habeas corpus for Harry K. Thaw,
thereby inquiring into the motive Of
the State of New York in the pro-
ceeding to have him extradited, was
filed here yesterday by Mr.. Jacobs,
acting for the State of New York.
The brief points out that Thaw's
indictment in New York was not for
escaping nor for conspiring to COM
nit a crime but for "a conspiracy
to pervert and obstruct justice and
due administration of law" and that
such a conspiracy is a crime. The
escape from Matteawan is only one

NEW ENGLAND LOOKING UP
Her Investors Feel That the
Worst Has Befallen Them.
BY THOMPSON. TowLE 4 60.

Nineteen hundred and thirteen was a
dismal year for New England investors.
There have been comparatively few Of
their pet investment issues that have not
shown a large decline. The drop In New
Haven and Boston 4 Maine has Of
course been the most serious, but TO these
are added serious losses IN New England
mill stocks. IN Boston Elevated, I'm Amerl-
can Telephone, Western Union and other
issues largely held in New England.
The outlook for 1914 IS. however. much
more propitious. New England investors
feel that the worst is behind them and
that the III fortune that has befallcn them
I'm 1918 is a silver lining behind the cloud
Of promised good fortune in 1871.
1t seems TO be common opinion among
New England investors that despite the
blow they have suffered favorable eXpoc-
tatons may safely he entertained regard

as . matter Of history.

WELDING RING ON
OUR EXPORT TRADE
Its Improvement Depends
on Easier Money All Over
the World, He Says.
BY WELDING RING,
Chairman of the Committee on Export Of
the Chamber of Commerce.
be export trade is very quiet.

The export trade is very quiet
Whether or not export conditions will
improve much in the next six months or
so is difficult to say. There are many un-
settling questions and much difference OF
opinion about the result of the important
matters which are now such a strong
factor. The currency bill, which is TO be
signed within a week or so, is one item
over which there is dispute.
Exporting depends entirely at present
on the probability Of easier money condi-
lions all over the world. South America,
both the east and west coast Africa, Aus
tralia and the large countries of Europe
are all trying 20 borrow money, and Eng
land and France are the only two coun-
tries. practically. which can be lenders.
1t is easy to see that If the demand for
money exceeds the amount the lenders are
willing TO supply, the expansion OF busi-
ness and consequently, the export trade
will be hindered.
The export steel trade is one OF our
largest and In this it is impossible for
US TO compete in Europe. with England
and Germany especially Germany has
reduced prices very sharply and We are
not vet ready to meet them. While the
steel trade has no direct influence on other
business, Il is an indication OF the ccndi-
ton OF the trade. We in this country
were disappointed that the tariff reduction
did not bring much larger imports. In
stead, imports have fallen off. II Europe
and South America have not large credit
balances with us 1t necessarily Will affect
our exports TO other countries.
In South America Brazil especially is
IN bad condition. For two years she
had suffered from lack Of money as re-
suit of the drop in the rubber and coffee
markets. AS a result her Improvements
have been at standstill. the local mer-
chants are doing less business and. Of
course. are not ordering in large guam
titles from this country. The Argentine
went through similar conditions, but is In
better position 10 buy now.
Australia must be considered in regard
TO our exports. Formerly we were almost
the only country exporting wheat. but this
year Australia will have los, 000.0 600 bush
els OF wheat for export. This large
amount also will defect part Of the ex-
port business 10 Australia.

M'CUTCHEON'S FORECAST
Give Us Good Crops and the
Country Ought to Prosper.
BY JAMES MCUTCHEON

The last year has not been what you
would call prosperous. The figures snow
It. A look at the monthly review oil
trade conditions will prove that 1t mas
not come up TO other years in the volume
of business done. But there are reasons
and good ones.
In the first place, there was new al
ministration. There was also a ne"
tariff. There was the agitation about the
currency When the country gets ad-
justed TO these new conditions things
will improve / do not agree with those
who say that the worst is yet to come.
Nearly everything-a great deal at any
rate-depends on the crops. II our crops
are bad for the coming year we shall
suffer- no matter how the government IS
run. This year the crops were not as
bad as some people would have us be-
lieve. II they keep up to that standard
next year there is no reason why the
country should not enjoy as prosperous
times as il has in the past.
