TO REQUEST ACTION
ON SCHOOL MATRON
Home and School Council Will
Appeal Again to Board of
Education.

Whether to. carry the question of
providing a matron in the public
schools direct. to the Senate commit
tee or refer it to the Board of Educa-
tion was discussed at a meeting of
the Home and School council of the
District last night.
After a prolonged argument IL was
decided again to ask the Board Of
Education to act Several OF the
speakers held that since the board
had repeatedly been approached on
the subject, but had not acted, the
better course would be to go direct to
Congress. That the cooperation Of
the board was essential to the ssuc-
cess of the plan was the contention
of the opposition.
A committee reported that It was
advisable to rope of certain streets
where high school cadets were drill
ing for the safety OF the boys. The
matter is to be taken up with Major
Pullman.
A strong plea to support a leS cue
for the protection of youngsters who
are in difficulty with the police was
urged by Judge Latimer, of the
Juvenile Court. He said a number of
the cases brought into court should
never be taken out of the homes.
Resolutions approving the teach
ers' retirement bill were adopted.

western Moravian frontier. In the
latter sector the Roumanians follow
ed up their successful offensive of
Thursday with a counter assault that
drove the enemy from a line OF
trenches in the Kasino valley,
Private advices from the Rouma-
nian front state that the Teutons are
rapidly constructing wooden bridges

On the Russian line the strongly re-
enforced German units on the Riga
front took the offensive yesterday
against the Russians south of Lake
Babit, but were beaten back. Petro-
grad states that the attack was made
in dense formation, following the tao
tics employed by the Germans on the
Russian front during the first two
years of the war.

Vealing that two more boys, in addi-
tion to Frederick Gump, were ap-
preached by Harry Thaw, and that

One OF the boys wrote he was in the
Grand Central Station here when he

whether he wouldn't like to make
some money.
He invited the boy to an uptown
apartment. Cocktails were served.
The next morning, the boy said, he
awoke bruised and sore from a fog
zing he had received.
The second boy was told he could

Governor of Pennsylvania Ask
ed Not to Sign Extradition
Papers Till Hearing.
HARRY CALLED IRRATIONAL
Still in Stupor and Unable to
Talk as Result of Effort
at Suicide.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 1.-THE fight
to keep Harry K Thaw out of New
York has begun.
Although Thaw is still unable to talk
and is described as mot quite rational
by physicians attending him at St
Mary's Hospital. Governor Brumbaugh
has already been asked not to sign ex-
tradition papers without giving Thaw's
lawyers a hearing.
Henry J. Scott, attorney for the Thaw
interests, sent Governor Brumbaugh a
letter yesterday which opens the way
for the legal battle which it is believed
will be made to keep Thaw from an
swering the charges Frederick Kump.
5r.. OF Kansas City, has made against
him. Thaw is under indictment in New
York, charged with whipping Gump on
Christmas night
Must wait Tor Thaw.
Mr.. Scott would. not admit that the
letter sent to Governor Brumbaugh
made it certainty that the Thaw fam
ny would put up a vigorous fight to
keep the slayer Of Stanford White in
Pennsylvania.
Anything / or any one else might
say now would be premature" he said.
''Mr. Thaw himself must be consulted
before we know what will be done"
Thaw is still in a stupor from the ef-
fects Of his attempt to kill himself with
a razor when he found he was about to.
be turned over to the New York dis
trict attorney.
Want Private Sanitarium.
Efforts of the defense will be di-
rected toward having Thaw COM
mitted to a sanitarium in Pennsyl-
vania rather than Matteawan, it is
admitted.
First intimation' of this came from
Henry Scott, Attorney for Oliver A.
Brewer. Brewer was ordered extra
dited to New York to answer an in
dictment that charges him with con-
spiracy in the kidnapping of Frederick
Gump, jr., whom Thaw is accused of
having hogged.
''The courts of Pennsylvania might
want to know whether Thaw's efforts
10 kill himself were not an evidence
Vi 1u1dullgg OCOLl Ghlu
THE courts of this State also have
a right to know whether a prima
faciescase has been made out against
Thaw in New York. he said.
To BE Tried in Philadelphia.
Added to this is statement sew
ersl days ago by Captain of Detec-
tives Tate:
"Thaw will be arraigned, in Central
police court on the charge of at
tempted suicide as soon as he re-
covers"
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, Harry's
mother, is expected from Pittsburgh
tomorrow or Tuesday, to be by the
side OF her son when he fights extra
dition.
Mrs. Thaw has engaged a suite OF
rooms in st. Mary's Hospital directly
adjoining those occupied by her son.
As soon as Thaw's condition per-
mits his mother, lawyers, and detec-
tives will hold q conference at the
would-be suicides bed.
