It is announced by the director of the Yerkes observatory, that if scien- tific studies of the sun continue to progress as rapidly as they have dur- ing the past few years, farmers may Xknow six months in advance, what kind of crop weather they may have the following summer. THat sounds very encouraging, but until' the weather bureau is able to make a twenty-four hour forecast ‘With more accuracy than it is able to do at the present time, we shall re- fuse to become agitated over the pu;i- sibilities of a correct prognostication extending . over a period of six wonths.—Springfield Evening News, GEORGE C.

' : THAW PRESSES TOURIST POINT Claims He is Not Amenable to De- portation—Faces Board of Inquiry. IS MAKING STUBBORN FIGHT Fugitive Trying to Convince Immi- gration Authorities He Should Be Released. Coaticook,. Que., Sept. 5.—For two bours Harry K. Thaw, fugitive from Matteawan, faced a special board of inquiry seeking to deport him from the Dominion under the immigration act and pressed the point that he entered Canada as a tourist and as such was not ameneble to deportation. The board agreed to consider his conten- tion and adjourned. Thaw wag sworn and took the stand. He was followed by H. Johnson, a farmer, who drove him over the bor- der and there deserted him, and by Ben Cadieux, at whose inn at Bar ford he stopped. The testimony was taken in secret and only snatches of it could be ob- tained from counsel. L The questioning up to adjournment all bore on the clause involving “en- tering Canada by stealth.” The point of insanity was not touch ed upon. : Jerome Has Auto Ready. Expecting a quick decision and a dash to the Vermont border with Thaw, William Travers Jerome paced up and down the station platform be- low the immigration detention room where the hearing was held with his gray car held ready to start an an in- stant’s notice. Rumors flew about that Thaw’s law- yers were planning a coup and counse for New York state anmounced that Judge Hutchinson at Sherbrooke had refused to grant La Flamme, of Thaw’s counsel, a writ of prohibition. Idlers swarmed about the building. Thaw was represented at the hearing by Charles D. White, W. L. Shurtleff and H. R. Fraser. His new chief counsel, T. K. La Flamme, left town suddenly. The scene of the secret hearing was a tiny office just off the immigration detention room where Thaw spent the night under guard. E. Blake Robert- son, assistant superintendent of im- migration, was the presiding officer, assisted by Inspectors Reynolds, Will- iams and Garceau. Two physicians, Doctors Gurd and: Beauchamp, were on hand to examine the prisoner and Dr. Raymond Kieb, superintendent of the Matteawan asylum, was. held in readiness to testify as to Thaw’s con- finement there as the insane slayer of Stanford White. MAY FREE MRS, EDWARDS Will Make Another Effort to Free Woman Who Has Been Under Sentence of Death. CONVICTED OF MURDER IN 1901 Reading, Pa., Sept. 5—Another ef- fort is to be made to free Mrs. Kate Edwards, who has been in the Berks county jail for twelve years under sentence of death for the murder of her husband, John Edwards. Four governors have failed to set a day for her execution. She was sen- tenced to death in 1901 during the term of Governor Stone, who left the case for his successor to dispose of. Governor Pennypacker left the fix- ing of a date to Governor Stuart and the latter passed it up to Governor Tener, who has made no move. The case has been through all the state courts and has several times come before the board of pardons without success and now another at- tempt is to 'be made to free her. Lawyers have drawn up a petition which will be presented to the board of pardons at its next meeting on Sept. 17, Mrs. Edwards was convicted of first degree murder along with a ne- gro. The negro worked in a nearby stone quarry with her husband and was a frequent vigitor at the Ed- wards home. Five days after Eq- wards was found beaten to death both Mrs. Edwards and .the negro were arrested. After her conviction Mrs. Edwards confessed .and exon- erated her alleged accomplice and he was later by special act of the leg- islature given a new trial and ac- quitted.

