Jerome Says Indictment Is
Found but Awaits-Action
Against "Higher-Up."
t
HEARING DRAMATIC ONE
" - !
: V 4 J.
Prosecutor Vebement in Declaration
That State Will Xot Permit Jus
tice to Be Defeated by Money
Corruptly Used.
CONCORD. N. H Sept. 23. The duty
of the State of New Hampshire toward
Harry K. Thaw was the subject of ex
haustive argument before Governor
Felker today.
The legal battle In which William
Travers Jerome, Special Deputy Attorney-General
01 New York State, which
seeks to obtain the extraction oi innw
n fugitive from Justice, was pitted
against three of the fugitive's array of
counsel, was oramatic at limes.
To the charge that he had resorted
to subterfuge and was moved by ulte
rior motives In his determination to re
turn Thaw to the Matteawan Insane
Asylum. Jerome retorted with unusual
feeling that the State of New York
would not permit its Justice to do ae
feated by the corrupt use of Thaw
money.
At the conclusion of the arguments
the Governor gave counsel until Mon
day to file supplementary brlef8, so his
decision will not be known for a week
at least.
Thaw Indicted, Says Jerome.
One of Jerome's arguments that ap
noarprf to take the opposing counsel
by surprise was his statement that
Thaw is now under maicimeui m
Dutchess County, charged with con
spiracy to escape from the Insane asy
lum and that the returning of the In
dictment had been kept secret In order
that the evidence might be presented to
the Jury against "the instigator of this
plot, a man of more importance than
any one yet mentioned In this proceed
ing." In opening Mr. Jerome contented
himself with saying that the Governor
had no alternative to honoring the re
quest of the New York authorities. He
held that the only points to be deter
mined were that Thaw was wanted and
that he was in New York State when
the alleged offense was committed and
that matter of his identity.
Judge Chase followed with the argu
ment that Thaw was insane when he
escaped from Matteawan and therefore
is Irresponsible. The charge of con
spiracy had been trumped up, he said,
for the purpose of returning Thaw to
the asylum.
Trial For Conspiracy Pledged.
Mr. Jerome's argument in reply was
given up mostly to citation of prece
dents, but he pledged his word that
Thaw, If returned to New York, would
be placed on trial.
"It surely will not be contended," said
Mr. Jerome, "that the hysteria of the,
moment is sufficient excuse for con
travening these decisions of the Su
preme Court of the Nation and of the
state."
To the assertion that there was no
Indictment against Thaw he replied:
The fact is that an indictment was
found and wax signed but before the
indictment was filed a request was pre
ferred by the Attorney-General through
me. that the grand Jury suspend
further Investigation until I could re
turn from New Hampshire to present
to them evidence concerning the in
stigator of this plot a man of more
importance than any one yet named in
the proceedings and it was after a
conference between myself and one of
the grand Jury men appointed as a
committee, that the entire matter was
laid over."
"Thaw Money" Called Scandals.
With evidence of increased feeling
Jlr. Jerome then turned to the charge
that he had used subterfuge and was
moved by ulterior motives he said:
"Finally, let me say in reply to Judge
Chase as to why the New York authori
ties are so anxious to obtain Thaw the
simple reason, sir. Is this:
"From the very hour that Stanford
White lay dead on the Roof Garden
In the City of New York his life taken
either by a murderer or a lunatic from
that time to this minute it has been
said repeatedly that in the end the
Thaw money would defeat the ends of
Justice.
"So far It has not entirely accom
plished it, but wherever this case has
gone and wherever it has rested it has
left 'a trail of ignomy, distrust, fllth
and scandal behind It. that has been
absolutely appalling, and the State of
New York. sir. will not petmit Its
Justice to be defeated by the corrupt
use of money if it can prevent It and
that Is why the State of New York
wants back a man whom It regards as
a homicidal lunatic when Influenced by
his insane delusions and a vicious de
generate at other times a man
criminal in his lucid intervals and
dangerous in his insane ones."
As Jerome concluded there was a
brief conference of the opposing coun
sel and then they repl.3d briefly. Gov
ernor Stone asserted that Jerome had
hounded Thaw ever since the death of
White and Judge Chase said that the
speech of the Deputy Attorney-General
proved the contention that there
was an ulterior motive behind the
proceedings. Certain persons, he said,
wanted to punish an Insane man.
Never during his trials for the kill
ing of White did Thaw exhibit the
emotion shown today. Throughout the
hearing he gazed steadily at the face
of Jerome, not once flinching under his
grilling, but when Judge Chase pleaded
for bis return to his old home. Thaw's
eyes filled with tears.
His mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw
and his brother, Josiah. were seated
beside him throughout the day.
BOTH SIDES ARE CPIUXD
Thaw's Deportation Justified While
Right of Appeal Is Sustained.
MONTREAL, Quebec Sept. 23. The
Court of Appeals upheld today Charles
Doherty, Minister of Justice, in hav
ing seized Harry K. Thaw at Coatl
cook and deported him. Mr. Doherty,
the court held, was entitled to Ignore
the writ of habeas corpus obtained by
Thaw's counsel, because the writ had
been irregularly served. The writ was
quashed.
Justice Archambault, who delivered
the decision of the five appeal court
Judges who considered the case,
touched on the constitutionality of the
immigration act under which Thaw
was deported by finding that the act
does not override the habeas corpus
writ, despite the clause professing to
prevent a review of the action of the
minister In charge of the immigration
department, except in the case of a
Canadian or party wun a Canadian
rinnriicile.
The finding thus upholds both the
Judges who Issued the writ and Mr.
Doherty, who was acting Minister of
the Interior during the Thaw hearings

