for a long stay is usually rewarded
by a generous number of invitations
from my man friends. But last week
as / happened to have an engagement

days in the country with Ruth
Ritchey, who is visiting her aunt,
Mrs, Deane.
I was surprised that Ruth did not
meet me at the station, but took
the hotel bus and drove over to the

Ruth was beginning some kind of

shook my hand.
ANY friend OF Ruth's Is welcome
here" she said, gracfously.
Not Overjoyed.
Even after this pleasant greeting
Ruth did not appear overjoyed to see

Thau's Going
ToCanada Was
Trick of Fate
PLANNED FLIGHT WAS TO BE
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT BUT
ELEVENTH HOUR EVENTS
CAUSED A MIX UP.

SHERBROOkE. Aug. 23.-Ii has
been disclosed that Thaw's coming TO
Canada was all u trick of fate and
not at all according to the planned
fight. BY some underground chan
rel, Thaw had been In secret commu-
nication with the leader of the mel
who aided him in his escape for
months. Shortly before the date set
for the dash and before the route to
be followed had been clearly deter
mined, Thaw's channel of communi-
cation was shut off. So the day came,
last Sunday and Thaw, not even sure
that an automobile would be wait
ing, made II blind dash.
Thaw began to quarrel with his
helpers from the start. They had sc.
lectcd n route which he thought was
too far to the north, and he did not
| like that. 1t could not be helped AT
30 late an hour, however. and the
touring car kept on. The ill-fecling
grew. 1t was furthered by the fact
that Thaw did not have the prom
ised cash to hand over Immediately.
Finally, at n point In Vermont. rhaw
washed his hands OF the outfit. left
the touring car and took u train for
Canada. on Il moments inspiration.
Two of the men stuck by him, despite
the quarrel. One Of them is sup
posed to be Educated" Roger
Thompson, there is doubt about the
other.
Thaw has told his attorneys here
that he picked Canada because he
| realized that his photograph had
been spread broadcast throughout
the United States, and that every
sheriff and policeman in the country
was looking for him. He thought his
chances of travelling through Canada
unrccognized were good.

ERLAND SCORE REPUBLICAN
VICTORY BY PROVING LOSS TO
COUNTRY UNDER NEW BILL,

WASHINGTON, D. G.. Aug. ga
Senators Penrose. of Pennsylvania,
and Sutherland, of Utah, scored n
real victory for the Republican party
yesterday when, as result of the
recent speech Of MIR. Pcnrose IN the
Senate followed by the resolution ~?
Senator Sutherland calling upon the
secretary Of the treasury for informal
tion rs to the amount of goods now
stored in bonded warehouses In the
United States. Secretary McAd00 iu-
formed the Senate that there is $l6i,-
57G.937 in foreign made goods await
ing the low tariff duties PROPOSED o,
the Underwood bill.
Secretary McAdoo. in response to
the resolution. estimates that the
government will lose at least $1O,-
900. 600 should the goods now stored
in warehouses be allowed to come IN
under the proposed duties Of the Tn
derwood bill. instead OF being taxed
under the present law. The secra-
tary's report shows that the value of
goods In bonded warehouses August
! ! was 49,, 100000 more than In the
same period of 1912.

Department created CONSERVATION

ate are considering adopting the sug-
geStion of Senators Penrosc and
Sutherland that the rates Of the
Fayne law be imposed OH all goods
Wrought to this country and stored

Of the pending bill. Should such an
amendment be made 1t will save no,
only millions to taxpayers Of the
country, but will vindicate the claims
Of Republican leaders that European
manufacturers are overlooking Amer
