Harry K Thaw has not left the coun-
try he will be arrested on a warrant
charging him with conspiracy and re-
turned to the Matteawan state hospital
for the criminal insane. Action with
this end in view was taken In a special
term Of the supreme court here this

Michael O'Keefe. Eugene Duffy and
Thomas Flood as Thaw's accomplices.
Keeper Barnum, the guard who opened
the hospital gate when Thaw escaped,
has been held without bail for exam

Justice Morschauser issued the war
rants for Thaw and his accomplices
after taking the evidence of several
witnesses this afternoon. District At

SUPREME JUDGES
HEAR ARGUMENTS
IN ELECTION CASE
Two or Four Year Term Con
troversy Will Be Decided
in the Near Future
by Court

After spending the day listening to
arguments for and against the four
year term OF office for members of the
San Francisco city and county govern
ment, the supreme court took the test
proceeding under advisement and will
determine the point later.
The general trend of the comments
led many interested spectators to be-
lieve the court will hold in favor Of
the four year term.
The question arose from the fact
that two propositions were passed by
the voters at the election In the fall Of
1909, having to do with election mat
ters, one holding for direct election
and a term of two years. and another
general provision, framed by the board
of supervisors, fixing the term of office
at four years.
WRIT OF MANDATE ASKED
Dr. BENJAMIN Apple filed application
for a writ of mandate to compel Harry
Zemansky, registrar, to accept his NOM
ination petition for the office of county
coroner. Zemansky refused, holding
George B. Keane represented Apple
in the arguments. Thomas " Gator.
president of the election commission.
and John f. English of the city attor-
ney's office, represented the city.
Percy Long, city attorney, was present.
Keane contended the alternative
measure should have been presented to
the voters In such form they would
have recognized it as such, and argued
further that the proposition passed at
the same election, giving precedence
to one having the larger number Of
votes when two propositions voted for
are on like subject held in this
case, because the direct election, two
year term plan received the larger
number Of votes.
CONTENTION OF DEFENSE
The argument of English, on the
contrary is that the direct election
proposition merely was a republication,
and the repetition of the standing two
year clause was not an amendment. or
a re-enactment but merely presented
to complete the nonpartisan idea.
The contention of English, in other
words, is that the three propositions
under dispute were correlated, and the
cause Of all this tangle is the fact that
the latter of the standing law on
terms of office was repeated as a mat
ter of republication to give weight to
the nonpartisan idea of the election.
Because Of the fact that the spe-
cial proceeding before the supreme
court was not launched before the
opening of the 20 day period in which
to file statements of candidacy, the in
terested parties expect a decision with
ing a week.

For many years the State of Califor-
MIA had carried passengers between
Puget sound and San Francisco.
The wrecked vessel was commanded
by Captain Thomas H. Cam Jr., who
had command of the steamship Valencia
on her last trip from Seattle to San

another command when the Valencia
reached that port, thus barely missing

three men are standing by the wreck.
The ship is sunk in deep water and
there is no hope of salvage.

Dangerous Piece of Water

Douglas.
Dangerous Piece of Water
SEATTLE. Aug 1s.-Gambier bay is
accounted by mariners one OF the most
dangerous pieces of water in Alaska
Last year the Admiralty Trading
company built a cannery on the bay
and made contract with the Pacific
Coast Steamship company, by which
the latter was to handle Its business.
The bay had not been navigated by
large vessels until last year, and it is
said 1t has never been officially sur
veyed A reef must be skirted for a
long distance and big boats have very
little room in which to turn.
The State OF California went to her
doom a few minutes after leaving the
cannery.
The records in the. offices of the
Pacific Coast Steamship company con-
tain the addresses of some of the pas
sengers listed among the dead and

Time to Spray
Your Peaches

1t is to be hoped that all peach
growers are taking advantage of this
ideal spraying weather to give their
peach trees a good drenching with
Bordeaux mixture. The next cold
spell will send the spores of the fun
gus into the dormant condition, af-
ter which it will be of little use to
spray. So important is this fall
spray, in view of the rapid increase
in the prevalence of fungus diseases
in the last few years, that it is not
too much to say that the future of
Ashland's reputation for fine peaches
depends on it, for no other spray
does the work so effectively. The
official instructions are to run the
solutions of bluestone and lime to-
gether into a third vessel, but a sim
pier and quite as effective way is to
add the bluetsone0 solution slowly to
the well-diluted solution of lime with
constant stirring. To add the lime
to the bluestone spoils the mixture.
