THAW WILL STAY
3ODAYS IN TOMBS,
PENDING APPEAL
Head Of Appellate Division
Sets Hearing of Argument
for April 10.

In the company OF two deputy
shsriffs and Tombs keeper, Harry
X. Thaw appeared in Supreme Court
Justics Bijur's chamber this after
noon. where the first writ OF habeas
corpus obtained by him was to be
argued. No argument was made by
slther John h. Stanchfield, counsel
ror Thaw or Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Franklin Kennedy.
Thaw sat on q couch facing the
Justice as Mr.. Stanchfeld explained
taht by agreement with the States
lawyers q postponement of tho actual
hearing on the writ would be sought.
Mr.. Kennedy made no objection. and
Justice Blur granted the, adjourn
ment until March 90. Justice Blur
has already announced that a further
adjournment will be granted to Thaw
at that time pending decision on his
appeal to the Appellate Division ot
the Supreme Court from the decision
by Justice Page recommitting Thaw
to Matteawan.
1t is not likely that the Anal hear
ing on the writ will be had until
April 10. whom. it is expected by
Thaw's lawyers. the Appellate Divi-
sion will have decided all the ques-
tions pending before it. This will
give Thaw at least 20 days in Tombs.
The second writ sued out last night
by Thaw was referred to-day to Jus
tice Page, hat Thaw's lawyers anti
cipate that h will be denied, as JUS
tice Page, In sustaining 1t. would be
reversing his decision. sending Thaw
back to Mat.eawan after his acquittal
on the conspiracy charge.
Thaw looked very dapper. He wore
a little sreen ribbon--a leftover from
st. Patriots day--in his lapel button
hole. fe swallowed cough drops
about S0ery two minutes and pre-
ferred Aem to his counsel. to Justice
Blur Ind to the newspaper men in

He was In the chambers only ten

eleNtor he said that he expected to

Difficulties of Exchange
Problem Gradually Be-
ing Understood.
PURCHASES LESSEN
u. S. LOAN POWER
Permanent Improvement in
Financial Situation Hoped
from Mission.
BY FRANCIS W. HIRST.
Editor n The Economist
[sr.cial obi. 70 tn. Trihune l

London, Sept. 7.-Our press bit
terly contrasts the German pledge
with Germany's latest perform
ance, but admits the possibility that
submarines had not been advised Of
the changed policy. If this were n
deliberate breach of faith, future
peace negotiations with the present
German government would be i'm
possible.
Our exchange problem and its diff
ficulties are gradually becoming un-
derstood here, but none seems to
have perceived that sales to your
side necessarily diminish your power
to lend us money. What you want,
of course, is consumable commodi-
ties. From this standpoint gold is
better for you than bonds, as being
more resalable, and for us gold has
the great advantage that commodi-
ties bought with gold are bought
presumably without exchange loss.
The names Of the financial mission
have now been published, and it is
hoped they will be able to effect
some permanent improvement.
Harvest weather here continues
good.
