(By Associated Press.) WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Aug. 7. Closing arguments were heard by Justice Mills in the application of Harry Thaw for his release from' Mntteawan.

D. Frye, a Grants Pass banker who is spending a few days on the Bay looking after property holdings here. "By this," I mean that steps should be taken now to acquire sufficient tide fiat on the Bay so that the prop er harbor can be developed. The harbor lines should be at least two thousand feet apart. This doesn't mean that all of it has to be dredged out next year or the year after but tho land can be secured comparative ly cheap now and there are no im provements on It to delay Its ac quirement. It Is possible, in my opin ion and in the opinion of lawyers that this tide land was wrongfully sold and that it can be recovered 'far, the benefit of the harbor. But- if cant' be bought reasonably, the poijt commissioners have the right to con demn it.
