Thaw's Lawyers Prepare to
Combat Habeas Corpus Move.
The Prisoner Makes Two Affi-
davitS in the Case.
DOES NOT WANT HIS FREEDOM
And Has No Intention of Bring
ing Damage Suit.
If They Fail, Will Appeal to a
Higher Court.

Sherbrooke, Sept. 1.-The ThaW
lawyers showed plainly today the ner-
vousness and anxiety with which they
look forward to tomorrow's proceed
ings in the superior court of st. Fran
els county. The decision of Superior
Judge Matthew Hutchinson tomorrow.
on the right of John Boudreau, chief
of police of Coaticook, to demand the
freedom of Harry *. Thaw, whom
Boudreeu arrested two weeks ago, will
determine whether there shall be set
in motion at once the machinery look
ing to Thaws deportation and subse-
quent eXtradition from a border state,
or whether he shall be remanded TO
the Sherbrooke Jail to remain until
the session of the kings bench in Oc-
tober.
If Superior Judge Matthew Hutch
inson sustains the writ of habeas cor
pus which was obtained for BOudreau
by counsel acting for the state of New
York, Thaw may be Immediately
turned over to the immigration author
tiles for deportation. Against this
contingency his lawyers have laid
plans for bitter fight.
Boudreau, in applying for the writ,
contends the Thaw is held illegally, not
being charged with any crime. There
is the added clause that Boudreau, con-
Scious of the illegality of holding the
prisoner, is apprehensive lest he be liza
BILE to damages. In their preparation
for fighting the case in it's present stat
us Thaw's lawyers have caused him to
swear before a notary that he contem-
plates no damage suits. This in fact
releases Boudreau from any RESPONSE
ability in the matter In this way they
hope to show that Boudreau is a dis
interested party in the proceedings and
has no right to ask for Thaw's liberty.
They have gone a step farther in hav-
ing Thaw swear that he is in no way
desirous of being set free at this time
and that the proceedings are contrary
to the basic principle of habeas COR
pus. Should those arguments fail and
the writ be granted, they hope to ap-
peal to the higher courts and stay the
proceedings. Lawyers representing
New York maintained today that even
should an appeal Ii. the prisoner will
already have len released. the immi-
grafton authorities will have seized him
and accomplished the desire of the
state
William Travers Jerome is prepared
to stay until he has exhausted every
effort to get Thaw back to Matteawan.
Should tomorrow's writ fail, there is
reason to believe that some action may
be taken through DR.. Raymond Kieb,
.superintendent of Matteawan, and as
such. Thaw's legal custodian.
1t was pointed out that Kieb could
demand that Thaw, as a lunatic, be
surrendered to him.
Jerome believes firmly that Thaw will
go back to MatteaWdn and soon. He
believes that if further legal entangle-
ments arise acre, high Dominion au-
thorities, branding I'haw's long deten-
ton without trial public scandal, will
demand his release.

MISS FULTON ON
DECENCY OF DRESS
Local superintendent Of Schools
Speaks At Federation of
Woman's Clubs.

Miss Martha Fulton gave very
interesting talk before the state
Federation ct Women's clubs al
Fargo last month in which she
used as her subject, "Dccecny in
Dress"
The following is her address
in full:
"A survey of the fashions in
woman's. attire during the last
few decades reveals to us some re
markable changes. that have taken
place. These changes have fol-
lowed the seasons with startling
rapidity. The sleeves of wom-
ans dress have varied from the
ballon-like structures of twenty
years ago to an abbreviated form
of few seasons past that was
hardly worth the name. :
''The hoop skirts of our grand
mothers have had close imita-
tors in the last ten years; while
the hoops were lacking, the
skirts were as voluminous ;ls
those our ancestors wore. Then
the relentless god of fashion de-
creed that skirts should contain
less material and all womankind
fastened to array herself in. ap-
proved models. Each season has
kept up the warfare on the width
of the skirt until dresses became
SO narrow that walking was a
physical impossibility. Nothing
daunted the dressmakers took
out little more material from
the width, but slit the skirts at
the sides, thereby permitting a
shuffling gait that resembles loco
motion.
Nor has.tthe width of4the .drnss
been Che only dimension to dis
play such eccentricities; we have
worn dresses that trailed in tho
dust and come home laden with
germs. We have had dresses SO
short there was no appreciable
difference between the lengths OF
the dress of the mother and her
school girl daughter. We have
had collars that grew in height
until they were torture to the
wearer; then off came the col
lars and fashion began to leave
the top line of the dress as she
had abbreviated the bottom.
Equally noticeable has been
the change in woman's figure.
The hour glass form of past years
has been suplanted by the mod
ern. Venus de Milo. The waist
line has raced madly up and down
the human form, but seems un-
able to locate permanently.

the present day costume is en-
ough to provoke the cartoonist te

CONTRACTS LET FoR
FURNISHING COUNT HOUSE

Contracts were let by. the
county commissioners last week
for decorating the rooms in the
new court house, and for the
electrical fixtures and Office fur
niture. There were persistent at
tempts by local parties to have
the bidders form combinations,
so that there might be some
rake-offs to be divided, but it
seems that they were unable TO
make a combination that would
please all bidders, and some of
them. kicked over the traces. AS a
result the commissioners think
that they have made some excel
lent contracts for the county. q

SCIENCE SCHOOL NOTES

Martin Berg, student of 1911
and 1912, has enrolled for the
school year.
Mr.. lex. Prof. and Mrs. Taylor
were over from Fergus Falls on
Friday evening, the guests of
Prof. and Mrs. Prather.
A set of wagon scales has been
put in at the power house. Now
we can weigh anything from an
amatuer athlete to an elephant.
| Prof. T. E. Moll, a professor in
the State School of Science from
1905 to 1909, is now head of the
department of German in Ocef-
dental college, Los Angeles. (
Miss Mirick was a delegate to
the North Dakota Library assoc
iation at its annual meeting in
Minot last Friday and4Saturday.
She was elected vice-president of
the association and invited the
association to meet in Wahpeton
next year, and the invitation was
accepted.
School work was suspended for
one day this week to give the
members of the faculty an op-
portunity to attend the educa-
tionar association at Fargo. This
school has for several years held
the distinct ops TIT u s.ssiin every
!! member of it's faculty an active
member of the state association,
and this year it adds the pres
ence Of its faculty.
The football game Friday be-
tween the jamestown college
team and the State School of
Science was a pretty good game
for the spectators to see how the
game is played but would have
been more exciting if the sides
had been more evenly balanced.
The field was muddy and made
fast play difficult. The visitors
played good snappy game but
lost to score of So to 0. This
was the last game of the season
on the home grounds.
The girls of the Y. w. C. A. as
sisted by a few of the faculty
l., members gave halloween party
at Burch Hall last Friday eve
ming. Visitors entered through
the lower regions in almost abso-
lutte darkness over uncertain
footing to gain entrance to the
house. Tickets purchased beforr
making the descent admitted the
bearer to a variety of witches
caves and goblin dens. One could
shoot or duck for apples and re-
freshments with lots of pie were
served in the domestic science
dining room after the ghosts were
through getting you. A program
of several stunts was given in
the upper parlor, and witches
grotto in the lower parlor presen-
ted very pretty scene. Here and
also in a booth on the third floor
fortunes were told. On the first
floor the Fly family and another
troupe held carnival. Diablo
and his minions held sway in the
attic like good ghosts for once
instead of in the lower regions
so generally conceded to them.
The decorations and settings
for individual stunts were very
appropriate and were tastefully ar
ranged. The girls proved good
hostesses and gave the large
number of guests a pleasant eve
ming.
