SHERBROOK, QtlEBBC. Aug. 20.—
That spent the night in a roomy
hospital cell In the jail here, care-
fully guarded.
This morning he was visited by a
squad of newspaper men, old friends
as it were, who covered the Thaw
trials. Immediately they saw , it
Indeed wae Thaw.
Thaw-like, he refused an inter-
view, bat said he would issue a
statement soon, and didn't
Thaw-like he was finicky. After
removing four days' growth of beard
from big face and the dust of three
states and Canada from his clothes,
he borrowed money to get fresh lin-
en and a new necktie, and anounc-
ed himself ready for court He had
retaied new counsel, the best in the
place, to light his ddfcortation.
Thaw'e brother-in-law, George
Carnegie and his sister, Margarette,
are hurrying here to aid him. Later
today money began pouring in for
him.
The question of insanity is not
involved. In the commitment that
brought him before the immigra-
tion authorities he appeared merely
as a fugitive from the "penitentiary
ai Matteawan."
Conferences between Thaw's Ca-
nadian attorneys indicated his ar-
raignment would be postponed until
tomorrow
Sentiment is distinctly in Thaw's
favor. The great crowd which
greeted tiim at the station shouted
"Let him go! Set him free! He
hasn't done anything to us! Give
him a chance."
Application for a writ of habeas
corpus requiring the presence of
Thaw in the superior court here
was granted by Judge Globensky of
that court this afternoon. The writ
is returnable tomorrow.
Thafs counsel contended that
Thaw had been detained illegally,
and that through habeas corpus he
should be set free Immediately.
A man giving the name of "Mitch-
ell Thompson," believed to be Roger
Thompson, Implicated in Thaw's
oscape, was arrested loitering about
the court house.

CITY COUNCIL.
The city council met In regular
session Tuesday evening, all mem-
bers present.
All claims properly approved were
ordered paid, and an ordinance al-
lowing same was adopted.
The Loyal Order of Moose were
granted the use of South Union from
September 1 to September 13, for
a carnival.
The bidder on the contract for the
lateral sewer in Dill's addition hav-
ing failed to make bond, a resolu-
tion was adopted that the city do the
work.
A communication was received
from the former agent of the de-
funct Webb company from which the
city had contracted to buy a motor,
engine-truck, stating that the com-
pany he is now with is building
cars according to the same specifi-
cations and would take the contract,
which they could fill within sixty
days. A letter from the receiver of
the Webb company was also read.
The receiver stated that the plant
was practically closed, but that be-
fore long he could give some definite
information as to when the car
could be delivered. The council
voted to cancel the old contract on
the grounds of failure to make de
livery, and order the car from the
other company.
An ordinance providing for the
extension of special taxes for weed
cutting upon the tax rolls was
adopted.
Council adjourned about ten
o'clock.

Repeal of Section 9 Removes All the
Harriers Against Snch
Consolidation.
The Oklahoma City Times says:
According to information received
by The Times from what is con-
sidered a reliable source, the Santa
Fe railroad will assume the owner-
ship and control of the Oklahoma
Central in the immediate future,
probably on September 1. Since the
adoption by an overwhelming vote
of the amendment to Article 9, Sec.
9, of the state constitution to permit
the buying and selling of railroad
line® in Oklahoma. reports have
been circulated freely to the effect
that the Santa Fe was negotiating
with the Oklahoma Central with the
view of taking it over. For many
years past, ever since the building
of the smaller line, it has been
rumored that the two lines would
be consolidated whenever it could
be done without violation of the
state laws. Dorset Carter, presl
dent of the Oklahoma Central and
builder of the system, has favored
and actively supported all the pro
posed amendments to the Article 9,
section 9. He has been anxious to
sell his line to the Santa Fe or to
some other large railroad operating
in the state as it could not be op
erated with profit as an independent
line.
Corporation Commissioner George
A. Henshaw, who assisted in the
preparation of the amendment which
was adopted August 5, stated Tues-
day that he knew that owners and
officials of the Santa Fe and Okla-
homa Central had been negotiating,
with a view of consolidating the two
systems, but he said he did not
know that the deal had been closed.
That the deal had been closed would
not be surprising to him, he said.

Special to News-Herald.
MUSKOGEE, Aug. 20.—The report
of the state legislative board of the
Oklahoma Federation of Labor in its
annual report Tuesday bitterly criti-
cized Governor Cruce and the state
legislature for an alleged unfriendly
attitude toward organized labor.
Cruce is scored for vetoing union
labor legislation and the legisla-
ture for not passing bills demanded
by labor.
Charges were preferred against C.
C. Zelgler, president of the federa-
tion by Clint Tullis, alleging that he
usurped undue authority, intimidat-
ed members of the legislative com-
mittee, and disobeyed Instructions of
the last labor convention at Shaw-

COLONEL WILLIAM T. ROSSELL.
GENERAL WILLIAM H. BIXBY.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Amid
the selfishness and excitement of
politics, the capital and almost
every officer of the United States
army have been Interested in the
unusual case of General William H.
Bixby, chief of engineers of the
army, and Colonel William T. Ros-
sell, nevt in authority In that bu-
reau of the army.
The men had been lifelong friends,
and Gen. Bixby knew It was the
ambition of Colonel Rosseli to at-
tain the position of chief of engln
eers before he retired, the position
which could only be reached when
Bixby himself quit. His retirement
was to come by the age limit In live
month. But before that time Col
onel Rosseli would also have been
retired by the age limit. So Gen
Bixby announced he would resign
before hl  term expired so his
friend Colonel Rosseli would step in
as chief of engineers. This photo-
graph shows the two old friends at
the moment General Bixby turned
over his office to the colonel.

