SPECIAL BOARD PROBE
 INTO THAW'S INSANITY
Stanford Whites Slayer Passes Rest
 full Night Under Guard.

E Coaticook, Que, Sept. 4-Harry K. Thaw slept well, last night, notwith- standing reports of nervous collapse and was up before o'clock, this morn board of inquiry authorized under the Dominion's drastic immigration law to order him deported should it find him insane or an inmate of an institu- tion for the insane within five years of the time he entered Canada or that he crossed the border ''by stealth
 The scene of the secret hearing was a tiny office just off the immigration detention room where Thaw spent the night under guard. B. Blake Robert son, assistant superintendent of inn migration, was to be presiding officer, assisted by Inspectors Reynolds, Will Hams and GarOeau.
 It was only five miles from here, at Barford, that Thaw was first arrested after his entrance into Canada His captor, prompted by Sheriff Kelsea, of Co1ebrook, N. H., was John Boudreau, .Coaticook's chief of police, the man whose application for a writ of ha- beas corpus cast Thaw out of Jail and into the hands of the immigration officers at Sherbrooke, yesterday af- ternoon
 Thaw's lawyers, somewhat demoral- ized after yesterdays rapid develop mentS, spent the night in conference. All were pessimistic and gave it as their opinion that an attempt was be- ing made to railroad their client across the 1ine.'' In the unexplained absence of J. N. Greenshields, of Mon- K. LaF1amme, of Montreal, assumed the head of the Thaw forces. L. T. Marascha1 is counsel for the board of inquiry.
 Thaw denied them, this morning, when he learned that reports of his 1Zdr0 dor he e4- in had hoa circulated. Although no reporters were allowed to see him, he sent this word down by a guard, adding that he had received, early today, a mess age from his mother saying she was on her way in response to his ap- peal.
 William Travers Jerome said he would not come to the hearing, today, unless it was necessary.
 Sheriff Hornbeck, of Duchess Coun- ty, N. Y, who waited for more than a week in vain in Sherbrooke, has been wired to join the New York party here, preparatory to the seizure of Thaw on American soil. If present plans do not miscarry, Thaw will set foot in the United States again not far from Groton Mills, Vt, about nine miles from here-
 The board assembled at 9:15 nein- forced by a fifth member, Page Thorn ton, and sent out for Bible to swear witnesses.
 ''It may last half an hour, it may last a week. said MT. Robertson, as he went upstairs.
 Jerome and Dr. Kiebe came down and stood in front of the station. La F@lamme, of Thaw's counsel, did not put in an appearance and it was said he had left town suddenly, possibly in the hope of getting a writ of ha- beas corpus demanding Thaw's re- lease.
 There was delay in getting the in uuiry under way. Thaw, becoming impatient, stepped close to a window.

POPE PLUS IS
 SUFFERING FROM
 COLD BUT ACTIVE

Rome, Sept. 4-Pope Plus x is again suffering an indisp position, recalling the serious illness through which he passed, last Spring. At the vatican, it is said his present trouble is slight, due to a cold, but that 1t has brought on hoarseness, headache and slight ly rising temperature and the vatican physicians have suggested a. complete rest. His Holiness, however, insisted upon Keeping engagements he had made for today and he received in audience Cardinal Ferrari, of Milan, who headed a body of NTflanese pill grfns. The Pope, afterward, appear ed before the pilgrims themselves and welcomed them to Rome.
 The general condition of the Pope is good, according to the doctors, to- day. They think that although he is troubled by an occasional cough and some catarrh, he will easily overcome the affection, particularly with the favorable climatic conditions now pre- vailing.

EpiIeptic Home Will
 Be Ready Next Month

Superintendent Fred R. Johnson, of the Department of Charities today re- ceived notification from Superinten- dent Donald L. Ross, of the Mansfield Epileptic home that it was hoped to open the institution for the care of patients in October.
 This institution, which is limited in it's capacity is designed to care for all such cases throughout the state. It VII be a great relief to other insti- tutiors, though it is feared it will be oVercrowded with applicants from its opening day. There are at the Sres- ent time in Lakeview Home at least six cases which should be transferred and others are cared for temporarily by lCcal hospitals.
 The expense of the Mansfield insti- tutiCn will be borne by the state each city paying it's proportionate rate as is TOW the rule in insane cases. Epilep- tics will be committed by the probate court in the same manner as are the insane.

 ORGANIZATION OF LOCAL TRADE UNION

There is to be shoemakers union in this city if the plans which were promulgated at meeting of over 60 shoemakers and employers held last night in the Socialist Hall are carried into effect.

It was suggested that rules be made to have every shoe shop closed at 8 p. m. and 10 o'clock on Saturdays, no shop to be open on Sunday.
 Committees were appointed to visit other shoe store proprietors and la borers and to arrange for the holding of a larger meeting next Tuesday. The question of boot-blacks being per mitted to join is to be considered at that time.

 The hating people who are on the scene here watching the tariff state that they believe that Hi1Ps wish is father of the thought. They also look back a few months and recall that MT Hill told them that they would not be able to get more than 25 per cent. tariff on fur felt hats and ad- vised them to fold up their tents and beat a nasty retreat from the scene of tariff revision.

RAG SHOWER
CLEVER surprise got nm for

A CLEVER surprise got up for a
~ bride-to-be was rag shower -
The so-called rags were bags
for all kinds of housekeeping-dis
cloths, busters and every other thing
of the kind that the neatest of young
housekeepers might wish for.
There were dish towels, neatly hem
med and of different sizes for glasses,
silver and dishes; floor cloths, cha
mois for windows and iron holders.
Among the bags were laundry bags,
pudding bags, a shoe bag and others
that looked like it to hang on the in
side of door for dust brushes and
the like to go into.
Then there were workbags and bags
for dainty waists and even sachet
bags.
The individual articles are not ex-
pensive and they should be most ac-
ceptable.
