THAW'S FIGHT
FOR LIBERTY IS
IN COURT TODAY
al by United Press Wire.

Special bY Uftted Press Wire.
Washington, Oct 12:-Renewal of
his fight for liberty by Harry X.
Thaw was one of the most dramatic
and important cases facing the Su-
preme Court when 1t reconvened to-
day for the 1914-15 sessions.
Thaw's appeal from the decision of
the New Hampshire federal court re-
fusing to set him at complete liberty
upon a habeas corpus plea was on the
docket of the court.
Application to advance the case for
early hearing this fall or winter from
Thaw's counsel was expected soon. In
case would not be reached for a year
or more. Thaw is now technically in
custody of the U. s. marshal
for New Hampshire, following his
fight from Matteawan asylum. One
of the last acts of the Supreme Court
before it adjourned last spring was
refusing requests of Thaw to be re-
leased on bail pending hearing of his
appeal and a permit to go to Pitts
burg to testify in litigation affecting
the estate of his father, the late Will
liam Thaw.
Former Governor William Stone,
of Pennsylvania. is Thaw's chief at
torney. 1t is believed here that Will
liam Travers Jerome, popularly
called Thaw's nemesis" and the at
torney general of New York, will op-
pose any move looking to advance
ment of Thaw's appeal to block in
any way his long effort to make good
for all time his escape from Mattea-

GREATER PART OF
FLEEING TROOPS
SAFE IN 0SIEND

Special BY United Press Wire.
London, Oct. 12.-News that the
greater part of the Belgian and
British troops defenders of Ant
werp, had arrived safely at Ostend,
avoiding forced march, the encir-
cling German movement, was re-
ceived here with great satisfaction.
1t is accepted, however, that at least
5000 British and Belgian troops, the
rear of the retreating Antwerp army,
we're cut off and have entered Hol-
land, where they will be interned.
Military experts here anticipate in
the near future an attack in force
by the Germans on the Anglo-FrenCh
lines between Bruges and Tourinar.
General Won Beseler's force of prob
ably 10000 men, those who form
ed the army of attack on Antwerp,
it is expected, will shortly swing in
south westerly direction, seeking a
junction with General Won Boehm S
column. In the meanwhile there is
every indication that Won Boehm s
force is pushing forward, swinging
like an arm, with its stationary base
about Mons. The conflict, believed
to be impending, will come across
the River Lys. The Germans Will
attempt to sweep forward from there
seeking to drive before them into the
North sea the Eranco-Belgium- Brit
ish forces concentrated at Ostend.

Peleszak, of 375 Grove street, was
disem boweled with sharp pocket
knife in a deserted field in the Buda-
pest section, shortly before midnight.
The stabbed man was left to die,
and was only discovered through his
loud meanings, by residents at a
house some distance away, who were
sitting up all night with the corpse
of a baby. Peleszak after five and

PREPARES
To STRIKE FOR
ALLIED FORCES
Special by United Press Wire.


Paris, Oct. 12-A Naples dispatch
says that twenty Italian transport
ships, heavily escorted by the Italian
naval feet sailed today to bring back
the Italian troops now in Tripoli and
Cyrenaica. Their places will be
taken by volunteer corps just form
ed in Italy.
Although the return of troops
from Lydia is ostensibly due to the
fact that their term of enlistment
has expired, the movement is uni
versally accepted in Italy as one of
the steady preparations being made
by the Italian government for partic-
ipation in the present war. Should
Italy take possession of Trieste and
Prient, as it is confldentially expect
ed she will do, joining the allies, she
would thus have 100000 more train
ed soldiers than otherwise, the troops
being brought back to Tripoli being
still subject to military duty under
a general mobilization.
Italy's precautionary mobiliza-
ton" now consists of about 500, 900
soldiers. These comprise all the
military units that would be employ
ed in a war against Austria. The
task of these troops is to make prop
arations necessary for the filing out
of war strength of all the units the
instant general mobilization is
ordered.
1t is not considered likely that
with this preparation Italy will order
the mobilization of any more troops
until the actual moment that the en-
tire Italian military strength may he
called out for active participation IN
the war.

New Brunswick, Oct. 12.-After
six hours of deliberation, Thomas

charge of manslaughter, and the
death of John Borkus, also OF Perth
Amboy. kamyk, who is the one
armed assistant dog catcher In Perth
Amboy, to Dog Catcher Arthur Mu-
rish. admitted he hit and killed Bor-
kus Wednesday morning, September

upon by Borkus and his friends, who
endeayored to assault the dog catch
ers because a pet dog had been put
into the wagon. Kamyk pleaded self

later took about the case.
The case went to the jury at noon
Saturday, but no return was made
until almost $50 o'clock Saturday
evening. Judge DAILY was then call
ed. and received the jurymen. Court

and left the county jail at once to
spend Saturday evening with friends

1t Is needless to say that former
Judge Charles T. Cowenhoven, who
was assigned by the court, put up a
brilliant defense for the prisoner. No
stone was left unturned by the law
yer, or Judge Daily, or even Assistant
Prosecutor John A. Coan, who ap-
peared for the state, to give the dog
catcher a fair trial. Many in court
expressed the opinion before the case
went to the jury that Mr.. Coan would
be especially successful II con-
yiction was obtained. 1t was Mr.

Many expressed surprise at the spa
cious and comfortable headquarters
and the spirit generally manifested
was one of enthusiasm. The work
ers believe that the success of Sat
urday's event will be a big factor in
arousing the public to a spirit oi
helpfulness that will greatly aid
them in the final campaign to clear
up the obligations on the furnish
ing fund and allow the opening of

The money still continues to come
in, and although the progress may
seem slow, the amount marked

gruelling game in the history of a
worlds series on Saturday the Ath-
letics and Braves realize today that
the fight for the baseball champion
