.THAW ON STAND
TELLS STORY OF
CANADIAN FLIGHT
Matteawan Fugitive Fears w.
T. Jerome Will Kidnap
Him in Vermont.
(Nationel News Association

COATICOOK, Quebec, Sept. A.
Fighting in the last ditch against de-
portation from Canada, Harry Ken
dali Thaw, the fugitive from the Mat
teawan asylum for the criminal in
sane, was arraigned before a board of
inquiry composed of representatives
of the Canadian department of immi-
grafton today. Although Thaw had
been warned by Attorney w. K. Nc
Keown that the decision of the board
probably would be against him, he was
more cheerful than he had been sew
eral hours early.
The board of inquiry is composed of
E. Blake Robertson, deputy superin-
tendent of the department of immi-
grafton, and immigration inspectors
T. D. Williams, David Reynolds and
T. E. Garceau.
ThaW on Stand.
Thaw was the first witness and
made good impression. He said he
left Matteawan for Pittsburg by a
roundabout way in order to circum-
vent his pursuers. He went to Ro-
chester, New Hampshire, by motor
car. He wanted to reach the first rail-
way point in Canada where he could
buy through ticket to Pittsburg. He
learned after purchasing a ticket at
Rochester that he could make better
time by taking another route, so he
bought a second ticket at Beecher's
Falls. Beecher's Falls happened to be
the last station on the Maine Central
railroad, so Thaw got off the train
there and engaged a man to drive him
over the border. He intended, he said,
to make his way to Coaticook and buy
ticket for Pittsburg. He was ar
rested on the way.
At this point Thaw was temporari-
ly excused from interrigat tion along
this line and alienists for the depart
ment of immigration began their ex-
animation.
H. Johnson who drove Thaw across
the line testified that he crossed the
border at Peabody's line house.
The low, cautious tone used by
Thaw frightened him and he refused
to go on, he said. Thaw and his COM
panions including Roger Thompson,
alighted and hired a carriage from
Octave Nadieu to drive them to an
inn at Barford, owned by Benjamin
Cadiux. Cadiux was on the stand

the conclusion 6ran address protest
ing against the use of machines that
might be employed to deprive the ma
jority of its right to rule.
Machines Not Reliable.
'T know of one case," said Mr.. Rea-
sor. where the machines were proved
unreliable beyond the slightest shadow
of a doubt. In an election in Colum-
bus, Ind, know it to be an absolute
fact that 1,169 votes cast in a special
election in that city were not regis
tered at all, and consequently not
counted. This was sufficient to turn
the election. When an appeal from
the official returns of the election. as
indicated by the machines, was made,
the county commissioners who had au-
thorized the purchase os the machines,
upheld the machine-made vote, deny
ing the expressed wishes of majority
of the citizens, who could have ex-
pressed their desires in unmistakable
fashion by the Australian ballot

slightest indication or any perceptible
proof that I had voted at all, must
confess that I doubted the infallibility
of the machine, particularly when
there was an expert behind 1t who
could plainly hear signals from out
side the booth.
One Trick of Machines.
"At a later election nine machines
in districts inhabited by laboring men
got out of order at 5 o'clock on the
evening of election day. The men
higher up did not care to have the
pshor vote counted and the machines

Even if the machines do work
right, | question whether the vote
could not be handled almost as rapidly
with three separate booths under the
present system. Remember, every
minute machine is out of commits
sion as the result of a breakdown
some one is losing a chance to vote.
The election hours are from in the
morning until in the evening There
is no extension of those hours be-
cause a machine happens to have
broken down for an hour or two. The
three booths at a polling place under
the Australian system never break
down. And when the rush hour for
voting comes, and it is the working
men who have to do most of their vot-
ing during the closing hours of elec-
ton day, it is three booths to one, an
average of two hundred votes to more
than six hundred, in a comparison
between the Australian balloting sys-
tenn and the voting machine"
Machines Poor Economy.
That the men who advocate the use
of the voting machines on the grounds
of economy are short-sighted in their
business views, was the contention of
r. G. Leeds, who stated that in arriv-
ing at the figures showing how their
use will cause an attractive saving in
election expenses, the advocates of
the machines have neglected to take
into consideration interest on money
invested or the item of depreciation.
Mr.. ]. NJ. Davis. representing the
Empire voting machine. issued a state
ment in 1909 which claimed to show
| that by the use of the voting machines
the cost of county elections would be
reduced by S2,1247o. The agent at
that time was advocating the use of
twenty-seven machines and stated that
the cost of holding an election with
these would average S4319 per ma
chine. Mr.. Leeds stated that he had
the cost of voting by machines fnves-
tigated in Marion county, where the
machines had been in use at that time
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-09-04

The deviousness Of this procedure
fits in with Commissioner Albert An
derson's statement that he knew moth
ing about the question of purcha sing
voting machines until the day before
the annual meeting of the county
council, Monday.
Auditor Bowman Says Usual Prece-
dent Followed.
County Auditor Bowman this morn
ing said that the action of the ccm-
missioners in not publishing in their
estimates an item for voting machines
was in accordance with past proce-
dure. He claimed that the voting ma
chine appropriation was special ap-

preparation and that he thought pub
lication of estimates was required on
ly for regular appropriations. He fur
ther claimed that the commissioners
had been considering the purchase of
the machines for the past eight or
nine months.
The state law provides that every
board of county commissioners shall
prepare a separate and similarly item
lied estimate of all money to be
drawn by the members of said board,
and of all expenditures to be made by
the board, or pursuant to its order,
during such year for any and all pur-
poses whatever"
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-09-04

considering special appropriations. II
Auditor Bowman, however, is right in
saying the commissioners have been
considering buying voting machines
for over eight months, then they had
plenty of time to prepare for an item
in their estimates for a regular appro-
priation for the machines.
Considered as a special appropria-
ton the voting machine proposition
popped up overnight, practically, to
take it's place with the regular ap-
preparations prepared according to
law for the consideration of the mem
bers of the county council at their
regular annual meeting.

