There are at least two men in Texas
who believe there abe worse places than
the p%enitentiary. One was offered a par
don on condition that he would go
home and live with his wife. He tried
the home life a few days and then de-
cided TO 90 back to the pen. Another
refused a pardon on the ground that he
was very comfortably housed and well
fed. He doubted if he would fare 50
well if turned loose. We cannot, of
course, settle the issue between the man
and his wife. il is perfectly consistent
with his conduct to suppose that nei

 Prevent Doubling.

New York, Nov. 1.-The right of company leasing moving picture films to supply films without compe- ition within a specified territory was defended by a member of the so- called motion picture trust today in the governments suits against the Motion Picture Patents Company the General Film Company and others for alleged violation of the sherman law. Frank L. Dyer. president of the Gen eral Film Company, said
 "l It is right that one city or terri tory should be supplied exclusively by one film exchange to prevent the same pictures running at two thea ters at tine same time. There are what We call moving picture fans, who attend two or three shows each night"
 The General Film Company was formed, the witness said, to give bct- ter service to its customers. We never tried he said "to force other Independent film exchanges to sell out 10 the General Film Company.

UPWARD RUSH IN
 STOCK MARKET

New York, Sept. 10-Opening-An outburst of strength and activity in Union Pacific, at the outset of today $ session, lifted price rapidly and inn parted a strong tone to the remainder of the market. Union Pacific opened at a point above yesterdays close and ations elsewhere were irregular with an upward tendency. The spectacle of Union Pacific's rapid rise, following the quick upturn of that stock after publication of the crop report, yester- day, led to further buying of the oth- CT leading issues. Reading, which opened slightly lower, gained a point, Peoples Gas advanced 3-8 and Cana dian Pacific 1 3-4.
 Noon-Unconfirmed reports that Un ion Pacific would distribute a cash bonus to stockholders from the pro- ceeds of the sale of it's Southern Paci- f1c holdings caused an upward rush in that stock which affected the whole market, which was more animated than any session for some time past. Dealings in the first hour increa sed nearly 300 percent over yesterday. Bears who had been raiding the list on the strength of expensive damage to crops from drought were forced to turn about abruptly and cover on a rapidly rising market. Passage of the tariff bill by the Senate and publication of the crop report, late yesterday, re- moved the restraint which had been imposed by these two stock factors. Bonds were firm

HULL RENOUNCES HIS ALLEGIANCE
 TO SOCIALISTS

Bristol. Conn, Sept. 10-George w. Hull widely known in political circles, formerly as a prohibitionist and later 1y as a Socialist and who many times has appeared before legislative com rnittees on various matters, today, re- nounced the Socialist party for once and evermore. His reason, contained in a letter of resignation to the So- cialist local, is that the platform of the party contains a plank which has been adopted by referendum, binding members not to vote in any primary or primary caucus for any other can didate than a Socialist. MT. Hull op- posed this plank because 1t failed to give a voter freedom of choice in pri- maries MT. Hull is a candidate for councilman at the primaries to be held Septemb Der 2S3rd-
 Under the commission form of gov ernment in this city, candidates for nomination on the city ticket have no party designation. This means that Hull would not have Socialist support at the elimina ton primary on the 2rd as he could not stand as a Socialist candidate

WRECK
 SURVIVOR HELD
 AS EMBEzzLER
Charged With Having Defraud- ed His Own Children of
 Death Benefits
Prisoner Is Held In Bail of $7,OOO--M Money Involved Was Settlement For
 Two Sisters.

