GREGORY FAV0RS
PARDON FOR HICKS
Attorney General Would Free
New Yorker Who Surrendered
for Old Offence.

Washington, July e.-Attorney Gen.
eral Gregory recommended TO President
Wilson to-day a pardon for Robert z.
Hicks, a New York man who. after
twelve years successful avoidance Of a
Jail sentence for violating the posta!
code, abandoned a prosperous business
and gave himself up 20 the police.
Investigation by the Department Of
Justice showed that Hicks had been at
work in New York az a Christian mis-
siorarv. Letters 20 the Attorney Gen
eral recommending a pardon for Hicks
came from the National Bible Institute,
the Beacon Light, McAuley and Bowery
missions, all Of New York, and the New
York Society for the Suppression OF
Vice.
Hicks began his belsted term IN
prison on June 10. Il would expire on
February 10, 1915.

mark tina. any sane man would object

ford" Stanchheld added. His objec-
tion was sustained.
Then Nr. Cook produced an inter-
view Thaw prepared for publication
in which he said Mr.. Jerome had in
suited justice at one of his previous
habeas corpus proceedings by showing
him money Cook asked him what he
meant by that.
"Mr. Jerome, at one time when
Justice Fitzgerald made e ruling
against him." Thaw said, took roll
Of yellow-back money from his pocket
and walked up and down before the
justice. Afterward he made a slur-
ing remark to newspaper men, i'm
plying that Justice Fitzgerald had
leen bribed, which, of course, was
nonsense. lie said he showed the
money so the justice would know he
knew it,"
Mr. Cook then passed TO discussion
of the state alienists, to whom Thaw
referred as bug" doctors frequently.
lie told Cook he did not think he had
done as we'll as Jerome in the matter
Of getting bug doctors.

With 4 laugh.
"Have you any i'll feeling against
DR.. Austin Flint?" Cook asked.

laugh. Although | suppose ought

is just as prepared 10 say what IS true
as what is false. You can get any
opinion out Of Flint as you can get

at his joke.
Amy feeling against Or. Baker ?"
Cook asked.
Eyes, ! have some, because of his
Misrepresentation" Thaw replied
After Thaw's withdrawal from the
chair the state put on three lay wit.
nesses from Sherbrooke, Canada, to
testify as TO Thaw's conduct there.
The first, John c. Cavanaugh, a law
yer, said he was sorry TO state that
Thaw impressed him as irrational. An
ether, Lucien Bourget, a boy who took
Thaw his meals from the hotel while
he was in jail there, said that once
Thaw threw the meal and dishes on
the floor and broke two plates. The
third, Victor Eugene Jean Archam-
Dault, a life insurance agent, said
Thaw did not appear very rational to
him.
Following this, the rest Of the ses-
sion was taken up by reading from
the record Of previous trials EVELYN
Nesbit Thaw's testimony.

80 SUBMARINES
INCLUDED IN U.S..
PROGRAMME
General Board May Ask
Larger Number Of
Congress.
BELIEVE WILSON
FAVORS INCREASE
Daniels Approves Extensive
Construction-Total May
Be 100 Before 1917.

Washington, July 9.-The United
States navy programme will include
estimates for nearly double the number
Of submarines provided for by the last
session Of Congress. While the Cen
oral Board will wait until September
to make it's recommendation, thirty and
probably more submarines will De re-
ouested. Some naval officers Of high
rank think that fifty or seventy-fve
submarines would not be too many
But others ask thirty, believing other
parts of the navy must be strength
ened.
The last Congress in three sessions
authorized twenty-six submarines, and
the United States has a total now Of
nearly seventy, in commission or build
ing. Within two years the total, it is
estimated may be brought up to one
hundred.
Secretary Daniels, it is understood,
favors a large building programme, be-
lieving that in the development of the
efficiency of the submarine arm lies the
most important TASK OF the navy.
While the attitude of President Will
son on the question is not definitely
known, those familiar with his views
will not be much surprised il he APP
proves an extraordinarily large pro-
gramme for the construction of under
" ter craft
The importance CT the submarine TO
the Uaited States for defence OF long
coast lines is appreciated by the Presi-
dent, and he plans 10 examine the en-
tire question with Secretary Daniels.
Information is being gathered abroad
by navy experts on the latest improve
ments in the underwater boats. One
reason why some European countries
have been able to manufacture sub
marines rapidly has been because Of
their development of the industry Of
making internal combustion oil-burning
engines.
Experiments are being conducted for
the use of electrical batteries in pro
polling submarines for submerged OPP
eratons, and when the general board
makes its report the number Of sub
marines recommended will depend al
most entirely on the number of bat
teries and engines that can be supplied.
Greater efficiency than has been
achieved by any foreign navy is pre-
dicted by high naval officers for Amer
lean submarines as a result of the new

