Thaw, legally a lunatic, to cross the Canadian frontier, announced from his cell tonight that he was "up against it” and that if the Thaw fam- fly did not come to his rescue he would perhaps in justice to himself be forced to tell all he knows about Thaw's escape from Matteawan and thus complicate the proceedings un- der which Thaw's lawyers hope to obtain his release on a writ of habeas corpus on Wednesday next. Admits Driving the Car. onight Thompson removed the smoked eveglasses he has worn since his arrest here and openly admitted that the name “Mitchell Thompson” he has given the authorities was fic- titious and that in reality he is Roger Thompson, car salesman and daredevil chauffeur, who drove the black-ma- chine which whisked Stanford White's slaver away from Matteawan on Sun- day. morning last. Sure, I'm Roger Thompson,” he said. “I need money and help now and it's up to the Thaws I was framed up in getting in this case, and they ought to stand by me now. 1 haven't a cent, and if they admitted me to bail I couldn't raise the money.” Thaws Engage Counsel for Him. “What about the details of the es- cape”™ he was asked. “Don’t ask me,’ id Thompsen, “T can't talk about that now." Thaw in a cell in a corridor above ‘Gentleman Roger” refused even to admit that he had ever seen him, “Oh hat man,” he exclaimed. “You know can’t talk about him.” Thompson slouched in his cell, coat® less and collarless. JLounsel has been employed for him by the Thaw fam- ily and it was through their efforts that Thompson's arraignment today as a violator of the immigration laws was postpomed until Friday next, His lawyer is Louis St. Laurent of Que- Regrets Mixing Up in Case. It was admitted by the chauffeur that “the Thaws”, had retained St lLaurent and that they expected him (Thompson) to “keep his trap shut” He added grimly that he thought they ought to do more than give him a lawyer. “All they want,” he said, “is to keep my case separate from Thaw’s. I wish 1 hadn't mixed up in it.” Thaw had a quarrel with his many attorneys today. They had warned him to issue mo statements, but he in- sisted on talking about what he de- scribed as an omission on the part of the newspapers in Canada and the ing Williams Travers Jerome as sav- ing Thaw was sane. “This omission has outraged the British idea of fair play,” said Thaw. “They believe in a square deal” He fidgeted as he spoke, bit his nails to the auick and fussed with a pile of letters and telegrams on the pine table in_his- cell. Whitewashed walls encomphss Thaw. An irdn cot stands in the cell corner. He makes his toilet at an iron sink. M.

Noel, the jail physi- cian, who has examined Thaw daily, said this afternoon that he regarded him as sane. It was said that the doc tor had been watching Thaw's action at the request of the Dominion immi- gration autho Whether he sub- mitted his findipgs to them formally he declined to say. ; During his varving ‘moods today Thaw was reminded ofthe predicament in whioh his escape from Matteawan had placed Howard Barnum, the old gate keeper, past whom he fled to free- dom. “That's too bad,” said Thaw. “Bar- num didn’'t know a_thing I was to d He was a victim of circumstances is innocent and the charge agai him should never have been made Thaw to Aid Barnum. Thaw telegraphed instructions to- night to William Vanamee, his attor ney at Newburgh, N. Y., to assis num in any court procedure at Thaw's expense.

London, Aug, 22—A plea for a uni- form internatiohal extradition law is made in the Law Journal, a legal week_ ly in commenting on- the question of the deportation of Harry K. Thaw from Canada. “In the present conditions,” the Law Journal says, “the , most dangerous homicidal maniac is a free man when he crosses the borders of any British possession.

F. Brooker, who was presiding. Mr. Bulkeley continuing, said he was much encouraged by the malcon- tent among the stockholders. He read a newspaper clipping of July 22 which stated, action to be taken on the bond issue and sald: Wild and Extravagant Preposition. “Now we are confronted with all the plans for the disposal of the bond- and stock issue, even before it is au- thorized by this meeting, and they are underwritten by private bankers. We have reached a point, it seems to me, where we ought to stop. It s a wild and extravagant proposition. Our present bondholders and stockholders can do without the aid of Wall strest. One of your directors is to get the financial benefit of it all and a syndi- cate Is a member of your executive committee, 1 came ready to vote for thig issue, but I want the bondholders and stockholders to get first chance to take the issue. Now we are told that the executive committee has al- ready entered into a contract which has been spproved by the directors to take over that issue and before this meeting has auth8rized it: and I am told of plans of this so-called protec- tive committee of which the gentle- man who offered the reselutiom (Eli Whitney) is a member, to keep the financial eentrol ef the read where i is, that the office of the head Is t6 be removed to a neighboring state, and New Haven ig to have a nominal office, only. Director Cuyler Replies. “Here the directors have made = contract which discloses a waste of one and three-quarters millions of the stockholders’ money. As I sald before I know I can’t stop pre-arranged plans of this meeting, but I want to say to you that if you can’t do some of the things you suggest at this meeting, be sure and be here and do them at the next.” Director I. DeWitt Cuyler of New York said he could not let the remarks of Mr. Bulkeley go unchallenged. “If we didn’t provide for the pay- ment of $40,000,000 in December it meant a receivership for the road. Now, the stockholders can’t take up thig issue of bonds and stocks. They haven’'t got the money.” Applause at Reference to Melle Mr. Bulkeley replied: “The: public are jumping at the chance to buy it. I am willing to trust the bondholders and stockhold- ers to furnish all the money legiti- mately needed. And let me tell you, you will go a long way before you find a man who will develop physically the road as did the man you have al- lowed to retire.” % This reference to President brought applause. Road’s Financial Policy Rotten. Mr. Bulkeley said in conclusion: “The financial policy of this road for ten years has been rotten (applause) and it will not improve unless there is somebody to say something about it. T don't want tc see a couple of million dollars thrown recklessly. T approve of the issue, but disapprove of contracting with a syndicate of bankers which is not legally obliged fo take a_dollar of it | Henry Fleishner 2nd of New Haven, a lawver, asked Mr. Brooker why the bonds were not offered to stockhold- ers, and the reply was that the matter was closed.