Alleging that Harry St. George, 36 years old, a resident of Boston, and trusted emp1oye of the Edison Illumi- mating Company, is not only an em- bezzler of large sums, from his own children left motherless in the Fed era1 wreck of July 12, 1911, in this city, but has also travelled for years under the alias of George E. Rogers the local police have brought him from Boston to answer for specula- tions of $2,557.50.
 Immediately dressed, and without apparent fear of the consequences he was arraigned before Judge Wilder 1n the City court today, but upon his re- quest that time be allowed to secure counsel a continuance was granted un- til September IS under bonds of ST. 900.
 St. George was arrested late Monday night at 241 Boston avenue, Dorches- ter, by Detective Sergeant Edward Cronan who has for some time search ed for him. It is also believed that he has a residence at the address, 261 West Newtown street, but little is known of the life he has led in the Hub city other than that he is the most trusted engineer the Edison Company has in that city and great indignation was felt when it was learned he was wanted in this city.
 The specific charge for which St. George is held is that being a duly appointed administrator of the esta te of Gwendolyn F. Rogers, his wife who was killed with one daughter in the Federal Express wreck here, and hav- ing in his possession s2, 557 50 that he purloined and appropriated that sum to his own use thereby defrauding the heirs.
 According to the police Mrs. Rogers with her husband and family were travelling towards Boston at the time of the accident. Rogers represented himself as being army engineer with home in Boston. The New Ha- ven company agreed to settle for the two lives lost and sum was paid over sufficient to give each of the two living children $4,200. Rogers was ap- pointed administrator by the Probate Court of Bridgeport.
 It is alleged that the Aetna En- dowment company of Hartford went upon his bond to insure settlement of the estate and that but $3, ,442. 50 was turned over.

Tells Court After Returning To Bridge port She Was Struck Down On Street Here And Taken
 Back To Jersey
Her Alleged TraduCers Now Under Arrest and Government Agents Prepare To Prosecute
 Them Under White Slave ACl

A strange case of kidnapping and white slavery emanating in Bridgeport and believed to have been perpetrated upon a once well known resident of this city came to light in the Newark Police Court yesterday when Stephen Miede, 25 years old, 932 South Orange avenue, Maria Smith, 26, who gave her home as Bridgeport and Charles A. Domak, also alleged by Police Captain Caffrey, of Newark, to have come from this city were arrested and held upon charges of white slavery.
 The arrests which came as the re- suit of numerous complaints of men and women known only to the Newark police that the girl was being sub jected to the most inl1uman treatment and was actually held in bondage there by Domak, were made after a personal investigation of the reports by Cap tain Caffrey himself. The federal au-

thorfties were notified and are now conducting investigation of the girls story.
 When captured Miss Smith whose right name is intimated to be different, told the police a most pitiful tale. To them she is said to have stated she was born in this city but later fell in- to bad company. She was forced by Domak to leave here and was cornpe1l- ed to live a life of human bondage. Three months ago she asserts she ran away from him and sought shelter here She was traced by Don1ak who in company with other ruffians struck her down upon a dark street and car ried her back to Newark. She has since sought to escape and through her stories the Newark police learned of the case. Her story was partially cor roborated by Miede who will be de- tained as a materj I witness in the trial.

