CHEER THAW
IN THE COURT
THIS MORNING
Unusual Demonstration as
Prisoner is Brought Before
Judge in the Proceedings
FIRST VICTORY SC0RED
FOR THAW.

Special BY United Press Wire.
Sherbrooke, Quebec, August II
The most remarkable demonstration
ever witnessed In court OF justice
In Canada, took place here TO-DAY.
Harry X. Thaw, slayer of Stanford
White, was cheered to the echo as
he sat In open court and the cheers
went without rebuke from Judge
Globensky, who had Just granted
Thaw the preliminary victory in his
fight for liberty. Thaw was In court
so his lawyers could have their ap-
pIication for writ of habeas corpus
dismissed. The attorneys for New
York, headed by William I. Jerome,
demanded that they be heard. They
insisted that the committee magis-
trate had erred in his action In send
ing Thaw to jail. They suggested
eh might be liable for damages for
false arrest.
When Attorney Jacobs, chief of
the New York legal battery, started
to explain his position he was re-
buked by the court.
"You have no standing here said
the Judge. This is an exparte mat
ter and only Mr.. Thaw and his law
yers can be heard.
There will be no entry of OBJ
1ections made" he ruled. You
have no place in this proceedings. "
With the word young girl, mag
nificently garbed in black shouted In
thrill voice, "Hurrah for Canada
1t has equal justice for all" The
effect was electrical. From every
section of the room came roar OF
sounds which swept out on the
streets and was caught up and car
ried back by the crowd there which
had been unable to get into the court
room. The cheering continued for
five minutes while Judge Globensky
waited to announce that he would
render his decision at o'clock and
whether he would permit the ThaW
lawyers to withdraw their applica'
ton for the writ.

Announcement is
Made Today in
WASHINGTON
TO RUN AGAIN

While County Clerk Bernard NJ.
Cannon persists in declaring that he
has not made up his mind regarding
the appointment as collector of in
ternal revenue, word was received in
this city from Washington today that
Mr., Cannon had decided not to ac-
cept the appointment rendered him
by President Wilson. Mr.. Cannon,
1t seems, sent letter to that effect
to Congressman Thomas j. Scully
yesterday in which he gave his final
decision. Mr.. Cannon says that Mid
dlesex county holds too dear place
in his heart for him to desert it now
and the indications are that he will
seek reelection as county clerk next
year.
The news that reached this city
today from Washington was in the
form of an article intended for publi-
cation and is as follows:
washington, Aug. 27:-Bernard
M. Cannon, county clerk of Middle
sex, has at last decided not to accept
the nomination for collector of in
ternal revenue for the northern dis
trict of New Jersey, rendered TO him
by President Wilson. Representative
Thomas j. Scully. who was Mr.. GAN
mons sponsor for the place, an1'
nounced today that he had received
letter from his candidate yesterday
! giving his final decision to that effect.
'I am sorry that Mr.. Cannon has
not seen his way to accept" said Mr..
| Scully. II have known for some
| time that he was disinclined to take
the place, but have kept hoping that
he would finally accede to the wishes
Of his friends In Washington. But
apparently the home folks have the
| last word with him. Mr.. Gannon's
Democratic friends in Middlesex
county have always advised him
against taking the place, and many
IRepublioans and Progressiyes have
Joined with them in that advice, !
think the thing that finally clinched
! his decision was the attitude of the
twelve hundred-odd Democrats who
Joined in the Middlesex county DEM
ocratic outing last week. They just
surrounded him and insisted that if
he left them they would feel that he
was turning his back on them.
"Mr. Cannon, l understand, Will
be candidate for reelection as
county clerk next year. Mr.. Cannon
appreciated the compliment involved
| In the tender of the office, and the
| fact that he could accept 1t without
a financial sacrifice had nothing to
| do with his decision"

VOTERS FROM ALL PARTIES HEAR
EDMUND B. 0SBORNE'S PLATFORM
Opponent Of Everett [. Colby for
Progressive Nomination for Cover
nor Addresses Attentive Audience
GEORGE [. RECORD GIVES TALK

Though handicapped by his vocal
cords which have been strained in
thirty days of campaigning for the
nomination on the Progressive tick
ct for governor, Edmund B. Os-
borne held the attention of a crowd
of nearly 200 voters from all parties
in this city, when he addressed an
open air meeting for half an hour at
Smith and King streets last night.
He declared that he was as widely
different In his platform compared
with that of Everett L. Colby, as
the north is from the south. He cited
the fact that the platform of Mr..
Colby did not include municipal own
ership OF public utilities, exemption
Of buildings from taxation, and the
recall of public officials who are
found to be delinquent in their du-
ties. Applause was frequent during
his speech and when he had conclud-
ed the crowd of listeners gave him
a hearty ovation.
Mr.. Osborne on being introduced
by James q. Griswold, who acted as
chairman Of the meeting, launched
right into the heart of his platform,
declaring that 1t for the frst time In
the history Of political parties en-
bodied the new issue of presenting a
solution for the high cost of living.
He declared this to be the keynote
and the condensed essence of his
whole platform. He asserted that
finally after ten years of laborious
work the bosses Of the state had been
overthrown through the primary law,
which gives the people the right Of
choice of candidates to run on the
respective party tickets. Now If we
do not do something" he continued,

the county ticket will be completed.
At present there is one vacancy on

Republican Club of this city will
meet tomorrow night and indorse a
city ticket without fail and probably,
one for the county and state.

