CLOCK WILL CHECK EFFICIENCY AND SKILL OF CITY WORKMEN. ONLY BEGINNING DESIRE FOR III Secretary' Lane Talks of Na tional System for Devel opment of Territory. Point to Be Made Habeas Cor pus Action Is Not "in Be half" of Prisoner. JEROME GOES TO QUEBEC Determination to Call on Dominion Officials Rumored Thaw Re leases Captors From Lia bility for Damages. SHERRROOKE, Aug. SI. Harry K. Thaw's lawyers, swept off their feet by the sudden move of William Trav ers Jerome in obtaining through John Boudreau, the Coaticook Chief of Po lice, a writ of habeas corpus requit ing that Thaw be produced in the Su perior Court here Tuesday, spent the day in conference and gave renewed expression tonight of their belief that the writ would not be sustained. Thaw spent the day in his cell writ ing letters and dictating to his steno grapher. W. L ShurtlefT. of Coaticook, the first attorney who was retained for Thaw after his arrest, said today he had heard that Boudreau told friends he had signed the petition for the writ of habeas corpus in the Thaw case through a mistake. Some one had told htm, so the story ran, that he was affixing his signature to a documen which would indemnify him should Thaw decide to sue for false arrest. He was Thaw's captor at Coaticook and in his petition for the writ se forth that he feared he might be liable for damages. Boudreau Denlra Ignorance. Boudreau denied, however, that he had signed the application without knowing what he was doing. Friends might criticise his act, he added, bu he had acted with his eyes open. Thaw's lawyers denied they were trying to coerce Boudreau into asking for discontinuance 01 the writ. Mr. Jerome and his assistant. Deputy Attorney-General Franklin Kennedy, were out of town today. They left here Saturday night for Quebec. There were reports that they had decided to Ka on to Ottawa to see Dominion of ncials, but this could not be confirmed here. Should Tuesday's court battle go against New York in its fight to return Thaw to Matteawan, two possible lines of action still will be open. One would be to have the commitment on which Thaw is held nolle prossed by the Min ister of Justice: the other would be to renew efforts looking to its withdraw al by Alexius Dupuis, the Coaticook Justice of the Teace who drew it up. JuHlIr-e Dupal Prrurd Hard. Duouis has remained obdurate so far. although he says the immigration authorities, who are as desirous as are those from New York to get hold of the prisoner, have been pressing him hard. Emissaries from the Thaw family have likewise visited the Jus tice. Thaw is highly incensed at Boud reau for askftig for the habeas corpus writ, saying he never had any intention of suing anybody. It became known tonight that he had made affidavit to this effect before a notary yesterday, signing a document releasing the Chief of Police from any liability. At the same time he signed another pa per repudiating any interest in the proceedings. As a habeas corpus writ is supposed to be "in behalf" of a pris oner, these Thaw documents will be considered in contesting Boudreau's right to ask for a writ.

MUNICIPAL SHOPS. Commencing tomorrow morning, clock watching In the city service is to have a new significance. Instead of being used to tell the hour and minute to quit work. It is to be used to guage efficiency, thrift and skill of workmen. A new time clock, fitted with special efficiency apparatus, has been Installed in the municipal shops, and similar clocks are to be installed in other divisions of the city government to check employes. Under the plan in the shops employes will, by means of a card sys tem, punch the time of commencing a certain piece of work and the time of completion. It will be possible to tell just how good the work man is by the speed and quality of work. The clock will be used also in preventing joyriding in city automobiles. Each city car will be sent to the garage at 6 P. M. or s ooner and will be checked "In" on the clock. The hour it is taken out again will be recorded. Any night trip's will have to be explained to members of the City Commis sion over the department in which the car belongs. CANAL WORKMEN VALUABLE STYLE'S HOPES HIT St. Mary's Graduates Told to Dig Up Old Duds. VATICAN ORDERS MODESTY Personal Representative of Pius X Says Women Should Be Xeat and Stylish Without Adopting Silly Ideas of Fashion. CHICAGO, Aug. 31. (Special.) Sev eral scores of Chicago young women and some not quite so young were planning to attend the annual alumnae reunion of St. Marys-of-the-Woods Col lege and Academy, near Terre Haute, Ind. It was to have been a particu larly brilliant reunion because some new buildings were to be' dedicated. and unusually brilliant ceremonies were to be held. Old friends, separated since girlhood days, were to meet again. Married or single, the women who expected to at tend this reunion have anticipated an ODDortunitv to display, by means of gowns of the latest fashion and what ever jewels can be mustered, their pros perity, real or pretended, so that otn- ers may see and rejoice or envj, ac cording to temperament. Consequently, several scores or dress makers were called into consultation. nd gowns of the latest fashion were designed. There were evening frocks for the reception, cut low mat ai monds might sparkle to advantage on nowy bosoms. There were skirts witn the saucy little slit, through wnicn might twinkle just a glimpse of a trim ankle, bearing, perhaps, a jewelea bracelet or a tiny watch. It was even whispered that perhaps a kneelet, such as was disnlaved at the recent conven ion of Jewelers, might De worn. Ana all of these skirts were to be