tomobiles. running from Times Square.
that on Friday morning he rented his
black Packard car to Richard j.
Butler and that he sent Roger Thomp-
son with 1t as chauffeur. Butler and
Thompson are two OF the five men
for whom warrants are out on the
charge that they carried out the plot
to get Thaw away from the asylum,
and into another State.
Butler Hires Car.
Collins says that Butler told him
on Thursday night that he wanted the
Packard on Friday to take his family

said he would be back Saturday or

1t was whispered In Long Acre
Square tonight that the plans for
ThaM,s liberation, were = fnEmed sew
eral weeks ago. and that the original
intention OF the plotters was to rush
1 him through New Jersey to Pennsyl-
yania. 1t was assumed that the des-
tination was changed because Thaw's
advisers thought he would be safer
from extradition In Canada, and that
| II possible. he ought to take ship
| for Europe.
| Butler, and the others who are
charged with putting scheme into eff
feet, are comparatively small fry In

| man whom they most want to md Is
the middleman. who got his inStruc-
lions direct from Thaw. or his friends.
and hired the automobile daredevtls
to carry them out. But In order to
| fasten the guilt on this man the po-
lice believe they must catch Butler
and perhaps some OF the others. and
compel them to tell who their en-
4 ployer was. There was an unverifed
rumor today that the man who acted
directly for Thaw offered $4,000 for
his escape from Matteawan. that the
automobile band demanded $4,000.
and that they compromised on $4,000.

RUSSIA IS READY
FOR REAL BATTLES,
DECLARES REPORT
Preparations for General War
Are Now Well Advanced,
Say Rumors.

Through diplomatic channels of an
unusually well-informed and reliable
source, information has reached here
concerning the danger Of war in Europe
that is particularly worth attention at
this time, when the Indications point
strongly to renewal of strife in the
Balkan region.
This information is that Russia Is
quietly but steadily preparing fdr war
on a vast scale; that mobilization and
all of the usual activities incidental to
preparation for hostilities are being car
ried on and that expectation Is general
in Russian army and official circles
that war is coming on a great scale in
the spring.
While It Is not specifically stated
that Russia expects to collide with
Austria, there Is no doubt Russian
preparations are directed toward that
antagonist
Marvelously little OF the facts are
getting out of Russia through news
paper channels for obvious reasons. The
Russian government is apparently tax
ing a lesson in secrecy Of preparation
out Of the Japanese and the Bulgarian
notebooks. Pessimism prevails as to
the peaceful termination OF the negotia-
tions between the allies and Turks.

The use Of artificial heat to save

this is the first instance IN his knowl-
edge where artificial refrigeration had
to be resorted to. He declared II to be

Of the crop.

Mass of Evidence Procured BY

Boy Horror.

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. F.-Evidence
enough to I'LL forty typewriter pages
was obtained today from members of
the crew of the British steamer Indra-
kuala by Steamboat Inspectors Tapley
and Bray, who are investigating the
collision between the British ship and
the American steamer Julia Lucken-
bach in Chesapeake bay January 3.
Captain Smith denied, responsibility
for the sinking of the Luckenbach and
declared that the charge that he and
his crew refused to aid the eight men
of the Luckenbach who clurrg to the
rigging of. the sunken ship for six hours
was false. He said the men could not
be seen through the fog that hung over
Chesapeake bay when the. ships came
together. -
He said he lowered lifeboats and six
men of the Luckenbach were picked up.
No others were found and ii was not
known that eight men were clinging to
the rigging of the sunken vessel.

Likely to Take Place Of Baron

bassy in Washington.

Although those in charge Of the Aus
trian embassy in Washington deny hav-
ing received official notice of the ap-
pointment, ii is said by diplomats in
close ouch with the embassy that the
appointment Of Constantin Dumba, who
once refused the ambassadorship OF
stria to the United States, may be
expected at any time. Baron Hensei-
muller Won Hengervar. resigned the
Enthusiastically on December 81 and as
yet there has been no appointment TO
his place.
There was some expectation of Baron
HengelmuHer's withdrawing his resig-
nation until short while ago when all
of the household goods of the ambas-
sador were shipped to Austria, except
the French car belonging to the
baroness, and their collection of crystal
and porcelain, which will be sold IN
this country.
II Is expected that when the new am

fabolous, and his friends in Washing
ton suggest that he might lease the
home of Larz Anderson in Massachu-

with due fitness. 1t Is believed that

MyIius' Only Appeal
Now Rests With Courts

The gates of American liberty have
been changed in the face of Edward F.
Mylius. the English journalist. who
libeled his King, probably to remain
closed forever.
Myiius has a last appeal to the courts,
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Charles Nagel. the last and highest ap-
peal under the executive government
having denied his plea for entrance.
Consequently, unless the courts issue a
stay, Myths will be deported by the
steamship company that brought him
here from Havre.
Secretary Nagel in announcing his
findings declared that he could not just
ly consider the crime of which Mylius
was convicted as purely a political one.
and that consequently he was an un-
desirable alein under the law. having
been convicted Of criminal libel against
the King.
