U. s. TO SELL EMPHASIZES. Idaho and Mississippi are to Go t,
 Greece.

Washington, June 2.-The senate amended the naval appropriation bill so as to authorize the sale of the bat tleships Idaho and Mississippi and the construction of modern dreadnought with the money. Greece is understood to be the prospective purchaser.
 Explaining the plan of the govern ment, Senator Lodge informed the senate that if the authorization were made it was expected European country would offer to buy the two vessels at their cost or more. He added that the vessels were of 13,O0C tons each, while the latest battleships were of 3O,0OO tons.
 "These boats, completed in 1908, are useless now" remarked Senator Thomas of Colorado. ''The boats we are building now will be obsolete in 1919."
 "Oh, mo-" responded Senator Lodge These vessels are not useless; they are splendid ships, but it is believed one larger vessel is more desirable for us"
 Senator Lane of Oregon suggested that in 1919 the United States would be buying back the smaller vessels be- cause the large ones will be too easy mark for airship bombs.

FINAL MOVE IN
 TAAW'S FIGHT
 sS New York Attorneys File Records in Appeal to Supreme Court.

Washington, June 2.--The final move in the ten years fight of Harry Kendall Thaw to regain his freedom, came today in the supreme court.
 Attorney General Carmody of New York, acting through Sheriff Drew of Coos county, New Hampshire, called custodian, filed records of the hear ings before Federal Judge Aldrich of New Hampshire preliminary to an ap- peal to set aside the decision of the judge that Thaw could not be extra dited from New Hampshire to New York as. ordered by Governor Felker of New Hampshire. Thaw's lawyers are expected to petition the supreme court or Associate Justice Holmes to admit Thaw to immediate bail, pend ing decision by the supreme court of the appeal. Judge Aldrich refused Thaw bail when he certified the ap- peal to the supreme court. Bail will give Thaw his freedom and immunity from arrest by New York state au thorities should he enter into their jurisdiction.
 Judge Aldrich filed on May 8 his final decree preventing the extradi- tion of Thaw. The appeal was entered promptly and since then Thaw's law yers have rushed work in preparing the record for the supreme court. William Travers Jerome and Attorney General Carmody making the Oappeal, have not evidenced like haste.
 While the record has arrived there has been no brief filed in the appeal.

Primary a Rich Mans Game.

Lawrence, Kans., July 13.-Bur
E. Brown, Democratic candidate fol
the nomination for secretary of state
has withdrawn.
In letter to w. H. L. Pepperill
chairman of the state committee, Mr..
Brown gives three reasons for his
action. The first is, he says, that
under the existing primary law "a
poor man is practically barred from
asking the nomination for any office.
Especially is this true where one has
any opposition. Sometimes Il am
constrained to think that the framer
of this law had sinister motives in
placing it in the statutes in its present
form. l firmly believe that the, office
should seek the man, rather than the
man seek the office. Two years ago
/ was asked to make the race for Sec
retary of state, but this year l have
opposition and l am not financially
able to make two campaigns"
Mr.. Browns other reasons are that
his opponent is financially able to
make more thorough campaign and
that in the interests of harmony be-
lieves it better to withdraw.
