AIDED ESCAPE
Strange Case Involving Re-
cent Activities of Man
Long in Public Eye

New York, Jan. ll.-With the police o
many cities searching for Harry X. Thaw
wanted here to answer to an indictmen
charging him with assaulting and kid
MAPPING Frederick Gump, jr., of Kansas
City, Mo-, it developed yesterday thai
the man whom the police OF Philadelphia
have arrested is not George F. O'Byrnes
Thaw's bodyguard, alleged to have beer
involved in the enticing of Gump to New
York last Christmas.
Frank p. Walsh, counsel for the GumI
family, consulted the district attorney
upon his return here yesterday from
Philadelphia.
! He informed the prosecutor that the
man in custody in that city is Oliver
Brewer of Utica, N. Y.
Brewer aided Thaw in Utica last Octo.
Der when Thaw conducted political
campaign there against supreme court
justice who had denied him a writ of
habeas corpus during his legal fight to
obtain release from the Matteawan state
hospital for the insane
According to Mr. Walsh's story to the
prosecutor yesterday Thaw apparently
left in Brewers care at Philadelphia a
number of letters and documents One
Of these, according to the lawyer, is an
agreement, drawn up but not signed,
whereby Gump set forth that he had no
objection to being whipped.
The charge against Thaw is that he
dashed Gump with whip on three occa-
sions during Christmas night in Thaw's
rooms in a New York hotel.
Brewer is held in Philadelphia on a
technical charge. He is not involved in
the accusations mentioned in the indict-
ment against Thaw and 0Byrnes, but
acted, Mr.. Walsh alleges. as Thaw's ennis
sary after Thaw left New York subse-
quent to the escape of Gump from the
hotel here. Thaw is understood to have
of preventing the youth from telling of
the alleged incidents on Christmas night.
1t was explained that Brewer was at
the hotel where Thaw stopped in Phil
adelphia last week and that Thaw left
his papers in Brewers care. not believing
the man would be questioned If publicity
was given to any story Gump might tell
the authorities. This accounted for the
belief that Brewer was 0'Byrnes, when
Brewer was located with Thaw's papers
in his possession.
Search for Thaw in Scranton, Pa, has
so far been without result.
There was found in Philadelphia an
unsigned paper which detectives say was
written by Grlmp, addressed to "my
dear master" and which emphasized the
entire submissiveness of the writer A
awakened no animosity though
the whip inspired fear, but only strength
ened the "desire to do better in the flu
ture" The letter said further: III / do |
not do better and again disobey your /
] will receive a much harder |
The whip on the back" was |
described as making the youth feel keen
Iy his mistakes.
At the Office in Pittsburg of Stone &
Stone, Thaw family attorneys, it was
said Harry Thaw would probably accept
service as soon as bail was arranged.
The attorneys understood bail arrange
nents were proceeding.

LAW IN
HANDS OF COURT
Counsel for the Government Concludes
Argument in Case of Railroad
Eight-Hour Law.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Adamson
railroad law is in the hands of the United
States supreme court. The court is to
| decide whether this statute, passed UNI
der sensational circumstances last au-
| tumn, to avert paralysis of the nations
| commerce highways, is constitutional.
Frank c. Hagerman, special assistant
attorney general, concluded his argu
ments to the countryi highest tribunal
at Las o'clock yesterday afternoon and
the court formally took the matter I'M
der consideration.
When decision can be expected is
merest speculation, both government and
railroad attorneys agreed yesterday aft
ernoon.
Mr. Hagerman went over rather
rough patch. Chief Justice White, JUS
tice McKenna and Justice Pitney piled
him with questions. Hagerman, despite
hammering, contended that anything
that had to do with turning wheel"
has TO do with commerce, and that if
the commerce is interstate Congress may
regulate it. This was in support of his
contention that Congress was within its
right in passing the eighthour law,
which the railroads contend is wage
increasing measure.
Mr. Hagerman admitted that the
Adamson law event a little further"
than any previous law, but contended it
was clearly constitutional.
Chief Justice White asked him wheth-
er because state fixed regulations for
deeds, it could fix the price at which men
must sell property. Mr.. Hagerman did
not reply directly. Justice Pitney sug- |

FIGHT FOR "DRY"
CAPITAL GOES
TO THE HOUSE
After Sheppard Bill Had Been Passed By
the Senate BY Vote of IS to
80 Late Tuesday Afternoon.

