THAW. SQUABBLES WITH ATTORNEYS Roger O'Mara to . Decide - on "Next . Move-dption Lies ' With Prisoner. COMMITMENT IS DEFECTIVE Stanford White's Slayer Is Erratic, Loquacious, Domineering jers, Under Promise of .Qreat Fee. Have No Writing. BHEHBROOKB, Que., Aug". i3. Har ry K. Thaw, squabbling with the Do minion's leading lawyers, retained to prevent his return to Matteawan. State Hospital -for-the Criminal Insane, from which he escaped on Sunday morning last, was tonight apparently as much in .ignorance of the. next move in his case as the casual idler around the Sherbrooke Jail. For two hours his counsel conferred this afternoon, debating whether they -would-produce Thaw in court on a writ of habeas corpus next Wednesday or abandon-the writ, surrender him to the immigration authorities and counte nance his deportation to Vermont, a procedure to which It was said here .the immigration officers had agreed. Thaw was loquacious, . erratic, dom neering and It was decided to wait the : arrival here of Rojer O'Mara, of Pitts- burg. Thaw'e-i-detscti've-guardian. Ac- cording' to the lndeTStsmdlng here, he will arrive tomorrow night by way of Montreal. Never in the history of the Province of Quebec or the Dominion of Canada, for that matter, has such a legal snarl within a snarl, case within a case, been before the courts. In brief. Thaw is held on a commit ment charging him with being a fugi tive from Matteawan, where "he was confined - on. a criminal charge." This la an - error. Acquitted - of Stanford White's murder on the ground of insan ity, he was -held there on no charge, , but as a lunatic - Both sides have admitted that the commitment is defective and it was conceded that he would be released on the writ when arraigned. Why not, then. Thaw's lawyers were asked by the immigration authorities, cancel, as it were, all your objections to his being held, turn hira over to us, have a hearing at Coatlcook, where he was first locked up after crossing the boun dary,: and we will, deport him to Ver mont? It will then be up to New Tork State to extradite him. Minister t Interior Haa Say. But the agents of the Immigration authorities here are subordinates, and ThaWa lawyers believe the final deci sion in the 'matter of deportation will come from the Minister of the Interior, who is at present in Vancouver on his vacation. Facing such a predicament, it was said tonight, that the habeas corpus hearing would be held on Wed nesday as previously set. Another possibility was suggested. Thaw would come into court, plead not guilty to the present charge and demand-trial. This, it was said, might not take place until the October term of court. "How about ltr Thaw was asked. : "Wait for Roger," he said. O'Mara was thus literally the miss ing keystone In the Thaw forces to night, and William T. Jerome, Thaw's old enemy and prosecutor, was the missing general of the New Tork forces. Thew did not appear particularly disturbed when, told Jerome was hur rying here. "So Willie's coming." he said. "For once in. my life I have lawyers who have -no tremendous amount of ability, but I am able to confer with them. I have never-had a lawyer except Del mas, and maybe a couple of others, who were worth over $25 a day. Tbaw W rum Confident. "A clique of Stanford White's friends have always pursued, and they have pursued me up here. But their influ ence is waning. Public opinion in New Tork and elsewhere is steadily grow Ing more favorable to me. Canadians are learning th& New Tork is trying to treat Canada as a little principality. But after ail I think it was wiser to have, come to Canada.. Instead of en tering .Pennsylvania. "Well, I hope . Jerome has a good time hare. I have a lot of things on Jerome. I was going to spring them at White Plains 1 nl$08. but decided not to.- I'll -spring them some time, though." " . As he rambled -on. Thaw had a stenographer taking down what he - said.. He declined to say a word about Evelyn Nesblt or the child she says is bis. . - -." -' - : The Inside" story of. how Thaw's Canadian - lawyers; were ' retained has cropped "bp "in " Sherbrooke. When Thaw arrest vu -first flashed to New York "City. a. New Tork theatrical man who had met Margaret Thaw Carnegie abroad called up the Caraegies and Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, then In New Tork. and told them Thaw's position was jerllous. The ' advisor explained that his home town was Sherbrooke and that he knew Just what lawyers to engage. It waa on his advice, it is said, that those now on the Thaw payroll were retained by telegraph and telephone. He accompanied the Carnegies here and is said to have promised the law yers staggering fees 150.000 to be dis tributed among five of them as a re tainer. But he had nothing in writing to confirm this, and the lawyers to night had no assurance from the fam ily of what they were to receive. They were -clinging to the case as being ad mittedly the most famous the Domin ion has ever had. Thaw tried to explain some of the recent history of Matteawan. Dr.' Kieb would not be the superintendent now, - he said, if it had not been for the Thaw family. "If it hadnt .been for me." he said. "Kieb wouldn't be in charge. We goj queer."

