JEROME SCORES
IN FIRST SESSION
States Attorney Succeeds in
Throwing Burden of
Proof on Thaw.

CONCORD, n. H., Sept. 23-Wil-
liam T. Jerome scored first blood at
the opening session Of the extradition
hearing on Harry K. Thaw before
Governor Felker in the State Senate
chamber here today. The hearing was
adjourned from / o'clock until
O'Clock The governor was disposed to
have New York state open the argu-
ment but Mr.. Jerome succeeded in
throwing the burden Of proof on the
defense by getting a ruling from the
governor that Thaw's lawyers should
begin first.
William NJ. Chase former justice of
the New Hampshire supreme court
opened the argument for Thaw. Judge
Chase and former Governor Stone OF
Pennsylvania who followed argued
that Thaw is insane; that an insane
man cannot be punished for escaping
from an asylum, that when he does es'
cape he does no criminal wrong; and
that 1t is up to Mr.. Jerome to prove
and the governor to decide whether
Or not Thaw Is sane.
Judge Chase's prime contention was
that II the requisition was for an ul
terror purpose it should not be grant
ed.
ito deliver Thaw up to New York
state if he is insane; you have no au
thority to act upon grounds OF public
policy for comfy. The process of ex
tradition must be according to precise
statutes | have heard that the idea is
held in certain quarters that you can
extradite Thaw simply because he was
an inmate of Matteawan asylum. The
cMme charged against Thaw is con
spiracy. The particular crime with
which he is charged is so defined by
the penal statutes Of New York that
1t cannot be the act of an insane man
Thaw is regarded as innocent of the
crime Of murder because he was in
sane at the time
While Judge Chase made his argu
ment Thaw appeared very nervous
continually shifting his position and
seemingly at loss to dispose of his
hands. Mrs. Thaw, his mother, sat
perfectly calm.

OYSTER DEMAND
SAME AS USUAL

Oyster dealers say the demand for
oysters in Richmond is about the
same as other years.
1t is probable that if the plans for

tent the use of meat

The public that the product is clean.
October 20 to Is is to be made oyster
week and all letters sent out by the

legs were solid bone and it was work
ing up. He was cheerful over it, and
what did he do but start one Of the
biggest novelties ever heard of. His
arms were working all right and he
quit the circus and got some tools,
and what did he do but sit on a busy
street corner making collar buttons
Why, 1t was the all-Rretdest money
maker that ever happened!
HE said he knew what the matter
was. He had been eating too much
lime-making foods and he was tired of
being fat man. So, after he had cut
down his weight to the desired figure
making collar buttons of himself,
he would begin drinking distilled wa
ter and chemicals that remove lime.
Sure enough, he did-just remov-
ed all that bony matter; for he was
a diet expert, You see. Soon he was
the same as ever, except the surplus
flesh he had worked up in trade willis
1t was bone was gone and he was a
slim, handsome man and won the
hundred yard dash on the Fourth of
July. He stuck to his reduction course
OF diet until he became so timber that
he got a job as contortionist and was
the best ever, everybody said. We
admitted there was something to him
after all.
But he had to overdo the thing.
He was genius without the neces-
sary ballast of common sense. He
wanted to carry comforting to yet
unreallzed point. Turning from an
osslhed man to a contortionist had
turned his head.

length and with more Of that bone
reducing liquid I'll show 'em.'
We'll, sir. I'll own that did feel
proud of Edison. One day, sitting be-
side a stranger from Des Moines, there
in the circus, 1 said to that person,
whom l hadn't been introduced to and
who was smoking a stogy, I said.
That man is the husband of my sis

music by the band, Edison SonderbS
went coiling, winding up the big CEN
ter pole, not shining nor touching a

snake, clear 20 the roof! Why, folks
just went crazy over it.
1T spoiled I:dson. He felt SO smart
over it that when h., was in strange
town he'd have tc show it OF. He al,
tracted attention enough, anyway, so
willowy. SO squirmy, you might say,
just merely walking along the street,
but he had to stop now and then and
go shaking up a telegraph pole. and
scare the populace.
"One day in Pittsburg lineman
broke climbing iron as he was about
to go up pole. So Edison says: let
me do it for you. Then he started
twisting up the pole.
IAN imperfectly reformed boozer
named McCann, coming out of a store,
yelled, I've got 'em again, terrible!'
and pulled a gun and tired!
Il sometimes wonder what Edison
would have done next, what strange
thing he would have accomplished, if
that hadn't happened. But he over
did things, and that is inJuuicious."

British to Add to
Bermuda Squadron;
Canal Protection

London, Aug. 6.-The Washington
reports Of Great Britain's intention to
establish naval base in Bermuda
are regarded by the London press as
rejecting misconception on the
American in the admiralty's plans. 1t
is admitted that the British squadron
at Bermuda will be increased to four
armored cruisers with a rear ad-
miral in command, and a dock yard
and coaling station will be estab-
lished. It is declared, however. that
this is merely to remedy a mistake
that was made under Admiral Fish
er's regime and for the very natural
purpose of affording greater protec-
tion to British shipping which makes
use of the Panama canal.
Under Lord Fishers naval re-
distribution scheme a number OF
ships that had for many years been
stationed at Bermuda were recalled
to home waters. The four cruisers
which will now be sent there will
not be on permanent station, 1t is
said, but will return home every
| summer for maneuvers.

ing upon reports that the new plans
were aimed at the Monroe doctrine
recalls that Bermuda was British
before the Monroe doctrine existed
and that it became coaling station
for the royal navy In regular use al
early as 1869.

Regulars in Militia
Will Get Only the
Pay Given Those Men
WASHINGTON,

Washington, Aug. G. Retired
army officers and enlisted men serv- nv
ing with the organized militia of the
several states will not receive any OF
the $5,O00,0O0 annually appropriated
by the federal government for the
militia. They will get only their re-
tired pay as officers and men of the
regular army, according to a decision
by the comptroller of the treasury.
The order affects many retired regu-
lars who also are members OF the
militia.
The comptroller expressed some
doubt whether a regular army officer
should also be an officer Of the state
militia because the claims Of tho
United States on his services are
paramount to those Of the states. He
did not decide that question, how
ever.