Republican organization in the coun-
ty and the vacancies will be filled
within few days.
In the city, Harry r. Wilson, presi-
dent of the Young Mems Republican

John Anderson In the fourth, and
Frank Stas in the sixth, although nc
official information has been received

the whole government In the hands
of the bosses as before. He added
that 1t is getting more and more diff
ficult for the working man to make
a comfortable living in reasonably
easy manner.
Mr.. Osborne declared that the So
luton of the whole problem of re-
ducing the high cost of living law is
the abolition of the system In the
state whereby certain sets of individ-
uals are getting money without CIV
ing any return and the poor devils"
who earn the money are receiving
nothing, or practically nothing for
their labors of production. II pro-
pose," he said, that we enact legis-
lation that will take away all the
visible ways by which the man who
does not earn, takes away from the
fruits OF the labors of his fellow
man, without giving anything In re-
turn"
He laid stress on the two reforms
set forth in his platform which he
contended would eradicate the
class who always take what they
have not earned, giving nothing in
return. One of these. he declared
to be In enacting legislation which
would give the municipality the
privilege of taking over, owning, op-
Grating for It's advantage the trolley,
electric light, gas and water utili-
ties. The other thing he said was
the giving of privilege to the munic-
ipality to abolish all taxes on build
ings, so that industry would not be
penalized."

President Wilson Reads His
Special Message to Congress
With Recommendations.
PREVENT SHIPMENT OF
WAR MATERIAL

Special by United Press Wire.
Washington, Aug. 27:-President
Wilson today appeared before a
joint session Of congress and read
his Mexican message which advised:
That all Americans be earnestly
urged to leave Mexico at once; that
Mexico be informed summary pun
ishment will be made il American
lives are outraged; that he deems
1t his duty to let the various Mexi-
can factions fight out their troubles;
that he must prohibit the shipment
of arms to both federals and rebels
to insure strict neutrality by the
United States. Failure of the ne
gotiations of Special Envoy Lind
was reported by the President, but
he said the door is not closed to
resumption of peace overtures.
The President regards the situa-
tion as critical. His address breath
ed friendship for the Mexican people
but extreme pessimism as to the out
look for immediate restoration of
peace, because of President Huerta' s
rejection of the mediation plans.
''It is clearly my duty to lay be-
fore you, fully and without reserva-
tion," said the President, "the facts
concerning our present relations
with the republic of Mexico. The
deplorable posture of affairs ] need
not describe, but / deem it my duty
to speak very frankly what this
government should seek to do in
fulf1llment of its obligations to
Mexico herself as friend and neigh
Dor, and to the American citizens
whose lives and vital interests are
daily affected by the distressing con-
ditions which now obtain beyond our
southern border.
J Meanwhile" he said "It is our
, duty to do everything free of inn
patience and with calm and disin-
| terested deliberation. We can af-
ford to exercise the self restraint of
a really great nation which realizes
Its own strength and scorns to use
it. 1t was our duty to offer our act
i've assistance. 1t Is now our duty
to show what true neutrality will dc
in Mexico to get their affairs in
order again and walt for further
opportunity to offer our friendly
counsel. The door is not closed
against the resumption, either upon
| the initiative of Mexico or upon our
| own of the effort to bring order out
of the confusion by friendly coop
Grafton action. should fortunate oc-
| casion offer
I'VE should earnestly urge all
Americans to leave Mexico at once
and should assist them to get away
in every way possible. Not because
to do so should mean to slacken in
the least our efforts to safeguard
their lives and their interests, but
| because 1t Is imperative that they
should take no unnecessary risk
when 1t Is physically possible to
leave the country. We should lei
| every one who assumes to exercise
authority in any part of Mexico know
| in the most unequivocal way that
we shall vigilantly watch the for
tunes Of those Americans who can
not get away, and hold those respon-
sible for their sufferings and losses
to definite reckoning"

Vera Cruz, August .27.-Special
Envoy Lind, from the United States
today remained In the Terminal ho-
tel, awaiting Instructions. He was
prepared either to start back to
Washington or retrace his steps to
Mexico City.
He knew of Freign Ministers Gam
boa's latest statement, construed to
mean that Mexico desires to reopen
negotiations. But General Nuerta
had not asked Lind to return nor has
Washington indicated, as far as could
be learned here, what Lind's next
move would be. The envoy and his
wife, when they arrived here last
night, explained that they were very
tired and asked to be excused from
whatever entertainment or confer
ences might have been planned.

Taxation Law Question

Whether the initiative measure
passed by the people eXemptine
household goods from taxation is
constitional is doubtful, but un-
til the court hold it is invalid il
should be enforced. Under this
exemption assessments made on
household goods for 1912 cannot
be collected.
This is the substance of an
opinion of our Attorney General
Crawford, given in reply to the
questions submitted by the state
tax commission. The question
raised was whether the repeal at
the recent election of Section A
of Article 93, of the Constitution,
this being the county single tax
amendment, and failure of adopt
ing two other amendments to the
constitution governing taxation,
did not make the household eX-
emptions law unconstitutional.
