Thaw's Lawyers Prepare
TO Contest His ExtraditiOn

From a STAT Cor~pondsu, Of The Tribunal
Philadelphia. Jar. 13.--Ihe fight to
keep Harry Thaw out OF New York
is on.
To-day Henry j. Scott, who has been
retained to head the local counsel for
the family. served notice on Governor
Brumbaugh that Thaw's removal Ia
New York to face charges of kidnap-
ping and assault preferred by Freder-
lex Gump, jr., would be disputed. MI
Scott asked tho Governor not TO gran.
extradition papers until Thsw's law
yers had hearing.
While Mr.. Scott would not commit
himself on the points which may be
raised against the removal Of Thaw
from the state, 1t is understood the
question will enter as TO whether the
alleged kidnapping occurred in Cali
fornia or in New York. Thaw's coun'
sci may contend that the offence
charged was not committed in the
state where the indictments were re-
turned.
One of the first things that sug
Cested itself to Mr.. Scott was what
appeared TO be the easy eIpedient Of
having a lunacy commission rass upon

100000 Property Loss
in du Pont Explosion

More than S2,000,000 10 property was
wiped out Friday night by the great
flare Of powder fame from the du Pont
Compsny's plant at Haskell. n. J. A
million and a half OF this was the di-
rect loss Of the munitions concern.
The German Artistic Weaving Com
pany's plant, n half-mile away from
the explosion. lost 100000 more. The
remainder was borne by householderr,
chiefly in Pompton Lakes.
The company still insists that only
two persons died in the blast--the
worst Of the many which this factory
has suffered since The beginning of the
war. Workmen hold that the death list
should contain the names OF several
more. The number that were really
wiped out by the crash may never be
determined, for many OF the employees
fed in the panic after the explosion
and have not returned. Six men were
picked up in Paterson yesterday az
suspicious characters. They hao
trampcd the nine miles from Haskell,
where they had been employed, ana
told tho magistrate before whom they
were arraigncd that their one desire

Old "TempIes" of New Mexico.

Quaint Spanish architecture in the
''land of POGO TEMPO" New Mexico,
never loses it's charm. The early Span
iards were devout Catholics and their
converts, the Indians, never failed to
erect houses of worship at their direc-
ton. Many of them are nearly four
hundred years old and still in use.
One at Tipa, n. NJ, still shelters the
devout Mexicans of the Taos valley in
their weekly worship. The temples"
of the Mexicans before the arrival of
the Spaniards were great pyramids
upon which hecatombs of human vic
TINS were sacrificed to the Aztec and
Toltec gods, particularly to the gods
of the corn and growing vegetation.
The victims were usually prisoners of
war and slaves. For a certain period
they were treated as kings and queens
until the fatal day when they were led
to execution on the top of the pyramid
where the heart was cut out of the
quivering breast with stone.

and was considering enlistment favor
ably. In fact he had as good as prom
ised. His parents had not objected.
Mrs. Frank had had variety of ex-
periences, but believed she had round
ed up at least three embryo soldiers.
Tt was voted to continue the work.
The president, Miss Ann Welby, had
rather the most promising record of
them all. But the officers at the re-
cruitipg stations were yet to be heard
from as to actual results.
AT the handsome home of Frank
TownIey Ann Welby met with a kind
reception. She was shown into
pleasant library and asked to wait.
Presently q middle-aged gentleman en-
tered Ann Welby at once classified
the man as Being tout of the common"
She noted THE fine brow, the dark,
penetrating eyes, the slightly gray aud
abundant hair that lent an air of dis
tinction to the face. He told her the
immediate family were all out, that
he was q relative and guest, but that
he would be pleased to convey any
message she would like to leave. But
there was something compelling about
the mans personality. Ann seemed
obliged to stay and comply with his
request. He did not quite agree with
her views regarding the present situa-
ton and spirited discussion followed.
Ann had a deeply grounded respect for
logic and reason. She had always
tried to be fair-minded and just, and
could never be accused of being
"hysterical female" She was capable
of calmly weighing evidence, so she
fairly reveled in an argument. Her
elder sister, who was incapable of fol-
lowing the discussion, always accused
Ann of getting excited and angry, but
the keener intellect knew she was only
enthusiastic in defense of her posi-
ton.
The telephone rang and Ann looked
at her watch. She was positively
startled to find that she had stayed an
hour talking with an entire stranger.
She had to wait till the conversation
over the wire was finished. Then she
apologized for the length of her call

The Japanese Red Cross.

Marquis Okuma has called attention
to what he terms the comparative in
activity of the Japanese Red Cross in
the present war. He says it could do a
great deal more by offering its serv-
ices in the belligerent countries.
The Japanese Red Cross is supposed
to be the wealthiest and strongest or
ganization of its kind in the world. It's
membership roll is almost 100000. In
1913 it possessed II hospitals and a
medical corps of 3,785 physicians,
pharmacists and nurses. It's capital
fund amounted to $12,000000, and its
real property was valued at much
more. The receipts of the society are
far in excess of the expenditure. In the
early period of the war, relief corps
were dispatched to England, France
and Russia, but they have since re-
turned to Japan. The society has done
considerable work in the supplying OF
bandages and other medical necessities
to the entente powers.