1 the trip Thaw made no attempt to 1 conceal his identity.
 The first stop in New Hampshire was made at West Stewartstown, where Thaw stood in the village square for 70 minutes, talking freely with those who gathered about him. He was very nervous and tried again, Unsuccessfully, to get into touch with his mother and attorneys. After IeaY- ing West StewartstOwn, Thaw stopped at the farm of Mrs Martha Appleton, where he entered the kitchen and ask ed for permission to use the telephone. Again he failed to connect either with Montreal or with Colebrook where court was in session and where he wished to engage a New Ham pshire attorney.
 After leaving Mrs. Appleton's farm, ThaW proceeded about five miles down the road when he was arrested by Sheriff Drew.
 The situation in which Harry Thaw found himself, today, was by far the most extraordinary that marked the progress of his sensational case since he fled from Matteawan Insane Asy- Ium, Aug. IT. Believing, this morning, that he was being kidnapped, he re- sisted forcibIy his removal from Coati- cook only to find that the outcome of his quick dash in an automobile to American territory was to bring him unexpected freedom and place him in the hands of the men who up to the present time had devoted their energies to the reporting of his case. Thaw was dazed at the suddenness of the events of the morning, without his ar ray of legal counsel he did not know where to turn for advice After brief consultation with the newspapermen the automobile hired by the reporters with Thaw in it, went on to Averill-
 It has been learned here that the New York authorities regard Thaw as their ward, this assumption being bas- ed on the fact that he had escaped from a state asylum for the criminal insane. They advanced the claim that they had the same right to dis pose of Thaw as parent has to take into his custody minor child. It is believed here further that the New York authorities did not anticipate any difficulty in New Hampshire Vermont as the case might be, in dis posing of Thaw in this manner. These circumstances, taken together, led to the charge by the Thaw adherents and his counsel that the immigration off, cia1s were party to the plans of New York state.
 The fact that no sooner had the news of Thaw's presence in Vermont been learned in Albany than Acting Cover nor Glynn requested the governors of Vermont and New Hampshire to arrest Thaw and hold him, lends color to the idea that New York expects co-opera- tion from the authorities of these two states.
 Armed with written orders to deport Thaw, issued by c. J. Doherty, acting minister of the interior at Ottawa, E. Blake Robertson, assistant super intendent of immigratiOn came un- hera1ded to Coa ticook, last nightH He told no one of his plans, except sub- ordinates necessary to aid in exc
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-09-10


 When, at o'clock this morning, with no hint of what was to occur, Thaw was taken from his quarters in the C>nadian Pacific railroad station, and placed in an automobile, he could not understand what was taking place.
 Thaw's lawyers knew naught of the move. The prisoner himself had no inkling of it.
 whats up?'' demanded the prisoner.
 But the officers would vouchsafe no information. With brief and stern commands, they ordered their prisoner from the immigration suite downstairs into the car, and Thaw became alarm ed.
 Help! HelpH' yelled the prisoner
 Keep Quiet!'' echoed the officers.
 They're kidnapping me- rejoined Thaw, shouting wildly and gesticulat- ing at the rapidly growing crowd.
 The car thundered away at high speed, and Thaw shrieked vainly for succor.
 .'Is this Canadian justice? Is this fair pIay?" These were among the phrases the bystanders caught as the car was wI1isked away.
 Close after the immigration officers car came another racy looking ma chine, loaded with newspapermen. The race to the border was on. In less than an hour Thaw was on the soil of the United States-exactly at 8:55
 Thaw, in an automobile with some newspa per correspondents, was driv- ing down the road and had reached little rural schoolhouse when an au- tomobile containing the sheriff appear ed in sight. The sheriff, recognizing Thaw, held up his hand for the car to stop. Thaw ordered the chauffeur, a French-Canadian, to bring the au- tomobile to a standstill and then alighted and went into the sherif's car without protest, although the off ger had no warrant for his arrest.
 Thaw and the newspaper correspon- dents then proceeded to Colebrook- Thaw was locked up in jail but was taken to the office of Thomas John son, a local attorney, whom he re- tained as his adviser.
 In the early part of his flight from Norton Mills, ThaW lost his hat and when he reached here he wore a cap borrowed from one of his newspaper compan nions. His only possession was a bunch of cigars. As soon as he arrived here with his prisoner, Sheriff Drew wired Attorney Jerome and re- quested MT. Jerome to come here at once to take charge of Thaw. Later in the day Thaw will be taken to Lan- caster, the county seat and confined in the county jail.
 In the course of his flight, Thaw, at Averill, attempted to get in teIephonic communication with his mother and his lawyers at Montreal but the line was working badly and he was un- successful. He had breakfast at th e village inn and partook of bowl of bread and milk. Re-entering the au- tomobi1e, Thaw and his newspaper acquaintances doubled back into Can ada for short distance and then re- turned to American territory through Canada and Beecher Falls, Vt, cross ing the Connecticut river into New Perepshire at 10 o'clock. Throughout
