Declares He'll Stay In Call-

las MANY CALLERS IN CELL.
Young Women Present Him With a
Huge Bouquet of Sweet Peas--PrIs-
oner Expresses Regret That
There Are No Sabbath
Services.

Sherhrooke, Que, Sept. Harry X.
Thaw said that he expects to remain
in Canada until October if not longer.
That statement was made despite the
fact that he must appear in conrt
Tuesday on writ of baheas corpus
sworE out by Judge Boudreau, con
stable ut COatito ook, who drew up the
faulty warrant on which Thaw is held.
THAT move on the part of Jerome is
IL joke" Thaw asserted
"William Travers Jerome is wee
hit crafty at times, but he has leaped
before he looked. Canadian law says
habeas corpus proceedings can be in
stitutPd by prisoner. his agents or at
torneys or persons acting in his behalf.
Boudreau is Jerome's agent. not mine.

How long do you expect to remain
IN Jail here?' he was asked
Until October, anyway he replied
Looks For Long Stay.
what do you propose to do at that
time when the grand jury will un-
doubtly quash the faulty warrant on
which you are hed?"
"Never climb Il hill until you come
to it." he answered. adding, 81 may
be in Canada for long time
Although Thaw's attorneys seem
equally as confident as their client,
nevertheless their agents are said to
be most active in Vermont, into which
state Thaw VIII be deported by the
immigration authorities when he is
freed on the faulty charge of being a
fugitive from justice. 70.
Thaw expressed regret again that
there are no religious services in the

the prison offered to send for a clergy
man. but Thaw declined. The prison

Thaw Is a great attraction for the
Sherbrooke exhibition. which is now
open. Almost as many persons go to
the jail as to the exhibition grounds.
Three young women who refused to
give their names called at the Jail and

PRESIDENT IN COUNTRY ROMt
His Stay In "summer White House
Will End Tomorrow.

Windsor. Vt. Sept l.-Refreshed by
his nights rest ut Hdrlakenden house,
President Wilson, accompanied by his
family. attended church yesterday. The
president intends to rest as much as
possible on his stay here. which will
end tomorrow. and in that time will
Try to forget Mexico and other inter
national affairs. Although fatigued by
his journey, the president was gratitied
at the reception given to him by the
residents.
President Wilson was also interested
to notice the boom" caused by his
residence here. as was shown all along
the road to the Summer White
House" where he saw signs announcing
the opening of new inns with city
prices" prevailing.
Mr.. Wilson had intended spending
today on the golf links, but he is urged
so earnestly to attend the annual
picnic of the Windsor board of trade
that he may consent to do so.
The presidents trip to his summer
home was slightly adventurous one.
From New Haven, Conn. to Spring
field, Mass. his private car was at
tached to the rear of an excursion
train. The rear end of his car was
next to the excursion trains official
''barroom," and because Of its con-
gested condition correspondents and
secret service men were ''forced" to
make their headquarters there.
At Springfield it was discovered that
the regular train to which the presi-
dents car was to have been attached
had left, and special engine was OBJ
tained for the remainder of the trip
to Windsor. Miss Jessie Wilson, who
was hurt last week when she was
thrown from her horse, was at the sta
ton to greet her family, as was Miss
Margaret Wilson.

TIDE TURNING TOWARD
D!SCREDlTED DOC" COOK.
German Scientist is Not Inclined TO
Brand Him "Swindler."

Frederick A. Cooks claim TO the dis
covery of the north pole is still of suf-
ficient importance to enlist the consid-
GRAFTON of scientific men in Germany.
One Of these is Professor Otto Baschin,
custodian of the Geographic institute
of the Berlin university, who. in an ar
ticle headed as Cook q SwinderT'
considers the Peary-Cook controversy
at considerable length and concludes
that the evidence for Cooks truthful
ness is very strong
The question of observations based
upon the suns altitude as a method Of
determining whether one has reached
the pole is summarily dismissed by
Professor Baschin as quite unreliable.
The insufficiency of such observations,
he says, was set forth, soon after the
PearyCook dispute arose by DR.. A.
Wedemeyer of the German imperial
marine department, an experienced as
tronomer and navigator, who declared
that the explorers diaries, so far as
observations Of the suns altitude was
concerned, could have no probative
value
Oher authorities have since confirm
cd this declaration, says Professor
Baschin. and, this being 80, the ques-
tion as to who had reached the pole
became primarily one Of creduiity, In
which Peary, with years of successful
and honorable exploration to his &C.
count, naturally came OFF the better.
Professor Baschin continues: "One
must separate this question (whether
Cook reached the pole) from the sec
ond, whether Cook, even If he cannot
prove his presence at the pole, did not
attain far toward the pole and tread
hitherto unknown portions of that
part of the arctic regions. These re
suits of his expedition are not affected
by the strife over the pole and deserve
at least consideration, whereas they
are fully ignored by the Peary adher'
ents. Little by little, however. the
! nuRber Of those who believe that Cook
reached the pole is growing"

DIED ON FOURTH ATTEMPT.
<nife and Water Failing, Ferario Lay
Down Before a Train.

