II. K. THAW ORDERED
|. BACK TO new YORK
Unanimous Decision by U. S. ST..
preme Court.
MAY BE RELEASED ON BAIL
Prisoners Mental Responsibility for
Conspiracy to Escape Is Question
for State Court 20 Decide--Jer-
ONE Was Confident.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The Supreme
Harry Kendall Thaw must be deliv-
cred up to the state of New York to
be tried on the charge of conspiracy
to break out of Matteawan insane
asylum, or be recommjtted to the
asylum, or both. Thaw's fight for
liberty is therefore ended for the time
being.
Thaw is now in Manchester, N. II.
Some of the best legal talent in the
country has been fighting for months,
to prevent his extradition to New
York. EXtradition was ordered by
the governor of New. Hampshire, but
Federal District Judge Aldrich grant
ed Thaw a writ of habeas corpus. This
action of the court was reversed by
the Supreme court.
Courts Decision Unanimous.
The decision of the court was unani-
nous and was read by Justice Holmes.
1t held that the writ of habeas corpus
did not lie and sustained the conten-
every point. Thaw cannot be taken
back for 80 days under the decision.
Thirty days must elapse before the
courts mandate is handed down and
he cannot be removed to New York
before that time.
State Must Make Next Move.
The next move in the case is for
the New York authorities to take. 1t
has been said that the state does not
intend to prosecute Thaw, but will rec
turn him at once to Matteawan. If
this is done Thaw will have grounds
for appeal to the federal court for
writ of habeas corpus. This was indi-
Gated by Chief Justice White during
the arguments on the constitutionality
Of the Thaw commitment a week ago.
On the other hand if he is prosecuted
for conspiracy the belief exists here
that he will likely get a short SEN
tence and then go free.
May Return to Matteawan.
New York, Dec. 22.-Harry X. Thaw
must go back to Matteawan.
The unanimous decision of the Su-
preme court of the United States in
the New Hampshire eXtradition pro-
ceedings orders the return of the
murderer of Stanford White to New
York on the indictment charging him
with conpracy in connection with his
escape from the asylum on August
u, 1913.
The state authorities had not made
up their minds at this time what &C
ton they would take.
Jerome Confident of Success.
A tentative plan of campaign has
already been laid out. however. For
mer District Attorney Jerome, who
has conducted the long fight against
Thaw, said:
Il expected nothing less And | eX-
pect nothing less now than the ulti-
mate return of Thaw to Matteawan."
"Will Thaw be tried on the con-
spiracy Indictment !" he was asked.
THAT is a matter for the attorney
general to decide" he said. But
assume he will deem it wise that
Thaw be tried inasmuch as he has
been extradited for the offense of con
spiracy."
Can he then be admitted to bail?"
was asked
"Of COURSE" was the reply But if
he Is the superintendent of Mattea-
wan will then present detainer I'M
der which Thaw will be taken to Mat
teawan as an insane man to await
his trial "

Department Readjusting Railway
Mail Schedules on Roads Reduc-
ing Operating Expenses.

In answer to the action of many Of
the railroads throughout the country
which are reducing their train service,
the Post Office Department. through Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General Stew
art, who has the situation in charge, is
preparing to readjust the railway mail
service.
Several railroads out of Chicago already
have eliminated their early morning
trains, and Mr.. Stewart said yesterday
he understands that most trains to be
stopped by the various roads are to be of
this character. Resulting difficulty in
delivering the early morning editions Of
newspapers will be met by arrangements
TO have the papers carried on interurbah
electric roads or on competing railroads.
Where trains ordinarily carrying rail-
way post offices are eliminated. Mr.. Stew
art said, the cars will be attached to
other trains. and where it is found nee
essary TO take away any large quantity
of mail from railroad the allowance
from the Post Office Department to that
road will be reduced.
