HARRY THAW LOSES AT LAST
U. 8. Supreme Court Says He Must
Return to New York.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Harry X.
Thaw lost his fight in the Supreme
Court of the United States to-day
against being extradited from New
Hampshire to New York The court
held that the celebrated prisoner
should be turned over Immediately
to the New York authorities to an
swer an Indictment for conspiring to
escape from 'Matteawan asylum.
Whether his escape while, as his
counsel contended, he was insane,
constituted a crime, and other uues-
tions, the court dismissed with the
comment that hey could not enter
into habeas corpus proceeding and
that they were questions for the
State Of Now York to decide.
Actually, the celebrated Thaw case
the killing of Stanford White
was not before the court. Merely the
question Of returning him on the
conspiracy question was up for de-
cision.
What other moves, If any, were
open to Thaw's counsel to prevent his
return to the State where he was
twice tried and made many futile
efforts to be released, those familiar
with the legal procedure were at a
loss to forecast.
To those who have followed the
case 1t seemed that the fight against
returning to New York was lost and
thai nothing remained but for the
sheriff Of Coosa county, New Hamp-
shire, to turn Thaw over 10 New
York officers upon the extradition
which was granted by the Governor
of New Hampshire, but stayed by the

UNEMPLOYED MOB MAKES RAID,
Seize Lunch Roo 1 and Market Place
in Seattle, Wash.

Seattle, WASH, Dec. 18.-Two
hundred unemployed men terrorized
the patrons and proprietors OF a
dairy lunch room last night by
marching into the place and forcibly
taking all the food in sight. After
wards they paraded the downtown
streets to a market place, where
they seized everything editible with

and placed in three large cells at the
city Jail kicked the plaster off the
walls and broke all the windows.
Then volley of the pieces Of plaster
brought the big gas light globes
crashing to the floor, leaving the cor
ridor in darkness.
The men said they had agreed not
to go to the municipal home for men
without jobs because they would be
required to cut wood, mop the floors
and cook.
The mob formed on Washington
street and dragged an express wagon
through the streets bearing placards
advertising their state of unemploy-
ment. The men arrested offered In

GREAT TRAGEDY
BEHIND CURTAIN
CONTINUED from Page II

E.
British always have been
ready for them and have TAX
en- q terrible toll for their
losses. Steadily, yard BY
yard, as though in a gigantic
football game, the British line
has gained. It's front is a
mass of dead and wounded
Germans. The torn and tram
pied ground is covered by the
invaders who have felt the ac-
curacy Of British rifle fire and
the angry weight Of British
bayonets.
All week the battle has been
carried on in the rain. The
cold, formal language of the
official statement today, en-
phasized the weather condi-
lions.
Weather is bad and it is
raining continuously, . it
said. But the officers who
know exactly what is going on
declare this merely hints at
the situation. The trenches on
both sides are simply filed
with water. The troops must
lie in them. The German guns
command every foot Of, the
territory extending along the
battle front Of nearly one
hundred miles. The trees that
afforded cover have been shot
away in many instances. There
below the surface of the
ground, in water to their
knees, their drenched uni
forms clinging to their bodies,
the 6I1tlS0 forces are 0OgoQly
continuing their work.
The British field artillery is
doing remarkable execution,
all reports say, but up to the
present moment, there has not
been any evidence Of an i'm
pending shift. The Germans
are constantly replenishing
their ranks with fresh troops
brought from the rear. How
long this can continue is prob
lematical. The French can add
to their strength at least as
long as the Germans and they
have the advantage Of being
far closer to their base.
