COLEBROOK. X. H.. Sept. 10. Harry
Kendall Thaw, fugitive from Mat
teawan, slept on American soil to
night, barricaded lu a hotel room here,
after one of the most exciting daya In
his career.
Thrust unexpectedly over the Cana
dian border early today despite the
writ of habeas corpus demanding; his
production before the King's bench In
Montreal next Monday, he was a frea
man for three hours and during that
time drove madly In an automobile for
50 futile miles through the hills of
Vermont and New Hampshire. Near
noon he ran Into the arms of a New
Hampshire Sheriff and was brought to
Colebrook. where he retained counsel
to resist extradition.

William Travers Jerome, rushing
hither on a special train, will assume
charge of the case for New York State

ward of the state, returned to Mat

charged with no crime, held on no war
rant. Fearing kidnaping at the hands
of officers from New York, he asked
for a special guard, and Chief of Police
Kelley swore in 12 special deputies, all
armed. They were patrolling the streets
about Thaw's hotel tonight.
Judgv Chamberlain, of the Superior
Court, will hear tomorrow the applica
tion of Thaw's lawyer for a writ of
habeas corpus. The fugitive baa tele
phoned lawyers far and near and pur
" posea to fight the return to Matteawan
to the bitter end. He ia afraid of Je
rome, however, and when he heard that
his former prosecutor was coming,
asked for the special guards.
Ijiwjfra Are Assembling.
L. U. Vorhaus. 'of New York City,
who, tt is said, will conduct the battle
against extradition, arrived tonight
from Fabians, N. H. T. R. E. Mclnnea,
of Ottawa, one of the framera of the
Canadian immigration laws, under
which Thaw wa a unceremoniously
deported, also ia here. He arrived at
Coaticook. Que., today to consult with
Thaw aa associate counsel, only to
learn hl client had gone. He denounced
the deportation as contempt of court
and said that proceedings had been in
stituted to punish those who had par
ticipated in Thaw's removal.
Thaw himself issued this statement
tonight:
"What occurred under the English
flag this morning is something I can't
discuss, but we believe good Canadians
will do what is right. Now I have come
to New Hampshire, but only on my dif
ficult way home to Pennsylvania.
-"There is no honest legal charge
against me and we trust New Hamp
shire won't accept any subterfuge from
a few officials of a larger state.
"We hope citizens of New Hampshire
who won't be bluffed will write the
Governor."
Prisoner KraUti Removal.
Thaw's ejection from Canada began
with the breaking of a window pane.
Aroused from his cot in the Immigra
' tion detention room at Coaticook and
told he was to be taken across the bor
der at once, he flew into a rage, picked
up a heavy glass tumbler and with all
his might hurled it at the head of the
nearest Immigration officer. The offi
cial dodged and the tumbler crashed
through a window.
Five minutes later Thaw waa half
carried, half dragged, down the stairs,
forced Into an automobile and whirled
toward Norton Mills, Vt., nine miles
away. He protested throughout the
short trip, but his guards Ignored him.
At 8:5a he was whisked past a gray
stone slab marking the boundary, and
like a rabbit being released was set
down gently on a bit of open ground.
He whimpered in bewilderment, look
ing north, south, east and west, as If
trying to decide which way to go. Half
a dozen of the idlers stepped toward
him timidly, but none attempted to lay
hands on him.
Vermont Official Feared. .
For perhaps half a minute Thaw
stood there, bis hat pulled over hla eyea,
his tair awry, his face unshaved. hla
clothes rumpled. Then, as there was
nothing else to do, he climbed into the
automobile of a newspaper correspond
ent and asked to be driven away.
Take me to the New Hampshire
line," he Implored. "Jerome haa got
the Attorney-General of Vermont fixed.
In New Hampshire I believe I would
have a fighting chance against extra
dition. Maybe we can reach a railroad
somewhere and I can buy a through
ticket to Detroit."

SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 10. (Spe

into the city public utilities depart
ment. She said she was from West
c ..it . eh wa. exnectinK a baby
in a few days and that she must have
a telephone.
But the Telephone Company had said
it would cost too much to conn-.
house with their system and had re
fused to aid her. Even a temporary
line, strung along trees and high
stumps, would cost $150. On this they
would get two weeks' rental.
She told Superintendent Valentine
she lived blocks from anywhere; she
could not afford a hospital; phone serv
ice was a matter of life and death.
Valentine went to the phone com
pany. "Gentlemen." he said, "here is where

case; she's got to have a phone, mere a
no law to compel you to give her on

Way out past the last line of houses
in West Seattle, a phone line strings.
It's probably the most costly service
the company has.
Meanwhile, the baby has arrived.
Telephone offlciala have confided to

duty. Don't try to pin any medal

As, a few hours prior to making
these remarks, Mr. Manning had dived

had seized a drowning man, was pulled
under by him and bad lo knock him
senseless to save his own life, and then
had towed him 100 yards to shore. It
will be seen that he is not inclined to

yesterday morning, however, declare it
was a feat of rare heroism.
Turner Starts to Kant Side.
Manning, who served in the Boston
fire department and went into the
Portland department only two weeks
ago as a probationer, was crossing the
Broadway bridge on a Vancouver car,
when his attention was directed to
David Turner, who was struggling In
the river. Turner, who "had been drink

and. in his confusion, started to swim
to the East Side.
He was weakening and on the point
of sinking, la mid-stream, when cries
of people on the bridge caused Man

he leaped from the car, pulled off his
coat and in almost the same motion
had climbed on the rail and dived.
He made a long, easy, head-first
plunge. WThen he came up he was

Honr Bill Defended.
WASHINGTON; Se.pt. 10. Samuel
Gompers, president 'Of the American
Federation of Labor, appeared today
as a witness before the House lobby
investigating committee, beginning an
'.nquiry into organized labor's efforts
to influence legislation by Congress.
Mr. Gompers, questioned by his at
torney, Jackson H. Ralston, gave the
committee a detailed statement of the
aims and purposes of the American
Federation of Labor, frankly told of its
efforts, through a legislative commit
tee, to Influence Congress toward the
enactment of legislation favorable to
the workers, and declared that in this
effort opposition of the National As
sociatlon of Manufacturers always had
been encountered.
"The only evidence that I and my
colleagues ever have had as to the
existence of the National Association
of Manufacturers," he added, "was vin
dictive antagonism to everything we
advocated, no matter how humane.
Federation's Alma Outlined.
At the outset of his testimony, Mr.
Gompers was asked to tell the alms of
the American Federation of Labor.
"It aims," he said, "to relieve the
working people from burdensome, long
hours of toll; to protect them In their
work, protect their lives and health; to
Improve their material, moral, social
and political standing; to bring about
a better condition for the toilers of our
country as a reward for services they
render to society." '
Tracing the history of legislation for
the benefit of labor, Mr.Gompers claimed
credit on behalf of the Federation for
the wofk of legislative committees in
Washington and in many states of the
Union, asserting that all labor legis
lation was constantly being urged on
legislative bodies through argument by
representatives of the working people.
The witness said the American Man-
ufacturers' Association had not always

