,bie Is His Reason for Remaining as Vera Cruz, State Department Learns-300 Americans on Way
 to Depart From Country.

Washington, Sept, 1.-Another deadlock in the Mexican situation now impends. A lull in the negotiations was caused by jockeying on both the Mexican and American sides as to who should make the first overtures toward reopening the diplomatic ex- changes.
 State department dispatches have cleared up the reason for Special En- yoy Linds action in remaining at Vera Cruz. Lind is refusing to return to Mexico City except at the request of the Huerta officials. Lind's mes sage to President Wilson, stating that he intended to leave for the capital, was upon the belief that his action had been requested by the Mexican minister of foreign affairs. Gamboa. When he learned that the American charge, O'Shaughnessy, and not Gam boa, had suggested his return to the Mexican capital, he declined to leave Vera Cruz.
 United States Insists Mexico Move.
 The administration is steadfast in the position that Mexico and not this government must pave the way for reopening of the negotiations with Lind It has not been definitely de- cided, however, whether Lind will re- ply to the last Gamboa note.
 With President Wilson absent at his summer home, Secretary Tumulty and Secretary of State Bryan are 'in the saddle to handle developments in Mexico.
 It was stated at the White House that President Wilson holds himself ready to return here at moments

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS IS OB. TANNED BY CANADIAN LAWYER
 FOR NEW YORK STATE.
FLAWS LAWYER LOSES RACE
Arrives at Sherbrooke From Montreal After Writ Is Granted-Jerome
 Hopes to Have Thaw Deported
 to Vermont in Few Days.

Sherbrooke, Quebec, Sept liar ry K. Thaw will be produced in court here again on Tuesday morning, on a writ of habeas corpus obtained in be- half of Chief of Police Boudreau of Coaticook, who arrested him after his flight from Matteawan.
 Superior Judge Hutchinson granted the writ on the application of Samuel Jacobs, chief counsel for the New York state interests.
 It was an eleventh-hour move taken to defeat 'Thaw's lawyers, who have succeeded in keeping him in jail safe from the immigration authorities.
 Those of the Thaw lawyers who were in town, Charles D. White and Harry Faser, bitterly opposed the ap plication, but Judge Hutchinson said he would thresh the matter out in open court at 10 a. m. Tuesday.
 Thaw was ignorant of the develop ments. His lawyers even did not learn of it until a report of the con- templated move was telegraphed back from Montreal.
 His chief lawyer, R. N. Green shields, immediately chartered a spe- cial train at Montreal in the hope of checking the proceedings The writ had been issued, however, before his arrival.
 Jerome Is JubiIant.
 Boudreau asked fo, the writ on the ground that, as the original captor. of Thaw, he might be liable to damages should Thaw's arrest prove illegal.
 William Travers Jerome was jubi- lant. He hopes that the writ will be sustained and that on Tuesday Thaw will be in the hands of the department of immigration for deportation to Yer mont.
 Jerome commander-in-ch of the New York forces here, and Samuel Jacobs, the Montreal attorney, repre- senting the state, were authors of the coup.
 It was Jacobs who was ruled out of court by Superior Judge Colbensky and it was Jacobs, who, on returning to Montreal, was informed by tele- graph of Judge Hutchinson's return. He jumped from the train at Magog, a small station near Sherbrooke, and, returning here by automobile, laid his plan before Jerome and Deputy Attor. ney-General Franklin Kennedy

Nearly everybody is obliged more or

REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Coenomen That Has Now Be-
come Universal.

On the Mississippi river in olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea of naming his steam
boats cabins instead of numbering
them. So he named them in honor Of
the states of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title of some
state, the big central cabin being call
ed the Texas" after the largest state.
Other boat owners took up the idea.
and thus the word cabin was grad
ually alternated by state" room. For
years the best cabin was still known
as the Texas. Then that sobriquet died
with the ebbing glory of the old river
steamers. But the word "stateroom"
became incorporated into our Ian
guage, and in time even broke into the
dictionary, as does many another
catch phrase. Not one person in thou
sand who occupies a stateroom knows
the term once meant "a room named
for a state"

place, when the new bell boy rushed
in with his hair on end.

demanded to know the trouble.

the boy, has just had kittens. What

Peruna is a remedy that should be kept

to disease is the thing | wish chiefly to
emphasize.
\ slight condition of constipation may
lead to serious sluggishness of the bowels,
bilousness, rc-ahsorprion of poisonous ma
terial and finally sickness. Or apathy of
the stomach in which the food is not rel
ished. may gradually lead TO atomic dyspep-
sia or to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one of these conditions
a few doses of the tonic laxative Peruna
would set matters right. THIS is why the
remedy should always be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as a
household remedy Is understood no home
would be withcnt it. Cathartics, pills and
powders would he discarded. Irritating
tonics would be no longer taken. Alco-
holic drinks would have no place. With a
few doses of Peruna vigorous appetite Is
produced and if there be any sluggishness
Of the bowels their function is gradually
res ored.
Most laxatives are weakening in their
effect. A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
