At LIBERTY FOR THREE HOURS
He was Arrested Without IL Warrant
by a Sheriff in New
Hampshire

CoIebrook, y. H., Sept. 11.-Har-
ry K. Thaw, the Matteawan asylum
escape, enjoyed three brief hours OF
liberty in northern New England
yesterday, after being suddenly
thrust out of Canada. but was ar
rested five miles from here by Sher-
iff Holman Drew of Coos county.
Armed with written orders to de-
port Thaw, issued by the department
OF justice, E. Blake Robertson. i'm
migration officer, arrived in Coati-
cook Tuesday night. He told no one
of his plans except subOrdinates nec-
essary to aid in executing them.
Accompanied by his subordinates,
Robertson. The missile went wild
i'll the detention pen shortly before
o'clock Wednesday morning.
Robertson told Thaw that he had
orders to deport him to Vermont.
Thaw could not have been more sur
prised had he been told that he was
free. Before Thaw could reply
Robertson ordered him to get ready
at once for the trip, adding that an
automobile was waiting for the dash
to the border
Thaw's surprise changed 10 fury
in a moment. He refused to go and
picked up a bottle and hurled it at
Robertson. The missile went wide
of its target, crashed through a win
dow and broke on the roadway out
side Robertson and his men seized
the prisoner and placed him in a
waiting auto, and he was Immediate
ly carried across the line and set
free. Alone and dazed, he did not
know what to do. The newspaper
men followed him, took him into
their car and travelled with him. Al
noon they had passed over Vernon
into New Hampshire.
Thaw with the newspaper CORES
pondents was driving down the roaC
when an automobile containing tht
sheriff approached in sight. The
sheriff, recognizing ThaW, neld ul
his hand for the car to stop. Thav
ordered the chauffeur, a French Ca
naiian, to bring the car to a stand
still, and then aIighted and went int
the sheriff's car without protest, al
though the officer had no warran
for his arrest.
The Matteawan fugitive and tn
newspaper correspondents then pro
ceeded to Colebrook. Thaw was no
locked up in Jail but taken to the OF

torney, whom he retained as hi

AIRSHIP AND FOURTEEN MEN

STORM DROVE LII FROM LAND AND
SEVEN MEN WERE SAVED
Another Tragedy Proves that the
UnwieIdy Dirigibles are Unable
to Battle with the Elements

BILE airship Zeppelin LII, cruising out
from Cuxhaven. was overtaken by
a storm yesterday and foundered. A
torpedo boat which followed the air
ship from port, picked up seven
members of its crew of twenty-one,
but the others went down with the
ship.
Several torpedo boat destroyers re-
mainel all night at the scene of the
catastrophe. Seven bodies were re-
covered, but the bodies of the seven
others probably are in the cabin of
the airship which lies at the bottom
Of one of the deepest parts Of the
North sea.
The hurricane which destroyed
the airship turned into a steady gale
and it has been impossible to locate
the wreck.
A hydroaeroplane accompanying
the dirigible also had a narrow es-
cape from destruction. The aviator,
Lieut.. Lengefeld, saw the cyclonic
storm approaching and reached a
haven of safety just. in time.
The Zeppelin tried to circle the
storm but was drawn into it. The
rudders and machines were useless
and the heavy rain and furious wind
! jammed the helpless craft seaward.

Rev. j. b. Ley, Ocala, Fla.
Dear Sir and Brother: Your es-'
teemei favor of the 9Th inst, inclos-
ing a "dodger," purporting to have
been printed by some parties un-
known to me, and apparently being
used as a campaign document in the
wet and dry campaign now going on
in Marion county, Fla. This
"dodger" contains extract from
letter written by me to the Evening
Star on the condition of affairs as
found them in South Carolina, and
its use by anyone else or in any other
way than as a reader of the Star is
fan unauthorized and unlaw wful use of
ithe same, and for which the persons
Iso using it will be in due time called
upon to answer.
While the letter, in so far as it
ipurports to state facts as they exist
here, is true. yet the conditions here
and in Marion county are essentially
different, ana that which brought

that he did not think there was any

He said:
The error appears to be purely a

and the law will mean what the leg

The law provides that the change
shall not go into effect until the
terms of the congressman expire,

Ice Skating a Real Fad in Society at Capital

THAT part of Washington society
] which delights in outdoor winter
sports has started movement to dis
cuss the ways and means of promot-
ing ice skating. To that end invita-
lions were sent out by a, committee
of interested men and women for a
meeting which was held in the BAN
Duet hall of one of the large hotels.
It is hoped the feeble efforts of Jack
Frost" in Washington may be supple
mented and real ice skating provided
for those who wish.
The tidal basin at the foot of the
Washington monument is unsafe at
best. and then there are only few
days skating on it through the win
ter. Last year the time was extended
somewhat because Of the almost un-
precedented cold weather in this re-
gion. There are many expert skaters
in Washington, who come from all
parts of the world. Most of them be-
long to the diplomatic circle, although
not few are people who have spent
the greater part of their lives in the
northern part of the United States.
Among those interested in the
PROJECT is Major Henry T. Allen,

it's silver sheen over the heavens and

Cigarette Smoking Under Ban OF Censorship

Mrs. John B. Henderson, who is the
arbiter of dancing and dancers in
Washington, has always been opposed
to the practice. 1t is said she re.
quested a fair smoker to go outside.
Lady Alan Johnston, daughter OF
Mrs. James Pinchot is one Of the de-
tenders Of the weed, and smokes
when and wherever it strikes her
fancy. She even pulled her cigarettes
while riding in an automobile from
one place to another.
Lady Johnston struck the first note
in the battle some time ago, when
she offered her cigarette case to 9TH
er guests at luncheon. The hostess
was crusader, and is said to have
requested Lady Johnston, who hap
pened to be the guest of honor, not to
smoke.
Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh, who has
recently completed her m1llion-dollar
palace on Sixteenth street, has pro-
vided little balconies from her ball
room windows for the men to smoke
between dances. If the lady guests
wish to smoke they have to go out
side also.
Miss Helen Taft, at recent lunch
con, displayed her displeasure openly
when cigarettes were passed.
