THAW DIFFICULTIES
WORRY OFFICIALS
Swami Will Use Law to the
Limit in Effort to Obtain
Extradition.

Robert S. tombstone and Edwin p.
Kilroe, Assistant District Attorneys, re-
turned to Mr.. SWANS office yesterday
afternoon somewhat disheartened at the
adamant attitude Of Pennsylvania ofYi-
Gals in respect OF their efforts to bring
Harry X. Thaw to New York. where he
is wanted on a charge of attacking
Frederick Gump, a Kansas City boy,
December 26. 1916.
II have the greatest assurance that
will never be taken back to New York."
Thaw told detectives OF District Attor-
ney SWANS stan when they became
friendly with him recently.
Mr.. Swami declared yesterday that all
tho machinery of the law would be used
to bring Thaw back. There are several
methods by which this might be done
in other States, but in Pennsylvania
they found Gov. Sproul and Attorney
General Schaffer hard stumbling blocks.
I'VE submitted tho case to Gov.
Sproul in a way that we thought would
appeal to any one, and I thought Gov.
Sproul and Mr.. Schaffer would be de-
lighted to right what We consider a
great wrong to the community" said
Mr.. Swami. He continued:
'-Thaw is now held in the custody OF
the Common Pleas Court of Philadel-
phia, but we will do all in our power
to get that miscreant extradited. We've
got II all over him.
We told Gov. Sproul we were willing
to follow any suggestion as to what pro-
cedure should be taken. In order that
We might get him back to New York.
He said we should have to ask per-
mission OF the Common Pleas Court.
That seems a novel proposal. because
It was an entirely ex parte case there.
In which only the Thaw family was
interested. The State Of New York was
not a party to It, but We will do that
and anything else the Governor wants
US to do"
Mr.. Swami said his detectives who
had been with Thaw reported that he
had frequently visited Philadelphia res
taurants and several cabarets, and that
at a shore resort where they accom-
panied him he boasted he would never
have to answer the Gump indictment.

from DR.. Ettinger to city officials under
the immediate authority of the Mayor.
The new bylaws were considered item

finger lighting without avail every
change suggested. Under the plea OF
abolishing red tape in the administra-
ton Of the schools the board transferred
to itself or to the president OF the board
powers which had been enjoyed by the
superintendent Since the present board
was appointed by Mayor Hylan, the sur
mise is that his wishes will not conflict
with those OF the board.
In line with the demands Of Mayor
Hylan bylaw was adopted that the au-
d!tor must submit his books to any
public accountant or accountants as the
Board or Education may direct. This
was the contention of David Hirshfield,
Commissioner Of Accounts, who had de-
manded. with the Mayors backing, to
sec the accounts of the board. but who
was prevented by Supt. Ettinger, who
denied the Mayors and Hirshfield's au-

makes this official directly responsible to
the Board Of Education or to the presi-
dent Of the board. Discussing this and
other changes, President Aiming s. Prall
said last evening:
The Superintendent Of Schools thinks
we have curtailed his powers This is
not the case. When the new board went
into once we gave him practically carte
blanche because We were not ourselves
fully acquainted with the duties Of our
own off1ces. But the powers of the
superintendent are clearly defined by
statute, and he was never intended to
be an administration officer with the
heads of all Of the departments respon-
sible to him. 1t was intended that he
should devote his time BY directing edu-

If each man. woman and boy
employed in the store has the
welfare of the store in his or
her heart and is up to the mark,
the growth of the store will be
evident to everybody.
We are pleased to have so
many assurances of our buying
public. who say they like the
plan and ways of the store
for its exclusion of
"catchpenny" practices;
for its plain, straight
forward advertising of
exact facts without ex-
aggeration of quantities
or "razzle-dazzle," topsy-
turvy reductions of price
sales for this cause, that
cause, and for no cause
at all;
for its avoidance of all
efforts to inveigle people
to purchase now or
never
Most assuredly, any store
that goes direct to the head of
the sources of supply and able
to take the largest quantity and
pay cash down in Europe or the
United States will always be
sure of having the goods for
sale at the lowest possible
prices with assurances of ex-
cellence of quality.

suffer our customers to pur-
chase here many articles usually

that have been juggled with to
lower the prices by reducing

We stand for the full pro-
lection of our customers from
many practices still common in

Special note-We are in the
