This kind of pavement did ' not meet with President Humphrey’s ap- proval, evidently, for ne discussed the situation for several - minutes, but after . Commissioner Downes, had ex- plained the good results attained in ! other cities from similar kinds of | | pavemetit 1aid by this company, and made a motion that the contract be awarded to the company, it was im- mediately seconded by several of the members. The company agreed to finish the "work in twenty-five working days and give the usual five years guaran- | tee.- Peter Suzio, president of the company was in attendance at the | meeting, and he answered several questions, asked by President ‘Hum- phrey and Comissioner Downes con- | cerning repairs. - Mr. Suzio, present- ed :a letter from the state highway commission, stating that the pany had done much work for the ! department and found it to be sat- isfactory in all respects. Campbell 'Explains About Subways. Superintendent Campbell of the | United Electric Light & Water com- i pany, was at the meeéting in response to”an invitation from the board, = to expldin the subway extensions . ap- plied for by the company, Mr, Camp- bell, said that the company was plan- ning for the future when it applied for the permit. ' He said that it is the aim of his company to give efii-. cient service in all respects. He said that at present the company is just ‘about able to take care of its sub- scribers, but it is only a sort time un- til the seryice will be inadequate. Service 'to the factories was one 'of the aims that the company has in \view, Mr. Campbell, explained, and two ducts would answer for high ten- sion power. P2 President Humphrey, questioned Mr. Campbell, about the feasibility of building a, number of ducts from the present " terminal at Emmons Mr, Campbell, did not think the as it would be nesessary to have more ‘eable Bliick ‘Rock sub-sta~ h. fromj T President: Humphrey, inquired. if permisston was 'givén the company to build the ‘ductsdsWould the company Jater sell the ducts back to the city. Mr. Campbell, ‘stated, that the com- pany would sell them at cost price but would not pay rental for thém until after’ the city had purchased them. Commissioner Downes, asked if it would not be a good plan to allow the telephone 'and other corporation using ducts, to place its wires in sev- era)] streets, which would do ‘away with the possibility. of tearing up the streets again at some future date. Mr. :Campbell, was certain that this plan would meet with approval by his company 'and he suggested that it be broached to the other com- panies to get their .opinions. Corbin Avenue Hearing. Property owners on Corbin avenue, who will be effected by the change of grade ,building and street lines, by the abolishing of the grade cross- ing, were given a hearing. Engineer -Hall, had a map show- ing the proposed lines and W. W.: Bullen, D. B. Marwick, A. W. Wil- liams and T. J. Kilduff, favored the grades as shown on the map, and they were adopted. To Eliminate Other Crossings. City Engineer Hall, reported a plan to change the grade on East street, so as to eliminate two of the grade crossings in that vicinity, one at Allen street and the cther at Clayton.

" DE WITT A. RILEY Real Estate and Insurance plan of thes engineer is to continue Hast street along the east side of the track, and join Clayton Road, at a point north of the dangerous crossing. The matter is one that the New- ington town officials look very. favor- ably on, and they plan to call a town meeting to raise funds to pay their proportion of the cost. = The engineer ¢xplained that in his opin- jon the highway department would build the road, but the city would have to stand the expense of grad- ing. Minor Matters Transacted. Permission was granted A. G. Haw- ker, to withdraw his application for a permit to place a gasoline tank under the sidewalk in front of his business volace on Elm street. The Union Manufacturing company, sent a communication to the board, stating that the company was willing to build two manholes in front' of its property on Church street, or will pay the city for doing the work. It was voted to accept the offer. The United Electric Light & Water company were granted permission to erect a sign in front of its building, under the supervision of the engin- eer, The matter of building a sewer In State street was referred to the board of public health. A storm water drain was recom- mended for the Williams garage on Elm street. The board decided to order a five- foot walk on Park street, east of com:- Millions of Men Involved in Colos Drives by Germany to Cut Off Russia Vernow Jaro V g 40 60 @0 Bl The -iimits of space make it pos- sible to'show the full length of the eastern battle line.

