NO RIGHTS VIOLATED.
Canadian Authorities Had Perfect
Right to Deport ThaW.

Washington Oct None of Harry X.
Thaw's treaty rights as an American
citizen were violated when Canadian i'm
migration authorities forcibly deported
him few weeks ago. That was the rul-
ing, Monday, of Solicitor Joseph W. FOLK
of the state department.
Thaw asked the state department to
make representations to the British en-
bassy in protest against his deportation
on Sept TO- In holding that none OF his
rights had been violated the department
declined to do so.
Solicitor Folk issued this statement:
after careful examination of the trea-
ties between this government and the
government of Great Britain, alleged to
have been infringed upon in the deporta-
ton of Harry X. Thaw from Canada, this
department can find no provision violated
by the action taken in connection with
this case by the Canadian authorities,
either administrative or judicial.
This department, therefore would not
be warranted in making any representa-
tons to the British government in the
matter The inquiry determined Is not
whether Thaw should be liberated or
whether extradition should be granted.
But the question before the department
is whether there was violation of any
British American treaty in the ina"
case by the Canadian authorities. The
reply must be in the negative. Senator
Oliver who brought the matter to the at
tention of the department will be advised
| accordingly"

in use for long time, but which is
now controlled by the New Haven.
The people who formerly received coal
and iron by vessel through this port
the Governor declared, ARE now fore
ed to get them by rail and pay 81 more
ton than formerly.
I'VE will be content only when we
get the Grand Trunk line through from
Canada to Boston" the Governor said,
and Mayor John +. Fitzgerald later
said he agreed with this statement of
the Governors. The trunk lines in

Venus the Goodies. Of High Finance

Werner Sombart, Germany's brilliant
scholar, is in deep disgrace with the
dry-as-dust economists. He has dared
to disprove in phrase what they say
in six volumes. These laborious, Cog
gle-eyed men have spent their lives
plainly trying to trace to a first cause
the modern capitalization of industry,
and they dispute fiercely as to whether
capitalism is the product of labor or
the result of growing population, or of
closer communication, or of the late
j. Pierpont Morgan.
Each is sure he is right. And now
along comes audacious Werner SOM
bart and derides them as deadly, in
competent dry-bones. He says that the
origin of everything capitalistic from
the billion-dollar Steel Trust down to
Wabash common is love, heavenly

GHOSTS ARE FUNNY THINGS.
Each Governs Itself According to Its
Own Sweet Will,

The ghost-hreaker in the melodrama
now playing in Boston had little faith
in apparitions and great confidence in
& revolver. The dramatists and Mr..
Warner may be pleased to know that
solemn exoreism is still practieed in
England. A ghost had annoyed the
inmates of Asfordsby Rectory. Leices-
tershire, for over 80 years. A few
days ago the Rev. f. A. Gage Hall, the
rector, put on cassock and a surpiiee,
went into the haunted section of the
Eouse and commanded the ghost or
ghosts to depart lin the name of the
Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost"
The rector now believes that the ex-
srcism was successful. The rectory is
an old and rambling building. which
has been the dwelling place of we'll
known persons, and the scene of hor-
rid deeds.
This ghost of Asfordsby was not a
headless lady, nor a blood stained and
grooming specter. 1t did not move to
the clanking of chains. The habit of
tho spook was to pull off blankets and
sheets from the beds of sleepers in the
middle of the night. Thus the Rev. Z.
III. Strudwick, Vicar of MILESTONE. re-
Gently slept in one of the haunted
rooms. He was awakened by a tug

aminations prepared for him by the
railroad officials, his length of service

tanning promotion
NO railroad labor organization has
ever demanded the promotion of an
employee II he was unable to qualify
as to merit and ability. There never
was time when the railroad compa-
MES were requested to keep ineompe-
tent men at work and the seniority
rule has always been understood by Of
ficials and by employees to be pro-
tectioa for the men against favorit-
ism on the part OF the officials. Any
thinking man on careful analysis OF
this rule cannot but agree that the
public is more properly safeguarded
because of the existance of this rule
than it would be il the promotion OF
men te responsible positions on rail-
road trains was solely within the pow
err of the railroad officials. Where there
is compliance with the seniority rule
on the part of the railroad, the pupilc
is assured that there is in control oil
the trains men not only of merit and
ability, but men who have had the
practical experience Of many years.
.To be sure Of, % you say promotion
and the assignment of duties accord
ing to seniority without regard to ht-
ress, were the rule, there would be
absolutely no defence to your attack,

that YOU will do yourself, the people
