THAW WILL NOT BE RETURNED
TO MATTEwEAN BEFORE NEXT
FRIDAY; APPEARS IN COURT
THAT DAY
(By Associated Press.)

New York, March 16.--Justice
Page today denied Harry X. Thaw's
motion that he be returned to New
Hampshire. The justice ordered
Thaw to be sent back to Mattewean
asylum unless legal papers are
served on the warden of the Tombs
calling for the prisoners retention
in New York city. That already has
been done. Warden Hanley. pre-
vious to the decision, was served
with a writ of habeas corpus re-
quiring him to produce Thaw in
court next Friday. 1t was said that
this was to prevent Thaw from be
ing returned to Mattewean before
that time at least.
The State had all it's plans made
to rush Thaw back to Matteawan
asylum. There were attendants in
the room and the sheriff had armed
deputies stationed in the court room
corridors to prevent possible at
tempt to abduct Thaw during the
brief interval he was out with the
warden and custodian. While cross
ing the Bridge Of Sighs, the sheriff
said he had heard rumors.

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES
(By the Secretary


An editorial in the Tampa Tri
bune under the above caption is
we'll worth quoting in our local pa
per. 1t is as follows:
Tampa ought to turn out its
biggest crowds for the baseball Sc
ries which began yesterday.
The sport is of unusually good
quality and the teams playing are
two of the most famous in the world.
Besides, the local association is
bearing the financial burden OF
bringing the Cubs to Tampa and is
entitled to patronage at least suf
ficient to meet the expenses Of the
enterprise.
But for the presence Of the Cubs
in Tampa. we would not have these
interesting games. The advertise
ment is a great one for this city.
The making Of the contract with the
Chicago Club whereby it trains in
Tampa was the first step toward
recognition of Florida as the ideal
baseball training ground. Other
clubs followed the example Of the
Cubs and Florida now has more
league clubs in training than any
other State in the Union.
"In addition to the inducement
of the good article of baseball that
is offered. there should be patriotic
reason for Tampa patronage of the
games. We want to keep up the
present arrangement with the Cubs
and have them come here every
wear. To do this we must insure the
local association which is financing
the deal against loss-and the best
vay to do this is to go to the
games"
bunch of Lakeland boosters
have brought the Louisville Colonels
here for their training and for the
mast two weeks and for the next two
weeks Lakeland has been having
and will continue to have a world
of the yerv best advertising a town
could possibly have, viz: a Lakeland
headline on the sporting page Of eV
err live daily paper in the country 3.
therefore. every man in town who
e ar ali concerned in the progress
and development of Lakeland ought
not only to go to the games but DC

(By Associated Press.)

Newport News, March 16.-The
United States dreadnaught Penn
sylvania. successfully launched here
today, is the largest sea fighter
anoat. Secretary Daniels in his ad
dress at the luncheon that followed,
expressed the hope that the Penn
sylvania would be messenger of
peace rather than a weapon of de
struction. He paid tribute to the
present efficiency of the United
States navy. Commander Thieri
chens, OF the German cruiser Prince
Eitel Friedrich, was present at the
launching. The Eitel was among the
vessels that blew their whistles
when the Pennsylvania was
launched.

IN REVIVAL At
BAPTIST CHURCH

The revival meeting at the First
Baptist church has now begun in
full force, today having seen three
services which will be the regular
program till the conclusion of the
series Of services.
Yesterday afternoon Rev. Wal
lace Wear. the local pastor, spoke to
a crowd Of over three hundred by
actual count, in the park. Although
the people had been expecting DR..
Dodd to speak at the afternoon ser
vice, there was not the slightest evi
dence Of disappointment, the large
gathering paying the most careful
attention to his earnest message
That this form OF sarvice Is a great
boon to our community is evidenced
by the fact that at both these open

DR.. M. E. Dodd, of Shreveport
La. the visiting evangelist, at the
evening service yesterday delivered
decidedly his strongest message in
the series thus far. Gods Ultima

nay, but except ye repent ye shall
all likewise perish.
The first great truth noted by the
speaker was the fact that repentance
is a direct command Of God. Nov
commandeth 4" at is not a sugges

a command. "God commanded" o
equal force with all the commando
ever given us from God. Not only
a command. but a universal com

mand some few races or sections ol

thing that God hates above every