30 Lale AucSudy AilSinoVh.
Washington, D. c., Jan. lO.--The fight
for a dry national capital was trans
ferred to the House to-day from the
Senate, where the Sheppard bill for the
District of Columbia was passed late
yesterday by a vote of IS to 32. Ad-
yocates OF the measure are apparently
confident of favorable action in the
House.
The prohibiting language Of the bill
says that after November |, mo person
or persons or any house, company, as
ISOLATION, club or corporation his, its or
their agents, officers, clerks or servants,
directly or indirectly, shall in the Dis
trict of Columbia manufacture for sale
or gift, import for sale, offer for sale,
keep or sale, traffic in, barter, export,
ship out of the District of Columbia or
exchange for goods or merchandise, or So
licit, or receive orders for the purchase
OF any alcoholic liquors for beverage pur-
poses or for any other than scientific,
medical pharmaceutical, mechanical, sa-
Ornamental or other on-beverage pur
poses"
Another section says the measure can
not be construed to prevent the importa.
ton, expectation or sale of denatured
alcohol or of ethyl alcohol for scientific,
medical and like purposes, but their
and sale are limited to Ii
censed druggists or manufacturers The
so-called locker system is specifically
forbidden.
All common carriers bringing intox-
icants into the District are required to
keep a record Of the shipper and con-
signee, who must make affidavit that
they are for personal use.
Heavy penalties are provided for vio-
lations including provision aimed at
physicians who prescribe liquor for pa
TENTS without cause. Efforts absolutely
to forbid manufacture in the district
and export from it were beaten with a
record vote. An amendment by SEN
ltor Phelan which would permit sale of
wine, ale, beer and porter" also was
defeated.
There was evident spirit of bitter !
ness on the part of many senator's and |
feeling of tension that was only brok |
N few times when amendments were /
,ffered or suggestions made that the Sen. |
tie and the galleries thought humorous. |
Fhe crowd was particularly pleased with
IN amendment proposed by Senator Mar

we're loud laughs when it was read by

DAYS managing 10 keep them IN food when
they lived in a cellar for three weeks; nor to
Madame B, who works very hard for long
hours day to earn her living, that she herself
supports cdHtine where homeless soldiers on
leave may have well-cooked, good dinner for
ten cents. She manages to do this by rising at
4 o'clock in the morning, with her assistants
begging for little food from each stall in the
great market, and then working until late at
the cantine she experiences the thrill OF
being q soldier.
This next woman did not think she could
give all her sons to be killed and live; but she
did, and now works for other soldiers And
this other woman whose daughter was in Bel
gium-she too has turned her emotion into
service and cares as mother for the war
babies in a certain nursery.
At village station the men who had been
wounded were coming home. A young wife
met so joyfully the husband who came on
crutches and without an arm; mother her
boy whose face had been misunderstanding
in which Joy far unbalanced any pain.
But one woman waiting eagerly, waited
vainly, until the last men were passing. Then
seeing some from her own village she asked
them if they knew Of her Pierre And they
told her that Pierre would not come back.
She stood broken for moment. and then
with appraised arm cried clearly:

drive is to free the transportation we /,
have been eating that it may be turned /.
over to carrying food to those in our
great cities and our great industrial
centres who cannot do for themselves
what those in smaller communities and
country districts can do, to free this
transportation to carry the necessaries
to our armies and to our Allies over seas.
An ounce of transportation saved
mounts up into the hundreds OF thou
sands of tons when hundred million
people set themselves to it.
The railroads have taken off their ex-
ira passenger trains; they have stopped
their excursions. They are refusing or
delaying goods which are not impera-
tive for life and health.
But doing their utmost. they can
never effect anything like the saving
that hundred million people can, bent
on freeing so or more per cent of the
SIG worth of transportation they for
merly ate.
The power in this ounce of bread is
the power of democracy. 1t is the I'M
answerable proof of the control that we,
the hundred million, have, if we all act
and act together.
Pull together, and we can, without
law or police force, laugh at the food
Spectator and the food hoarder.
Produce to the top of our bent and
use wisely our crop, and the supply be-
comes so abundant that there is no
chance for the wicked-he is drowned
in our prosperity.
This is the meaning Of the power of
the "ounce of bread" and whether we
women grasp and follow this meaning
or not may very well settle the question
of whether we shall win this var
whether it shall be kings or people in
the world, the spirit of serfdom or of
freedom.
