mitores and the Il oates were getting
their second slan when Thaw, fully
dressed, left his room this morning.
The milkmans' cart was rumbling on
The road outside as he walked through
the storeroom and into the outer
court or outer yard of the asylum
Howard H. Branum, sole attendant
at the road gate, was pacing back and
forth when Thaw closed the store
room door behind him and apparently
did not grasp the significance of
Thaw's early rising.
Long years of residence at the
asylum and repeated declarations by
Thaw that he would never attempt
to obtain his freedom, except by legal
means, had established Thaw's status
as "trusty."
There was little out of the ordina-
ry in his appearance, even at so early
an hour in the court yard, and if
Barnum saw him-as to this no one
save the hospital authorities could
say tonight, and they refused to talk
ne raised no question
AS Barnum stepped aside for the
milkman to drive inside the grounds
he heard the gravel crunching be-
meath Thaw's feet and, looking up,
saw Thaw flash past him straight for
one Of the waiting cars.
With a shout Barnum started in
pursuit, but a flying leap landed Ihaw
safe in the car The automobile
wheels began to turn before the keep
er fairly reached the roadway and
they were throwing up a cloud OF
dust before he had gone twenty five
feet.
For a moment Barnum shaded his
eyes with his hands and watched
them; then, with the first great blot
en- his career OF twenty years as
Keeper, he dashed madly back into
DR., Kieb's presence, and in moment
the hunt was on.
The great black car flashed like a
through Stormvle, ten
miles east Of Matteawan, along the
road to the Connecticut line. Early
riscrs in the little hamlet saw three
men-and Thaw crouching low to es-
cape the sweep of their rush through
the air. They were going seventy
miles an hour They were ten min
utes out of Matteawan. Stormyille !
at their speed and watched |
them melt away in the dust of the
state road.
The limousine had been left behind.
At the speed at which the touring
car Travelled through Stormville it
should have reached the state line
within half an hour.

tie with a gang Of Mexican laborers

Story Of Escape.

Matteawan, n. Y, Aug. 17-Harry
X. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford
White, escaped from the hospital for
the criminal insane here at 7:i5
o'clock this morning.
A dart for liberty through an open
gate, a leap into the open door of a
powerful automobile that stood quiv-
ering outside and flight like a rock
ct for the Connecticut state line, thir-
ty miles away accomplished his es-
cape.
Five Confederates manned the car
in which Thaw escaped, and big
black lomousine which trailed it past
the asylum gate. The police have
the descriptions of Thaw's confeder-
.ates, and the names under which they
registered at a local hotel Friday
night and are seeking them.
The hospital authorities believed
that Thaw had fled to the shore Of
Long Island Sound and boarded a
yacht, waiting with steam up, to rush
TO Europe.
A reward of $500 for Thaw's ap-
prehension has been offered by DR..
F. C. Kieb superintendent of the
asylum.
Howard H. Barnum, the attendant
at the gate past whom Thaw flashed
on his break for freedom, is under
arrest and other arrests are expected
to follow in the rigid investigation
begun by Dr. Kieb.

NJ )THER GETS LETTER
State Authorities Have Slim Chance

ted Prisoner Mas Well Planned and
Successfully Carried Out.

New York, aug. IS.-Mrs. Mary
Copiey Thaw read about noon today
a letter from her son, iFaliy K. Thaw
who escaped from Matteawan yes
terday. Thaw said he planned to
take a rest before going to the
ThaW country place, Elmhurst, at
Creston, Pa. The ctter vast post
marked New York, Aug. 18th u m
Station ,....
Inside on a lone slip was Thaw's
communication IN pencil. 1t read:
"All well. Shai take a rest before
going, to ElIAhUrst as / might be
asked for an interview and don't
wish to refuse, yet don't care to
make statements. Hope NJ. e G.,

short note to Bournal.
"H. X. T."
The fugitive apparently had orig
1nally intended sending the fore
going by telegraph as a night letter,
for it was so marked.
Mrs. Thaw said the letter was in
her sens writing. She said she
would leave for Elmhurst tomorrow.
Asked if she believed her sop re-

she said she was no mind reader. She
said she would consult counsel as to
whether her son could be returned if
he went to Pennsylvania. The theory
;advanced that Thaw got aboard a
Yacht in the sound gains weight. Per-
sons near South Norwalll saw two
persons in that district i'll a car. One
is believed to have been Thaw, the
other his sister, Mrs. Alice Whitner,
New York, Aug 1S.-Harry X.
Thaw's more than twenty-four hours
absence from Matteawan asylum has
established as yet little beyond the
fact that he had escaped and the
state has slim chance OF eXtradit-
ing him. No authentic trace of
Thaw has as yet been found. 1t was
considered a foregone conclusion that
Thaw will be found. When he is,
the New York authorities, it is said,
might try to force eXtradition on one
Of two grounds. First, that in es-
Gaping he technically assaulted his
keeper; second, that bribery of some
attache of the asylum could be shown.
Either of these, if sustained would
constitute an extraditable oifense.

