 Thaw is enjoying himself in the calaboose, where he is treated with considerable deference and allowed to play the hero role.
 The New York state authorities say that the recent court proceedings were so obviously farcical as to make certain a revulsion of feeling through out Canada which will force Premier Bordep to act should the provincial premier decline to take a hand.

SENATOR D0NS WAR PAINT
LA TOILETTE SCORES CALLING.
 FER AND HIS TYPE"
Acrimonious Scrap FoIows-Bristow Amendment for Higher Income Tax
 Defeated by Vote of 46 to 16.

Washington, Aug. 29-In a verbal tilt marked by intense bitterness, Sen ator La Toilette predicted the retire ment of Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire, Republican leader, and others of his type" because of their failure to adjust themselves to chang ing industrial conditions.
 The colloquy followed Senator La Follette's declaration that Republican senators who were voting against a heavier income tax on big incomes in- cluded many who had always op- posed the establishment of any in come tax"
 He was commenting upon the de- feat of the Bristow amendment. pro. posing tax running up to 10 per cent on incomes of $100,000, and against which 13 Republicans and the solid Democratic side voted
 q am sorry there is a division on the Republican side" said Senator La Toilette. There is a new day com ing. If the Republican party will no: see it, then it's place will be taken by some party that will"
 He recalled that he had predicted some vacant seats" six or seven years ago and the prediction had been full filled.
 Tt is true some senators have dis appeared from this side, retorted Senator Gallinger, and it is equally true that the Republican party has been put out of power by some men who sympathize with the senator from Wisconsin in his extreme views"
 The Republican party has been put out of power by the people of this country who sympathize with the views which I am now expressing" |" cried Senator La Toilette, shaking his hand, 'and they will put more men out of the senate of the type of the senator from New Hampshire before we get through with these issues"
 The defeat of the Bristow amend ment, 46 to 16, came at the end of a debate, during which many Repub- licans had urged heavier tax on the larger incomes of the country. The Democrats voted solidly against the change, as they had done in the case of the Borah amendment.
 Senator La Toilette proposed anoth- CT amendment as soon as this was de- feated, changing the basis of tax. It proposed an increase of one-half of Der cent on each $10,000 up to $50 1000; an increase of 1 per cent on each S10,000 from $50,0O0 to $1O0,000 and a jump from per cent to 10 per cent for all incomes above $100,000.

,preENcE OF CANADIAN SECRET SERVICE AGENTS ALARMS
 HIS COUNSEL.
JEROME INTERVIEWS COLIN
Nsv York Authorities Seek to Quash Recent Court Proceedings-Poli- tics May Bar Progress in
 That Direction.

Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug. 29.-Har. ry K. Thaw is under the constant guard of his attorneys, who are talk ing turns in standing watch. The ad- mitted reason is a fear on the part of Thaw's counsel that an attempt may be made to kidnap him. Immigration officials and members of the Canadian secret police are much in evidence here. A rumor is afoat that attor. neys for New York state have re- ceiyed assurances that they will get their man if they will only be patient.
 William T. Jerome is in Quebec en. deavoring to convince Sir Lomar Gouin, premier of the province of Que bee, that the recent court proceedings were utterly partial. Gouin has the power to Quash all charges against Thaw, and it is admitted that if he can be induced to take this step the immigration authorities will prevent further legal complications by escort. Ing InaW directly across the Dorder. But Gouin is Liberal politician Sher- brooke is Liberal stronghold.
 Thaw is unquestionably popular here. In consequence, Thaw's lawyers are not greatly worried over the pos sbiity of success attending Jerome's mission. Should Thaw remain here another A hours both sides admit that his stay probably will continue uninterrupted until October at least.
 Thaw's lawyers insist that he not only will remain in Canada, but that he will be admitted to bail within a week. They have not, however, ap. piled for bail vet, and will not do so

Washington, Aug. 29.-President Huerta has made concessions in his stand against the American mediation plan.

Troops Sent to Border.

Tn the meantime, preparations for the hands off policy proceeded. More troops were sent to the border, but the movement probably will not begin before next week. Garrisons at Brownsville, Tex; Jefferson Barracks, Mo; Fort Leavenworth, Kan; Forts Crook and Omaha, Neb.; Fort Riley, Kan Fort D. A. Russell, WyO., and the great lakes division probably will be called upon first to furnish DOT tions of the increased border patrol
 Secretary of State Bryan and Secre tary of the Navy Daniels conferred upon plans for removal of American refugees from Mexico. It is probable that transports will be sent to Vera Cruz and Tampico. Few are deemed necessary, as there are only about 5000 Americans now in Mexico. It is believed many of these will take a chance and remain there.

Vera Cruz, Aug. 29.-That John Lind's departure from Mexico City and coming here was a successful ruse de. signed to force the hand of President Huerta is the opinion entertained here. Lind is still in Vera Cruz.

 this government has recognized the legality of his provisional status un- der the Mexican constitution.
 This is denied by the administration here. No such interpretation of this governments representations is pos sible, officials asserted.
 The new request made by Huerta, in effect, reopens negotiations upon the minor counter proposals of Huer- ta No definite reply will be made by President Wilson, through Lind, until the full text of Huertas note is re- ceived.
 What may or may not be another concession by Huerta was hinted at by Lind. The special envoy said that the de facto executive had advised him in substance that the president of the United States must be unfa- miliar with the Mexican constitution or else he would have known that the provisional president could not possi- bly, be a candidate for the presidency.
 Could Resign to Be Candidate.
 Officials here, of course, were per fectly aware of the prohibition against a provisional president being candi- date for the constitutional presidency. They were also aware of the expedi- ent which could be adopted by Huerta that of resigning the provisional presidency-to become a candidate. The original Gamboa note was inter preted to mean that Huerta would adopt this scheme. It is now thought possible that in the note to Lind there may be an indication that Huerta will actually not be a candidate. The Huerta note, judged from the Lind condensation, is believed by officials to be merely another step in the Mex lean governments plan to temporize and sidestep the issue.
 A further message from Lind was received. and laid before the presi. dent by Secretary Bryan. No intima ton of it's contents was vouchsafed.
 "All can say is that 1t was en couraging," the secretary declared.
 Bryan said that Lind would not leave Mexico as yet. He would not

WATER FAMINE RESULTS
FROM COLD WEATHER

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. To-day
dawned colder than yesterday, and al
though IT grew warmer toward noon,
there seemed no immediate relief
from the water famine resulting from
the swollen streams. Schools, big
business and mercantile houses and
even the general offices Of railroads
are closed, 1t Is claimed, because the
lack of water precludes the heating of
buildings.
Switch engines on the Oregon Short
Line are compelled to run to Farming
ton, 16 miles away, to obtain water for
their boilers.
The mercury reached its lowest
mark for years at a. m. when 1t fell
to 2.3 below zero. In some parts Of
the city a little water has been OBJ
tanned following the blasting Of ice in
the streams that supply the mains.