Oregon Supreme Court Decides Law
Exempts Home of Value tesa
Than $1500.
SALEM. Or., Sept. 23. (Special.)
Carpenters and builders of homes were
hit today, when the Supreme Court, in
a decision written by Justioe Eakln.
held that a mechanic's Hen could not
be enforced on a homestead valued at
$1500 or less unless exemption has
been waived in favor of It. which must
be signed bv husband and wife. It is
the first time the question has been
decided by the Oregon Supreme Court,
and it is believed it will have a far
reaching effect on building operations.
The opinion was in the case of Howard
E. Davis against C, C. Low and Lena
Low. appealed from Klamath County.
The court says:
"Section 221, Lord's Oregon Laws,
provides: 'The homestead of any family
shall be exempt from Judicial sale for
the satisfaction of any Judgment here
after obtained.' Section 222 provides:
'Such homestead shall not exceed
11500 in value.'
"Section 223 specifies that the act
shall not apply to decrees for the fore
closure of any mortgage, but that the
mortgage must be executed by hus
band and wife." After citing numer
ous authorities, the pplnion contin
ues: "Plaintiff has tried the case on the
theory that the homestead is not ex
empt from liability upon a mechanic's
lien. What plaintiff's remedy might
be In a case like this if the homestead
were of greater value than $1500it is
not necessary now to determine.'

PHONE RATES ATTACKED
Salem Council Plans to File Com
plaint With State Body.
SALEM, Or, Sept 23. (Special.)
Alleging that the rates are unreason
able, the City Council of Salem is
making plans to file a complaint with
the State Railroad Commission against
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Company. Councilman Minton, who of
fered a resolution asking that a com
plaint be filed, declared that the com
pany's rates had been Increased unrea
sonably In the past two years, and that
they were not the same to all sub
scribers. He says a person who had a
telephone under the old schedule of
rates still pays that rate, while a new
subscriber has to pay more.
Mr. Minton also takes exceptions to
the company compelling subscribers tn
make a deposit of $5, declaring there
is no reason wny a customer should
lend the corporation that sum for one
year at 6 per cent interest in order to
have telephone service.

Must Be Enlarged.

Dealers at Independence Inactive
and Growers Holding Crops.
INDEPENDENCE, Or., Sept. 23.
(Special.) The hop market was quiet
here today. Dealers were not Inclined
to offer more than 25 cents, and after
the report in this morning's paper, the
growers were more inclined to hold on.
There were no reports whatever of any
sales, and bidding was not spirited.
The bullish reports in The Oregonlan
today led the growers to expect quite
a change In the market.
It has not been estimated as yet what
the yield Is In this part of the state.
Thousands of bales have been hauled
to warehouses. The Oregon Electric
Railway has erected a large warehouse
at East Independence, and it is re
ported that this is about full.

AN OLD RECIPE
10 DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turn3
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp
and stops falling hair. Tears ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy." You will get a large
bottle for about 60 cents. Everybody
uses this old, famous recipe, because no
one can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does It so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with It and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap
pears, and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Adv.
"THE GREATEST KIDNEY REMEDY

GRATEFUL WOMAN.
I want to tell you how much good
your Swamp-Root did me. About four
years ago I suffered from what the
doctors called fistula, and for two years
of that time I endured what no tongue
can tell. I also had inflammation of
the bladder and I tried doctors' medi
cines without receiving any help.
Someone told me about Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root.
After giving It a thorough trial I re
ceived relief, so kept on using it, and
today I am a strong and well woman.
If I ever feel badly or o-t of sorts, I
take Swamp-Root and it always
straightens me out. I honestly believe
that this medicine would cure all trou- "
bles you recommend It for, and It Is a
pleasure for me to send my testimony
and photograph to you. I think Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is one of the
greatest medicines on earth.
