was much pleased with the treatmen
that he received during his short stay

OBJECT TO CONCRETE

A petition was presented to the
city council this afternoon signed by
twenty-three property owners along
the Improvement of North Fifth street
from Blondeau to Orleans streets,
asking the council to thoroughly In
vestigate the new concrete paving on
that street before 1t is accepted, al.
leging that the paving is faulty.
The petition to the council reads:
We, the undersigned property own
ers, along the improvement of North
Fifth street, viz: concreting from
Blondeau to Orleans avenue, beg that
you thoroughly investigate this i'm
provement before putting your ap
proval on the work. We believe tina,
1t will be found deficient In quality
and quantity of cement used on the
work. The grade of the street car
best be determined by our city engi
neer but the fact that some cutters
are lower than the abutting street
tend to lend color, that the improve
ment is not to the intended grade.
There was considerable objection
among Fifth street residents to hav
ing the street concreted. The worf
was done by contractor under The
supervision of the city.

HARRY THAW ON
TRIAL AGAIN TODAY
Jerome Must Admit Him to be Sane
to Get Him Back, Claim
Lawyers.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
CONCORD, N. H.. Sept 23.-If
Harry K. Thaw is proven to have COM
mitted crime4in NewrYork for which
he can be extradited whether itfis on
a conspiracy charge or some new
charge which VIM. Travers Jerome
has up his sleeve, he will at the same
time have been proven sane. This was
the real meaning Of the argument of
Thaw attorneys during the opening
session OF the extradition proceeding
before Governor Felker today.
When the hearing recessed for
lunch Jerome had not yet laid his
card upon the table but the issue
Thaw's attorneys were attempting to
force was clear. In order to extra
dite Thaw they asserted that Jerome
himself will virtually have to prove
that Thaw is sane under the New
York laws In which case he cannot be
returned to Matteawan. During the
morning hearing Thaw was calmer
and seemed more confident than at
any OF the numerous court proceed
ings since his escape. A large crowd
had followed him from his hotel to
the state house again showing sym
pathy for the fugitive. In the court
room Thaw did not seem over anxious
to face Jerome but Mrs. Mary Copley
Thaw and her son sat at the same
table with Hary's nemises. Ky
Judge William M. Chase opened
the argument for Thaw by declaring
that the governor may sign extradi-
ton papers only for cases of treason,
felony and crime, and that the COVER
nor Of New Hampshire must himself
be satisfied that the extradition was
asked in good faith. you cannot sur
render Thaw to New York, governor,
simply because he Is fugitive from
justice" said Judge Chase, and he
quoted extensively from legal authori.
ties on the subject. Ex-Governor
Stone went further and pressed home
the point that e1tradition on a CON
spiracy charge would admit that Thaw
is sane and that proof of his sanity
is now up to JeromeaS a
