Canadian Immigration Authorities declared this afternoon that Hany K. Thaw Will be deported from Can- ada under immigration regulations as undesirable Alien. Rule under which this action will be taken pro- vides that any person within a few ears of the incarceration in a pen- itentiary or insane asylum enters Canadain territory may be sent back as undesirable, Colebrook, N. H, Aug. 19—A dis- patch from Colebrook stated that Harry K. Thaw was reported under arrest at Coaticook, a province of Quebeck.

Thaw, who escaped from Mat- teawan asylum for the criminal insane.__ The letter was postmarksd “New York, Aug. 17, 12 p m,, Station C.” .Inside on a long slip of paper was Thaw’s com- munlcation written in pencil. It ran as follows: “All well. Shall take a rest before going to Elmhurst, as I might be asked for interviews and do not wish to refuse, yet do not care to make any state- ments.” , < * B T R R S S New York, Aug. 19.—Harry Thaw’s forty-clght-hour absence from the Mat- teawan asylum for the criminal insane had established little beyond the fact that he had escaped and that the state of New York, in the opinion of those qualified to speak, had slim chance of extraditing him. That he is beyond the borders of the state was regarded as certain. With the Connecticut line only thirty miles from the asylum and Thaw and his consplrators traveling by automo bile more than sixty miles an hour, reaching Connecticut was a matter of thirty minutes or less. ‘Whether the slayer of Stanford ‘White boarded a yacht off South Nor- walk, Conn.—a theory partially ex- ploded by the identification of a yel- ‘low funneled craft which sailed from there Sunday—has not been borne out.

When found—and it was con- :#ldered a foregcne conclusion that he would be—the New York authorities may try to force his extradition on wone of two grounds. Bribery May Be Charge. First, that in escaping he technical- 1y assaulted a keeper; second, that bribery of seme attache of the agylum could be n. liither of these, if susiained, would constitute an extra- ditable offense. Howard Parnum, the gatekeeper by whom Thaw darted through the open- ing gate to an automobile, remains in Juil at Poughkeepsie. He maintains that he was innocent of implication in any plot. In New York Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, mother of the fugitive, con- tinued to receive visitors at her hotel apartments, to all of whom she ex- pressed her unfeigned joy at her son’s escape, meantime indignantly denying that the Thaw family had any hint of the matter until newspaper men told them. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, lamenting that per husband is at large, pronounced him dangerous to the community and applied for police protection. She re- called his threat to Kkill her and pro- fessed to believe that her presence on the New York stage at this time had goaded him to dash for liberty. One of the clearest accounts of Thaw’s escape comes from Mrs. James an employe at Matteawan. Maher, She was standing in the laundry tow- er, overlooking thé yard. Below, she noticed Thaw; on the roadway outside two cars. L S A TR, MARY COPLEY THAW.

Y. Aug. 19.—The con- flict between Sulzer and Martin H. Glynn over the governorship of New York continues. A clash of authority is expected at a meeting of the board of trustees of public buildings. The trustees include the governor, lieutenant governor and the speaker of the assembly. The board has authority to assign quarters for state officers and de. partments and is said to have de- cided to assign the assembly parlor on the third floor of the capitol as the temporary offices of the executive i view of Governor Sulzer’s refusal to vacate the executive suite on the second floor.

TILLMAN AGAINST SUFFRAGE Sees Woman’s Moral Doom in Her Political Victory. ‘Washington, Aug. 19.—Senator Till- man, showing some of the old time vigor that won him the sobriquet of “Pitchfork Ben,” pitched into woman suffrage in a senate speech. “It is a beautiful dream,” said he, “that female suffrage will purify politics. The vital and important thing for us to consider is the effect on the women themselves. We had better endure the evils of corruption | In- politics and debauchery in our government rather than bring about a condition which will mar the beauty and dim the luster of the glorious womanhood to which we have been accustomed all our lives. “We can better afford to have de- graded and corrupt politics than de- graded and bad women. To have both in ever increasing degree, as was the case in Rome, would make the world so unspeakably horrible as well as so corrupt that good men and women both would disappear from the face of the earth and -civilization would be blotted out like it was in the dark ages after the fall of Rome.” Bk deb kbl bl STATE OFFICIALS RECOG- NIZE GLYNN. 3 Albany, N.

Washington. Aug. 19.—Adminictra- tion officials appeared to be less op- timistic over the Mexican situation, some word from John Lind, which would make possible publication of President Wil- son’s views already in the hands of the Huerta government. Chairman Bacon of the senate for- eign relations committee conferred with the president. “At least we have done our duty,” ' said he when leaving the executive offices he discussed possible rejec- tion of the views of the United States. “We have shown the world our friend- ly intentions and it will not be our fault if the suggestions are rejected.” | There was an undercurrent of dis- cussion of possible alternatives, of which lifting the’ embargo on arms was one. Mr. Bacon declared. that would be done only after all peaceful means had failed. White House officials intimated the United States officials would take a deep interest in proper protection for William Bayard Hale, President Wil son’s friend, who has been sending reports from Mexico. has no official status his presence has been hotly attacked by Mexican news- papers.

D. Gillespie of Fargo, North Dakota, was in Bemidji yesterday on business connected with the erection of the Markham hotel annex, which will be built in the near future. Mr. Gillespie is now drawing the plans for the structure and believes he will have the prints ready to submit by September first. According to Mr. Lycan the new building will be 45 feet wide by 125 feet long, three stories high not in- cluding a modern basement which will be under the entire building. The structure will be of brick with re-enforced concrete and tile floors, metal windows and frames and wire glass windows on the exposed sides. The annex will be absolutely fire- proof and will be strictly modern in every respect. The approximate cost will be $45,000 and will contain 40 bed rooms. Baths will be installed in the majority of the rooms which will be arranged ensuite and singly. When the new structure is completed the Markham will have 122 guest rooms and up-to-date in every respect. Although the present building is stricly modern and is noted through out the state for it’s service and conveniences it has often been crowd- ed and forced to turn away guests. The new accomodations will end all trouble of this nature and guests will not be obliged to order their rooms several days before hand. ‘While speaking hotels and ac- comodations thi§ m said, “I would be very glad indeed to see a summer hotel erected at some convenient point on Lake Be- midji and while I would not care to manage it I would do everything in power to make it a success. Bemidji could and should entertain three times as many summer guests as it does. “Those who come here during the summer months are delighted with ithe city, lake and environments, What we should do now, that the location of the Sixth Normal School has been decided upon, is to get the state in- terested in the two pieces of Rug- gles pine land at the head of the lake and the piece on the east shore near the Bemidji mill, “If this is not done it is probable that Mr. Ruggles will have the pine timber on this land cut away and spoil the effect of the beautiful stretch of pine on the shores of Lake Bemidji. ‘What Mr. Lycan stated appears to be the sentiment of the business men of the city, who are working on the development of the summer resorts on Lake Bemidji. All appear to be in favor of the summer hotel which will undoubtedly be a reality in the very near future. A summer hotel will not only be a convenience to summer travelers but will be a big drawing card for this community. At the present time summer resorters from the majority of the states of the union come to Bemidji to spend their vacations and are forced to bring camping out- fits or rent cottages. Many -prefer their vacation without the trouble of much baggage and if the present plans are carried out they will be coming to Bemidji for the summer months or ‘'spend their vacations ‘at the summer hotel where every pos- sible convenience will be made for their pleasure. Miss Margaret Lowham of Crooks- ton arrived in Bemidji this noon and will remain for some time in the city as the guest of Miss Gertrude Ma- lone.
