action taken by the Canadian authorities
will amount to his election" from the
Dominion. The habeas corpus proceed
ings before Justice Arthur Globensky will
be dropped and the department immedi
ately will order his deportation TO New
port, VT.
There is no doubt that Canada would
like to get rid of the prisoner. According
to the very highest legal authorities
Thaw might wage his fight in the Do
minion for several years before his last
resource was exhausted. and the Can
adian officials want to prevent this, If
possible.
Thompson WIthdravs Threats.
One element of danger to Thaw was
removed today when Roger Thompson,
who aided his escape and is now a pris-
oner irf the same Jail, withdrew his pre-
vious threats and said that he would not
reveal anything of the plans leading up
to the escape from Matteawan. II all the
details of the fight were known, it might
complicate matters for Thaw and give
the New York authorities basis for de-
Of bribery.
Thompson said that everything has
been fixed up" This indicated that he
had been seen by a representative of the
Thaw family and promised help in escap-
ing from 1 is predicament.
With almost the gleefulness of a
schoolboy. Thaw received the news that
William Travers Jerome, who had been
termed the prisoners ''Nemisis,'' had been
appointed a special deputy attorney gen
eral Of New York TO secure the million
aires return from any Commonwealth to
which Canada might send him.
It's almost worth being deported to
have Willie on the job once more"
laughed Thaw, but 1 notice Jerome
isn't coming to Canada He is wise in
that decision, and Gov. Glynn will be
good deal wiser before this thing is
over, and when he begins to realize the
strength of public opinion"
The prisoner received a postal card
from Chicago that is believed to have
come from two of the men who helped
him escape from Matteawan and ac-

MANY GIRLS WILL BE

Chicago, Aug. IA harvest in ruined
girls the country over-I see this as the
certain result of this widespread pub
licity and false glamor thrown about the
affairs OF Evelyn Nesbit Thaw," was the
statement today of Mrs. Winnie Bran

organizer for the suffrage movement.

ington Regret that Matter
Is Being Exploited for the
Benefit of the Actress.

American girls are harmed and sub,
jected to evil influence by stories In
which Mrs. Evelyn Thaw is put forth a.
a heroine who is waiting to be perse'
cuted by her husband in case he should
not be returned to Matteawan, it was
said yesterday by several prominent
women of Washington.
That the publicity given her because
of the recent escape Of Mr.. Thaw from
the New York insane asylum would be
sufficient to weaken some young girls,
was the belief of several of those who
discussed the subject.
Mrs. William a. Cullop, wife of the
Representative from Indiana, charged
that Mrs Thaw is posing, or being posed,
as a heroine, when, in reality, she is a
bad example to American girlhood.
"She is capitalizing on the publicity
given her husband said Mrs. Cullop
Her press agents are thankfully using
Mr.. Thaw's escape as a method to turn
the public to the box Office. The whole
affair is being exploited for her benefit
and the detriment of girls who view
her success"
Calls 1t UndiEni6ed.
Mrs. Robert NJ. La Toilette, wife OF
the Senator from Wisconsin, declined 20
comment at length.
The whole affair. of course, is un-
wholesome as well as undignified," she
said. Il feel that any further comment
or any phase of the subject would be

formal resignation not having been ac-
cepted as yet-the ranking Democrat
under Chairman Underwood, of the
Ways and Means Committee. He is one
OF the two men most responsible for the
removal of duties on raw wool. sugar,
and meats In the Underwood tariff bill,
and he is one Of the hardest workers on
the committee, OF which he has been a
member only four years.
Mr.. Harrison owes his appointment
more largely to his tariff work than to
any other one cause. When the minority
of the Ways and Means Committee were
trying to get together on short notice
their adverse report on the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff bill in 1909. Harrison. the
youngest member OF the committee. went
to then Minority Leader Clark and said:
"Give me something to do. Mr.. Clark.
You leaders have your hands full" And
they gave him the chemical schedule.
which is as obnoxious to the average
tariff maker as the fumes of most chem
icals are to the average citizen.
Conquered the Schedule.
But Mr.. Harrison is a student, who en-
joys to battle with an intricate problem.
He took hold with a will. and he found
more "jokers' in the chemical schedule
as prepared by the Republicans than
were thought possible. Since that tine
he has gone through two revisions. and
he has always mad the chemical schedule
to work on.
Harrison comes from New York-or
rather he came from New York to Con-
gress. But he is a SOutherner, great
grandson of Thomas Jefferson. After he
had spent two years as prize tutor at the
New York Law School, he enlisted in the
First New York Cavalry at the outbreak
Of the Spanish-American war. He would
have gone to Porto Rico with the main
part of that body, except that he had a
commission as captain wished on him and
was held in Southern camps.
After he had been mustered out. Presi-
dent Mckinley offered him a commission
in the regular army as captain in the
First Philippine expedition. Harrison did
not believe in the subjugation of the
Philippines by force then any more than
he does now. and he declined.
Congratulated by Cleveland.
With Southern blood in his veins, Har-
rison didn't stay out of politics long.
While in California in 1902 on a hunting
trip he received a wire from friends in
New York to come back and accept the
Democratic nomination from the Thir-
teen District of New York, strongly
Republican district. The first political
speech he ever listened to was his own