Suits in Federal Court

There were two separate suits in
stituted in the federal court here by
the United church in the fall of 1909.
One known as the church case was
begun on behalf of James NJ. Bark
ley of Baltimore, moderator of the
United church, against Hugh H.
Hays a trustee, of the old Cumber
land church. The latter claimed the
union of the two churches was il
legal. The second suit was instituted
on behalf of the synod 'of Kansas
CT the Presbyterian church in the
United States, and was directed
against the Missouri Valley College
of Marshall, Mo, and other defend
ants. 1t was instituted because the
Cumberland members attempted to
gain control of the college and oust
its officers.
Minority Opposed Union.
A minority report Of the Cumber-
land members opposed the union and
declared the church properties should
still be devoted to the use of those

to. The oats are harvested the latter part of May
and the stubble is Immediately plowed under and
the land planted to cotton. In late years, after
the removal of oats, this system has been varied
by planting the cotton in the same row with the
corn instead Of between the rows. This permits
the earlier planting Of the cotton and makes the
cultivation Of the crop less difficult. When the
ears are about mature. the corn Is topped. so as to
save the top portion Of the stalks for forage. and
as soon as the ears are dry they are gathered and
the remainder Of the stalks Is cut or pulled up and
worked into the land between the rows, where
they decay and add their quota to the organic con-
tent of the soil.
When the cotton was planted between the rows
of corn, cowpeas were planted between the hills of
the latter crop. Now that the system has been
changed and the cotton Is planted In the same row
with and between the hills of corn, cowpeas are
planted in all the "skips' or places where hills of
COR or cotton are missing. In this way every foot
of available land Is utilized to produce something
which will ultimately be returned to the soil.
Frequent and shallow cultivation Is practiced.
No special tools are used; just the ordinary one
horse implements common to the section. The
usual practice Of planting corn and cotton on a
rather high bed Is not followed, and the land is
cultivated almost fiat.
The year 1908 was. perhaps, the banner year
for yields under McCall's rotation system. That
year he had / acre In oats. which was followed by
cotton, the latter being planted in April. Over rs
bushels Of oats were harvested from this acre in
May. The cotton was we'll fruited and produced
8 bales weighing sos, 500 and $40 pounds. From
the other acre 80 bushels of oats, so bushels Of
corn and a bale of cotton were obtained.

BERLIN. Oct. 10.-He's one lit
tie fuss maker. is Frederick Will
helm Victor August Ernest Ho-
henzollern. But maybe any one OF
us folks would be fussy, too, un-
der the same circumstances.
His father is emperor Of
Germany, and Fred Wilhelm will
have to take up the job as soon as
his father quits. But. until he
DOES quit. the old man won't let
Fred touch bit of the machinery.
And all this seems to create a
peeve in Fred. which he takes out
on his daddy.
1t has been really shameful, of
late, how Fred has gone after
father.
For instance. during his life of
thirty years, Fred has done some
hunting, but Freds idea is to play
tag with his deer: to chase 1t and
tire it and shoot. it only when
it's so tired that 1t would die any
how. while fathers way is to hide
in what they call a Shooting box"
and. when hired men drive the
deer past him. shoot them by the
dozens.
Very well. The other day Fred
astonished folks by issuing a book
on hunting and it seems as IL his
whole purpose was just to take
rap at dad.
He called folks butchers and no
sportsmen who killed game from
hunting boxes; real sportsmen
gave their prey chance to get
away and didn't bang them
twenty at "a time. from an easy
chair in little house. The latter
way was too much like shooting at
herd of cattle. Whereupon
Fred and his father were at outs
again.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1O.-It
is not q pleasant task to call one
self liar. However, that is just
what / have to do. I said that
Jeff Tesreau would stop the Ath.
letics.
He did not even slow them up
On the other hand, Joe Bush
of whom half the people In the
Polo grounds had never heard
yesterday, performed in good
enough style to hold the Giants
to five hits and two runs. Mr..
Bush does not SAVIOR of the bush,
although he is just a kid. He
has great speed and a fine change
of pace.
OF course, those Athletics, who
are regular hitting fools when
they get started, gave him a good
sendoff, singles by Oldring, Col
Inns, Baker, and Fletcher's wild
chuck giving them three runs in
the opener. One cushion thumps
by Murphy Oldring and Collins
gave them two more in the Sec
ond.
Thus encouraged and hearten-
ed, Bush cut loose with all his
stuff and moved the Giants down
with more or less regularity. Tes-
reau, of the Ozark hills, improved
himself, and sailed along in great
style until the seventh frame.
Then Murphy swatted for a gum
ny, Oldring forced him at the
next tuft and Eddie Collins dent

triple. Homerun Baker singled,
and Tesreau departed. presum-
ably for the Ozarks. Entered

UP a two-years' quarrel, which
started when Fred. sitting In the
German parliament. as a mere ON
locker. led an awful ,.rurnpts
against the chancellor, his fathef,s
representative. because that idtgH-
fled old statesman was talking too
much against war to suit Freddie.
Only the other day, too. when
father was celebrating the ssaet
that Germany had been at reaee
for rs years, another book dame
out pointing out what delightful
and interesting thing Germany
could make of a little war with
somebody or anybody. And the
crown prince that's Fred--had
written an Introduction to the
volume, in which he practically
said. THE fellow who wrote this
book is dead right" Which
again made 1t pretty tough on dad
But 1t isn't fair to be too harsh
with young Friedrich. In his
home, with his wife and four
babies. he's gentle person.
Aside from batting father and
hunting. Fred's greatest pleasure
consists in trying TO turn his
autos into aeroplanes. He has IN
idea that IL the auto goes fast
enough 1t will leave the rough
roads and sail through the air.
and he's been experimenting
along this line for some years.
One OF the finest sights in Ber-
lin is to see one of Fritz cars come
tearing through Inter den Linden,
just as IL it was race track in
stead of the finest business street
in the German capital.
