THAW CASE
On His Habeas Corpus Petition
as Amended Will Be Heard
in Court Tomorrow.
ny Aosoe,srrp psrs.,

CONCORD, n. H, Nov. 1.-THE
amended petition for a writ OF habeas
corpus, which acts as stay in the
removal of Harry K. Thaw from New
Hampshire to New York, was filed by
Thaw's attorneys in the United States
district court here today. Amend
ments to the Original petition were
necessitated by the indictment in New
York county, charging conspiracy to
escape from the Matteawan asylum.
A hearing on the amended petition OF
Thaw and also upon the petition of
the state of New York for the dis
mlssal of the habeas corpus proceed
ings will be given in the federal court
here tomorrow.
Thaw asks that the writ issue
on the grounds that he is citizen OF
Pennsylvania, that his commitment
to Matteawan was Illegal, that the sec
ton of the New York criminal code,
under which he was committed, con-
fiicts with the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution and that the petit
tons for his extradition do not charge
a crime The petition further says
that "the proceedings on the part of
the special deputy attorney general
of the state of New York establish
bad faith and are convincing evidence
of purpose to obtain possession of
Thaw, not for trial on the conspiracy
indictment but for reconfinement in
Matteawan"

DANGERS
Attaching to Mines at This Sea-
son Are Sought by Gov
ernor to Be Averted.

CHARLESTON, Nov. 17.-With the
view of securing a closer and more
strict supervision of the mines In the
state where the danger is greatest
during the present season OF the year,
Governor Hatfield is advising with
chief Of the department OF mines, Earl
Henry, In securing system OF class
ifcation of the mines into three divi-
sions, the non-hazardous, hazardous
aud extra hazardous
The governors plan Is to assign
the district mine inspectors in such
a way after this classification has
been made SO as to provide inspec-
tons of the extrashazardous and
hazardous mines more often than the
non-hazardous mines and in this man
ner prevent, as far as 1t is possible.
to do so, the degree of danger from
mine accidents. Every precaution is
being axerted in this way to minimize
the death toll in West Virginia from
mine explosions and the governor,
who Is familiar with the mining in
dustry, is receiving copy of the daily
reports of the various mine inspectors
and keeping in close touch with the
inspections.
When the classification OF the mines
OF the state has been definitely es-
tablished on a basis of hazard, the
governor believes that this system
should be used also as the. basis Of
liability to be charged under the
that the rates should be fixed in pro-
portion TO the hazard of the mines.
workmen's compensation law, and
Those coal operations which exercise
every precaution as a protection for
their employees and who do every
thing for the safety of their worlmen
will not be required to pay as great a
liability rate as those who are not
awake to the responsibilities that they
owe their workmen
There is every indication that
through the classification of hazardous
mines a greater protection will be
placed on the life OF the miner than
ever before in West Virginia and that
the fatalities and disabilities from
accidents will be materially lessened.
Under the present nat rate
charged to the operators under the
worknen's compensation bureau.
there is no inducement offered for the
minimizing of accidents. but under
the plan of establishing a hazard
basis, this will place each operator
almost directly responsible for the
accidents in the mine over which he
has supervision and will spur him on
to a strict observance of every pre-
caution.
