HARRISBURG. Pa, July 16.-Attorney-
General Schaefer in an opinion sent to
Gov. Sproui late to-day recommends
that the requisition OF the Governor Of
New York for return to New York city
of Harry X. Thaw. now confined in a
Philadelphia asylum. be refused on the
ground that Thaw Is a lunatic by for
NAL judgment OF a court. The Gov
ernor will follow his advice and for

Mr.. Schaefer refers to the refusal OF q
similar reQuisition by Gov. Brumbaugh
In 1917 and to the contention OF the
New York authorities that Thaw has
sufficiently recovered to return for trial
and then says: "In my opinion the
status Of Thaw is to-day Just what Il

the first requistion; that Is to say he Ia

FISH SMELLED FAR OFF

A Whit of famous herring transac-

ord of Commissioner OF Accounts Hirsh-
fields hearing OF the charges which ex-
State Senator William M. Bennett, rep
resenting the West Side Taxpayers Asso-
citation. filed with Mayor Hylan against
the Rev. DR.. Jonathan C. Day, Commits
sioner of Public Markets. The. Whit had
to do with part of some 400. 900 pounds
of fish which; Mr.. Bennett alleges, DR..
Day bought in the name Of the city at
seven cents a pound before receiving an
appro 1riation.
Max Greenbaum, a butcher living at
1923 East Eighty-second street. told about
the herring. The witness said that on
April 2, 1917, he rented space from the
Department of Markets under the
Greensboro bridge. -r.
II had to give It up," he added, be
cause the department put In there zoo
barrels of herring which smelled so bad
you could smell them to Third avenue"
Mr.. Bennett declared in his charges
that tine bill for the fish had not been
paid, that the Market Commissioner al
lowed the fish to become spoiled so that
| It became almost dead loss to the city,
and that he involved the city In possible

SHIPPING BOARD NOT
TO USE NAVY MEN
Stevens Denies Statements
Credited to Him.
spccioi DsspatcA to Tnr sus.

WASHINGTON, July 15.--vioe-Chair-
man Stevens OF the Shipping Board to-
day denied statements credited to him
to the effect that navy men would man
the vessels OF the Shipping Board II a
general strike OF seamen 10 called. AZ
the same time he denied Implications
that the Shipping Boards action had
forced wage increase upon the Amer
lean Steamship Association. He issued
the Following formal statement:
The statement appearing in the pub
lie press that had stated that the on
GERS and men Of the navy would man
the ships owned and controlled by the
United States Shipping Board II the
threats of union officiaSs TO force a gen.
eral strike were carried out, IL untrue
have made no such statement The
Shipping Board has not considered what
means II might take to movs-its ships
In case II were faced with a prolonged
tieup. 1t announced Its decision con-
corning wages and conditions of employ
ment with the expectation that the
terms would be accepted by the men,
and 1t still hopes for a speedy settle
ment.
"Fnrthermore., desire to point out
that the telegram sent me by Mr.. Mooney
of the American Steamship Association,
and given by him TO the press, Is mac
curate and misleading.
The implication from these state
ments In the telegram Is that the Ship
ping Board by its action In announcing
wage increase mas forced the Ameri-
can Steamship Association to agree to
substantial increases In the entire per-
sonnet of American ships which the
American Steamship Association would
not have otherwise done The Shipping
Board has no apologies to make for the
wages II has announced. II considered
the decision fair and Ia willing to as
sumo the full responsibility
The facts are that the American
Steamship Association had previously
voted for 10 per cent. increase In the
pay of officers and had also voted for q
10 per cent increase In wages of the
| men without any solicitation from the
Shipping Board Consequently the
only difference between the action OF
the Shipping Board and the action OF
| the American Steamship Association is
the difference between a 10 per cent in
| crease in the pay of the men and a Sic
fiat increase.
The Substantial increases.' therefore
which the Shipping Board has forced
upon private steamship companies by
Its action amount to $3.50 per month for
| the men alone, and not. as the telegram
| Indicated. $40 per month for the men and
10 per cent. for the officers"

replied: "I will have to refer you TO the

/ Extracts from the minutes of the
