IHAW IS CAPTURED
MATTEAWAN INMATE PLACED
UNDER ARREST BY CANADIAN
OFFICIALS
LEGAL BATTLE IN PROSPECT
The First Move to Deport Thaw VIII
Be Resisted on Claim That He
Is Just Passing Through

cut short in his flight from the state
hospital for the criminal insane at
Matteawan, n. Y, by arrest at the
village of ST. Hermenegilde de Gar
ford. just over the international line
from New Hampshire, prepared in his
cell in the county jail here to fight
against being sent back to the United
States
Thaw faces deportation on the
ground that he is an undesirab bic alien
and eXtradition on a warrant chare-
ng him with bribery. The warran

Will not suffice to extradite him, i
the opinion of local authorities. Thes>
authorities have received word tina
the district attorney of Duchess
county, in which Matteawan is To-
Gated, was on his way here prepared
to swear to warrant charging Thaw
with bribery-an extraditable offense
if necessary
In his own defense. Thaw says that
he was merely passing through Can
ada on his way to Detroit when his
passage was interrupted by arrest
He exhibited what he claimed to be
transportation to Detroit in support
of this claim and cited the case OF
Jack Johnson to bear out his conten
ton that he cannot be sent back to
the United States by the Canadian
authorities SO long as he was simply
passing through the country and in
tends to go beyond its borders
District Attorney Conger of Duchess
county, New York, it is understood
wants Thaw ordered deported. He
wants Thaw returned to the United
States over that part of the interna'
tional line touched by the state OF
New York.
Thaw came into the Dominion from
New Hampshire, however, and if Gus
tom is followed he will go back to
New Hampshire.
The Canadian immigration depart
ment at Ottawa wired the chief of pc
lice here to hold Thaw under the I'm.
migration Act, indicating that steps
will be taken to .deport him. This
theory was made almost a certainty
by the Information that the depart
ment had sent two inspectors to Sher
brooke with instructions to watch the
case and institute proceedings to de
port Thaw.

MADE GOOD ROADS
HEARTY RESPONSE IN MISSOURI
TO GOVERNOR MAJORS
PLAN.
OBJECT LESSON TO NATION
A Quarter Million Men Made Four
Hundred Miles of New Roads in
the Two Days-kansas Gov
ernor Helped.

jefferson City, Mo.-Based on tele-
grams received from counties scat
tered in every portion of the state.
Governor Major said that one quarter
million would be a conservative es-
innate of the number of men who
toiled upon the roads and highways
of Missouri, in answer to his proela-
nation.
The governor estimates that the
value of the work that was done will
be at least one and a half million
dollars.
'.Missouri's two good road days
have been success exceeding even
our anticipations," Governor Major
said. From the kilograms l have re-
ceived one-quarter million will be =
conservative estimate of the number
who turned out to work on the roads
of the state the first day. That num-
Der was increased the second day.
judging from the kilograms and tele-
phone messages received.
1.-THE value of the labor alone in
the two days will be 100000. More
than 100000 has been raised in the
various counties and cities of Missouri
and spent for material and road sup
plies. Thousands of teams have been
worked. Tons of cement have been
put into bridges and culverts. This
will add another half million dollars
to the total amount of improvement
that has been done and will be done
on the two road days. And that is
putting it small
Missouri has shown the Nation an
object lesson in road building. At
least 400 miles of new road have been
built. Repairs have been made upon
hundreds of other miles of our high
ways. Hills have been dyHamited OF
the entire state over
Governor Major received returns"
from road day at the executive man
sion, where he was entertaining Gov
ernor Hodges and Mrs. Hodges of
Kansas. 1t was just like an election
night-only it is doubtful if ever any
bulletins were watched with closer

Science seems to have no limit to the
tasks it will assume. The editor of
American Medicine asserts that the
proper cure for the gambler is in a
sanitarium. "A time may come" &C
cording to his assertion, when the
nature of such habits will be brought
to the alienist." But before science
undertakes this cure it must settle a
practical point Will the man who
bets his pile on the rise or fall of
stocks, grain or pork be rated as a
gambler. or only the one who stakes
his wad on cards or the ponies?

with their love teaching them all
things, and mothers of this generation
are no different from those who have
