Order Returning Slayer to Asylum
Affirmed by the New York
Appellate Court.

New York. April Hilary Kendall
Thaw was today ordered back to the
state hospital for the criminal insane
at Matteawan by the appellate divis-
ion of the New York Supreme Court.
In an opinion concurred in by all, the
justices, the court affirmed the denial
by Supreme Court Justice Page of a
motion to return Thaw to the juris-
diction of the state of New Hamp-
shire, whence he was extradited to
stand trial for conspiring to escape
from the Matteawan Asylum, and
ruled that the original order commit
ting him to the institution was still
valid. Plans are now being formulat-
ed to take the case to the state court
Of appeals.
n The court held that In returning in
voluntarily to this Jurisdiction Thaw
was subject to no promise or induce
ment, and that New Hampshire had
only done the duty expected Of it
when it returned him to New York to
answer for a crime for which he had
been indicted.

THEY ASK U. s. TO INTERVENE
Missionaries in China Declare Japan
csc Demands Constitute a Grave
Menace to America.

Picking, April 19.-Intervention by
the United States in the negotiations
now proceeding between China and
Japan is recommended to President
Wilson in the appeal recently sent to
him by American missionaries in this
country. The message was one of
5000 words and was forwarded to
Washington by cable. It characterizes
the Japanese demands on China Is
acts of aggression such as eventually
will present a menace to the United
States. Recalling the fact that Japan
has at present IN this country t0ubto
her usual quota of troops amounting
to 10000 men) the missionaries urge
that Japan be notified that the excess
of troops should be removed.
The understanding here is that q
Chinese official, or several of them,
paid the cable charges, amounting to
nearly $4,000. on the message to Pres
ident Wilson.

Diver Walks on Top of the F-4.

Honolulu. April 15.-Chief Gun
ner's Mate Frank Crilley went 2S8
feet under water here today and
walked along the top Of the subma-
rine F.4, which disappeared March
Is. The depth is said by naval Off
GERS to be worlds diving record.
He found the F-4 lying in smooth,
sandy bottom with no coral growth to
impede hosting operations. She lay
tilted on her starboard side, her bow
pointing shoreward. Two parted
lines were found attached to the craft.
After Crilly reported it was said
further observations probably would
be made before an attempt is made to
raise the F-4.
Crilley was under the water two
hours. It took five minutes for him
to make the descent and he was on
the bottom twelve minutes. An hour
and forty-five minutes was required
to bring him to the surface in order
to accustom him gradually to the
change in air pressure.

Many Join Missouri Lodges.

Jefferson City, April 17.-That
often there is something in the ex-
cuse offered by man to his wife in
accounting for his failure to come
home until the wee hours of the
morning that he had to sit up with
sick and dying lodge brother, is
demonstrated by information impart-
ed in a Bureau of Labor Statistics
bulletin given publicity today by
Commissioner John T. Fitzpatrick
which announces that in 1914 one
hundred and seven state and inter-
state fraternal and benevolent organ
izations has fully 10000 lodges in
Missouri with a total membership,
men and women, of 7O9, 8O5. At the
rate of increase most such organiza-
tons were experiencing last summer,
fall and winter, it is safe to say that
the million mark will be passed some
time next year. While the figures
are large enough to suggest that
every married man and woman in
Missouri, more than Is years old, is
a member of some fraternal organi-
zation, such however, is not the case.
Many men and women belong to
three or four organizations and some
to more.

Order for $4,000 Mules

A new order for war mules from
the English government has been re-
ceived forfulfillmentein Kansas City.
Great Britain is to purchase eighty
thousand mules for delivery covering
the next six months.
The English and French already
have purchased about ninety thous-
and head of horses and mules in the
Southwest.
The inspection headquarters for the
horses and mules is to be moved tenn
porarily to Denver. This will last
until the crops in the Kansas City
territory are put in. Then it will be
returned to Kansas City. The farm
ers are 10th to part with their horses
and mules during the season of pre-
pairing for and raising the crops. The
buyers will invade temporarily the
range territory.
The animals are to be assembled at
Grand Island, Neb., and shipped from
there to the seaboard in Canada.
The inspectors are not nearly so
particular now as to specifications on
the size, weight and condition of the
horses and mules. This is due prin-
cipally to exhaustion of the better
grades of animals and a natural ten
dency to accept what is offered. The
war has proved a very heavy drain
on horses and mules. They are
slaughtered in the war zone by the
whitening fire of artillery. 1t cannot
be said with authority, but a popular
saying is that a horse or mule lasts
only eight days in the war zone. For
this reason it is not so necessary that
an animal be qualified to stand long
campaign.

In 1918 when Judge Divelbiss was

payment of taxes by buying draft

assessment time in local banks. On
arraiignment he confessed to having
$4,000 more in St. Louis. the proceeds
of the sale of bonds of the Japanese
government. At that time he was
fined 5000 and costs.

took another slump. He reported $50