II Was Report of Haas.
That the report of the Commercial
club on voting machines filed with the
board of county commissioners and
signed by E. NJ. Haas. Richard Sedg-
wick and w. H. Quigg. was in reality
the personal report of investigations
of Mr.. Haas. is the statement made
by Mr.. Quigg this morning. in dis
cussing the action OF the board of di-
rectors of the Commercial club in rec
ommending the purchase of the ma
chimes.
THE report which was filed with
the commissioners, | understand, was
the old report of 1909 brought down
to date. 1t was submitted to the
board of directors at its meeting Mon
day evening by Mr.. Haas and unani-
mously adopted. 1t was signed the
next morning before it was sent to
the commissioners by Mr.. Haas, Mr.
Sedgwick and myself. not as members
of any committee but merely as di-
rectors of the Commercial club" said
Mr.. Quigg.
Il am not very familiar with the
voting machine proposition, but
have no reason to dispute the report
made by the Commercial club, as
suppose that it was the result of
just and fair investigation.
Usual Procedure Followed.
so far as the statement that the
matter was handled in so-called Sc
crecy by the club is concerned, it is
always the case that matters under
consideration by the directors are
withheld from the public until some
definite action on the subject has been
taken. In the consideration of the gas
proposition. however, public meetings
were held because ii was necessary to
learn public sentiment in regard to
the matter. In the voting machine
matter. the action of the board had
been determined years before. by the
report which had been adopted by the
club"
Charles w. Jordan, secretary OF the
fair for the opponents of the voting
machines to make the assertion that
the item of depreciation should be
charged to the cost of the machines.
Statement by Jordan.
"They are to be paid for out of the
said. 1T is certainly fair to suppose
that they will be the means of saving
US enough money during their life to
pay for their actual purchase price.
Then when they are worn out we can
buy other machines on the same
terms. All that can fairly be charged
against the machines is interest on
the money invested"
Oppose Voting Machines.
There is no mistaking the senti-
ment of the shop in which I work re-
garding voting machines" said Alfred
Bavis, an inspector in the Hoosier
Drill plant today. Every man 10
whom 1 have talked regarding the
matter was strong in his stand against
their use in Wayne county"

chine? Well, if / had the power of

said in their behalf that offsets the
possibilities of disfranchisement of
many voters.
1T does not need manipulation TO
obtain such possibility. for the rea-
son. If a voter after voting fails to

chine, his vote is not recorded, for as

$40 Pupils Enrolled
First Day Of School

In point of attendance the
school outlook for this year is in
deed bright The Leader-Enter-
prise had estimated that enroll
ment for the year would reach
1000 but we were informed by
Mr.. Richie this morning. that
judging from the manner in
which new pupils are pouring in
the enrolment will reach LOO
far ec!ipsing any previous record
/ The attendance for the open
ing day was 820, as co pared
with 754 last September, and
there were 10 pupils who came
to school the first day but hadn't
procured their entrance card. so
were sent back to obtain it.
Counting these 10 pupils, the en-
rollmeet for the first day would
be 839. This is an exceedingly
good record for the first day and
is very encouraging to the facul-
ty and the school board.
All the new teachers have been
installed in their rooms, with the
exception of the domestic science
department, which is delayed a
week or SO, waiting for the ar
rival of equipment, which is ex-
pected soon, and this department
will be put in operation.

Davis May Be
Named Game
Commissioner

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 2 Who is
to be the successor of Game
Commissioner Jesse E. Mercer
continues to form the topic of
much speculation about the CAPT.
toll. While the governor is still
in the west and has made no an
nouncement as to the appoint
ment there seems to be pretty
strong opinion that his choice will
fall upol Charles L. Davis, of
Meriweather county.
Mr.. Davis has for many years
taken a great deal of interest in
the preservation Of game and
was one Of the most influential
men in the state in securing the
enactment Of the present law
In fact. next to the author of the
law, Minter Wimberly, of Macon,
Mr.. Davis is probably more re-
sponsible than anyone else for it's
being on the statute book.
There has been no criticism of
Mr.. Mercer's administration of
the law. which is generally ac-
knowledged to have been wise
and generally satisfactory. But
Mr.. Mercer, having never been
a supporter of the present adj
ministration, is not believed to
be an applicant for reappoint-
ment. In fact rumor has it that
a nice plum has been obtained
for him in Washington through
the auspices of Senator Hoke
Smith, and that he will take a
position there soon after he reIin-
pushes his present job at the
capitol.
Mr.. MERGERS term of office ex-
pired Monday, but. under the
law, he will continue to serve UNI
til his successor is appointed and
