ton was answered in the negative.


New York, Sept 19.-Inquiries are be-
ing made through official sources
throughout the country by counsel for
Harry X. Thaw, it was learned, tonight
to find if a precedent anywhere exists
for the action of the New York state
authorities in asking the extradition from
New Hampshire of Thaw, an insane
man, on charge of crime.
Moses II. Grossman of the Thaw coun-
sci, who has the inquiry in charge. de-
clared that it had been his contention
all along that Thaw could not be extra
dited on a criminal charge and that his
inquiry which was nearly completed had
more than ever convinced him that law
and precedent were all against such ex-
tradition.
Never so far as / can find" said Mr.
Crossman, has there been an extradi-
ton of an insane man on charge of
crime. AS a fact there has never been
for the Thaw case an application for
extradition in such circumstances. All
authorities l have been able to reach

PERTINENT QUESTIONS
To the New Haven Road, Which Asks
$67,0o0,ooo Bond Issue.

Boston, Sept 19.-New York. New
Haven &. Hartford Railroad officials
We're again asked at the hearing, to-
day, before the Massachusetts Pub
lie Service Commission, why, if the
road needs the issue of $4,000. 900
bonds, which it has petitioned for, IL
does not divest itself of some of its
steamship holdings and use the pro-
eeeds instead of further increasing rs
funded debt.
1t was shown that the Navigation
Co. holds bonds of the Eastern Steam
ship Co. to the amount of $2,473, 800
and s3,250,000 of bonds of the Mer
chants and Miners Transportation
Co. The New York, New Haven and
Hartford itself, it was stated, holds
preferred stock of the Eastern Steam
ship Co. valued at Slice, 500, and com
mon stock of 100000 together with
Merchant and Miners stocks TO the
amount of $2542,500. Attorney Brown
showed other holdings in leased road
which brought the New Ravens APP
parent stock holdings in it's sub
salaries to $30,134.5S5. If pressed for
funds, counsel Brown said, the New
Haven could probably realize this
amount toward its needs. He asked
again why should this not be done"
Attorney Browns questions durin.s
the afternoon developed several Tits
between himself and Charles T.
Choate, counsel for the New Haven,
and with Commissioner White. Just
prior TO the adjournment of the
hearing until next Wednesday, Com
missioner Anderson ASKED counsel
Brown to prepare for the board
statement of what securities of the
New Ravens subsidiary companies the
road could best dispose of and 81
What approximate price. This infor-
nation, Mr.. Anderson said, should in
clude the earnings. if any on such
stock since its acquisition by the New
Haven, it's original cost and the APP
proximate present selling price.