LODGE CONVINCED
DEATH IS NOT END
SCIENTIST SAYS PERSONALITY
PERSISTS IN BEYOND.
Supposed Occult Occurrences Capa
ble of Being Explained, Brit
ish Society Is Told.
BIRMINGHAM, England, Sept. 10.
Published forecasts of the address of
Sir Oliver Lodge, president of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, intimating that he
would make statements of a startling
character concerning immortality and
the proof of life after death, although
publicly denied by Sir Oliver himself,
caused his address at the meeting of
the association tonight to be antici
pated with lively interest and heard
with profound attention. His subject
was "Continuity," and, summarized in
his own words. Sir Oliver's argument
was:
"A marked feature of the present
scientific era is the discovery of and
interest in various kinds of atomism.
so that continuity seems in danger of
being lost sight of.
"Another tendency is toward compre
hensive negative generalizations from
a limited point of view.
"Another is to take refuge in rather
vague forms of statement and to
shrink from closer examination of the
puzzling and the obscure.
"Another Is to deny the existence of
anything which makes no appeal to
organs of sense and no ready response
to laboratory experiment.
"Against these tendencies the author
contends. He urges a belief in ultl
mate continuity as essential to science;
he regards scientific concentration as
an inadequate basis for pliilosopnic
generalization; he believes that obscure
phenomena may be expressed simply
If properly faced, and he points out
that the non-appearance of anything
perfectly uniform and omnipresent Is
only what should be expected, and is
no argument against its real, substan.
tlal existence."
In conclusion. Sir Oliver touched on
the question of life after death. He
declared his conviction that "occur
rences now regarded as occult can be
examined and reduced to order by the
methods of science, carefully and per
slstently applied," and that "already
the facts so examined have convinced
me that memory and affection are not
limited to that association with matter
by which alone they can manifest
themselves here and now, and that per
sonality persists beyond bodily death.

LANE OPPOSED TO
POSTOFFiCE PLANS
Postmaster Works for
8-Story Building.
DATA SENT TO WASHINGTON
Room for Federal Offices Is
Senator's Proposal.
RENTALS $2500 MONTHLY
Mr. Myers Declares It Would Be Im
possible to Spend $1,000,000 on
Two-Story 'Shed' Legitimately
and Economy Is Urged.
To abandon all plans for the erec
tion of a two-story Postoffice building
in Portland and to substitute therefor
plans for the immediate construction
of an eight-story office structure is
the purpose of Senator Harry Lane and
Postmaster Myers, who hope thereby
to save the Federal Government tne
sum of $30,000, or $2500 a month In
rent now being paid annually by the
various Federal departments for office
space in various parts of the city.
This amount Is 10 per cent per annum
on f300,000.
Postmaster Myers said yesterday
that he would resist any effort of the
Government to spend $1,000,000 for a
low, shed-like building on the block
bounded by Broadway, Gllsan. Tark
and Hoys streets or any other block,
tor that matter as now contemplated.
'Sinful xtanU," Say Mr. Myers.
"It will be a sinful waste of money,"
he said, "to put $1,000,000 into any
such building and then not provide for
the score or more Federal offices that
now are paying big rents for space in
private quarters scattered all over the
business district.
"F'ir $1,000,000 we can put up nn
eight-story building covering a whole
"block and all the Federal offices that
now ate paying rent which aggregates
more than 30.000 a year will have
home. Tht "Government will save thlsi
large- sum, the offices will be better
abli to do business and the public wlU
be better accommodated."
Data Are Gathered.
The postmaster has been working
on this plan ever since he assumed of
fice. While he served as private sec
retary to Senator Lane the two dis
cussed this subject and when Mr.
Mytrs came to Portland he set at work
at once gathering data to be laid bc
fpre the public buildings committee of
the Senate, of which Senator Lane is
a member.
It Is expected that Senator Lane will
take immediate action at Washington
to abandon all proceedings for the erec
tion of a two-story building.
"By eliminating red tape," said Mr.
Myers yesterday, "Portland will suffer
no delay through this action. We hav
an appropriation of $1,000,000, and for
that amount of money we can put up
an eight-story building. It would be
impossible to spena that much on a
two-story structure and do it legiti
mately. What we want in Portland Is
a modern office building such as any
private corporation would put up.
Check on "Extravagance" Aim.
"Even the plans that we have in
mind do not provide accommodations
for the United States Courts. With the
money that the Government could get
for the site of the present Postofflco
building we could provide space In the
new structure for every Federal office
4n the city and give ample accommoda
tions to all.
"Senator Lane is heartily in sympa
thy with this movement. He hopes to
establish a precedent In Portland and
in future prevent the extravagant
waste of public money in erection of
Federal buildings."
The following list of Federal offices,
renting private quarters, has been com
piled by Mr. Myers atid forwarded to
