OPERATION MAY
 SAVE LIFE OF
 HAvILAND BOY
SIimy Condition Of Pavement Responsible For Boys
 Injury

The accident which may cost the life of Thomas Haviland. 10 years old, son of Superior Court Clerk W. T. Haviland, 36 BrookIawn avenue, who was yesterday in collision with an au- tomobile owned and driven by Albert W. Langenegger, 83 Vine. street, is to- day blamed to the condition of the roadway under the Fairfield avenue viaduct.
 At a late hour the condition of ye,-9e Haviland in St. Vincent's Hospital where he was operated upon by Chas. H. Peck, one of the most eminent New York physicians, who was hurried here by automobile, is said to be the same as during the night. It is the belief Of those attending him that his only chance for rlife is his constitutional vii tality. He is still unconscious, though one of the most delicate operations has been performed in an effort to lift the broken bone from the brain.
 The father has been in constant at tendance at the bedside and will re- main until the crisis is passed When seen by a, reporter for the Farmer to- day, he said in his belief the accident was one that could not be avoided. As far as can be ascertained by both the police and the father, the automobile of LangeneggeS was being driven with the utmost care.
 There is but narrow strip Of road way left upon the left Side-hardly room for an auto and bicycle to pass. Thomas Haviland was the last of a party of four riding towards the city and his wheel was suddenly observed to swerve and his head struck the car upon the sharp point of a mudguard which forced the left eye from the socket and depressed the skull just over the eyebrow. The car did not proceed eight feet and the boy fell to one side unconscious: Officers who have gone over the spot, find that there is l about six inches Of s1imy mud, due to constant sprinkling under the railroad bridge. As the sun rarely strikes be- low, this slirny condition remains. It is believed that in proceeding slowly the bicycle wheel swerved with it's prob ably fatal result.
 Several other automobile accidents yesterday have been reported, at head quarters Dr. Allen Bradley, 1o7 Full ton street, struck Q small child at Rarnum avenue which was knocked beneath his car As soon as extricated the child ran away apparently unin- jured pr. Bradley at once reported the occurrence.
 Another snash-up is recorded at Beards1ey Park entrance where a large touring car whose ownership is as yet
 unknown struck a telegraph pole an6 was partially demolished. It is re- ported. none were hurt

 News of the appointment of Father Callahan was confirmed today at the Episcopal residence in Hartford.

Father Francis A. Jordan as rec tor of the church at Washington.

John F. Rog- CTS, pastor of St. Mary's church, this city. The late Rev. Father w. H.

New York state interests by Samuel Jacobs, a leading lawyer of Montreal. Jerome's greatest value will be when the matter of Thaw's extradition comes up in Vermont, should he be de- ported there by the immigration au- thoFities. He would also be of great help in an advisory capacity if the insanity question were taken up.
 There was a comment on the fact, today, that the procedure cf first bring ing 'Thaw into court as at present out lined by writ of habeas corpus was also the basis of many hearings in the state of New York. Iii these Jerome was especially reckoneo by the state.
 Thaw had a fairly restfuI night. He was fortunate as are all those who rushed here after his detention, tn having cool, clear, invigoratiug weath- CT. He has taken little exercise how ever, unless the nervous pacing of his cell can be called exercise, and his personal appearance is far from that of the neat, youngoId man he looked to be at the New York court hearings. just before dawn, that the oft-taIked of jail delivery had at last been car ried out and that Thaw was again speeding away in the night in an automobile. It was the outgrowth of the noise made by a powerful car of a local physician who happened to be rushing through the streets with the muffler of his machine wide open not far from the jail
 After the conference of yesterday, most of Thaw's lawyers said they would not be around early today, but would try to get a little needed rest. His chief counsel, J. F. Greenshields, spent the week end at his home in Montreal and returns today.

FRANCE GIVES STRONG
 SUPPORT TO U. s. POLICY

Paris, Aug. 25@TheS French foreign office cabled instructions to the French minister in Mexico, last Fri day, to support strongly the policy of the United States toward Mexico by making friendly representations to Provisional President Huerta.
 The French government declares it. self convinced by it's advices from Washington of the sincerity of the pacific intentions of the United States government toward the Mexican peo- pie.
 The indications are that President Poincare will not receive Francisco De La Barra, who was recently appointed Mexican minister to France and who arrived in Paris, Saturday night. It is pointed out that although France recognized Victoriano Huerta as pro- visional president, the French foreign office does not feel itself bound to re- ceive his envoy. The question, how ever, has not been definitely settled as there is no immediate necessity for doing so- Senor De La Barra, it is understood, intends to go to Rome be fore presenting his letters of credit to France.

JEROME TRAVELS OVER
 ROUTE TAKEN BY THAW

Co1ebrook, N. H., Aug. 25-wilf1am Travers Jerome, former District At torney of New York, who has been appointed by the New York state au- thorities as special deputy attorney general in connection with the at tempt to deport Harry K. Thaw frone Canada, arrived here, today, on his way to Sherbrooke. MT. Jerome was accompanied by John Langdon and was driving his own automo bile, and followed so far as possible the route taken by Thaw on his flight from Mat teawan.
 After stopping at Co1ebrook for a short time, MT. Jerome departed for Beecher Falls, Vt, a railway station about a quarter of mile from the Canadian boundary where Thaw left the train and hired a carriage to drive him across the line. last Tuesday.
 ''I have no doubt' said MT. Jerome, that Thaw will be returned to New York and again confined in Mattea- wan. I am confident of the outcome of this case. I believe ThaW will be deported from Canada and there will be no trouble about getting him into New York state.'
 When MT. Jerome left, here, he ex- pected to reach sherbrooke, where Thaw is held in the local jail, some time during the day.
 Although MT. Jerome did not explain his reason for following the route of Thaw's flight through New England, It is thought here that he may nave conferred enroute with Vermont legal authorities concerning the status of the case in the event that Thaw should be deported from Quebec to Vermont. Attorney General Brown, of Vermont, spent the weekend at his home in Burlin gton but some of his assistants are understood to have remained at the attorney generals office at Mont pelier. No light was shed by MT. Jerome on. this phase of the case.
