.THAW APPEALS ID
 SUPREME COURT
Asks Overriding of Trial Judges Or. der That He Be Returned To
 Matteawan Asylum.

NEW YORK, March 18.-Harry K. Thaw's attorneys yesterday filed an appeal to the supreme court from the decision of the ruling judge on the motion to permit Thaw to be allow. ed to go to New Hampshire. The judge ruled that Thaw was to be re. turned to the Matteawan asylum un. less ordered by the court to be kept in The Tombs until his trial Friday. Thaw's attorneys immediately secur. ed writ of habeas corpus and the prisoner was kept in New York.
 Thaw's trial, when the state of New York will be compelled to prove him insane, will begin tomorrow and it is evidently in anticipation of an ad- verse decision that the appeal to the supreme court has been perfected.
 The insanity trial promises to be a long drawn out contest as Thaw has summoned scores of persons, in cluding the sheriff of New Hampshire, to testify in his behalf.

GRAND. CAMP |S
 NOW IN SESSION
Officers Elected and Strong Effort Will Be Made to Make Brother
 hood Leading Order.

JUNEAU, March 18.-The Grand Camp of the Arctic Brotherhood in session here yesterday elected the fol. lowing officers for the coming year:
 John T. Reed, Arctic Chief.
 c. c. Georgesen, Vice-Arctic Chief.
 w. B. Stout, Chaplain. D. Smith Harris, Recorder.
 H. H. Post, Keeper of Nuggets.
 M. J. Svendseth, Camp Cook
 A. J. Atchison, Trail Guide.
 o. P. Gaustad, Trail Blazer.
 Hugo Byers, Inner Toll Gate.
 J. Brennan, Outer Toll Gate.
 The trustees are: Charles A. Sul- ger, of Sulzer; B. F. Willard, Valdez; E. B. Collins, Tanana; H. F. Engle- hart, Dawson, and A. G. Shoup, Sitka. The question of the revision of the constitution of the Brotherhood was discussed at length and a motion pre-. vailed to submit the question to vote of the members of the subordinate camps.
 Now that 1t has been definitely de- cided to hold all grand encampments in the north and keep the member ship of the order strictly confined to membership qualifications it is believ- ed interest in the Brotherhood will be revived and that it will again be- come the leading fraternal order of Alaska and Yukon. Active efforts are to be made to secure new re- cruits and establish new camps and the selection of the officers for the coming year were chosen with that end in view.

# SPECIAL SES-

MAYOR ADDRESSES LETTERS TO
MAYORS OF VARIOUS CITIES -
ASKS THEIR OPINION OF Paw
ING SITUATION.

AS the governor is thinking OF call.
ing a special session of the legisla-
ture, Mayor Mullen is writing to many
of the mayors asking what they think
about trying to get some legislation
through the Legislature relieving us
of the paving situation. Most all Of
the cities are behind with the pay
ment of their paving assessments and
it appears that the legislature should
pass some law whereby the credit
of the cities and Oklahoma will be
better established with the bond buy
ers of the north and east.
Following is copy of the letter
addressed to the mayors of Oklahoma
cities:
Dear Sir:
What do you think about asking
the governor in his call for a special
session of the legislature asking that
the Legislature pass some law whereby
we can extend payment of our past
due pavement assessments, or upon
payment in sixty or ninety days, that
the penalty will be RENTED.
1T does appear that on account of
the two or three hard years we have
had that we should get some relief
and thus establish ourselves with

that our bonds will at least bring par
please let me hear from you.

This remark was made in speaking

Producers who are obeying the law
feel that the state should protect
them in that obedience or make good
all their losses.
1t looks now like the provisions
of the state conservation law will be

the well will be drilled to a greater
