Judge Denies Motion to
Have Whites Slayer
Sent Back to New
Hampshire
TO BE RETURNED
TO MATTEAWA AN
But Counsel For Thaw Obtains Writ
Of Habeas Corpus which Acts AS
Stay in Returning Him TO the
Asylum
By Associated Press.

New York, March 16.-Harry K.
Thaw will not be sent back to New
Hampshire by the State of New York
as his counsel demanded, but must be
returned to Matseawan Asylum, unless
legal papers calling for his detention
in New York county are served on the
warden of Tombs prison. This was Su-
preme Court Justice Pages. decision
to-day in disposing of the formal mo-
tion to have Thaw returned to New
England.
In the meantime counsel for Thaw,
as if in anticipation of such decision,
had obtained from Supreme Court JUS
tice Blur a writ of habeas corpus
which will keep Thaw in Tombs prison
till next Friday when he must be pro-
duced in court.
Close Call For Thaw
1t was close call for Thaw as
plans had been considered by the State
for returning him at once to Mattea-
wan. Asylum attendants were in the
automobile, but the writ of habeas
corpus prevented this.
Sheriff Griffenhagen, of New York
county, had heard whisperings of a
plot to sbduct Thaw during the brief
interval when he should be ont of
Warden Hanley' custody in going to
and from the prison to the court room
across the bridge of sighs. Accordingly
the Sheriff armed twenty deputies
with revolvers and scattered them
throughout the crowd that packed the
court room. Many more armed deputies
were sprinkled among the crowds in
the corridors.
81 am taking no chances. the
Sheriff said. 81 am well heeied for an
abduction.
Again Back to the Tombs
When the decision was announced
Thaw's smile changed to frown
Plainly he was disappointed. He turned
quickly, to John B. Stanchtield, of his
counsel, who spoke a few words in an
undertone and took his seat. 4 moment
later, two of the Sheriff's deputies led
him away TO the Tombs.
Justice Page took occasion to CON.
ment, in his decision on the good faith
displayed by the State of New York
towards New Hampshire by Pacing
Thaw on trial on the consoiracy
charge. There had been no evidence
the court held, to warrant the charge
that Thaw had been brought back sim
ply to be sent again TO Matteawan
Nor had there been adduced any ade
quate reason why Thsw should be sent
back TO New Hampshire after his tria
and acquittal.

WARNS AS TO OUTSIDE GIVING
Chamber of Commerce Urges That
Harrisburg Charities Be Considered

According to officials of the Cham
Der of Commerce, solicitors for char
tiles outside of this city are working
in Harrisburg, asking aid. This request
is ill-timed now, the officials believe,
and Harrisburgers are requested to
give to local charities first.
The Chamber suggests that in Civ
ing money to out of town charities, To-
cal givers are more or less in the dark
as to how the money is spent. When
given to a Harrisburg charity, the of.
fee or headquarters of the charity can
be visited, its practices investigated
and nothing left in doubt as to the
good use made of the money.

vORARLBERG IS NOT
SUFFERING FROM WAR
PRosPERlNo INDUSTRY DEvEL-
OPS IN LITTLE MOUNTAIN
CROWNLAND

ZURICH, Switzerland, Nov. 30. 49,
While Austrian trade and industry
generally are suffering great depres-
sion from the war, the little noun
famous crownland of Vorarlberg, on
the borders OF Switzerland is in
most prosperous condition.
In Vorarlberg are scores of small
embroidery factories now crowded
with orders from Swiss agents, who
can get the work done thirty per cent
cheaper there than In their own coun-
try, because the Austrian crown, u.s.
ually roughly equivalent to a franc In
value, Is now worth only seventy
centimes in Swiss money And mean
while thousands of Swiss workers are
out of employment.
Valenciennes, the center of the
French embroidery industry, is occu-
pied by the Germans, ana Plauen in
Saxony, the chief center of Germanys
embroidery trade, can no longer ex-
port any wares. Consequently Swift
zerland's embroidery exports are ris-
ing by leaps and bounds, in spite of
the general depression everywhere
resulting from the war Last year the
total exports of embroideries amount
ed to some twenty-four million dol
lars This year they will probably
reach forty millions. The bulk of the
goods are going to the United States
and to Great Britain. The Swiss
trader is profiting both ways; in
cheaper labor and comparative free
dom from competition.
