THAW LAUNCHES NEW HABEAS
CORPUS WRIT IN LEGAL MAZE
Double -barreled Action Planned as
Basis of an Appeal.

NEW YORK. March 19-Abandoning
hope OF obtaining jury trial TO test his
sanity, Harry X. Thaw today launched n
new habeas corpus writ. His second writ
was briefly argued before Supreme Court
Justice Blur.
Thaw's new writ was served early this
morning on Sheriff Grifenhagen. It was
brought before Justice Blur with Thaw's
body" according to legal red tape, an
hour later.
That Justice Page illegally ordered
Thaw back to Matteawan and refused
his return to New Hampshire was the
basis of the new writ Justice Blur was
expected to refer the writ to Justice
Page who will refuse It. This double
barreled judicial action was planned to
be the basis of an appeal to the Appellate
Court.
While awaiting decision of the Court OF
Appeals, Thaw may remain In the
Tomhs If the Appellate Court sustains
Justice Pages ruling Thaw will be ready
with third habeas corpus writ in the
Federal courts, upon which an appeal
can be taken to the United States
Supreme Court
In the meantime, the first habeas corpus
served on Warden Hanley of the
Tombs, by which Thaw planned a sanity
inquiry, will be held in abeyance as
"last-resort' move

MEXTCANS LOCKED IN
BATTLE FOR TAMPTCO
S t a tie Department Eagerly
Awaiting Outcome of Deci-
sive Struggle.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-with un-
certainty still existing regarding the fate
of Americans and foreigners in Monterey
and other parts of Mexico, where VII
lista or Carranzistas are active, news
reached the State Department today. that
the opposing forces are locked in what
promisegto be the deciding battle for the
control OF the Tampico oil district.
The course of the battle, which began
Thursday between outposts, is being anx-
iously watched by officials of this Gov
ernment. Villa has $4,000 men in Tam
pico's vicinity and is in personal charge.
Carranza's forces number about 25,O0O.
Some 5000 troops, under General Chao,
the Villa vanguard's commander, at pres
ent is engaged with 25OO Carranzlstas
under General Pablo Gonzales at Ebano,
20 miles from Tampico.
Fear is entertained that the valuable
oil properties belonging TO American,
British and French interests may suffer.
A large number of foreign employees of
the oil companies are in Tampico
From present indications, Carranza Is
pinnlng his faith on the outcome of the
fight. Official dispatches show that he
holds but one town on the American bor-
der, Nuevo Laredo, and Is about to evac-
uate that, leaving the north country in
the Villlstas possession. On the other
hand, the Carranzlsta detachlients in
Yucatan are reported generally success
full.
