JUDGE AGREES TO GRANT
WRIT IN The THAW CASE
May Defeat Attempt Of Thaw's Law
yers to Keep Their Client In
Canada indefinitely.

Sherbrooke. Quebec lit was re-
ported in Sherbrooke Friday that Su-
perior Judge Hutchinson, returning
from his vacation, has agreed to grant
to Canadian lawyers acting for New
York state a writ of habeas corpus,
calling for the production of Harry
X. Thaw in court at once.
This move, II carried put, might de-
feat Thaw's lawyers in their attempt
to keep him in jail Indefinitely. Will
liam Travers Jerome, who represents
New York state here Id the Thaw
case, refused to affirm oil deny the re-
port. Judge Hutchinson is brother
judge of Superior Judge Slobensky.
Dominion immigration authorities
who had left town hurried back here
to await new developments. Samuel
Jacobs, chief counsel for New York,
held a conference in the matter with
Mr.. Jerome that lasted until after
midnight.
Roger Thompson, erstwhile Times
square chauffeur, lounged about the
hotel corridors Friday afternoon,
dined and luached near Jerome,
wrote letters to friends, walked the
streets unmolested and kept silence
as regards the Thaw case. He was
released on $500 bail on the double
charge of having entered Canada by

Political Opinions.

AS a rule, the son Of twenty years
today holds political opinions a little
in advance Of those of his father. At
thirty he generally adopts the politics
of his grandfather. and at forty the
politics of his great-grandfather. At
fifty he has nothing that can be called
politics, but merely set OF pre1udices
Of no use to anybody" Thus Bernard
Shaw in an admirable example of con-
fusion of thought. What are preiu-
dices? Opinions for which there is no
warrant in reality 1t is, of course,
commonly observed that the opinions
of twenty are formed upon a wide
and deep knowledge OF human nature.
Men of fifty are recognized by all the
younger generation to lack that alto

rhres Killed h Wreck,

Cedar Rapids, Ia--Train No. 444,
southbound, on the DEBORAH branch of
the Chicago & Rock Island, was
wrecked within two miles Of Maynard
at 3:45 Monday. The entire train was
derailed, rolling down ten-foot en-
bankment. Three were instantly kill
ed and thirty-five others were more
or less seriously injured. The cause
of the accident was the spreading of
the rails. AS soon as the engine left
the rails the coaches turned oyer and
slid down the embankment. A special
train was made up at 0elwein and left
Maynard, bringing the injured to this
city.
The train was running between
twenty-five and thirty miles an hour,
which is an unusual speed for trains
on this branch.

OPENED
BY THE PRESIDENT
PRESIDENT WILSON OPENS FIRST
EXHIBITION OF ITS. KIND
HELD IN UNITED STATES.
Sixty Gays Session Of the Exposition
at Knoxville, Tenn.-Aid to Main
tanning Health and Increasing
Natural Resources Planned.

Knoxville, Tenn.-A wireless mes
sage from, President Wilson was the
signal for the opening OF the National
| Conservation exposition, the first in
the history Of the country devoted to
the cause of conservation. The mes.
sage was received about 10 a. m. a.
the wireless station on the exposition
grounds.
Governor Hooper of Tennessee,
Mayor Heiskell of Knoxville and T. A.
Wright, president of the exposition,
participated in the opening cere-
monies. The exposition will continue
| through September and October,
and while designed primarily to teach
the lesson of conservation" is intend
ed also to demonstrate the CONNER
cial and industrial advance Of the
south
The exposition grounds with lakes
and drives embrace more than 100
| acres on which have been erected
eleven large buildings with total OF
100000 feet'of floor space. The build
ings are the Liberal Arts, the Land,
with an auditorium annex seating
5000 persons, the Woman's, the
Child Welfare, the East Tennessee,
the All-South, the Mines and Minerals,
the Art, the Livestock, the Poultry
and the Negro.
Exhibits have been furnisherd by
the federal government as well as by
all Of the southern states and will dis
play many kinds OF natural resources
The larger southern cities will be rep
resented by individual exhibits Con-
servation of human life, health and
energy ais well as Of the land, water
and forests will be emphasized.
I'm its conception, in it's aims and
purposes" reads the official descrip-
ton, the National Conservation expo
sition is unique; 1t is unique in other
respects. Expeditions Of the past
have always been held to commemor
ate and celebrate something that has
been accomplished; the National Con-
servation exposition, on the other
hand, looks toward the future. 1t will
stand out as the sign OF something
that is to be done.
THE exhibits of the United States
will be most complete and all viii be
designed to teach these conservation
lessons. In the good roads exhibit,
the forestry. the mines, the land and
in other exhibits the federal displays
will be devoted entirely to the sub
jects of conservation in It's different
branches. So, too, the different state
exhibits are designed not only to show
the progress made in material ways
by these states, but also to bring out
the conservation idea.
THE child welfare exhibit, the first
ever made in the south. is under the
direction of Miss Julia C. Lathrop,
head of the children's bureau of the
United States department of labor
The Russell Sage Foundation Of New
York and other philanthropic institn.
lions are deeply interested in this de.
partment. It will be devoted to an ex.
position of the best and the most adj
yanced methods of conserving the
health and the strength of the grow
Ing child.
