After an all day hearing before Judge Bdgar Aldrich in the United States court, today, an agreement was Peach- ed between William T. Jerome,. counsel for the state of New York, and Thaw’s lawyers, Judge Aldrich assenting, whereby these steps were taken: The writ of habeas corpus filed by Thaw at Littleton in September was temporarily suspended. Thaw was arrested by Sheriff Drew under the extradition warrant issued by Governor Felker. A new and supplemental writ of ha- beas corpus under the extradition pro- ceedings was filed by Thaw's_counsel. To this the state of New York was given seven days to reply, with Thaw to have five days thereafter in which to make his reply. In full the docu- ments in the case are to be printed and briefs filed by both parties. This hav- ing been done, Judge Aldrich will fix a @ate on which final arguments will be made before him on theruestion of constitutional law raisedl in the pet tion for habeas corpus: viz. Does Thaw's case come under the extradition laws? An_ apeal may be taken from his decision by one side or the other, so that the ease may progress in the United States supreme court. TO AVERT A POSSIBLE FINANCIAL STRINGENCY. Both Partics Propose Amendments to Currency Bill, ‘Washington, Nov. 18.—Means of pro- tecting the country against any possi- ble 1 gancial stringency when the pro- posed\ new currency system goes into effect were considered today by both the democratic and republican wings of the senate banking and currency committee. In each case amendments to the ad- munistration currency bill agreed upon were designed to cover the “transition period,” while banks are transferring their reserves to the proposed new fed- eral reserve banks. The democrats adoptd a change that would permit local banks to deposit half of the quired reserve in the regional Tank in the form of commercial paver, instead of Tequiring the entire deposit to be in cash. Another amendment would au- thorize the federal reserve board to ke the new ftreasury notes and the present bank notes eligible for use as Dart of the reserves to relieve #mbar- rassment during the transition period. The republicans and Senator Hitch- cock, continuing their work on a draft bill, adopted a more Tadical change, providing that banks need deposit only i per cent. reserve when the new sys- tem becomes effective, an additional 1 per cent. to be deposited each six months until the entire reserve of 5 per cent, has been provided for.

Regards as (Special to The Bulletin.) Putnam, Nov. 18.—Attorney Frank E. Howarth, who on Monday in the supe- rior court at Willimantic was sentence ed to serve a long term in the state prison, made on Tuesday what, was probably his last visit to Putnam for. years. He was brought here by Sher- iff P. B, Sibley and Deputy Sherift John H. Fitts of Hampton, that he might make a final visit to his office and to his home in connection with the securing of some papers and the dis- position of some of his effects. Howarth Worn and Haggard. Worn and haggard after the nerve- rackigg stoain that the trial hs placed ugpn him, Agtornes Howarth was, nov. ertheless, 000l and determined, but had come into a full realization of the fate that has befallen him. To those who hnve known him and haye been friend- ly witlt him and who saw him during the rief time that he was in town on Tuesdey afternoon, there was aiso a more complete sensing of the really tragic ending of what promised to be & brilliant careér, and expressions of sympathy—not that he should not pay a penalty for the crimes to which he had pleaded guilty, that the ends of justice might be served—but because of the blighting of the future of a young man who gave every promiseof making an honorable and enviable mark in the world. Whatever the young man has done to merit the just sentence im- possed upon him, seemed not to repress in any great degree the sympathy feit for him by those who saw him ride out of the city to face years of imprison- ment and all of the solitude that im- plie: “Mighty Tough,” Says Howarth. Spealking of his last visit here, How- arth said to a friend: “This is mighty tough! TIt's hard to come here today to ook on the old fa- miliar scenes and to know that I have 3ot to go away.” In this statement there was the near- est trace of emotion that the prisoner has given vent to, but no whimpering. Continuing, Howarth said that he set the Priest Island and fair ground fires, but that he gid most strenuously object to pleading guiity to the Mullin fire. Tt was suggested to him that, alter all, he had done the wisest thing, and he agreed with this, indicating his con- viction that the jury might have been more harsh with him had the case gone through to an end. “T would like to have told my side of the story, though,” was the one wish expressed by Howarth. Farewell Kiss for His Fiancee, ‘While he was in this city Howarth <aw his fiancee, Miss Gladys Sheldon of Woodstock, and it was in Howarth's home, where his mother died a few months ago and where his father’s body rested after his death in a rail- road accident at Bolton, that they said favewell to each pther. There were no tears from either at parting, just a kiss and a “Good-bye.” Mrs. Sheldon also aid farewell to Howarth at this time, and the young man turned _stolidly away, entered the automobile that was to convey him back to jall, and was driven away.