narrow, according to the prevailing mode. These were the plans yesteraay. Todav all is different Closets are being ransacked, skirts of another year are being prougni to ngni, ana uiu hirtwaists with hign necks are oe- ne furbished up for wear. Diamonds nd pearls will be left at nome ana plumes will not wave in the Septem ber breezes. All this is because of Most Rev. J. Rnnzano. D. D.. aoostolic delegate, is Chicago and will be the honored guest at the ceremonies it Mt Marys. Pone Plus X recently pronounced srainst the decollete gown, the slashed kirt and other prevailing fashions, so ut of resoect to his personal repre sentative all of these must be absent from the ceremonies at which the apos tolic delegate is to be present. A'umnae of St. Marys residing in CMcago have received the following etter setting forth tne views or ine isters n ch-rge of that institution on the matter of dress: In notifying you that this year we nticipate the date of the alumnae re nlon in order to have it coincide with the college dedicatory celebration, we id not announce that His excellency the Most Rev. J. Bonzano. D. D., apos tolic delegate, will preside at the cere monies, together with other eminent Dersons. We are certain the knowl edge of this honor to your alma mater will afford you mucn pleasure. "Also, we omitted to say, it is our request that through regard ior tne istinguished guests ana your aima mater, no decollete, elaborate, or narrow-skirted gown be worn at the re ception or any other function of the reunion. Mgr. Bonzano said: "Everv eoori citiaen should realize that women's dress of today is decided ly immodest and is becoming more so ach year. omen can he neat or ap pearance and stylishly dressed without adopting such silly ideas as have been advanced by the fashion-makers In Europe." Lister at the Oregon Hotel last night. where he stopped for a few hours be tween trains with his secretary, IrviD W. Ziegaus, en route to Tacoma, where the Governor will officiate at tne lay ing of the corner-stone of a $350,000 high school building this morning. Governor Lister was returning from Colorado Springs, where he attended the convention of Governors with the chief executives of 21 other states. He laughingly compared his own case with that of Governor Cruce, who, was reported, was unablo to attend the Governors convention Decause no feared that his Lieutenant-Governor would dc something that would em barrass him in his absence. Tho Governors convention was opened by an address by Governor Lister on "A State Department of Ef ficiency and Economy. Governor Lister believes that the convention will be of great value, In that the Governors were enabled to exchange Ideas and experiences. Before going to. Colorado Springs he attended the tri-state good roads meeting at Eureka, Cal., where the Pa ciflc Highway was a principal topic of discussion. REPORT IS DUE TUESDAY ATTOKXEY-GEXERAL IS HOME FROM BAXDOX PROBE. LISTER EN ROUTE HOME Meeting of Governors at Believed of Value. Eureka Governor Lister, of Washington, a Democrat, after having left tho ex ecutive affairs of his state in the hands of Lieutenant-Governor Hart, a Re publican, for two weeks, will return to Tacoma to resume the reins of office this morning. Nothing has happened In his absence to disturb the entente cordiale between- the Governor and his chief subordinate. "This is one case where a Demo cratic Governor can safely leave things in the hands of a Republican Lieutenant-Governor," eakL Governor While Declining to Declare Himself, Belief Is He AVill 'ot Recom mend Any Prosecutions. SALEM. Or., Aug. 31. (Special.) While declining to declare himself, it Is hardly probable that Attorney General Crawford, who made an inves tigation at the instance of Governor West of the alleged deportation from Bandon of Dr. Bailey K. Leach, Social ist editor, will recommend the prose cution of any residents of the city. He is not convinced that Dr. Leach was deported. "I am convinced." said the Attorney General, "that Dr. Leach learned many citizens of the town desired him to leave. So far as I could learn he was not threatened as he departed. "Dr. Leach bought a ticket and got on a boat. Other citizens did the same thing. He got off the boat at Coquille, as did other citizens. From Coquille he went in an automobile to Marshfleld. He got on another boat and went to the beach. "I believe the story has been greatly exaggerated. For instance, I could learn nothing of Dr. Leach having been placed on exhibition, made to kiss the flag or something like that. and made to sing the 'Sta.'-Spangled Banner.' "One of the men questio-ed admitted that at Marshfleld someone asked that Dr. .Leach be pointed out to him. A man replied, 'That is Dr. Leach,' point ing to the editor." The Attorney-General filed copies of all evidence obtained by him with the Circuit Clerk for the Circuit Judge and District Attorney to examine. He will file a report and his recommendations with Governor West Tuesday. Mean while he will aiake an investigation of authorities to determine what consti tutes a "mob" and other features of the case. ROM VISITS WOODMEN HEAD COXSf Ii GCEST OF HOXOR OF PORTLAND CAMPS.

Next year I am going to urge on Congress that it make such a beginning. "We have demonstrated pretty thor oughly now that the Government is ca pable of undertaking such projects. While it Is unlikely that .much of the equipment on the canal could be used in such work, as it has been planned by the engineers to last only to the completion of the waterway, at the same time the engineers on that work have developed in it a vast capacity, which the Government can use.
