'rHAW MAY AGAIN ATTEMPT
TO PROVE THAT HE is SANE
By associated Press


Manchester, \. H.. Dec. 22.-Harry
X. Thaw soon will make another fight
to establish his sanity, in the opinion
of several acquaintances. The oppor-
tunity. they confidently expect, will
be afforded when Thaw is returned to
New York to answer the indictment
charging conspiracy to escape from
the insane asylum.
1t was intimated o-day that the eff
forts of the New York authorities to
prove Thaw was competent to commit
an Illegal act might be forced by the
defense TO 2 point where the evidence
could be used to prove that he was
absolutely sane. Thaw. it was said.
was constantly in touch with his chief
counsel. former Secretary of State p.
c. Knox. who was at his country home
at Valley Forge, Pa, to-day. Thaw's
secretary intimated that Mr.. Knox
might come to Manchester.
II was also suggested that a fur
ther move to delay the execution of the
order of the United States Supreme
Court for the removal of Thaw to
New York was within the range of pos
sibility, 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
much cases has elapsed.
Thaw was enjoying to-day the same
restricted liberty that has been his
since he was placed in the custody of
Sheriff Holman Drew, of Coos county.

nounced to-day that an agreement had
been reached between Rumania and
Bulgaria under which Rumania will

war.
This agreement has been reached

nected with the Bulgarian Ministry
We shall continue to be neutral and
believe that Rumania, although she
has no cause to fear us, also will re-
main neutral

fear of Bulgaria alone had prevented
RGDlania from invading Austria and
entering the war on the side of the
allies.

New York. Dec. William Trav-
ers Jerome was unprepared to-day to
say when the legal machinery for the
eXtradition of Harry X. Thaw from
New Hampshire would be put in mo-
tion. He indicated that he has reason
to believe that Thaw's attorneys would
start habeas corpus proceedings in New
Hampshire and that he feared it
might be a long time before Thaw

was excessive and that his family
needed him, the point being made
that the punishment had already been
very heavy. Mr.. Riley. who was
prosecutor when the case was tried,
ground that the offenses were very
serious and that the community did
not want the pardon. The case will
be determined tonight.

president of the Kings Daughters of

was opposed by District Attorney Har-
ris L. Sproat, and for David Wilkinson,
horse stealing, Delaware county. Will
kinson is but s years of age and it
seems tried to sell the horse to a
brother of Judge Butler. Mrs. Derby
said that his sentence of from three to
six years was too severe for youth
and remarked that the longer some
persons stay in penitentiaries the
worse theY get and that often such
institU ms are colleges for crime.