Morristown, N. j., Sept. 1-After
making three attempts to end his life,
Antonio Ferario, thirty-one years old,
laid down on the Lackawanna railroad
tracks near the Water street bridge
and was cut to pieces by the theater
train passing through here
Ferario went into cobbler's shop
near his home at 67 Morris street and,
picking up an awl, jabbed it into his
left wrist several times before it was
taken away from him. He then ran
off toward the Whippany river, and
about an hour later a watchman at
one of the plants near the Water street
bridge saw him leap off the bridge into
the water. Ferario was 1shed out and
friend started home with him. AS
the two were crossing the Centre
street bridge Ferario again leaped into
the river. 1t was about daylight that
his mutilated body was found on the
railroad tracks.

GUM OOZING FROM TREES.

The following question, in regard
to gum oozing from trees, was re-
ferred to Prof. H. A. Surface, State
Zoologist, Harrisburg: " have cher
ry trees that have punches of gum.
Can you give me remedy to rid the
trees of the trouble?"
Answer: The gum oozing from the
bark of your trees may be from one
of three or four causes. 1t may be
CD Mechanical injury, in which
case the best thing to do is to clean
away the gum and paint the wound
with melted grating wax or bees
wax, or even common house paint,
and let Nature take care of it.
CD A fungus disease sometimes
called "gummosus," in which case
severe pruning back of trees, culti-
tivation, fertilization of soil and wa
tering are about all that can be done,
as the purpose should be to stimulate
growth. This can not be reached by
spraying, as it is beneath the bark.
CD Bark borers or shot.hole bor-
ers. These are the larvae of very
minute beetles that make tunnels
beneath the bark and are also called
"Engraver Beetles" When they ma
ture they bore through the bark and
leave holes about the size of those
made by gun shot, or about the size
of a pins head. This is why they
are called "Shot-hole Borers." They
attack only trees that are declining.
There is no way of reaching them in
the sense of remedy, but the best
thing to do is to prune back the
trees, cultivate the soil, and water
abundantly and frequently with wa
! ter containing teaspoonful of nj
trate of soda in each gallon Of water.
This is to stimulate growth, and Of
| ten is successful.
(4) The fourth cause of gum is a
larger kind of borer, such as is to be
seen in peach and plum trees fire.
quently. This can be killed by in
serting a soft wire with sharp
point, or by cutting out with a sharp
knife, Sitting lengthwise rather than
crosswise in the bark; or using the
best possible remedy for borers,
which consist of liquid called car
bon bisulfide, or bisulfide of carbon
put into a spring bottom oil can and
injected into the holes with mud OF
clay, and the pests will be killed at
once and the tree not injured as il
might be by cutting. This remedy
is recommended for all borers.

i VII II LILO COlh SlOh lohh

EN1 Wayne county, the ma
ls&SEE5I jority of farmers are think
ing about silos, ensilage
and ensilage cutters. And that line
of thought leads right up to where
the Erik Brothers hardware store
have their innings.
Erik Brothers are more than deal
ers in hardware, for they are practi-
cal farmers. Consequently they
know the needs of farmers, and they
represent and sell the best machin-
cry and farm appliances that are
manufactured. For instance, take
Silage Cutters: They sell the famous
"Ohio' Cutters, and can give good
and valid reason for every claim
made as to their superiority. Here
are some reasons why the ohio |
Cutters are the very best:
DependabiIity.- "Ohio" will
fill your silo at the rate Of ton in
two minutes, the corn being cut in
half-inch lengths, and will keep the
pace and maintain the strain hour
after hour and day after day.
Bulldog Grip.-The "Ohio" is so
built that material to be cut cannot
wind around the lower roll and clog
or break the machine. When once
started the material has to go
through.
Durability.-The "Ohio'' people
have been building machines for
nearly 60 years. They have found
all the weak places, and the weak
places have all been eliminated.
Castings.-"Ohio" castings are all
heavy and of high-silicon iron.
Foundation Extra heavy of
thoroughly seasoned hard maple,
mortised, tenoned, double-pinned and
well braced with iron rod and nut
reinforcement through front.
Safety.-The tragedies that occur
at silo filling time are cut out If you
use the "Ohio." They are so eternally
rigid that no lives or limbs are ever
risked.
Phone or write Erik Brothers to
send you a little pamphlet, '.Siio
Filler Logic" 1t is free, and they
will gladly mail it to you. What is
better yet, call at their store and let
them explain a lot of things about
silos, ensilage and silo-hlling ma
chinery that every farmer ought TO
