His Favor.

CRISIS IS DUE TODAY

New York. March ia crisis is due
In the Thaw case tomorrow. Late this
afternoon. John B. StanchfieId, counsel
for Thaw. armed himself with a writ of
habeas corpus to restrain his client from
being returned to nlatteawan tomorrow
on the event of decision from Justice
Pag" overrulng the motion that Thaw
be sent back to New Hampshire whence
he was brought for trial on the conspir-
acy charge growing out of his escape
simultaneously, rumors spread over the
criminal courts building of a plan to
forcibly seize Thaw and carry him back
to Matteawan in the event of a decision
favorable to Thaw on this motion. Based
on presumption that Justice Page will
decide in Thaw's favor. 1t was said that
in disregard of such a decision Thaw
would be seized and rushed back to the
State asylum.
In this connection. attendants from
Matteawan We're in court today ready to
take charge of Thaw if authorized.
In arguing In the Thaw case before
Justice Page Mr.. Kennedy frankly as
sumed the position that the justice has
10 Jurisdiction over Thaw now that the
verdict has been rendered in the con-
spiracy case
The Bowling commitment is in full
force and effect at this time" said Nj.
Kennedy. And Thaw being within the
jurisdiction Of New York is subject to
that order"
II was observed after argument ha~
been concluded that If the State adhered
to its belief that Justice Jage has no
jurisdiction over Thaw. in view of the
circumstances. it might logically seize
Thaw and send him back to Matteawan
IN disregard of any contrary decision
Justice Page might hand down.
In connection with the rumor that an
attempt might be made to seize Thaw.
Sheriff Griffenhagen. m whose custody
Thaw has been lodged, made the sensa-
tiOnal assertion that n plan had been
formed on Friday night to kidnap Thaw
and carry him off had the verdict of the
jury set him free
II know that two automobiles were sta
toned outside the Criminal Courts build
ing said the sheriff. "one at Leonard
street and one at White street to rush
Thaw away if he had been liberated.
That was why l was there to keep
watch"
The sheriff declared that the automo-
biles were in charge of an official who
has been prominently identified with the
States case against Thaw
Inc one OF TWO tnlnSs VIII happen
First, Justice Page will decide that Thaw
shall be returned to New Hampshire in
which event Sheriff Griffenhagen is pre-
pared to start at once with the defend
ant for New England. and that will call
for prompt action on the part of the
State officials lest Thaw be forever lost
to them: or. second, Justice Page will
decide that there Is no merit in the con-
tention that Thaw should be returned
to New Hampshire. in which event the
defense will promptly take up a writ of
habeas corpus which will precipitate a
full inquiry into his sar1t ny.

she now Is. has been received at the
State Department from Count Won Bern

the American ship sunk by the German
cruiser. 1t was regarded merely as COM
pliance with the formalities in the case
The Ambassadors statement does, how
ever remove all doubt as to the legal
status of the converted cruiser. it hav-
ing been contended in some quarters that
the Prinz EiteI Friedrich might not be
entitled to recognition as government
ship.
Newport News, Va, March 15.-Amer-
lean naval officers today made an ex-
tensive examination of the German
auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich
to determine how long the cruiser will
have to remain here in order to DO rem
dered seaworthy.
The members of the board that i'll
spected the ship are Naval COnstruc-
tor Dubose. Lieut.. Commander Norris
and Lieut. Allen. U. s. n. a report
will be made to the Navy Department
in Washington as soon as possible.
1t was intimated that Capt ThIe-
richens. of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
has given no orders to the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Dirk Dock
Company for any repairs further than
those already made. This is regarded
as further evidence that the German
officer will intern his ship here rather
than risk her destruction by putting
to sea. where powerful British war
ships are lying in wait for the Ger
man vessel
Details OF an interesting CONVERSE
ton between Capt Thierichens and
the commander of the French liner
Floride. while the Prinz Eitel Fried
rich was making her way to this
port, were related today Knowing
that the crippled German ship was be-
ing pursued by British men of war.
the Floride's skipper asked the Ger
man commander what he would do if
a British warship was signaled.
II would fly signals advising them
that we have women and children be-
longing to the allies on board" Capt
Thierichens replied.
But what II the ship refused to be-
lieve that statement?'
Then I would have to give battle
with the women and children on board
my ship"

GYPS|Es WHITE SLAVERs
DEEP IN THE TRAFFIC, SAYS
OFFICIAL.
White Victims Often Stolen-Nine
Cities Named Where Girls Can
Be Bought and Sold.