Scranton, Penn, July 9.-Local bank

they would not 90 to the rescue of the
International Text Book Company with
a loan Of 100000, as had been tenta-
lively agreed on two weeks ago.
The committee Of the Board of
Trade, consisting of John II. Brooks,
Worthingtcn Scranton and Ralph t.
Weeks, who had undertaken the task Of
irving TO save the international Core
spondence Schools and textbook con-
pany from disaster, printed IN the local
afternoon paper a second appeal, IN
viting the investing public as well as
the local financial institutions TO buy
100000 of collateral trust notes to be
issued Jy the textbook company.
These are the notes some of the banks
declined TO accept as security for
loan. the other banks then following
suit, as they had agreed that 1t was TO
be case OF "all or none"
Scranton citizens read with amaze
ment the proposition that they should
buy what the banks declined to pur-
chase, and there were many caustlc
comments on the suggestion.
1--WE believe" said the appeal, that
il the financial policy and control OF
the schools is brought under the adj
ministration Of q finance committee Of
strong local men, to be selected by the
directors OF the textbook company and
approved by the Board of Trade. the
banking institutions Of this city and
the public can with reasonable safety
purchase the 100000 short term col
lateral trust notes, bearing interest at
per cent and secured by the deposit
of 100000 of first mortgage bonds
covering all Of the textbook real estate
and equipment in this city.
"Believing the above statement TO
be true. we respectfully suggest the
serious consideration of these securi-
ties to the financial institutions and
the investing public"

Harry Thaw has a penchant for soft
shell crabs. He ate them last night in
The Cascade at the Biltmore, and the
night before at the Waldorf. From the
Ludlow Street Jail to the Biltmore is
pleasant change for Thaw, and he thor
oughly enjoys dining out.
Though the unwilling guest Of the
county, Thaw is glad TO pay his own
way on such occasions, as well as that
of his keepers. Thaw has been enjoy
ing such privileges for some time, un-
der a court order issued by Justice
Hendrick, before whom his sanity is
being tested The order was issued to
permit Thaw to visit his physician, DR..
Valdemar Sillo, of 1853 West Fifty
seventh Street, after court. Sheriff
Max Grifenhagen is instructed, under
the order, to see that Thaw visits his
physician, has supper, and is safely re-
turned to Ludlow Street jail.
After court adjourned yesterday
Sheriff Grifenhagen and Deputy Sheriff
Joseph A. Miller escorted their happy
prisoner to the doctor. Thaw submit
ted to an X-ray treatment by DR.. Sillo
in an effort to locate the centre of the
trouble in sore and much swollen
hand which Thaw injured two or three
weeks ago while playing with the medi-
cine ball in the court yard Of the Jail.
Then Thaw and his two keepers
motored to the Biltmore. Without be
ing recognized they reached The Cas-
cade, on the nineteenth floor Of the
hotel, where the City Fathers enter
tanned President Wilson at luncheon
when he was here to review the At
lantic feet. There were 500 or 600 per-
sons dining in the beautifully decorated
room when the Thaw party arrived

Fish, Roast Lamb, Lettuce Salad, Ice Cream, Coffee
for Dinner Eaten by Slayer, Sheriff Grifenhagen
and Guards in The Cascade

Senior Napsi's orchestra was playing
snatches from the operas IN the bal
cony.
According to Sheriff Grifenhagen, no
one came over to the table 10 speak 10
Thaw, but good many persons seemed
TO know him, from the attention he at
tracted.
"Thaw thoroughly enjoyed his dinner
in such surroundings and the music"
said the sheriff. at does him good to
dine out. He never asks for a strong
drink Of any kind, and | wouldn't let
him have it if he did"
Soft shell crabs were merely the blue
ribbon dish on the Thaw menu. The
rest of his dinner last night, it was
said. consisted of an order Of fish, roast
lamb, lettuce salad and ice cream and
coffee. with a good cigar.
l. was learned that Thaw had visited
the doctor and dned out on several
previous occasions. Prior to the Wal
dorf dinner Sheriff Grifenhagen had
not accompanied him. He was in the
hands of Deputy Sheriff Miller. and
perhaps some other deputies from the
sherif''s Office. They dined for the most
part at smaller hotels and restaurants
in the neighborhood of Dr. Sillo's
home. In one instance they were at
Pabst's Circle Restaurant
The sheriff explained that he would
not permit Thaw to dine in any Of the
lobster belt restaurants where he would
be likely to see a bit Of the old gay
life. At the same time. he said he did
not intend to take his prisoner to OBJ
scure places, but wanted it done in the
open and publicly, as long as he had
court order.
The sheriff had an order to take
Thaw to the doctors and to supper to-
day and tomorrow, but he was not sure
last night that he would take him out
during the court recess. Thaw, II was
said, was always back in the Ludlow
street Jail by p. M, or shortly after.
