Hearing on Bail for Harry
ThaW Put By for Weeks.

Concord, N. H., Jan. 16.-There will be
no hearing on the question of bail for
Harry Kendall Thaw until the final hear
ing upon the questions involved in the
habeas corpus and extradition proceed
ings. which will put the matter by for
several weeks If not months.
This was announced in decision by
Judge Aldrieh filed with the clerk of the
United States district court for the dis
trict of New Hampshire today. The judge
also granted an extension of 20 days to
counsel for Thaw in which to file their
brief in the main case.
This brief, under the order of the court
was due early last week, but the leading
counsel for the fugitive were unable to
comply, and took advantage of sug-
gestion of the court that If their en-
eagements in court in Coos county made
II necessary, a motion for an extension
would be considered. Counsel thereupon
asked for 80 days additional time, which
has been refused and an allowance of 20
days granted. AS the state of New York
through Attorney General Carmody has
already filed it's brief 1t is probable that
the hearing in the main case and also
on the question of bail will occur early
in February.
Judge Aldrich's rescript says: Il do

was received tonight from Lieut..
Ridge1ey of the cutter Woodbury.
stating that the Woodbury. had picked
up the four -masted schooner North
land, three miles south of Matinicus
light, which is west of Penobscot bay.
Mr.. Ridgeley stated that her fore and
mizzen sails were blown away and
that she was leaking badly. Her rig
ging was considerably damaged and
her crew badly frost bitten. The
Woodbury. is towing her to Rockland.
The captain of the Northland re-
ported to Lieut.. Ridgeley that he was
in company with a five -masted schoon-
er Tuesday morning, but did not know
her name. He says that he suddenly
lost sight of her and believes she must
have foundered The Woodbury. was
returning from the Bay of Fundy.
where she had gone to the assistance
of the steamer Cobequid.
E. w. Clark of the J. S. Winslow
Co. said there was no cause for alarm
on account of the failure to be report
ed of the schooner Fuller Palmer,
which was last heard from as having
passed Highland light on Monday. The
Rebecca Palmer was reported 35 miles
off Cape Elizabeth by Capt. Lewis Of
the North Star upon arrival tonight
and she should be in before morning.
The Prescott Palmer, which was also
with the fleet, arrived at Portsmouth
tonight. Late this afternoon, Mr..
Clark sent request to the revenue

talk of receivership was rife in finan-
cial circles. Many plans were offered
for saving the road from such drastic
action, all with view of taking care in
some way of the notes falling due next
month, which were recognized as of vital
importance.
One of the plans brought forward was
the exchange of a certain amount of
, Boston & Maine stocks in the treasury
for an issue of per cent. bonds of the
Maine Central. This was recently decid-
ed not to be feasible. Several other plans
also involving the use of the Maine Cen
trail stock were brought forward only to
be rejected. Within the last few days it
was determined to ask the holders OF
the February notes to extend them, on
the ground that by such action the notes
would still continue to be legal. suffi-
cient amount to make up a good major
ity assented to the plan today.
BY certain economies in operation and
an advance in rates, the railroad mana
gers express hope of an increase in the

Plymouth, Eng, Jan. 16.-Two officers

the British submarine boat AL, are
trapped tonight in their craft beneath
the waters of White Sand bay and
about five miles southwest OF Ply

WILLIAMS WINS OUT
FOR COMPTROLLER OF
THE U. S. CURRENCY.

Washington, Jan. 16.--The nomination
of John Shelton Williams to be comp
troller of the currency was ordered fa-
vorably reported to the Senate today by
the committee on banking and currency.
The Office carries with it place on the
newly created Federal Reserve Board
and on the organization committee of
which the secretary OF the treasury and
the secretary of agriculture are other
members. Senator Reed will report the
committees decision to the Senate to-
morrow in the absence of Senator Owen.
IF a man ever proved clean bill Of
health, Mr. Williams did so,'' said Sena-
tor Reed tonight, after the committee
concluded an inquiry into Mr. Williams
conduct as assistant secretary of the
treasury in connection with recent fl
nancial furry in Washington.
The last witness before the committee
was Frank A. Munsey, head of the Mum
sey Trust Co. of Washington, who told
the committee of the deal by which the
Munsey Trust Co. recently took over the
business of the United States Trust Co.
when the latter was on the verge of fail

of the treasury deposited government

Boston, Jan. 16.--An agreement by
a majority of the holders of $10,Wo,ooo
of the notes of the Boston & Maine
Railroad due Feb. to an extension
for four months, was announced here
today. Directors of the company hope
that the minority holders Will make
the same concessions. In any event
they say that the action of the ma
iority has saved the company from
possible bankruptcy or receivership,
for the time being at least.
With ST. 900, 900 in notes coming due
on June 2, the company will have to
take care of the entire $27 100000 on
that date, but officials hope that the
balance sheet will then show improve
ment sufficient to encourage bankers
to enter some sort of a general re-
funding plan.
At the time of the issue Of $10,o0oo0O
of notes in February 1918, they were
a legal investment in Massachusetts,
as the company was paying dividends.
But when notes to the amount OF
s17, ,0O0, 900 were issued four months
later, dividends had ceased.
The stock dropped steadily until 1t
