MRS. THAW JOINS SON
| ON EVE OF HIS HEARING
Goes to Concord ito Give Harry
the Support Of His Mothers
Presence"
LAWYERS TO FIGHT DELAY
Jerome Handicapped by the
Failure of Duchess County
Grand Jury to Return
Indictment.

Concord. y. H., Sept 22.-On the eve OF
the proceedings which are expected 10 de-
eide whether or not Harry X. Thaw shall
be returned 10 the insane asylum at Mat
teawen. y. Y, he was Joined here to-
night by his mother. Mrs Mary Copley
'rhaw, and By his brother Joseph.
IL have come TO give Harry the support
OF his mothers presence in his fight TO
keen away from the madhouse," Mrs.
Thaw said.
II was the second attempt Of the fugi-
tive slayer's mother to meet him since his
escape from Mattsawan a month ago
Although in feeble health, she had made
the long trip from her home at Cresson,
Penn, to Montreal several days ago In
tn. expectation that Harry would be
brought into court there.
Harry greeted his mother and his
brother affectionately just outside his
rooms and then the party retired TO the
apartments which had been reserved for
Mrs. Thaw. There they spent much Of
the evening, while downstairs the large
staff OF Thaw attorneys went over their
plan OF campaign.
Tomorrow proceedings are based on
the request OF the State OF New YORK for
the extradition of Thaw on a charge OF
conspiracy in connection with his escape
from Matteawan.
The only point that was definitely es-
tablished tonight about the hearing
which Will be before Governor Samuel ID
Felker. is that II will be held in the
chamber of the Senate at the State House,
beginning at II o'clock tomorrow morn
Ing.
After the extradition warrant has been
read by the Governor st will devolve on
the representative of the State OF New
York. probably William Travers Jerome,
to set forth his case. Mr.. Jerome was
not In town tonight and nothing could
be learned as 10 his plans. The reported
failure OF the Duchess County On. "
Grand Jury to return an Indictment
against Thaw has greatly Handicapped
Jerome, in the opinion of close followers
of the case.
Any attempt 10 postpone the hearing
will be vigorously opposed by the Thaw
lawyers. one OF their number said to-
night
Previously" he said counsel for Mr..
Thaw have been fighting for delay. Ihat
time is now past. We are moving for
ward toward Thaw's freedom. and we
shall ask the Governor 10 decide the mat
ter without delay
Governor Felker saw the fugitive to-
day for the first time. At noon and
again this evening their glances crossed
as they looked about the hotel dining
room. Each manifested interest In the
appearance OF the other. but there was
no introduction.
Governor Felker examined the extradi-
ton warrant from new York for the hrst
time to-day. great mass OF kilograms
and letters bearing on the case Also
awaited his attention. but he went
through only a small portion which MS
secretary had laid out for him.
After consultation with his mother ana
brother. Thaw gave out statement In
which he denied a report that he was 10

HUNTINGDON, Tenn, Nov. 25.-
Steps are being taken in this county
for the enforcement of the compulso-

rell, Of McLemoresville, who was

ing OF the county board of education
Saturday, entered upon the duties of
his Office today, with headquarters at

The passage of this law has great

school district, where the attendance
had heretofore been very small, had
such a large attendance at the sum-
mer term that school had to be held
under brush harbor, until the school
building, which was small, could
have an addition built to it.

HARD TIMES
BE UPON US

FROM $11,3s IN 1911 TO

metal within the limits of the state
decreased just $3,343 in 1912, compar-
ed to the 1911 figures, according to
statistics given out. Monday by Geo.
e. Sylvester, head of the state depart
ment of mines.
We don't produce much gold but
we are awfully proud of what we do
produce, and when the production
production jumps from $11,339 in 1911
away down to 1896 in 1912 we be-
come alarmed. Only 400 fine ounces
were mined in 1912, while SGT were
extracted the previous year.
1t is explained that the reason for
the decline is that gold is mined in
Tennessee as byproduct Of copper,
1t being metal closely allied with
and usually mined with copper as a
side line where it is found only in
small quantities, and as copper also
took a sharp tumble, gold went with
1t.

copper, silver and sulphuric acid have
also just been completed, and follow