Denver, Colo.-St. Louis, New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis,
Milwaukee, New Orleans, Dallas and
Kansas City are white slave markets,
where gypsy girls and white girls, the
latter stolen, r sold for sums rang
ing from 5000 to $4,000.
This is the statement made by Will
liam F. Fitch, special investigator for
the department of justice, in an Off
cial report sent to Washington.
Fitch's report follows several weeks
of secret inquiry and contains a con
fession from the wealthy chief of a
local gypsy band made to him. Ac-
cording to this mans statement he
is worth nearly $500, 600. In fear of
death, this chief told Fitch that for
several years gypsy bands in all parts
of the country have traded in girls,
obtaining for them sums seldom be-
low $1,000. The traffic began with
gypsy girls, husbands often selling
their wives, and recently has extended
TO white girls.
Chicago has been the clearing house
for the slaves, who were brought from
all parts of the country to Kokomo,
Ind, and there held until sold. Often
the girls were EARNED" out or re-
sold.
Fitch, who tried to prevent the
story becoming public, has verified it
and that within a few days a nation
wide inquiry will be under way with
the possibility of Wholesale arrests.

Breach of Promise Action, Says
They Were Only Friends.

SUBMARINES ARE TOO ACTIVE
Thirty-Four Daring Aeronauts Take
Part-Grahame-Whit Falls Into
Sea But Is SaVed-Leave
Trail of Ruins.

London, England-Thirty-four Brit
ish aeroplanes and seaplanes = the
greatest force of aircraft ever as
sembled for hostile purposes-left
their base at Dover, sailed the chan
mel and made a successful raid against
five towns in Belgium where the Ger
mans were believed to be establish
ing submarine stations for raiding
British Mercantile shipping.
The expedition was under command
of Flight Commander Samson, who
had with him such noted filters as
Claude Grahame-White now a fight
commander, and Lieut.. John Cyril
Porte, who was to have made an at
tempt to fly acros the Atlantic in
Rodman Wanamaker's flying boat,
America, but who hurried home to
resume his rank when the war broke
out.
All of the "a aviators and their OBJ
servers returned safely to the Brit
ish base. The only mishaps were that
two machines were damaged by the
hail of shot which the Germans sent
at the squadron when they had re-
covered from the surprise caused by
the attack, and that Grahame-White
fell into the sea off Newport on the
return and was a target for the en-
emies' guns for some time until he
was rescued by a French war YES
sci.
In a sweeping attack, that was prob
ably launched from Dunkirk, the "a
machines covered a wide area in the
part Of Belgium held by the Germans
and inflicted great damage wherever
they went.

No Recommendations.

There promises to be a lively SEES
sion in the house when the IS bills
pending before the Judiciary commit
tee will be referred to the new com
mittees or engrossment.
The Judiciary committee, after a de-
bate decided that it would make no
further decisions OF pending meas
ures.
The trouble began when Represen-
tative DUNN of Cole county, member
of the committee, requested that house
bill 149, sponsored by him, which had
received an unfavorable report, be
placed on the informal calendar.
Representative Frank Farris, chair
man of the committee, protested and
conferred with other members, who
agreed to report all the bills without
recommendations. The house referred
the bills back to the committee.
Chairman Farris, after adjournment,
called a conference and the commit
teemen again decided to report all the
bills without recommendation.
The measure that caused a contro-
versy relates to appellate judgments
in life and fire insurance, and personal
injury suit, whether by corporations
or individuals.
