THAW LOSES FIGHT
IN SUPREME COURT
Unanimous Opinion Holds Slayer OF
Stanford White Must Return
To New York.

Harry X Thaw lost his fight today
in the Supreme Court OF the United
States against being extradited from
the State Of New Hampshire TO the
State Of New York.
In a brief decision by Justice
Holmes, which was the unanimous de-
cision OF the court, it was held that
the celebrated prisoner should be
turned over at once 10 the New York
authorities TO answer an indictment
charging conspiracy 10 escape from
Matteawan Asylum for the Criminal
Insane
Whether his escape from the
asylum. while, as his counsel contend
ed, he was insane, constituted q crime,
and other questions, the court dis
missed with the comment that they
could not enter into a habeas corpus
proceedings, and that they were pro-
per questions for the State OF New
York TO decide.
Actually the celebrated Thaw case
the killing OF Stanford White-was
not before the Supreme Court Merely
the question of returning Thaw on
the conspiracy indictment was up for
decision.
What other moves, if any, were op-
en- TO Thaw's counsel to prevent his
return to the State where he was
twice tried and had made many futile
efforts to be released, those familiar
with the legal procedure were at a
loss to forecast.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER ., 1914.

The CITIZEN extends to It's readers,
its friends. and the public generally its
heartie,t and best wishes for happy
Christmas and prosperous New Year.
The past year has been one Of the most
momentous in history, and the chroni
elers Of the events Of 1914 will have
many facts and figures to analyze and
comment upon. For the American peo-
pie new doctrines have been inaugurated
new laws passed for the supposed better
ment of the people and the nation.
For many countries of the old world
cruel war was started and is now in pro-
gress, evolving in its deadly embrace
some Of tbs iairest portions and the
bravest peoples of the world. This
cruel contest will continue over into the
New Year, aud. how long it will last
no mind can conceive or tell With the
Christmas blessings and good cheer in
the lands of peaceful peoples, there
should 20 up to the Throne on High
prayers for peace to soon come to save
those engaged in it almost utter annihi-
lation. Millions Of people and millions
Of dollars will be sacrificed to the God of
War the same as fagots are fed to the
flaming furnace, and forever, or as long
as any Of US who now live, can remem.
Der will each and everyone of them pay
financial and melancholy tribute to
these troublesome times.
For ourselves we hope and pray for
peace and prosperity and plenty for each
and all Of us by adhering to the strict
neutrality program outlined by our wor-
thy President; and by strictly attending
to business and our other daily affairs.
we can conserve that spirit Of amity and
constructiveness 50 necessary to national
progress. The signs of the times point
to continued improvements here all along
the line, and naturally advantage will be
taken Of unfortunate conditions abroad
which are bound to help our manufac-
turers and our general field of business
America stands forth to every nation as
beacon light Of liberty, peace and pro
gress, and every citizen should keep alive
that spirit forever. May Santa Claus
fill our stockings with good things ga
lore, and may the Holidays be repIete
with pleasure and happiness.

ImmunitY OF Children

Professor Armbruster asserts that
the reason very young children are
relatively immune to infectious dis
eases is that their hearts beat SO
much more rapidly than those of old
er persons that the blood flows swiftly
through the arteries; and this swift
ness OF flow makes it difficult for
mlcro-organisms to gain foothold in
the blood stream.