Indications of Oil
in the Delmar Well?
A report emenating from what is
considered a reliable source this af-
ternoon is to the effect that Indi-
cations of oil have been found in the
Delmar well five miles east and half
a mile north of Shawnee.
The same report said that the
drillers expected to bring the well
in within a few days.
No more definite information could
be secured this afternoon. It is
known, however, that drilling has
been better at the well recently, and
considerable progress has been
made.
The formations in the Delmar
well, It is said, do not resemble In
any particular those shown In the
logs of the Rock Island and Penn-
sylvania well, giving strength to the
belief that the dips and off-sets of
J he strata are very pronounced in
this section. If such is really the
case, there could be no estimate
made as to the depth at which oil
might be found.
The drillers of the Delmar well
have been as reticent as to their
operations as oil men always are.
Such information as has been given
out Is of such a character as to
leave the public as much In the
dark as ever as to the probable out-
come of the drilling operations.
In the past, all reports from the
well have been pessimistic. Today s
report at least changes the situation
to the1 extent that the general be-
lief is that shallow oil has been or
is about to be struck, whether In
any considerable quantity or not.

SEX HYGIENE l\ THE
1LLIMMS SCHOOLS
Jacksonville, 111., Aug. 10.—Sex
hygiene is to be made a part of the
curriculum of the Jacksonville high
school at the opening of the school
year. Lectures are to be given to
the students of both sexes—in sep-
arate classes—once a week by local
physicians. In addition to this the
girls will have regular classes In
hygiene.
Dr. Josephine Milligan, daughter
of one of the pioneer educators in
the state; Mrs. A. L. Adams wife of
a physician and vice president of the
Illinois Mothers' Congress and W. A
Gore, superintendent of the city
schools, are promoting the new
course. Many of the lectures will
be given by Dr. Milligan and by Dr.
Grace Dewey, both of whom have al
ways been active in social work.
The educators, however, are not
oversanguine as to the benefit the
boys and girls will receive from the
courses, although they believe that
the purely hygienic benefits will jus-
tify the effort. Some of the mem-
bers of the school faculty go so far
as to aver that the added know-
ledge of social relations will aid
any tendency to evil.
Dr. C. H. Rainmelkanip, president
of Illinois college, and Dr. J. R.
Parker, president of the Illinois
Woman's college, are both out of
the city. It is known that the form-
er favors a reduced course In sex
hygiene. An occasional lecture on
the pubject to the boyB and to the
girls by local physicians has been
the custom in the college for years.
Little empftusls has been placed
on the moral aspect of the subject
the talks being intended to give
simple information. Being a girl's
school exclusively, the Woman's
college is free from the problems
that arise in other institutions.

TWO CARNIVALS
IN TWO WEEhS
THE PROSPECT
CONTEST BETWEEN W. 0. W.
AND MOOSE BEFORE CO UN-
CIL—MOOSE WIN.
THEIR DATES CONFLICT
W. O. W. Carnival First Week in
September, Moose Have Con-
tract For Second.
The Loyal Order of Moose had a
committee before the city council
last night to petition for the use of
South Union from September 1 to
September 13 for a carnival. A
little questioning by councllmen de-
veloped the fact that the Moose car-
nival is to be held the second week
in September, and that the W. 0. W.
and W. C. have contracted for a
carnival to appear here in the first
week In September.
Muret.t W. Brown, spokesman for
the Moose committee, frankly admit-
ted that their purpose In getting the
street for two weeks was to make
it impossible for the W. O. W. car-
nival to appear here the week be-
fore the Moose carnival. The
Moose had contracted for their car-
nival August 4, he said, and had
advertised the fact, and for that
reason he did not consider it square
for another carnival to come in at
this late date and arrange to show
a week ahead of them. He was
quite sure that the W. O. W. com-
mittee had been misinformed or they
would not have made a contract,
and he was equally sure the com-
mittee desired to do the right thing
If they could get out of their con-
tract now.
There was some discussion of the
request of the Moose, and it was
finally favorably considered, Pel-
phrey, Harris and Graham voting
in favor of giving the street to the
Moose for the two weeks, and Hick*
ey, Farris and Potts passing. The
mayor declared the motion carried.
The Moose present at the meeting
last night expressed a sincere de-
sire to reach an agreement with the
W. O. W. and declared that they
had spent the better part of Tues-
day afternoon trying to find all the
members.
Mayor Stearns said that when he
was seen In the interests of the
W. O. W. carnival, they had agreed
to see the Moose committee and
reach an understanding, which, It
appears, they did not do.
The councllmen all expressed re-
gret that such a situation had aris-
en, but believed the nctlon they took
was the best possible solution
