BUTCHERINO SUGGESTIONS.

Cut your lard into small pieces
and run through the meat chopper
before rendering, and you will have
almost all lard and very few crack
lings when through cooking.
A teaspoonful Of common baking
soda in the water in which you start
your lard to rendering makes it

Sprinkle a thin layer of salt in
the bottom of jars before pouring

Canadians Will Deport Him to
Vermont, if He Desires to
Go There.
IF HE STAYS AND
LOSES N. Y. GETS HIM
Attorneys Want Thaw to Go
to Vermont, But He Insists
on Staying.
BY JOHN E. NEv1N. i,

UNITED Press Staff COrespondent)
Sherbrooke, Que, Aug 23.-lnformed
that he is an undesirable citizen, but
that Canada does not want to surrender
, him without protection, Harry X. Thaw
was told by the Canadian authorities
today that he must decide for himself
whether to stay in Canada or be deport-
ed to Vermont.
Despite, his appeal to the British
sense OF fair play, the fugitive was
bluntly told that he is an unwelcome
guest and that if he wanted to go to
Vermont the Canadian authorities would
help him get there. This means that
the New York authorities will not be
able to arrest Thaw while in Canada.
Thaw is at odds with his Canadian at.
torneys, who think it best that he fight
the New York authorities in Vermont.
Thaw says he wants to stay in Canada,
but his attorneys have told him he
would be safer in Vermont.
Disagrees With Lawyer.
Thaw also was told that if he persists
on staying here and fighting deporta.
tiOn he will be surrendered to the New
York authorities if he loses. The fug-
tive's attorneys say that he cannot be
extradited from Vermont. The prison
er says this is not true-that he can be
extradited. He flatly refuses to give
the source of this information, and the
lawyers, believing that Thaw has the
right to decide bis own case, are al.
lowing him to make his own decision.
He says he will let them know his
choice Monday.
Thaw's attorneys say that if Harry
stays in Canada, they may keep his
case, on appeals, in Canadian courts for
five years, but refuse responsibility for
the final outcome.
Coming to Aid Thaw.
Henry Hirschberg, Thaws personal
attorney arrived here today and con.
firmed a report that former Governor
Stone of Pennsylvania, and D. T.
Thompson and William Blakely, of
Pittsburg, are coming here to aid the
fugitive.
The following comment on threats of
Mitchell Thompson, the chauffeur who
drove the machine in which Thaw o..
capped from Matteawan, to tell all he
knows Of the escape unless the fugitive
comes to his aid was issued from
Thaw's cell here today;
"Thaw has engaged Louis st. Laur.
ent, Of Quebec, to act as counsel for
Thompson, who is British subject
Thaw wants to know why Thompaon
was arrested He vii be iif position IN

can demand trial by jury. In the event