DEMOCRATS PEACEFUL
IN CURRENCY DEBATE
Caucus Receivers from Its Uproar
Caused by Bryan Note and Gets

ALFALFA BILL HAS AMENDMENT

Consideration of the administration
banking and currency bill was resumed
yesterday in the caucus of the Democrats
of the house. The session was peaceful
by contrast with that of Friday, when
the insurgents ran to cover upon the
presentation Of letter written by Will
lam ]. Bryan indorsing the administra-
ton bill.
Only one important amendment was
agreed to yesterday. II was presented by
Alfalfa Bill ! ray of Oklahoma, and
of the Federal reserve board shall be
selected from any Federal reserve dis
tTict.
The insurgents were more calm than ut
any previous session. They opposed the
sections of the bill defining the powers
of the Federal Reserve Board, but IN
sisted only on the adoption of the Murray
amendment, which was readily accepted
by Representative Glass, chairman # the
Banking Committee, who is handling the
bill in caucus.
Harmony" is now the watchw1rd OF
the Democrats of the House. They are
trying to conciliate the insurgents, who
were beaten through a combination ef-
fected by the readers and the administra-
ton. Representatives Henry Of Texas
and Ragsdale of South Carolina still
insist that their ideas concerning aSri-
cultural credits will be incorporated in
the pending bill. A compromise on this
proposition will be made entirely salts

CLERKS TO GET
PAY SATURDAY
Treasury Employees Need Not
Wait Over Labor
Day.
MERCHANTS ARE PLEASED
Decision Of Comptroller Of the Cur
reney May Establish Precedent
for Other Departments.

BY decision of the Comptroller of the
Currency yesterday, It is probable that
the yearly bogey of shopkeepers and
managers of amusement parks has been
dispelled. Mr.. Downey ruled that Treas
ury Department clerks might be pail on
Saturday, August 30. in order to avoid a
two-day wait over Labor Day.
The problem each year has worried
those who might be benefited by a holi-
day on which department clerks nave
more or less weighted pockets. Because
Labor Day falls only a few days after
the last OF August. it has been the cause
OF many arguments whether it would be
lawful to pay clerks before they had
technically earned their money.
This year the question was brought up
early. Next Saturday is the 3Oth and a
half-holiday. Sunday is holiday. Mon
day is Labor Day. 1t was to DC decided
whether it would be legal to pay govern
ment employees :wO days before the usual
time. in conside' alton of the fact that
they would not work until the I'd of Sep
tember.
Sentiment Favorable.
Beyond a few pessimists who argued
that, If paid on Saturday, the clerks
probably would be relieved Of most Of
their money before Tuesday, sentiment
of the clerks assertiveIy, was favorable.
In most of the other government de-
partments, il is thought by officials, that
the pay day will be advanced, IL possible,
There has been no decision in any de-
partment other than the Treasury De-
partment. but the precedent established
by Mr.. Downey, will be followed, 1t is
said.
The Government Printing Office pay
day is looked forward to by more than
l. 600 employees. W. J. Dow, chief clerk
Of the Office, said last night that it was
probable clerks would be paid on Satur-
day. Mr.. Dow, who is a lawyer, said
that the decision of Mr.. Downey would
enable department heads to order the
clerks paid on Saturday.