When. 300 feet from the.ground watchers saw a puff of smoke from the machine and it dropped like a shot. X i State Department Counselor is Off Duty—Friction is Hint~ ed At WILSON MAY TAKE ACTIVE HAND Bryan and Official Adviser John Bas- sett Moore are Unable to Agree, l CRITICAL STAGE Chicago, Sept. 5.—A dispatcn from Washington to the Tribune says: A situation has arisen in the state department in connection with the re- lations of Secretary Bryan and John Bassett Moore, the counselor for the department, which is giving the presi- dent a great deal of concern. Mr. Moore left the department Tues- day on what in some quarters is said to be an indefinite leave of absence and in others for his vacation. This throws the bulk of the work'in con- mection with foreign affairs on Secre- tary Bryan and Assistant Secretary Osborn. Neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr. Osborn has ever had any experience in international matters prior to their entrance into the department in March || 1ast. P The situation is extremely embar- rassing tc the president, because of the importance of ‘the questions with which he has to deal. The Mexican d.!fl‘lculty is in a far more delicate state than it was before Mr. Lind was sent to. Mexico City as the special representative of President Wilson. ‘While it may be denied there is any trouble between Mr. Bryan and Mr. Moore those on the inside have seen the development of a situation which they predicted would lead to a separa- tion of the counselor from the office he holds. Mr., Moore is recognized throughout the world as a leading international authority. Because of his achieve- ments and attainments President Wil- son insisted that Mr. Moore should serve as counselor for the state de- partment. He expects him to guide Mr. Bryan over the shoals of interna- tional diplomacy. Moore Consulted About Japan. During the negotiations with Japan Mr. Moore was consulted frequently by the president and this particularly was the case during the absence of the secretary in California and on the Chautauqua trip. At that time it was reported Mr. Bryan did not like' the way things were_going and it is even said he “brought to the attention of the presi: dent the fact that certain negotiationy] ‘were in progress of which he had known nothing. The president smoothed Mr. Bryan down on, this oc- casion, when the Mexican situation became acute, and Mr. Bryan remain ed in Washington. Mr. Moore was shunted aside dur- ing the consideration of the appoint: ment of Mr. Lind and the instructions| under which he should act. It is known Mr. Moore was not informed a8 to the precise character of the Lind instructions and that what news he got of them, was obtained from sources outside of the department. It is true Mr. Bryan knew Mr. Moore was not in sympathy with the policy which he and the president had deter- mined on, that of refusing to recog- nize the Huerta government. The de- parture of Mr. Moore leaves the state department without expert interna- tional advice. Mr. Bryan studied law when a young man and practiced for a few years. He has never taken part in diplomatic negotiations prior to his assumption of the office he holds. Mr. Osborn is not a lawyer and up to the gresent time, although serving as as- sistant secretary, has had compara- tively little to do with international questions. It is expected here Wilson will seek to pour oil on the troubled waters and bring about a restoration of confiden- tial relations between Mr. Bryan and the counselor of state.

For “That Old Girl 10c A Copy DIES FROM POISON Young Woman Companion Held By Authorities Pending an Investigation. New York, Sept. 5—A mystery at- taches to the death of Carl Schoete, forty-five years old, supposed to be & Hamburg banker on his way to the Pacific coast, who was found dead {ra_m peison in a Hoboken boarding house. It may have been a case of accident, murder or suicide. The Hoboken police have locked up a comely young ‘woman of twenty- four, giving her name as Adele Schim- mel, who came from Germany with the: man recently and who had been wi;h him at the boarding house. What she has been able to tell about Schoete indicates that he ‘had lost or had been robbed of a ‘letter of credit for $32,000. and, according to’ her story, he had -talked of suicide. Schoete bore the stamp of wealth and refinement and spoke both Eng- lish and German fluently. At a Ho- hoken hotel at which he had stopped just after his arrival he had eaten un- usually expensive meals and ordered the best vintages that money could buy. His companion, who said she first met him on the steamer coming from Germany, told the police that Schoete was planning a trip to Cali- fornia on banking business and that he had pleaded with her to go with him. In one of Schoete’s trunks four kinds of deadly poisons were found. EXPLAINS 10 PRESIDENT Gives Wilson Information Regarding Mexico—Also Confers With Bryan. ‘Wasnington, Sept. 5.—William Bay- ard Hale, who spent the last three months studying political conditions in Mexico, laid before President’ Wil- son information he gathered about the. Huerta government and also con- ferred with Secretary Bryan. He declined to discuss his visit with the administration officials, but, it is understood, gave them an intimate 'description of the negotiations con- ducted by John Lind and the Huerta officials up to' a week ago, when he Jeft Mexico City. 'Dispdtches from Mexico City, say- ing prominent Mexicans belleved Huerta would resign -in favor of Ger- onimo Trevino and thus make him- self an eligible candidate for the pres- idency, lacked confirmation here but the news was not surprising to admin- istration officials. ‘While they are still hoping for a definite assurance' that Huerta will not be a candidate they realize that a plan to install him in the presi- dency has been under way for some time. No inkling has been given as to the administration’s future policy should Mr. Lind’s efforts to obtain a definite assurance of Huerta’s elimination | prove, fruitless, but.developments of either an affirmative or negative char- acter ‘are expected soon, which will -affect : the Washington government’s policy materially. e e e o c—aa——— JOHN SIMONS BREAKS LEG ning, John Simons, son of H.