BOHEMIA DISTRICT PRAISED C. T. AViedman, of Los Angeles, Pre dicts Rich Returns at Depth. ' COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Aug. 23. (Special.) A mining camp of unusual dormant possibilities Is the description of the Bohemia district by Charles T. Wiedman, of Los Angeles, who has spent most of his 60 years in Western camps, extending all the way from Alaska to Mexico. Nowhere has Mr. Wiedman seen formations of thts char acter with greater prospects. ,."M;ners in this district have hardly got below the grass roots as yet, while in ail other camps of this character the wealth has been secured at greater depths." said Mr. Wiedman. "If this does not. prove to be the case in Bo hemia, !' will be because it ia in Ore gon and everything in Oregon ia dif ferent from anything in any other part of tne country." Mr. Wiedman is enthusiastic over the district, which he looked over In com pany with George McQueen, of the Grizzly and other rich properties. PARTY AT CRITICAL STAGE Prised cut of his party; two, the Presi dent would not be anxious to make the appointments he ml(rht recommend; three, particularly In the case of a sen ator, the Indorsement of the President In times of direct election would be worth Its weight In gold, and his con demnation would do an injury that nothing -could repair. - x President Is Determined. With the spirit of revolt growing, it- has become apparent to the Admin istration thateomethlng must be done to prevent a" disastrous split in - the party ranks.- The President is determined, how ever, that his programme shall be adopted. To minimize the opposition as much as possible, it is his purpose in connection with the currency bill to make substantial concessions in the Senate. Of course, for the President to go too far would increase the hostility of the reactionaries, but there is hope that the latter can be satisfied in some fashion and that In the end Congress will adjourn with the Democratic party still clinging together.

LOW RATES HURT COMPANY Railroad Insists Passenger Train Service Will Be Svramped by Be ing Compelled to Handle Goods Hitherto Sent by Freight. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2J- In reply to a recent order of the State Railroad Commission slicing every express rate in California of- Wells, Fargo Co. and severely criticising the relation ship between the express company and the Southern Pacific Railroad, the Southern Pacific filed today with the commission a petition for a rehearing. Already Wells. Fargo A Co. has filed its own answer, and the railroad asks permission to make common cause with the expresa company. " "It Is respectfully represented," re cites . the petition, "that, the Southern Pacific is not a principal stockholder of Wells, Fargo A Co.. but that to the contrary your petitioner does not own any stock in said express company." What the Railroad Commission said follows: "We would say . . . that there is a relationship existing between the of ficials and stockholders of some of these railroads and this express, com pany, through stock ownership and control by the same officials and stock holders of the two companies alike, which at least makes It possible for the railroads to be exploited for the benefit of the express company." The commission took the position that the express company was a para site on the railroad and by milking it forced the railroad to milk the public In reply the petition states that the Southern Pacific will not receive ade quate compensation for hauling busi ness offered to it by Wells, Fargo A Co., under the rates fixed by the com mission, which, "being very little higher than freight rates," will lessen the company's freight business. Increase its express business and "will delay the passenger train service upon which the express business is carried." ' MINERS REJECT TERMS MISSOURI LEAD WORKERS IN SIST OX RECOGXITIOX. Offer 'or Wage Increase Without Takine Xote of Vnlon Fails to Satisfy Strikers. FLAT RIVER, Mo., Aug. 2 J. With the vote today of the Flat River local of the miners' union, enough votes were recorded against the settlement of the lead mine strike on the terms proposed by the State Board of Media tion and Arbitration as to make certain Its rejection. The principal objection to the plan, from the viewpoint of the union men, is the absence of a spe cific recognition of the union. Another plan will be submitted Mon day. If that falls. It Is said, the dis pute may be arbitrated. The vote of the Flat River local of the Western Federation of Miners against the acceptance of peace terms was unanimous Union and non-union men predicted that the struggle between the min owners and the union will be of long duration. The compromise plan provided for a wage increase of 20 cents a de.y and no discrimination arainst union men. The strikers are holding out for recogni tion of the union. The vote of the Bonne Terre and the Leadwood unions cannot alter the result of the vote at Flat River, Desloge. Hercularreum and Klvlns, which completed the rejection of the peace plan.

