THAW ACQUITTED
 SANE, JURY SAYS
Declared, With Co-defendants,
 Not Guilty of Conspiracy
FINDING DEBATED f9 HOURS
Based on Advice to Thaw That He Had Right to Escape and His Fear of Becoming Insane-Question
 Now Is Hsbeas Corpus Writ.

New York.-Harry K. Thaw and the four men jointly charged with con spiracy to make possible his escape from Matteawan were acquitted by a jury before Justice Page in the Su- preme Court Criminal Branch.
 Thaw's lawyers immediately moved that he be returned to New Hamp- shire, on the ground that the charge of conspiracy, upon which he was eHradted from New Hampshire and brought back 10 New York State was q subterfuge resorted to by New York officials. who could find no oth- CT means of returning him to Mat teawan.
 The motion. made on top a demand from the Attorney Generals office that Thaw be sent forthwith to Mat feawan, was set over for argument. and Thaw in the meantime was re. manded to the Tombs for safe-keep- ing.
 The four eodefendants, Richard Butler. an ex-Assemblyman; Eugene Dnny. Thomas Flood and Educated fknEtT nom EHnHr Mtif uteAAFtA tsN sNst sts the request of the State and lost no time in leaving the Criminal Courts Building
 It took the jury exactly eighteen hours and fifty minutes to agree upon a verdict The point Of contention, they said later. was a simple one; Did TAaw honestly believe that he was breaking ao law in walking out Of Matteawan? They finally agreed that he had so believed and imme- diately after that a ballot was taken and he was found not guilty.
 But every juror. so they said later walked out of the court room with the firm conviction that Thaw is sane. A clause to this effect would have been inserted in their finding had not Justice Page previously in strneted thsm inst Thaw's sanity was not a matter for them to consider.
 The attorneys for the defense look ed on the verdict as a great victory, and were especially delighted with the news that the jurors had thought Thaw sane. Thaw. also, expressed deep satisfaction.

Washington. u.--Promulgation in Lon. don Of the British orders in eoun. ell by which 1t is intended to make effective the proposed policy og cut ting of Germany from all trade with tho rest Of the world brings to a head tho serious issues raised between the United states and the allied govern. ments by this drastic policy

 The issuing of these orders by Great Britain means that tho United States win have to face the unlawful maritime policies of both England and Germany without possible relief for Great Britain's stand against any importations Of food to Germany de stroys all hope of modification Of the Kaiser's war zone campaign.
 While 1t is presumed that formal replies to both United States com. munications will be forthcoming from Great Britain the orders in council make is unmistakably clear that no concessions need be looked for in these communications. officials were prepared to admit that the British orders make the situation just about as hopeless as could we'll be imagined with regard 10 any prospect. for pre- serving freedom of trade with Ger many
 The United States Government will undoubtedly lodge a general protest against the British orders. There Is little hope however. that anything substantial can be gained by such protest particularly in vi-w of the repeated statements emanating from London that the Allied governments are quite prepared for the receipt of vigorous protests not only from the United States but from all neutrals. Notice has been served practically that neutrals may protest until the cows come home, but it will do them no good.
