Forbes pulled himself together, a

said:

At the street corner he halted, un-

that the blade and the torch were JUS
tifiable. He had gone from place to
place all day and he had always heard
the same reply. But 1t was not only
the experience of day that ranked
in his breast. 1t was the experience
Of that day repeated over and over.
The fever from which he had but late
ly recovered had been responsible for
the loss of his position. He had
worked up to that place through years
of steady, patient efforts. Now
wherever he applied they gave him to
understand that he would have to go
back to the bottom and begin all over
again.
Bitterly he thought Of the old adage:
There's always room at the top.
He was standing beside a big iron
| gatepost at the end of a driveway
which wound among elms and naples
up to a mansion that could be partly
seen through the trees. 1t was too cold
to snow. Only an occasional tattered
fake was whirled along by the wind.
Occasionally a carriage passed up
the drive toward the big house in
which the first lights were beginning
to flicker. In one of these carriages
Forbes caught glimpse of man with
an armful of flowers. Other carriages
passed out. Presently a wagon load
ed with folding chairs was driven
through the gate and up toward the
huge pile that loomed among the leaf
less trees.
Forbes drew heavy high and shiv-
cred in the cold. He started on, fear
ing that he might be suspected of va
grancy or something worse If he were
found lettering at the gate, but after
he had gone half square he turned
and went back and stood beside the
tall iron post again.

thought, "and what's my reward? Aft

JAIL PHYSICIAN SAYS
THAW is SANE MAN

(By Federal Wireless Telegraph
SHERBROOKE, Quebec, August %.
Especial to The Advertiser)-' Harry
Thaw is perfectly sane.
This was the dictum today of DR..
Jos. Noel, jail physician, after an ex-
haustive examination of the slayer of
Stanford White, in his cell for forty
five minutes. Doctor Noel put Thaw
through all sorts of tests.
His verdict is expected to be vitality
important in Thaw' g fight for freedom.
Doctor Noel said he had prepared re-
port to send to the immigration author
tiles. "Harry Thaw," he said, sis as
sane as you or /. have watched him
carefully since his arrival. Today I
discussed the ease with him. He knows
more about it than his lawyers do.
There was not an intricate point that
he did not cover. lie has a wonderful
analytical mind. There was not a sec
ond but what he knew what he was dis
cussing.'
Thaw's lawyers are delighted over
Doctor Noels report and believe they
will be able to convince the Canadian
authorities that New York State has
misused Thaw. They viii appeal to
the British sense Of fair play and be-
lieve this will result in Thaw's libcr-
alton without deportation.

Witness Now Says That He Took
a Fee While Posing as
y Attorney General.

1t is not generally known, but it is
true, all the same, that "Banana
Jack" Kalakiela was for few min.
utes, not many months ago, attorney
general of the Territory. At least he
said he was and 50 thought All Sun, a
Chinese claimant who gave testimony
yesterday and Thursday before the ban,
ana court.
He testified that when he went to
N X. Pukui, who made it his business
to work up banana claims, he was told
that for two dollars and half he
would have his claim attended to and
that it would be alright, and that for
two dollars and half in addition he
would have things all fixed up by GO
ing with Pukui direct to the attorney
general.
All Sun further testified that he went
with Pukui to certain place where
man sat in state and this man was
pointed out as the attorney general.
The witness next pointed out "Ban-
mana Jack" Kalakiela as the man who
posed as the attorney general. Kala.
kiela was present in court while this
testimony was given and he grinned
evidently thinking it was good joke
The All Sun claim is now in the
hands of the real attorney general &
department, and Chairman Rawlins of
the banana claims commission states
that searching investigation will be
made of the matter. A purported as
signment is attached to the claim
whereby All Sun is alleged to have as
signed his claim to Pukui for one dol
lar. The Chinaman denies ever having
made an assignment.
There is question about the genuine
ness of the Chinese Characters, said Il
be All Suns signature to the assign
ment and in this regard Mrs. Julia Ka
lakiela, who signed the acknowledgment
as notary public, will be brought int,

that certain signatures were acknowl
edged without the parties ever appear
ing to acknowledge their signatures
