Coaticook, Que, Sept Sunless a
hitch occurs, William Travers Jerome,
especially retained by New York state
to secure the return of Harry X. Thaw
to Matteawan will appear before Dis
trict Magistrate Mulvena here this aft
ernoon to answer the charge of gamb-
ling. His case had been set for hear
ing Thursday, Sept. II, but both sides
agreed last night to advance it, and
Jerome announced over long-distance
telephone from Montreal that he would
be here without fail He was on the
point of leaving for New York, under
the impression that the case could not
be called today.
Magistrate Mulvena of Sherbrooke
agreed to hear the case, displacing Jus.
tice of the Peace James Mckee, who
signed the warrant for Jeromes arrest,
and subsequently denounced him in
court when Jerome left town being
admitted to $500 bail
Jerome was arrested last Thursday
after playing poker with New York
newspaper men, and was released un.
der $500 BAIL He went to Montreal to
prepare for the court battle when Thaw
is arraigned on writ of habeas corpus
Sept. Is.
No word had come to Coaticook
from the Department of the Interior
at Ottawa as to when Harry X. Thaw
viii be taken to Montreal for his
hearing Sept. Is before the Kings
bench on the writ of habeas corpus, OBJ
tanned by his counsel. The quarters
here are comfortable and the immigra-
ton agents in charge said again that
Thaw might be held until the last
moment.
THE department does not desire to
stir up any more excitement about the
Thaw case than is absolutely neces-
sary,' said T. B, Williams, one of the
immigration officers. There has been
enough already, and when Thaw is re-
moved it will be as quietly as possible
We don't want any fuss"
Thaw's Sunday was perhaps the
most uneventful day since his arrival
in Canada. He had only two callers
his stenographer and his local counsel
w L. Shurtleff. Most of the day the
prisoner spent reading about himself
in the newspapers. The officers vol
unteered to take him for a walk. if
he felt in need of exercise, but Thaw
declined.
Tho hero-worshiping girls stood be-
meath the barred windows of his room
for half an hour this afternoon, hold
ing aloft bouquets and begging him to
show his face. 1--WE want to say we've
seen you once, Harry" they cried.
Just come to the window for a Sec
ond."
A guard turned and spoke to Thaw,
but the fugitive refused to show him
self.

HATTIEsBURG BOY FOUND Gull
TY IN SECOND DEGREE FOR
KILLING MEXICAN.
MINIMUM SENTENCE OF
ten YEARS IN PRISON
Maximum Penalty is Life, the Prisos-
oners incarceration eBing Condition
al Upon His Conduct Within Pen.
tentiary-others To Be Prosecuted.

Miami, Ariz, Sept S.-"Guilty of
murder in the second degree"
Such was the verdict of a Globe jury,
rendered at o'clock Thursday night
after eight hours of conference and
voting, in the case of Knox Laird. ac-
cused of the murder of Jose Perez,
Mexican, brutally slain in Miami near
ly four months ago.
Under the Arizona statute the yer.
dict reached by the jury entails an in
determinate sentence of ten years or
more the minimum being ten years
and the maximum life, the length of
the prisoners Incarceration within
those limits being conditional upon his
conduct within the penitentiary.
The murder of Perez has been the
most sensational case that has occur
red within the brief history of Miami,
as much because of the spectacular
features attending it as for the ap-
parent wanton brutality of the un-
provoked assault upon the victim.
BY some misunderstanding news of
the killing was sent out through the
news agencies in the guise of race
riot wherein mob of Americans pur-
sued the victim through the streets
of Miami, and this exaggerated ac-
count was spread broadcast through
out the United States. The murder
really occurred near dawn, when the
streets were deserted, except for the
group of prowlers who have been ac-
cused of the crime and a few belated
Miamians who witnessed the assault.
Thomas E. Flanagan made an able
address on behalf of the defendant in
which he endeavored to impress upon
the minds of the jurors that Laird was
being made a goat" of for a gang
of ruffians who were equally guilty of
the death of Perez.
County Attorney Johnson in the clos
Ing argument stated that the defend
ant was not the only man to be prose
cuted but that the other members of
the gang were also to be prosecuted.
He stated that the evidence showed
that although others were implicated
in the killing Of Perez, that Laird
was the leading spirit and his was
the hand that threw the rock which
resulted in the Mexican's death.

new LOCAL ROUTES
IN STATE HIGHWAY
SENATE STRIKES OUT DALTON.
GLENWOOD ROAD BUT LETS
BLAKELY IN.

Effective in June, 1916 -Four
Routes Approved by House Are
Stricken Out by Senate.
The Senate has amended the E.
b. Jones bill making new routes for
main state highways by striking out
four of the forty-one routes passed
by the house and adding forty-six
routes favored by members of the
senate, making the net number of
proposed new routes eighty-three.
AS it passed the legislature of
1911, the Sproul act designated 296
routes for main state highways con-
meeting important towns and cities.
This Jones bill, which is an amend
ment to the Sproul act, would in
crease the aggregate number of main
street roads, to be owned and main
tanned by the state, to $40. 1t is
specified, however, that the Jones
bill shall not become effective until
June, 1915, thus avoiding the addi-
tional expense to the state involved
in taking over the eighty-three new

The four routes approved by the
house that are stricken out by the
Senate are: From Waterford to

TENT CATERPILLAR MOTH OUT

The tent caterpillar moth has
Scommenced to lay it's eggs on little
twigs of trees, which is the beginning
of further and wider scope Of de-
vastation of the tent caterpillar.
Usually the moth lays it's eggs on
the southwest section of a tree. 1t
can be distinguished from the ordi-
nary moth by bar similar to the
number sign fl, only instead of be-
ing a double cross is single. The
eggs are laid upon the outer
branches and can be easily reached
by a pole pruner. The best time to
remove the eggs is after the leaves
have fallen. They can also be de-
stroyed by rubbing them off the
bark. The eggs are covered with
coating similar to varnish and can
be seen in the sunlight by the glis-
tening of the eggs. District State
Agriculturist w. H. Bullock says the
better way to destroy the eggs,
which do not hatch until next
spring, is to prune the tree.
