HIS HlGH.PRlCED COUNSEL DI- VIDED SINCE ARRIVAL OF VET-
 FRAN PROSECUTOR.
FUGITIVE BERATES NEMESIS
Whites Slayer Raves and Faces Cell While Legal Aids Debate Course of Action and Fail to Agree
 Long Battle in Prospect.

Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug 27.-That William Travers Jerome is the neme- sis of Harry K. Thaw was again dem- onstrated more clearly than any time since the murder of Stanford White. Previously the high-priced lawyers for the Pittsburg millionaire were a unit in defense plans. In the jail Thaw was confident and sarcastic. Now the defense is divided. Thaw, extremely nervous and much excited, paces back and forth in his cell, issuing orders to everyone who will listen. What the outcome will be no one can fore cast. And all because Jerome, reach ing here, made the following state ment:
 Harry K. Thaw Is headed straight back to Matteawan. He may fight here. He may elect to struggle in Vermont. But the end will be the same And what difference does a few months make one way or tho other?"
 The moment Thaw heard this he sent for his lawyers and demanded they reverse themselves and keep him in Canada. In an outburst of rage he paced his cell.

PRESIDENT FAvoRs YOUNG GIRL.

Washington, Aug. 27.-President Wilson received the following letter from Miss Ethel Provost of Parsons, Kans. It took him only a fraction of a second to decide to grant the re- quest contained therein:
 My father is soon to take the management of hotel in Yellow stone National park. We have been informed that no dogs are allowed in the park confines. MT President, you don't know how sorry I am to hear this. I am IS years old, and our old dog, Fanny. Is the same age. We have never been separated, and I cannot bear the thought of leaving her behind. She Is very old for a dog. you know, and would not be able to harm any of the park animals. It would be terrible to kill her. don't you think? Now, if I prom ise to watch her carefully. can't you persuade the superintendent of the park to let me take Fanny along?"

CAMINETTI TRIAL IS OPENED
Witnesses Have to Force Way Into Court-Selectlng of Prospec-

San Francisco, Aug. 27-The trial of F. Drew Caminetti, charged with violating the Mann act, under which his companion, Maury I. Diggs, was convicted opened in the United Sattes district court before Judge William C. Van Fleet.
 The same witnesses who testified at the trial of Diggs last week struggled through the crowd gathered about the courtroom and forced their way into the building, shielding themselves as well as they could from cameras trained upon them by newspaper pho tographers and representatives Of moving picture concerns.
 The same methods pursued in the examination of the talesmen at Diggs' trial were repeated. The government, as was the case at the Diggs trial, showed by it's questions that it will seek to try the case before jury of men married and with families.
 Marsha Warrington and Lola Nor ris were not in the courtroom, but re mained in an office near by, ready to appear.

"Chlcken' Fanciers' Lawyer"


 "chlcken' Fanciers' Lawyer"
 Jerome is at last the paid attorney for the Broadway chicken fanciers,' he shouted. And with his true colors revealed we must fight every step of the way"
 The lawyers are always in consulta- tion. The majority are still insistent that it was best to let Thaw go to Vermont. White aud Shurtliffe, who were the original attorneys; chSSiged their front. They urged bold move which they said would afford delay. They wanted writ of dscontinuance of the habeas corpus proceedings hled immediately. This would leave Thaw committed under the original commit ment. and they declared he would have to stay there until the regular October term of court. In the mean time something might turn up.
 But the other lawyers held that if any such action were taken the min ister of justice at Ottawa would inter- fere. His power is absolute. And with the attention of the world on Canada it was not believed that a technical commitment would be per mitted to be used as an excuse for the laws delay. However, they were considering this plan and also prop osition that an agreement be reached whereby Thaw be ordered deported to New York via Montreal and then stay of execution granted permitting an appeal, which would finally go to the privy council in London.
 To Test Canadian Law.
 The basis of the appeal would be discrimination. The Canadian immi grafton law gives only Canadians the right of appeal from exclusion or deportation orders. The treaty be- tween Great Britain and the United States grants citizens of one country equal rights in the other. The Thaw lawyers were considering whether this did not make the section refusing the OppOE tuulty tO opPS@i " %AA'NA 'NNNNS unconstitutional.
 It was believed the Ottawa officials might not oppose this plan. Canada would be the gainer. This one section of the law has caused divided opin- ions among lawyers. Canada could thus get a high court decision with the state of New York and the Thaw family paying the bills.
 The Thaw lawyers said they would not make final decision until after fur ther conferences, but for the present at least would adhere to the original plan.
 'The selection of policy is very serious in its consequences" ex- plained Attorney Stone, "and we can not afford to take chances"
 Thaw insisted again that while Je- rome was nominally a deputy attor- ney-general representing New York state, in reality he represented for mer associates of Stanford White. In

THE hot AIR. NEST EGG.

