Coleltrook, N. II.
COLEBROOK, N. H., Sept. 10. Harry
K. Thaw wundered about the hills ut
Coos county, New Hampshire, for four
hours today after being thrust aaross the
Canadian border at Norton Mills, and
was arrested by Sheriff Drew of Coos
county at Little Schoolhouse. five miles
from Colebrook, Just before noon. Thaw
made no resistance and was brought Im
mediately to Colebrook.
Thaw In his wanderings was accom
panied by newspaper men. He did not
know where to go. Leaving Norton Mills
he stopped for a few infinites at Averlll,
Vt, and, leaving there, doubled back into
Canada, re-entered Vermont at Canaan,
then crossed the Connecticut river at
Stewartstown. No ono attempted to de
tain him.
Ho was planning when arrested to
strike a railroad and buy a through
ticket to Detroit. He tried vainly to get
in connection with his lawyers at Mon
treal. Falling in this, he resumed his
blind Journey until Ndetalned by the sher
iff. The sheriff had no warrant, but held
him as a fugitive from Justice.
The Coos county court is in session
here and practically every local officer
and deputy sheriff in .attendance was
sent out In an endeavor to apprehend
the fugitive. It was believed that Thaw
had passed through the Dixvllle notch
and was on the cast slope of tho DIxvlllo
mountains, bound in the direction of
Upton, Me.
Attorney General Tuttle of Now llarop
thlre, who is attending court here, had
an extended telephone conference with
William Travcrs Jerome this forenoon.
Thaw was taken to the office of
Thomas Johnson, a local attorney whom
he retained as his legal adviser. Thaw
lost his hat on tho way and wore a cap
borrowed from one of the newspaper men.
His -only possession was a bunoh of
cigars. Sheriff Drew wired William
Travcrs Jerome to come at once to take
charge at tho fugitive.
Dropped AcroM the Border.
OOAT1COOK , Sept. 10. Harry It Thaw,
'tenioved forcibly from his quarters here
today, at noon was a freo agent in
American territory, traveling in an auto
mobile with a number of American news
paper reporters.
The Matteawan fugitive was dropped
oer the border by tho Canadian authori
ties Into Vermont. Alono, dazed and
free, he did not know what to do. The
newspaper men following him took him
Into their car and traveled with him.
At noon they had passed from Vermont
Into New Hampshire. As the car pro
cresses the newspaper men report Thaw's
movements.
The situation that Harry Thaw finds
himself in today is by far the most
extraordinary that has marked tho
progress of his sensational case slnco
he fled from the Matteawan insane
atylum, August 17. Belleylng this morn
ing that he was being kidnaped, he re
sisted forcibly his removal from CoatU
;ook, only to find that the outcome of
his quick dash in an automobile to Amer
ican territory was to brimr him unex
pected freedom and place him in the
bands of the men who up to the present
time had devoted their energies to re
volting his case.
Thaw was dazed at the suddenness of
the events of the moring; without his
array of legal counsel he did not know
where to turn for advice. After brief

NEBRASKA 1NJJ00D CONDITION
Crops in This State Are Far from
Being; Flat Failure.
Yield.
CORN MAKES A GOOD SHOWING
Out In Finn Shape, .Following
Iluinper Crop of AVhent, nnd
Forase Crop Are llotin
ilfnl. According to the estimates of the gov
ernment and the grain men tho Nebraska
corn crop Is a long ways from being a
flat failure.
While the government's report places
the condition of the crop on Septem
ber 1 as being but 7 per cent perfect,
the estimate of the total corn yield f
the stato Is 10(,OW,000 bushels, as a
182,000,009 bushels last year. The lo
78,000.00 bushels In tho total Is qTTllo
scriou enough to be noteworthy, but tho
fact that 101,000,000 bushels remains to
be marketed is proof that the crop was
far from being a total loss. In point of
fact, what is left of the ' corn crop Is
much better showing than was experi
enced in 1502, when a bumper crop ot
corn was caught by frost and proved
"soft" and unmarketable.
With C5,000,COO bushels of wheat liar
rested, with oats on September 1 ranked
as 70, and Nebraska fifth in the United
States in point of total production: with
the forage crops generally in good con
dition, the outlook for tho farmer In
Nebraska Is far from being the desperate
situation some have Imagined.
The present rains have done n great
deal towards putting ground In good
shape for fall plowing and seeding, and
the farmers will be found busy In their
fields, getting ready for another crop
season.
Nebraska is far from being In bad
shape and the calamity howler had bet
ter look up another field for his opera
tions. I
Norcross Refuses
to Surrender Books
of Fuel Company
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ld.-Rather
than surrender tho books of the Western
Fuel company to Judge Doollng of the
United States district court, David C.
Norcross, secretary of. the company, gave
himself, up today to the United S,t&tea

tempt and sentenced, him to Jail until
such time as the books be produced, but
later released him on $3,000 bonds pending

ready Was under a $2,000 fine for a sim
ilar offense.
Norcross, the president, tho directors
and other officers and employes of tho

spiracy to dofraud the government of

he cannot be made to turn them over to
the federal grand Jury, where they might
be used as a basis for fresh Indictments
of himself and his fellows.

of the $50,000,000 of government funds to

to be progressing, and as tho security
is being approved the money Is being
distributed.

