Head Of Police Force Greatly Improved
 In Health
Warmly Greeted By His SubOr- dinateS AS He Enters
 His Office
Superintendent

Superintendent of Police Eugene Birmingham returned to his desk at Police Headquarters today for the first time since his recent serious illness He was warmly greeted by the officers and patrolmen who complinented him on his fine appearance and his appar- ent recovery of health.
 The news of the return of the su- perintendent spread rapidly and he was soon shaking many sincere hands oe congratulation. Many citizens who beard of his return called in person to congratulate him while mnay oth- CTS sent in words of cheer over the telephone.
 It is needless to add that there was rejoicing among the rank and file of the men as well as among many of the superior officers for the men req 1ize that they never had a more loyal friends tkan superintendent has always proved to be.
 All that he has ever asked of his men is to go out and do police duty and meet the situations that frequent ly come up to the men on beat in a courageous and gentleman1y manner.
 When it became generally known that the head of the police depart ment was able to report for duty for 8 spell today and that his complete recovery was confidently expected by his relatives and physicians there were many expressions, of delight.
 In appearance Supt. Birmingham does not show the traces of the se- were illness which has confined him to his home for a period of almost four months. Slightly thinner in face and body, but with a much healthier look generally he at once became actively engaged in taking up the reins of police government.
 He cordially greeted the many visit ors and displayed vigor hardly ex- pected in one who na ssed through such an ordeal That he is happier at the helm than taking a vacation in other cities at once became evident when in reply to queries about his plans he indicated he would probably be seer | frequently at his office hereafter.

POLITICS NOW IN. TnAW CASE, LONG
 DELAY IS LIKELY
''Gent|eman Rogers" Lawyer May Prove
 Very Useful
Liberal In Politics Sent To Use Influence With Premier, Sir
 LOmer G0uin

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 2s-Louis St. Laurent, the lawyer retained by the Thaw family to defend Gentle man Roger Thompson, left, Sher- brooke suddenly, today, for Quebec in an attempt to head off William Tray CTS Jerome and Deputy Attorney Gen. eral Franklin Kennedy, of New York, who went to Quebec, yesterday, in an endeavor to enlist the aid of Sir Lomer Gouin, premier of the province of Quebec, in their efforts to deport Thaw.
 While MT. St. Laurent is not the most prominent of the Thaw defend CTS, his home is in Quebec and he is the only one of the Thaw legal con- tingent who is a Liberal in politics. Sir Lomer Gouin is a Liberal.
 It is said that St. Laurent received messages from prominent Liberal politicians here urging Sir Iomer Gouin not to interfere in the case. In the absence of all his counsel except Charles D. White, Thaw devoted to- day to letter writing. He also sent a number of telegrams. Unless there is interference, Thaw is likely to remain in jail until the Kings bench con venes in October.

JEROME MOVES TO GET
 THAW OUT OF JAIL

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 2s-The case of Harry K. Thaw, so far as Sher- brooke is concerned, entered the tenn porary doldrums, today. The court victory of his lawyers, yesterday, in Quashing their own writ of habeas corpus and having him re-committed to Jail, means either that he will re- main there until tried by the Kings bench, criminal side, in October, or that the New York attorneys, out fIanked to date in legal skirnnishes, must make some new move looking to his liberation and seizure by the immigration authorities for deporta- ton.
 They were working, today, along two lines. William Travers Jerome and Franklin Kennedy, deputy attor- ney general, conferred with the at torney general of the province at Quebec seeking some means of ob- taining his authority for getting Thaw out of his cell. Other counsel for New York continued their efforts to persuade Alexis Dupuys, 8 magis- trate, or justice of the peace, at Coati- cook, to withdraw the commitment which he issued. after Thaw's arrest there, 12 days ago, and on which the fugitive is held in the Sherbrooke jail Efforts to get M. Dupuys into court had met with flat failure up to late last night.
 Most of Thaw's distinguished Cana dian counsel left town, last night, to recuperate after the rigors of their court battles and Thaw himself, con- tent to stay in jail here, rather than take any chances of being deported, either in Vermont or New Hampshire by any ill-advised liberty at this time, planned to spend a quiet day in his cell. His statement of last night ex- pressed appreciation of the flair play'' accorded him so far since his arrival in Quebec. It has been suggested that Fhaws lawyers might attempt to seek his release on bail in view of the long period of confinement ahead of Nhirn But it is considered unlikely that they would take any such chances. Free, even under bail, he might fall into the hands of the immigration agents
 The case of Gentleman Roger Thompson, the chauffeur who con fessed that it was he who drove the car which took Thaw away from the asylum gate, Is due to come up in police court, tomorrow. It probably will be postponed. Thompson is charged with violating the Dominion immigration laws in assisting an un- desirable alien to cross the border. Since his first threat to ''squeaI." Rog
 CT has shut his mouth and sees no one but counsel employed for him by the Thaws.
 One of the many mysteries connect ed with the Thaw case is the non arrival here of Roger O'Mara the Pittsburgh detective who had been ex- pected for days to represent the Thaw family. It was said he would be here about the time Jerome came to mar shal the New York forces but up to today nothing had been heard from him.

 In denouncing the proprietor at the time, City Attorney Pullman said, You may be a. good stone mason, but you're a rotten saloon keeper