THAW SAYS GASE “HAS BEEN SWINDLE Draws Petition to_Congress for New Law. Pittsburg, Pa., July, 21_—By his own ‘statement, made yesterday ai- ternoon t¢ a reporter. Harry K. Thaw has once 'more become ‘a private character who hopes never again to become subject to public disapproval or criticism. In the beautiful Thaw home . on Beachwood Bolevard Thaw gave out for, publication. what he says will be his last statement to the press. This reviews his’entire case briefly and point out a way to prevent another person from' being placed in some of the positions in which he has found himself. Routine of Life. Thaw will také up the routine of life today where he dropped it the day he slew Stanford White, nine years: ago, but in a more sedate way, he asserts. 3 In his statement Thaw refers ‘to one of fhe local newspapers as being ‘the first in the country to awaken to the fact that his entire case, since he ‘was acquitted by ‘a jury, Feb. i, 1908, “has been a swindle.”” He then says, in part: Thaw’s Statement. “Judge Dowling did not seem ' to have touched by evil influence. I think my counsel was truthful when he said that he had just been in Judge Dowling’s chambers and the Judge had asked that I assent to go- ing to Matteawan for a month s public interest could pass away. But no mattér how well-intentioned Julge Dowling’s motives, the statute under which he committed me is an- archistic. It sent a citizen to a mad house with no hearing whatever as ‘to his sanity, which violates the fun- damental principles of the New York State Constitution. “They have also remembered that earlier in the same court in which Judge Dowling sat, Judge Fitzgeraid had approved the verdict of the Mec- Clue-Olney-Putzel Commission in declaring me sane. =Recently testi- money has been sworn to that Judge Dowling’s jury, all twelve, agreed 1 was perfectly sane in court. Their verdict that I suffered from defectl of reason at the time of the act was given after Judge charged -them, according to law, to give the benefit of any reasonable Process of Law, “The law says that no onme can be compelled to defend himself in a criminal court from any claim not in the indictment. Therefore when Judge Dowling sent me to Mattéa- wan there wac no due process of law, and Judge Dowling will not gain- say this, “'The remerny- newspapers - that [ Dowling . had | { returned, or allowed to return, to his | from part of the country are here to | his great credit he wi IG OFFENSIVE MOVEMENT AGAINST iR one striking toward Ossowiecz. has for -its.objéct the Bobr and Vngula.

The th!rd. which bered the constitutional defect in tHo commitment, also recall that when T ‘was 'sent to Matteawan' I 'had had only one trial of my sanity and that had resulted in a New York, Supr?tfiw Court’'s Commission declaring | sane.

To | 1ed the trial to | be by jury. but my iawyer, Mr. Gra- | ham, was so unwise that he not only ! refused to ask for a jury but put up | a somewhat rambling case. Politics also appeared mixed in it, and Judge ;| Morscheuser was in a difficult bosis | tion and dismissed the. writ on the téstimony given by Jerome's bug doe- tors. . L ““The next hearing was before Judge | Mills, who gave an opiniof i}ppuqh‘ ly without reading the.old records put ! in evidence, as he stated I had been | examined by alienists before being hustled to District Attorney Jerome's office two days after my arrest. : .

Had he read the testimony he ould have seen from the evidence | of all concerned that none of my counsel’s allenists had seen/me until 1 was actually in the room with Jerome'’s assistants' and a stenog- rapher and asked prematurely to give all the facts to them, Much worse, Judge Mills stated that my' mother’s evidence before him differed from what she had testified to previously. Had he read her testimony he would have found her to have been abgo- lutely consistent and his’' accusation sgainst her was unfair and disgrac- ful. Gov. Boies, of Towa, who is alsa an ex-judge, exposed Mill's mistake ; at the time, so nothing more need be said as to 'his decision. i i “The next hearing was before Judge Keogh, a very different character and a most likable man. He | declared there was an improvement, but:did not go further in contradicting the Mills ‘decision. g ! “The next hearing was before the Gen, Streeter-Drs. -~ Morton-Pringe- Bloomer-Baneroft commissien. Their | decision speaks for itself. None were triends of mine, and they were per- scns ‘of the highest standing from all over New, England. “No one‘will deny that since that decision the insanity end of the case has been recognized as a farce to use a milder word than fraud. A “What T hope the newspapers wiil now advocate and what in:this my last statement, I want to urge,.is that good Americans will coptinue to sign the following petition and forward the papers to the.clerk of the House of Representatives, Wash- ington, D. C. “We, citizens of the United States, petition congress to pass g law in accordance with the constitution, that when a citizen of one state is acquitted of any and all charge of crime in another state, that hg be own state.” KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY.

(Correspondence of The Assoclated Press)—For all the progress madz by man in_his conquest of the air,”espe- cially ‘since the Leginning of Lhe Eu ropean war, the birds are still tle masters of the uncharted heighis. The Swiss and Austrian inhabitants on the frontier the Voralberg have Just had a striking example of this brought home to t(hem A farm worker engaged in ‘cutting hay- on the slope .f the Gamp Alp, 2 mountain soire :,00vu feet high, near the Swiss-Austrian boundary line, brought his child tv the field with lu.u and placed the three and a hali-year- old youngsicr under a bush wh he | set about his nuy making. +Some two hours later he returned to the place but could not find the child. He sear~ned high and low, fearing he might have mistakea he bush in; the shade of which he had left his offspring, but could find no trace of the infant. Beside himsen with anxiety, he hurried to the nearest village and reportied the circumstan- ces to the police, who sent out a gen- eral alarm. Several days later, some chamois hunters of the district, having learned of the loss of the child, reported that they had seen an %eagle flying over them, carrying , ‘“‘something heavy.’| The conclusion was reached that the eagle’s burden must have been thissing child. " Lipeal Alpinists at once formed an expedition to search the mountain fastnesses for trace of the eagle's nest. But’ netwithstanding their earnest ef- forts nothing has been discovered to aerie or whether or not the child is the | still alive.
