Nabash's trouble has always been that
It's debts were too heavy for il AIRY

net income was such as to leave only
a slender margin for surplus even in good
times and IN bad times It has gone even
further into debt Thus in four az the
last ten years It's net income has run
behind IT'S fixed charges. II has been
obvious that tie only wsy tho company

HARRY THAN|
SAYS MATTEAWAN is IN SIGHT
FOR THAW IF BAIL is GRANT
ED IN CONSPIRACY CASE -.
THAW MAINTAINS QUIET.

New York, Dec. 23.-William Ira
yers Jerome was unprepared Tues
day to say when the legal machinery
for the extradition of Harry X. Thaw
from Harry X. Thaw would be put
in motion. He indicated he had rea-
son to believe that Thaw's attorneys
would start new habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in New Hampshire and he
feared it might be long time be-
fore Thaw saw the inside of the
Tombs prison, where it is planned
to keep him pending his trial on the
charge of conspiracy to escape from
the Matteawan state hospital for the
criminal insane.
1t was pointed out Tuesday to Mr..
Jerome that, once removed to the
Tombs, Thaw might be admitted to
bail.
"If he is admitted to bail" said
Mr.. jerome, 1.-The superintendent of
Matteawan will Immediately present
detainer under which Thaw will
be taken to Matteawan as an in
sane man to await his trial.
''If he is convicted, ] presume he
will serve out such sentence as is
imposed upon him, whereupon the
detainer consisting Of his original
commitment to Matteawan, having
been filed at his place of imprison-
ment, will occasion his return to
Matteawan."
Thaw's attorneys would say moth
ing about his case.

HOGS DYING FROM CHOLERA

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 23.--In sew

farmers. in attempting to inoculate
their hogs to prevent cholera have
administered the cholera virus, but
failed to follow it properly with the
serum to nullify the bad effect. In
this way they have started hog chol-
era among their hogs. causing many
thousand dollars of loss. Agents of
the state board Of agriculture are
doing their utmost to check the cpl
demic, and orders have been issued
prohibiting any but licensed veteri-
naries or government agents from

Manchester, N H., Dec. 23.-Har-
nv X. Thaw, soon will make another
fight to establish his sanity, in the
opinion of several acquaintances. The
| opportunity they confidently expect,
will be afforded when Thaw is re-
turned to New York state to answer
the indictment charging conspiracy
to escape from the insane asylum at
Matteawan.
The plans of the fugitive's counsel
is closely guarded, but 1t was init
mated Tuesday that efforts of the
New York authorities to prove Thaw
was competent to commit an illegal
act might be forced by the defense to
point where the evidence could be
used to prove that he was absolutely
sane.
1t was also suggested that a fur
ther move to delay the execution of
the order of the United States su-
preme court was within the range
of possibility, but if anything of this
sort is contemplated the plan is
known only to Thaw and his counsel.
The order for his removal is not
expected until the thirty days OF
grace permitted in such cases has
elapsed.
There was reason to believe that
the state of New York has taken
precautions against any delay in OBJ
tanning possession of the prisoner
when the order for his removal was
received. 1t is asserted by friends
of 'rhaw that several detectives in
the employ of New York state slip
ped into town during the night
and have been since closely watch
ing the Thaw home.
In one respect, Thaw has changed
markedly. He refuses absolutely to
talk about his case. For the first
time since he killed Stanford White
in 1906 he has turned deaf ear to
the newspaper men.

SUFFERFROM
EXTREME COLD
TROOPS FROM TROPICS ARE AZ
FLiCTED WITH FREEZING TOES
AND FEET IN MANY CASES
AMPUTATloN Is NECESSARY.

London, Dec. 23.-Troops from the
tropics are suffering intensely from
the cold in the Belgian trenches,
This is especially true of the Sen
galez In many cases their toes or
feet have been frozen so badly that
amputation has been necessary.
Mrs. Harry Floyd, chief commits
sioner of the French wounded emer-
gency fund who has just returned
from a visit to the French hospitals
at HaYre, LisieuX, BayeuX, Deauville
and other points, tells of the suffer
ings of the troops from the tropics.
She says also that many of the hos
pitals are badly in need of anaesthet-
les, tetanus serum, surgical instru-
ments and surgeons
in one hospital | saw Sengalez
operated upon without the use of an
anaesthetic," Mrs, Floyd said. Their
toes had been frozen and immediate
amputation was necessary.
"All the toes of one Sengalez were
removed without even a groan from
him. Suddenly, he leaned from the
operating table and began searching
for something.
Sengalez Smokes and Prays.
"The doctors and nurse could not
discover what he wanted He found
a pipe. filed it and lay down, smok-
ing to deaden the pain. Then he
began to pray in a low voice. Pres
emily the nurse offered to bring
luncheon to him but he refused. He
walked to the convalescents' table,
where he ate with his friends.
THE courage and heroism of these
men is simply beyond belief. They
never complain. They always urge
the nurses to attend to others. But
their sufferings in the cold climate
are pitiful.
BLANKETS, heavy woolen clothing
and socks are badly needed at the
hospitals and convalescents' homes
in northern France. Because of the
great number of the wounded, pa
tients are sent from the hospitals to
the convalescents' homes as rapidly
as possible, but the homes lack com
forts, and consequently the weakened
soldiers suffer intensely and their re-
covery is delayed.
Typhoid fever now seems to have
been checked, but gangrene presents
a frightful menace because of the
