New York,-Harry Kendall Thaw,
slayer of Stanford White, escaped
from the Matteawan State Hos
pital for the Criminal Insane.
Within an hour after his dash
for liberty he had crossed the line di-
Viding the states of New York and
Connecticut, and he is beyond the
reach of New York authorities. 1t is
believed that eXtradition is impossible
and that Thaw's freedom is assured
unless he is held for insanity in an
other state and committed to some
asylum there.
ThaW's escape was one of the most
dramatic affairs of the kind ever re-
corded. After darting past a gateman,
who was admitting a milkman to the
Matteawan asylum grounds, he leaped
into a taXicab standing just outside
the wall This was headed for the
Connecticut state line and the mo-
ment that Thaw entered the chauffeur
put on full speed and dashed away
Before a half mile had been covered
by the taXiCab it overlook six
cylinder touring car that had been
moving slowly, also toward the Con-
necticut line, The taxicab slackened
speed, and Thaw leaped out as the
smaller machine drew alongside the
touring car.
The door OF the latter was open and
Thaw leaped aboard. AS the door
slammed the auto speeded away at a
rate of at least so miles an hour. The
machine dashed through Stormvlle, N.
Y, IA miles from the asylum, without
any diminution of speed, and accord
ing to late reports received by the
asylum authorities, crossed the Con
necticut line in the vicinity OF New
Canaan, CT.
DR.. Raymond Charles Francis Kieb,
superintendent of Matteawan, believes
that Thaw's escape was the result of
a carefully planned and well-executed
conspiracy with inside assistance.
He received information few hours
after Thaw's escape that led him to
believe that the fugitive had been car
ried to a Connecticut seaport town,
where a yacht had been waiting off
shore to take him aboard.
The superintendent ordered the ar.
rest of Howard Barnum, the asylum

ABOUT THE MOON


same time that it takes it to spin once on it's axis
n days, hours, 43 minutes and 111a seconds. AS
the earth turns the same way there is always just
one side of the moon turned toward us.
The moon gets it's light from the sum- In other
words, it simply throws a reflection of the suns
light But few persons aware, however, that it
also reflects light from the earth. There are certain
times when it does, however.
You see, the entire surface of the moon is not al
ways where the suns light will be reflected to the
EARTH This is what gives it the different shapes we
see. Suppose, for instance, observe the moon in
what we call the "new moon" shape. The sun, then,
is just shining on edge of the great moon ball
But If we look carefully see rather dark shape
that continues the spherical outline of the whole
moon. This is sometimes called the "old moon in
the arms of the new moon"
But that darker reflection, scientists declare is
really the reflection of the earhs light on the moon
Or rather reflection of the suns light reflected
FROM THE EARTH. This is of course, not so
bright as the direct reflection of the the
itself. But neither wrong in saying that the
moon is then stealing light from the earth

WOMEN To PAY
EXPENSE OF
VISIT

The Presidents Council of
Women discussed the coming of
Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane
Tuesday and considered means for
financing her trip here. It was
suggested an assessment of IS be
made on each club. This would
raise 1920.
Mrs. o. G. Ellis is the prime
mover in getting Mrs. Crane here
and she dwelt at length on the
capabilities of the visitor before
the women. 1t will cost $500 to
get Mrs. Crane in the state for
two weeks and the women think
they can raise it without trouble.
The city commission has agreed
to pay SIS but the controller re-
fuses to draw the warrant and
says it will never be paid until
the courts compel him to do SO.