Hinder Firemen,
CHICAGO, Sept. 10. Moro than twenty
persons were Injured, three buildings
wero partly wrecked and windows within
a radius ot half a mile wero shatfered
early 'today by tho explosion ot a bomb
In the doorway or the private bank ot
Alexander Confortl, 912 South Halsted
street.
Although persons residing a mile away
wero aroused by the detonation, Tony
Dlgruzln, a watchman, was found sound
asleep In a room In the rear and was
'awakened with difficulty.
Tho explosion Is believed by the police
to be the work of blackmailers. Confortl
admitted that a year ago hs received
three letters demanding 17,000, but said
he Ignored them. He denied that he re
ceived other threatening letters about a
week ago.
Confortl's office was demolished, but a
safe which contained several thousand
dollars withstood the blast. The gas
mains entering the building were broken
and the fumes prevented firemen from
approaching the blaze until an emergency
crew wearing oxygen helmets arrived
from the gas plant.
Seven Bodies Taken
From Wreckage of
German Airship
HELIGOLAND, North Sea, Sept. 10,
Torpcdo boat destroyers, with their
searchlights flashing over the dark
waters, remained all night at the scene
of yesterday's airship catastrophe, in
which only seven of a crew of twenty
one were saved.
One body was recovered last night and
fix more were found this a'ternooit, In
cluding those of Captain Mersern, chief of
the naval airship service and Captain.
Harms, commander ot tb.o wrecked
dirigible. Doctors are working nr
getloally over three of them with the
hope of rescultatlng the men.
Tile odditis ot sfcVen other are probably
In the cabin of the airship, which lies at
the bdttom of onevof the deepest parts of
the North Sen.
The hurricane which destroyed he air
ship turned Into a steady gale today and
It has been impossible to locate the
wreck.
It became known today that a hydro
aeroplane, accompanying tho dirigible,
also had a narrow escape from destruc
tion. The aviator, Lieutenant Denge
fcld, saw the storm approaching and
reached a haven of safety Just in time.
Tho Zeppelin L-l tried to circle th
storm, but was drawn into it. The rud
ders and machines were useless and the
heavy rain and furious wind Jammed the
helploas craft seaward.
Bees Gather Honey
for Church Carpet
CRESTON, Ia Seps, 10.-(Spectal.)
While many may doubt the efficacy of
prayer, It seems, howeve'r, that tho Pres
byterian women of this city havo relied
on this means with surprisingly good re
sults. It seems that the church for some
time has been running down, and that
the male portion of the congregation has
been slow in producing1 the necessary
money for recarpetlng the sacred aisles of
the church building. The "sisters," how
ever, got together and held a prayer
meeting, and thereby hangs the tale. A
largo 'and Industrious swarm of bees
came and took up their abode in the
church steeple unknown to the members.
There they worked no one knows how
long, and gradually accumulated a flno
batch of precious nectar. One day a
neighbor fan noticed a new swarm leav
ing from the steeple and Immediately
started Investigations. The raid dis
closed the fact that a blessing had in
deed descended and over 400 pounds of
honey were removed. The honey was
sold at market price and now tho church
boasts the best carpeting in the land as
well as other Improvements.
Manuel Zamacona
Stops in Washington
WASHINGTON. Sept. 10,-Manuel Zam

way to New York, whero he says he has
private business.

his cryptic response to questions. The
former ambassador said he expected to
proceed to New York In a day or two.
Unofficially it is understood here that
Zamacona is prepared to continue the
negotiations which John IJnd began,
provided the Washington government de
cided to receive blm and the Huerta
government acceded to the conditions
which will be imposed.

Certain Sections, bat Says Mesw

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Thc ndmliH
Istratlou current) bill today started on
Its doWollS wny of tho statute books when
Clous ot the houso banking committed
and one of tho fathers ot tho measur
opened tho currfrcy debato In the house.
In n lonrr speech Mr. Glass expounded
the principles underlying tho bill and nn
piled to various criticisms of tho meas
u r c. Tho democrats hope to conclude th
general debate on tho bill this week ant
begin Its dotallcd consideration Monday.
Mr. Glass replied at length to the crltU
clsm that tho federal reserve board,
placed by the bill In control of tho pro
posed financial system, would with lt
wide power bp subject to political Influx
enccs. ''
"There- Is no politics In this matter;
there can bo none. It. Is my earnest con
viction, based on long and serious rei
flection, that no man can conceive, asi
none has jot pointed out, how any para
of this system can bo perverted to po
litical uses' said he. "I happened tn
be present when nn eminent banker sug
gested such a possibility to tho present:
occupant of the cxccullvo chair, and,
heard tills banker vainly challenged to
show how It might bo done. I shall nob
soon forget the emphasis with which tha
president of tho I'nltcd States declared.
that no mnn would over be fountf who
would bo willing to Imperial, his rcputat
lion or tarnish his tamo by so flagrant
a prostitution of his high office."
Unnks Wnnt to Speculate.
Mr. Glass declared that opposition tot
the, bill by bankers was caused by thai
fact that the bill would sever tho rclm
tlons between banks nntl stock gambling.
"Tho whole flghuof tho great banker
Is to drive us from our firm resolve to

try andrihe8tock speculntlvo operational
In the money centers," ho said,
"The avowed purpose of this bill is tot
cure this ovll, They do not want existing
arrangements disturbed; they deslro tn
perpetuate a fictitious, unscientific sys
tem, sanctioned by law, but condemned
by experience and bitterly offensive ta
the American people a system which,
everybody knows encourages and pro-t
motes tho worst description of stocW
gambling. The real opposition to this
bill Is not as to government control, on
which wo shall never yield; It Is not as
