One of the most largely attended |

sided over by Mr.. M. e. Morehead,
who made strong talk along the line
Of community development and uplift
through the agency of the agricultural
high schools. A general discussion
followed and it was shown clearly that
this phase of education is considered
as a most important one by a large
number of Mississippi teachers.

HABEAS CORPUS IS PENDING

Empty Of Results.
Decision Does Not Send Him
Back to. Matteawan.

|, Coucord. N. H.. Nov s.-Governor
Felker today honored the requisition
Of the state of New York for the ex-
tradition Of H. K. Thaw. The case n
now transferred automatically to tho
federal courts where q writ. of ha-
beas corpus on behalf Of Thaw il
pending.
The governor based his decision on
the indictment returned against Thaw
In New York county. which charged
him with conspiracy to escape from the
insane asylum at Matteawan, N. T.. to
which he was committed after his Sec
ond trial for the killing of Stanford
White. Thaw made his sensational
flight on August II, and a few days la
ter was arrested near Coaticook. Can
ada.
VIII Amend Petition.
Thaw's attorneys announced that
they would Immediately file an
amendment to their petition for writ
which was made soon after Thaw was
arrested in this state following his de-
portation from Canada.
The original petition was based on
the allegation that Thaw was indicted
for conspiracy by the Dutchess county
grand jury and 1t was suspended
pending the governors decision on the
matter Of extradition. Because the
eXtradlttOn has now been granted on
the strength of the New York indict-
ment it will be necessary to amend
the petition accordingly.
Thaw was not present when Cover
nor Felker announced his decision to
the attorneys representing the fugi-
tive and the state of New York at the
capitol. He will remain here in the
custody of United States Marshal Mute
ana Sheriff Drew pending the federal
proceedings.
Gives His Reasons.
In granting the extradition, Gov.
Felker said in part: by the petition
of Gov. Glynn and the accompanyfne
papers 1t appears that the grand Jury
of the county of New York has duly
returned in open court an indictment
against Mr.. Thaw that is sufficient to
warrant the arrest, arraignment and
trial of the respondent, If he may
be found within the state wherein
the indictment is pending.
1T Is furthermore sufficient to es-
tablish that Mr.. Thaw is, If found
In any state or. country while such
Indictment is impending. a fugitive
from Justice. The provisions of the

One night in December. 1911, Kuyken-
dali was robbed in his rooms on Kan

ned Charles Hecht as one Of the men
who participated in the robbery. al

two terms Of the Shawnee court. At
the third term E. r.. Simon, who was
at the time county attorney, was sick
and unable to attend court. A continu-
ance OF the case was asked on this
ground and granted.
Then Hecht's attorneys claimed that
the case could not be further prosecu-
ted, pleading the section of the statute
which said that criminal proceedings
could not be continued for more than
TWO consecutive terms. But the district
court nelo tnat the sickness of the
prosecuting attorney was a valid ex-
cuse and would not act as a bar to
further proceedings. The supreme court

she gave freely of her time and money

during her Presidency and she gave
this Society its first real impetus to real
life and large usefulness.
Her most striking character was
thoughtfulness to others n Of her
requests being that the flowers sent to

last benefactions to the church was
a memorial to her honored and loved

her! What a glorious awakening!
After days of longing to go and be with
"Him"-to awake in the presence of
1.-The King"
Although we loved her, we would
not wish her back, for we know that
her life was an inspiration, her mem
DRY a precious legacy, and her service