The Gary & Interurban railroad is
distinctly a Calumet region project
and as such is typical of the pro-
gressiveness of this community. For
this region the people of this locality
feel that it is home institution and
they watch its progress with uneon-
cealed interest.
The Gary & Interurban railroad is
still owned and controlled by Lake
County men although outside capital
has been interested in the project
The system, for that is what it
has grown to be, started as a fran
chise grabbing exploit when A. f.
Knots went into Gary and induced
his brother Thomas Knots, then the
president of the Gary village board
to grant him and Frank Gayit a fran.
chise in the streets of Gary.
Afterwards the Knottses withdrew
from the enterprise and later ever
opposed Gavit in some of his ambiti
Gus plans for the newly born Traction
line.
About this time the Chicago New
York air line; afterwards dubbed TIL,
Hot Air Line was appealing to tn,

THE WAGE INCREASE.

Gary benefits to the extent of more
than $1,oo0,000 a year by the new
wage increase of the steel corporation
which goes into effect today. 1t is
needless to say that the increase is
welcomed by the whole Calumet
region.
The steel corporation has done
marvellous work since its selection CT
these parts in 1906 for the site of
additional western plants. In Gary
more than 1900 men, who receive
upwards of s1,00O,000 a month for
their services, are on its payroll.
Any fear that the employees in this
vicinity will consider the strike APP
peals of Ettor and his agitators is
neutralized when it is considered
that men who receive voluntary in
creases in their pay are far from be-
ing restless mood
The wage increase, the high crest
of prosperity, the policy of expansion
the vast number of untitled orders
and the bright times ahead reveal {
future such as this region has nevel
seen the like of before.

imaginations of the people of the
United States as being a project with
magnificent possibilities.
Within few weeks after the news
papers printed their full page adver-
tisements of the plan to cut down the
distance from New York to Chicago
to ten hours five million dollars
worth of Air Line stock had been sub
scribed.
This netted the new company
practically million dollars. Gavit
was casting about for some way to
finance his Gary proposition when his
eyes rested on the real money that
was flooding the treasury of the Hot
Air Lire =
When Gavit persuaded the Air Line
people to build his Gary system in re-
turn for majority of the stock OF
the company he made his reputation
as a traction promoter.
In financial circles. that Is. the
usual sources of money supply. ii
would never have been possible for
Gavit to finance his project. There
are too many entangling alliances
And then there was the ultra conser-
vatism of capital in its attitude to-
wards such projects.
Only the discovery by Gavit of the
real money in the hands of the pro
motors of the Air Line saved Gavit':
project. And 1t may be said Incl
dentally that only the purchase O
the Gary & Interurban stock by tn,
/ Air Line saved it from failure.
! The Air Line project was visionar,
but ii got the money The Gary

in life time do men find such l

YOUTH MUST TEACH OLD AGE

One of the pecularities of life is
enjoy old age.
1t is matter of common remark
and belief that the contentment of
old age depends upon how the life
preceding it has been spent; hut that
is not what is meant. We refer to
the learning process itself.
Men past seventy seem too old to
change the current of their tastes and
inclinations. If they have learned to
enjoy only those things that the
young can do, old age finds them
without resources.
! The old man who sits on the door
think, is iIf the Beelezebub of shape
| if he doesn't know how to enjoy
thinking.
| The keen delight of philosophy OF
common sense or speculative thought
call it what you will. is possible tt
the uneducated seneschal as to the
gifted philosopher, but the inclina
ton to think is something that can
not be acquired in extreme old age
Mr.. Dooley may be just as happ.
in old age as DR.. Mommsen, ant
David Harum may be just as full o
contentment as John Sturart Mill
but the man whose mind is empty an
restless in age, has thrown away hi
youth, and for him DIR. Osler's sug
gestion is not amiss.

But in all seriousness, the old

chorus girls was never well found
ed. The average man who attends
the theater. while admiring the
beautiful of form as well as the
harmonies of voice. doesn't care so
much for the chorus girls as the
photographers have made out. The
truth is paste and paint and arti-

to become enamored of that type
of woman as he is of one or even
palmer proportions, who looks like
