bensky. Thaw showed Increasing excitement
with news of the certainty that the
New York authorities are going to
spare no efforts to return him to

was a simple conspiracy to prevent his
return to Pennsylvania.
"I know influences are behind the
state in this matter' he said, "but
I cannot explain. My lawyers won't
let me talk. But men who want to
Veep me a lifelong prisoner will not

LOWER CALIFORNIA
READY FOR REVOLT
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2L Lower
California is about to burst into re
volt against the Huerta central gov
ernment, according to predictions of
Mexican refugees arriving; here. They
reported that the unrest was not con
fined to territory along the Interna
tional boundary.
Conditions became so critical at
Enscnada, the capital of the territory
that the entire city council with its
secretary was ousted this week. The
action was taken by Chlefe Politico,
recognized as a firm adherent to the
Huerta government. Conditions In
smaller interior towns were said to
have been even more critical than at
the capital.
The arrivals confirmed plans of con
stltutional revolutionists to open the
campaign in the territory by taking
Mexican, opposite Calexlco, Califor
nia. This would be the signal, it was
said, for uprisings at other points.

move by the New York authorities.
Crowds of sightseers eager to get
a glimpse of Thaw, began to arrive
from long distances. They gazed at
the Jail und watched the mysterious
activities of the lawyers. The Thaw
affair is booming the little frontier
town and every hotel Is full as never
before.
Will Not Hurry Case.
An Immigration inspector who re
fused to allow the use of his name,
said: "It seems to be the impression
among American officials here that
the Canadian immigration officers
can be used to catch escaped crimi
nals. They are overlooking the fact
that we don't deport men merely be
cause an American Judge and jury
found them guilty. We use our own
sense in handling each case. We are
not going to hurry now. When the
court proceedings are finished we will
give Thaw every chance to show he
Is a desirable immigrant."
Thaw's lawyers are most dissatis
fied over a postponement of the case.
OTTAWA. Aug. 21. Assuming that
Thaw escapes deportation, which is
believed likely, authorities said that
Xew York's only hope of extraditing
him will be on the ground of bribing
attaches of Matteawan, an extradit
able offense This may have to be
proved first In the New York courts
and subsequently in Canada. Both
actions practically involve a repetition
of the battle of alienists which was
a feature of the previous trials.
SHERBROOKE. Aug. 21. Habeas
corpus proceedings In the Thaw case
have been postponed until 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning. Thaw's attor
ney told the United Press their case
already is won; that Thaw is assured
of freedom and that the issuance of a
warrant for his arrest under the Im
migration law is but a defensive move
to keep Thaw in Canada indefinitely.
MAN IN GEORGIA
IS ANXIOUS TO
SECURE RABBITS
Says He Will Swap Perfectly Good
Possums and Coons for Few of
Umatilla County's Pets.
Whut is spurned by some is prized
by others. Even the lowly Jackrabbit,
condemned as a pest by Umatilla
county farmers, is coveted by some.
In witness of which statement, Major
Lee Moor house has a letter to prove
that there Is at least one man in the
United States eager to get hold of
some of the little hopping quadru
peds and who is willing to pay a good
price for them. Incidentally, he is
willing In return to send some real
Georgia possoms and coons to Pendle
ton. The letter is from Sydney Clare,
president and manager of the Fltz
Gerald Trust Co., of Fltz Gerald, Ga.,

done by rabbits to this county. It
follows:
Fit Gerald, Ga., Aug. 15, 1913.
Dear Sir: I see from a Chicago paper
that your farmers are suffering from
a raid of Jack Rabbits. I own a 10,
000 acre game preserve In Georgia and
keen a small pack of Beagle hounds
and would like to hav some of your
rabbits to turn loose here. I don't
think they would become a menace to
the farmers in this section. If you
will kindly interest yourself in my
behalf and have some one write to
me In reference to shipping a few to
me I wiil be extremely obliged. Of
course I will expect to pay liberally
for the rabbits. I would be pleased
also to send some of our famous
Georgia possums and coons if the?
are not plentiful in your state.
Faithfully yours,
SYDNEY CLARE.

broken In Middle West.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21. Predictions
that the prices of shoes to the com
mon people will double and perhaps
triple because of a scarcity of cattle
were made today by Harry Selz, presi
dent of the Selz-Sehwab Shoe com
pany. The Mexican war scare, he declared
will be nothing compared to the un
easiness which will prevail unless the
situation in the middle western states
improves.
According to reports received from
Kansas and other states today, con
ditions are rapidly becoming more
critical and a dire famine will result.
As it Is, thousands of cattle have per
ished. The situation however, may be
come more acute it is feared.
There apparently are no signs that
the drouth will be broken. The heat
wave continues intense and much suf
fering is being experienced on every

CAMINETTI SAYS HE
IS NOT DISCOURAGED
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21. "I'm
not frightened or discouraged at the
outcome of the Diggs case," said
Camlnettl, his companion in the Reno
escapade, which led to their arrest,
following the conviction of Diggs.
"Diggs was convicted for purchasing
tickets for the party. They cannot
bring that against me, so I don't see
how they can get me at all. It was
persuasion and enticement In the al
leged indictment that I thought was
the most serious charge. That was
what I feared all the time. I don't
think it looks bad for me at all."
