OFFICIALS STILL DODGE
THE WORD GOVERNOR

Gov. Sulzer's message to Secretary OF
State Bryan asking that the Canadian
authorities be requested to deport Harry
X. Thaw was received at the State De-
partnent yesterday. The message was
as follows:
please instruct the consul general
at Ottawa to request minister in charge
of immigration, by local immigration
officer at Sherbrooke, TO return Harry
X. Thaw. an escaped lunatic, to the
United States at Rouse's Point, N. Y.
...... WILLIAM sULzER, Governor"
Mr.. Bryan's reply was addressed to
Hon. William Sulzer, Albany, N. Y. 1t
read as follows:
"The case OF Thaw being one on
which, in its present aspect, as in
volving the application of the Canadian
immigration laws, this government
cannot act oficially. Steps have been
taken to lay information as to his es-
cape informally before Canadian au-
thorities."
In reply to a message from acting Gov.
GIynn, Secretary OF Labor Wilson yes
terday wired that he could not find any
law that would authorize the Department
of Labor to ask the Canadian government
to deport Harry X. Thaw. Secretary
Wilson, following the example of Secre-
tary Bryan, carefully avoided addressing
Mr.. Glynn as Acting Governor" This
is the message sent by Secretary Wilson:
Hon. Martin II. Glynn,
Hon. Thomas Carmody,
State House, Albany, N. Y.
II am unable to find any law which
would authorize the Department of Labor
to ask the Canadian government to drport
Harry K. Thaw to the State Of New York
as requested by you. 1 am advised that
steps have already been taken by the De-
partment OF State to bring the matt sr
to the attention OF the Canadian govern
ment through the proper diplomatic chan
nels. ". B. WILSON.

Reign of Myth.

From the Kansas City Star.
There is lot of myth taught In our
ichools and colleges for truth. The most
absurd Of it all is the Anglo-Saxon myth.
All the glories of Britain and America
are credited to a small fraction of Brit
tons and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The Celtic myth is enArined in liter
ature as sacred cult. Anthropology has
proven that the Scots and the Irish are
not Celtic, although they spoke a Celtic
language. The romance about the Saxon
and the Gael is absurd; there is no Diff
ference other than language between the
Highlander and the Lowlander. The
King Of England has been a myth since
1907. Two great Englishmen are spoken
of-the Duke Of Wellington and Sir Wal
ter Scott-the former was an Irishnan,
and the other a Scot

pendence of civilization, into a swamp of

ATHLETIC FEDERATION
DEFINES AMATEUR
Committee of international A,.o-
citation Turns in Report Giving
Exact Status of Athletes.

Oh international AssO-
citation Turns in Report Giving
Exact Status of Athletes.
Berlin. Aug. 22-The convention Of the
International Athletic Federation reached
critical stage here today when the
committee appointed to draft a universal
dehntlon of an amateur turned in its re-
port. The chief points of the rule is that
an athlete who accepts pecuniary re-
ward, no matter how, becomes a profess
sional. Excepting track and field sports,
amateurs and professionals may COM
pete together for nonmoney prizes II the
rules so permit in the country in which
the competition is held. Teachers, train
ers, and coachers come under the head
of professionals, though countries NAV
exempt employees of the government if
necessary.
The selection OF events for. the track
and field program occupied a lot of time.
Different countries fought for the reten-
ton Of their favorite events. England
demanded that there should be plenty of
walking contests, while the Swedes, Nor
wegians, and Firms wanted the ambi-
dexterous items in the tavelin. shot put
ting, and discus, and America insisted
on the standing jumps.
After a lengthy discussion the commit
tee in charge of this section of the ses-
sion finally agreed on a tentative sched-
ule. The standing jumps fell by the way
side, and so did the ambidexterous con-
tests with the :avelin, shot and discus.
Only best-hand contests in these will be
allowed. The walks will be retained:
and it was a victory for the United States
that the 56-pound weight and 4OO-meter
hurdle race were inserted. The German
anu Swedes termed the standing jump
circus stunts"

authorities 10 prove that 1 am insane"
Thaw's counsel are spending sixteen
hours a day delving into the Canadian
statutes to secure some peg upon which
they might hang their contention that
Thaw must be proven insane in Canada.
Ip the Canadian immigration act II is
declared that idiots, imbeciles, feeble
minded persons and persons who have
been insane within five years previous
are subject to deportation. 1t is not
specifically stated that persons that have
been inmates OF insane asylums are sub
ject to deportation. 1t will be the con-
tention of Thaw's lawyers that he is in
sane only in New York State and that
anywhere else in the world it must be
proven that he is insane.
IF Thaw is deported TO New York State
the immigration act will have been
stretched to impigne upon the extradition
treaty." said one OF Thaw's lawyers to-
night ''The immigration laws were en-
