THAW IS BUSY
MAKING PLANS
Although Officially Insane, He Knows
Enough to Keep His Law
yers Busy.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
NEW YORK, March 17.-From his
Tombs cell, Harry K. Thaw today d.
rected the next legal moves to stay
out of Matteawan Thaw's guiding
hand in the litigation is admitted by
his counsel. He is primed for the
new fight which opens Friday before
Justice Blur, upon the new writ of
habeas corpus.
Thaw's lawyers today claimed at
least three avenues of action. The
first is the pending habeas corpus
writ to determine whether Thaw is
illegally restrained" by the sheriff
Upon this, Thaw hopes to establish
his sanity. Failing, he can bring an
other habeas corpus action in the fed
eral courts for ultimate appeal to the
United States supreme court, based
on his alleged rights to be returned
to New Hampshire, regardless OF his
sanity or insanity. The third move,
held in allegiance, is a possible sepa-
rate appeal from Justice Pages decis-
ion in the conspiracy case.
Thaw's immediate plans are as fol
lows: Justice Blur will be asked Fri
day to postpone hearing on the habeas
corpus writ for a few days, for coun-
sci to submit supporting affidavits and
briefs. The Judge will then be asked
to set the sanity trial down, some
time within a month, for extensive
hearing of witnesses before a jury al
though the states attorneys insist a
Jury trial is prohibited by law.
If Thaw loses on all sides, however,
he will be forced back into Mattea-
wan, pending any appeal to the Unit
ed States supreme court.

An appreciation OF the local news

the community is well expressed in
an article we have noticed IN some

Ex-Governor Francis once said the
following Of newspapers: Each year
the local paper gives from $500 to
$1,000 in free lines to the community

more for his town than any other ten

WOODROW WILSON
WRITES A BOOK
when Man Comes to Himself
Has Just Been Issued for
public Consumption.

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, March 17.-Woodrow
Wilson, well known author, has
launched, through prominent publish
Iers here, a book lauding an unidentt.
fed millionaire philanthropist and de.
claring that not all industrial leaders
are engrossed in amassing mere
wealth.
when Man Comes to HIMSELF
was the title of the work from the
presidents hand. Some men find
themselves later in life than others,
the volume declares.
1T is great mistake to suppose
are engrossed in vulgar pursuit OF
often they suffer the vulgarity 81
wealth to display itself in the Idle
ness and ostentation OF their wives
and children
THE masters OF industry are often
too busy with their own sober and
momentous calling to have time OF
spare thought enough to govern thar
own households.
These men are not fascinated by
the glitter of gold. The appetite Of
power has got hold of them. Business
is more interesting than pleasure.
1T was this fascination that got
hold upon the faculties of the man
whom the world was afterward to
know, not as prince among merchants
but as prince among benefactors
Beneficience was sort of sublimat-
ed business. He had come to him
self"
1T Is the discovery OF what they
cannot do that transforms reformers
into statesmen: no statesman dreams
of doing whatever he pleases," is an.
other typically Wilsonesque declara-
ton in the volume.

Speaking of the Iowa picnic the Los
Angeles Times says: The Iowa people
il southern California advertised their
picnic for two weeks ago and it rain

weather was likely to be bad and
they called the celebration off, post
poning it for a week. The result was
that our Hawkeye friends held two
picnics. The last one was limited
affair as the park where it was held
has room for only about 100000 peo-
pie. If they spread out enough to be
comfortable. With such limited &C
commodations as were available, the