MEAT INSPECTION IS URGED Republicans Insist Foreign Import ers Should Not Have Advantage, hut Democrats Declare Cheap Beef Is Their Idea. WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. Rapid pro gress on the tariff bill was made to day In the Senate. Wool schedule was disposed of so far as It will be con sidered by the Senate In committee of the whole, and a deep inroad was made to the free list. Though no vote was taken on free raw wool, the decisive showing on that having been deferred until the bill comes from the commtttee , of the whole, the finance committee rates on wool manufactures were agreed to without amendment and there was every Indication that raw wool would remain free. The Penrose. LaFollette, Smoot and Catron substitutes for the schedule will come up when the bill appears in the Senate proper. Final Vote Drawing 'ear. With only a part of the free list, a portion of the paper schedule and the sundries, schedule remaining to be con sidered in committee. Democratic lead ers expressed confidence that the In come tax would be disposed of before the end of the coming week. It is their hope to have the bill ready for the final vote in the Senate within two weeks. Among the articles on -the free list ratified today were agricultural im plements, beet and sugar cane, ma chinery, alcohol, horses and mules and animals for breeding, asbestos, beuxtte. bibles, breads, biscuits and many oth ers. An inspection system for foreign meat imports more rigid than that in the tariff was proposed in an amend ment Introduced and urged by Senator Cummins and the free meat section went over without action. The pend ing bill provides for the acceptance of certificates of inspection from export ing countries. Prior Inspection Sought, Senator Cummins' amendment would demand an .ante-mortem examination of meats in the countries of exporta tion and would authorise American In spectors to re-inspect the meat after It enters the United States "There can be no reason why we should permit the foreigner to supply us with diseased meat, and deny the prlvelege to our own packers." said Senator Cummins. The present bill, he declared, would give Americans no protection against beef of diseased cattle from countries that had no system of ante-mortem in. spection. He demanded an inspection system on all meats imported as rigid as our own. "Does the Senator want to'flx it so meats cannot come here from Mexico?" asked Senator Williams. "I do not particularize," said Mr. Cummins. "I simply want' to protect our consumers, no matter where the meats come from." Senator Norris also said he believed the bill, if not changed, would give the foreign meat producer an advantage over the American packer. Ckeap Heat Demaerata' Idea. Senator Williams, In charge of the bill, said the committee Intended to admit foreign meats from countries with Inspection laws Inferior to Amert. can laws provided the Secretary of Agriculture should define the original Inspection was "good enough." He said the United States has no power to compel other countries to adopt definite inspection system. "Other countries in the- past have compelled us to adopt certain rules," suggested Senator Lodge, "by excluding our meats." Senator Williams replied that the Democrats "were not trying to make the law impossible of ' admission," but were trying to "secure" cheap meats for the American people." . . . Senator McCumber offered an amend, ment proposing a countervailing of 20 per cent ad valorem on meat against countries that levy tariff on Ameri can meats. - ' Many of -the more Important items on the tariff free list, were passed over for future consideration. These In' eluded narnesa and leather goods, amber, flax, cash registers, typewriters, sewing machines, iron pipe and other articles.
