'THAW DESCRIBES
HIS WILD FLIGHT
INTO CANADA

back as they seem to be, then ! doubt
very much if they would pay any at
tention to any writ OF prohibition we
might obtain.
"The immigration act expressly pro-
vides that no court may interfere with
the findings of the board of inquiry and
| am afraid that the immigration Off
cials will act before we have found a
way to circumyent them"
Thaw, when he was told that the in
quiry was to be held in secret, wrote
out this question and sent it down to
the reporters:
"Is it true that English law allows
a secret trial, with the public excluded
when a mans life or liberty is at stake,
like in Turkey or Bulgaria n
Judge Hutchinson's Opinion.
Thaw's lawyers contend that Judge
Hutchinson has completely upset the
heretofore accepted intent of the writ of
habeas corpus in sustaining a petition
made by one really antagonistie to the
prisoner and without the prisoners con-
sent.
In sustaining the writ Judge Hutchin-
son pointed out and cited precedents
where the petitioner for writ of habeas
corpus had acted without authority.
without the consent and even without
the knowledge of the person or persons
imprisoned. This, he contended, support
ed the position of Boudreau, Here he
cited precedents at length, then reviewed
the desires Of the attorney general, Sir
Lomer Gouin, as expressed at the hear
ing yesterday by the attorney generals
representative, Anne Geoffrion.
The attorney general of this prov
incep he continued, "by his representa-
tive has stated that it is the desire
of the attorney general that this case
shall be disposed of as speedily as pos
sible, and that if the prisoner is le
gally imprisoned he be returned to await
his trial, but if he is under wrongful
restraint he should be liberated at once
and that the desire of the prisoner to
remain in the jail to avoid proceedings
that may be taken against him under
a federal statute by the Dominion gov
ernment must not be considered. and
that the jail of this district is not to be
used ais house of refuge for such pur-
pose.
There is no doubt that consider
able difficulty has been met with in de-
termining the rights of parties in this
case, but in doubtful cases the court
always inclines in favor of liberty. In
cases it has been held that "it
is the duty Of Judge hearing an APP
plication for discharge under writ of
habeas corpus when prisoner is re-
strained of his liberty under statute, |
to discharge him unless satisfied by
words in the statute that
the imprisonment is warranted by sta
tute.
"The court doth, therefore, grant the |
said petition. maintain the said writ Of
habeas corpus and deciare that the jail |
ar has no authority 20 detain the said |
Harry Thaw in the said common jail OF |
this district and whether the said Harry |
K Thaw wishes to exercise and enjoy |
bis personal liberty or not, he is entitled |
10 his full liberty and he is hereby lib
,rated and discharged from his present |
in the said Jail, and is hereby !
to the liberty he enjoyed pre-
sious to his said arrest and detention"

Change Regulations
OF Homestead Claims

Changes in the regulations govern
ing the acquiring of homesteads on
,ubIic lands, designed ito make it
easy as possible for the hons en-
tryman to gain a homestead, and as
hard as possible for the speculator.
have Just been announced by Act
ing Secretary of the Interior A A.
Jones.
The principal concession granted
homesteaders is that, in proper cases.
reductions in the area required to be
cultivated will be granted. Sickness
and misfortune also will operate to
lessen the demands uuon the home
steader, and any tilling of the land
for the purpose of benefiting crops
in succeeding years will be deemed
cultivation, and reduce by that much
the work required Of the entryman. %
The timber speculator is hit by a
provision which says that no re-
duction in area Of cultivation will
be permitted on account Of removing
standing timber. Timber entries will
ne considered specuIatice and not
made in good faith fer the purpose of
obtaining a home"
Thousands of settlers on Govern
rnent lands will be removed Of 4

regulations. Assistant Secretary Jones

the fact Senator Lewis and Governor

RIVER FRONT MOST
UNSGHTLY, REPORT
Lieut.. Col. Langfitt Finds Wash
ington's Channel Is Badly
Congested.

That Washington has probably the
most unsightly river front of any
capital city in the world" is the
severe criticism made by Lieut.. Col
w. c. Langfitt in a report on water
front and allied conditions in the Dis
trict. Colonel Langfitt also finds that
the Washington channel has reached
a state of congestion that will operate
against any increase in its traffic and
h., believes that any increase in the
trade of Washington will naturally
come into the Anacostia river"
The terminal facilities of the Ana
costa are not sufficient for the traf-
1c, which, he believes, may be expect
e6 there in the near future, and as
soon as the question of ownership is
settled he favors "a scheme for the
development of the Anacostia,' and
that all future construction of ter
minals should be in accord with this
scheme" ...
That a more favorable report on
wharves and wharf buildings along
the Washington channel cannot be
made, Colonel Langftt's report states,
is due to the fact that the river front
improvements were made by private
persons without any general plans
held to be well constructed, attractive
ion.
Exceptions are made of Shoots
wharf, Georgetown; District of Co.
lumbia sand and gravel yard, the ma
val military wharf and the United
States lighthouse wharf, which are
held to be well constructed attractive
and efficient.
Because Of mutual contracts for
the interchange of traffic between
certain rail and water lines" says the
report there is very little through
traffic, as Washington is almost en-
tirely an Industrial port" The lines
having mutual contracts are given as
the Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company. Pennsylvania railroad,
Southern railroad. and Washington
Southern railroad. and the Potomac
and Chesapeake Steamboat Company.
The report made by Colonel Langfitt
was made in accord with an act of
Congress requesting detailed informa-
tion as to wharf and channel condi-
tions throughout the country.
