THAw BACK TO MATTEAWAN
New York Court Decides Agains'
His Appeal

New York, April Hilary Ken
dali Thaw was today ordered back
to the state hospital for the Grim

pellate division of the New York
supreme court. In an opinion con-
Cured in by all the justices, the
court affirmed the denial by Sill
preme Court Justice Page Of a mo-
ton to return Thaw to the jurisdic-
ton of the state Of New Hampshire,
whence he was extradited to stand
trial for conspiring to escape from
the Matteawan asylum, and ruled
that the original order committing
him to the institution was still val
i'd, Plans are now being formulated
TO take the case to the state court
of appeals. A decision adverse to
Thaw came as a great surprise to
his counsel.
The court held that in returning
Involuntary to this jurisdiction
Thaw was subject to no promise or
inducement and that New Hamp-
shire had only done the duty ex-
pected of it when 1t returned him to
New York to answer for crime for
which he had been indicted.

U. p. NO. 1913 CROSSES BURN.
: ING BRIDGE IN SAFETY

Union Pacific train No. 1913
westbound, due in Abilene at 1892
in the afternoon, narrowly escaped
being dumped into ravine the
other side Of Rossville yesterday
afternoon. A trestle bridge was
afire but the train was upon 1t, so
the trainmen say, before the engi-
neer saw the danger, and as the
train was then on a down grade,
could not stop his train before
reaching the bridge. So the train
went across the bridge, which Is
about forty feet long, and passen-
gers were startled when flames shot
up around the side of the coaches.
AS soon as the train was stopped,
the crew rushed to the flaming
trestle and after nearly an hours
work managed to put out the fire.
Had the trestle been burning for q
half hour longer, the train might
have rushed down upon it and over
into the ravine. The train was 45
minutes late into Abilene. Rossville
is a few miles this side of Topeka.
H. X. Eicholtz was on the train
returning from Topeka, where he
had been assisting the state board
in giving an examination to appli-
cants for state licenses as funeral
directors. Mr.. Eicholtz is president
