STATE WAS NOT REPRESENTED Concord, N. H, Sept. 16.—In the United ‘States district court in this city Judge Edgar Aldrich granted the petition of counsel for Harry K. Thaw for a writ of habeas corpus, re- turnable at Littleton on Tuesday next at1la. m, - Nathaniel E. Martin of this city and Merill Shurtleff of Lancaster ap- peared as counsel for Thaw. The state of New York was not repre- sented at the hearing. Thaw conferred with counsel re- garding the hearing with Governor Felker at Concord, in opposition to his extradition to the state of New York. This hearing, according to the understanding of the Thaw lawvers, will be held on Wednesday. Thaw probably will be removed to the capi- tal Monday without further court procedure there. Neither side trusting the other and ‘Thaw’s special guards trusting neither side, all hands kept watch at the hotel' where Thaw is housed un- til well after midnight. At 2 a. m. an overwrought reporter, sure that the presence of some strange men and automobiles about the building meant no good, ran down the silent hallways shouting at the top of his lungs. The entire hotel was awake in an instant. Sheriff Drew, who had re- tired, ran into the hall in his night- shirt and twenty reporters, half dressed and disheveled, dashed down to the lobby to telephone for auto- mobiles. Women guests peeked from behind doors on the verge of hysterics ond the Thaw guards, worried but ignorant of what was the matter, massed themselves in front of his door. Thaw did not wake up. William Travers Jerome also slept soundly, though Franklin Kennedy, deputy at- torney general from New York, ap- peared for. a few moments until he satisfied himself that Thaw was safe.

POLIPICAL LEADER Eluded Nurse And Disappeared From ‘His Brother’s Home—Killed : Same Day. New York, Sept. 16.—“Big Tim” Sullivan, the New York politician; wha rose from newsboy to congressman, is dead. His mangled body was identified by his stepbrother, Larry Mulligan, after It had lain for thirteen days in a local morgue. Sullivan, who was ill; eluded his nurses in the early morning of Aug. 31 and a few hours after was struck and killed by a train at Pelham Park- way. Sullivan’s body was on its way to the' potter’s fleld when the chance observation of Policeman Purfield led to its identification. With no identi- fying marks on the clothing or articles in the pocket the body lay in Ford- ham morgue for thirteen days awalt. ing identification. Then it was sent to Bellevue morgue. There was sta- tioned Peter Purfield, a policeman who had known “Big Tim” before his mind became clouded. After he had pon- dered an hour or so Purfield remarked to a reporter: “That looks a little bit like “Big Tim.” Mulligan Is Certain, Peering long at the mutilated and discolored face the reporter thought so too. The telephone brought “Big Tim’s” East Side friends in groups to the morgue. but nome recognized in the changed features the man they had known in his prime. Larry Mul- ligan, Sullivan’s stepbrother, was sum- moned. He looked at the face once and turned away. “It’s ‘Big Tim,’” he said. Timothy Sullivan was fifty years of age and a native of New York's East -8ide.- About-as soon-as he-was -old enough to toddle he helped his wid- owed mother support herself and her five children. “He grew up without schooling, “a perfect product of New York's streets, shrewd, two-fisted, blue-eyed and canny.” He kept his power because he never drank, never smoked and was always on the job. Next to Charles F. Mur- phy he was probably the most power- ful man politically in New York and| was supreme in the district south of Fourteenth street. His prescription for men who want to be leaders was: “Work all the time at things that other people think ought to be done, but won’t do themselves.” Sullivan was reputed to be worth 81,000,000 or more. His string of the- aters was said to bring him $200,000 a year and he had large real estate holdings. He was a friend of the poor and it is said he never turned a begging hand away without a coin. DRUNK CAUSES DISTURBANCE Endeavors To Preach To Entire Pop- ulation From Street Corner Anton Nelson, a transient in the city became intoxicated this morning and about noon created a disturbance in the Abercrombie confectionery store. He was ordered out of the store but refused to go and continued to use profane language in a tone that could be plainly understood for sev- eral blocks. His remarks to the ladies were not altogether pleasant and he received a few slaps from a young man who entered the store. Mayor McCuaig was attracted to the scene by the crowds which gathered and with the assistance of two men Nelson was taken to the City jail to await hearing tomorrowing morning,.

New York, Sept. 156—With the ar- rest today of Rev. Hans Schmidt, as- sistant rector of St. Joseph’s church charged with the murder of Anna Au- mulled, a domestic, the mystery sur- irounding the finding 12 days ago of parts of the dismembered ‘body of a girl in the Hudson river is solved.
