Concord, N. H, Nov. 10.—Governor Samuel D. Felker ordered the extradition of Harry K. Thaw to New York In response to requisition papers charging him with the crime of conspiracy. The decision of the governor was written and copies were handed to the Thaw lawyers, to Thaw himself, to Bernard L. Jacobs, represent- ; ing W. T.,Jerome, and to the newspapermen. After agreement between counsel. | Governor Felker ordered Sheriff Holman A. Drew not to seize Thaw until j November 17. This gives the lawyers on each side until then to prepare their cases for the federal court. j Goverpor Felker refused to comment on his action beyond referring inquirers to the written decision. This decision designates Sheriff Hornbeck of Dutchess county, to take Thaw back to New York Sheriff Mornbeck was named in the requisition papers filed by William T. Jerome. Habeas Corpus Proceedings to Come. : The decision does not mean that ■ Thaw will be returned immediately to Matteawan, from which he escaped on August 17. He has pending in the United States district court a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. It is improbable that a hearing will be held ior a least three weeks. ' When the decision was made there '■ •were waiting in the governor's office about fifty persons, including the i members of -the governor’s council, the newspaper m..i, and attorneys. Thaw himself stayed in his room at the hotel. Governor Felker entered his office, nodded to the crowd that had gath- ’ ered and said: “I have five copies of my decision. ; How many newspaper men are here?” Reporters went to him tfnd he handed them the five copies. The attorneys for both sides then pressed up to the newspaper men and asked what the decision was. “Extradition,” said the reporters after hastily scanning the thousand- | word decision. The attorneys left, the I Thaw counsel decidedly gloomy. The . decision had been expected but they . had hoped until the end. Governor Felker in his decision bases the extradition order on a writ- j ten opinion from Attorney General ; Tuttle. The governor’s decision is , strictly in accord with interstate comity. Governor Felker ignored all questions of New York’s good faith which had been attacked by the Thaw counsel. He discussed simply the question of the form of the papers and their validity. Thaw Undisturbed by Decision. Thaw was apparently not disturbed by the blow to his chances. He issued the following, statement: “It has been my opinion that Governor Felker would order the extradition. The people of Concord thought so and I was naturally moved by their belief. “It is also my impression that Governor Felker did what he believed to be right. I think he merely considered whether the documents were technically correct and that he did not inquire into the motive which inspires the persecution of me. “I am not disheartened. My strongest hopes lie now in the federal courts." The Thaw lawyers will wait now for Jerome to make the next move.

CABINET URGES HUERTA TO UUIT Dictator’s Aids Favor Granting U. S. Latest Demands. LIND ON “PLEASURE TRIP” Mexican Head Is Defiant—Threatens to Raise Army of 500,000— Attempt Made to Slay Him—Cruiser Rushes to Republic. Mexico City, Nov. 10.—It was reported here from apparently reliable ' sources Friday that the decision of the cabinet meeting was that Huerta should resign the presidency, the way to be paved by the new congress deI daring the election null on account rof a lack of sufficient returns to constitute a legal election. Foreign Minister Moheno refused to discuss the cabinet meeting beyond saying that the financial situation of the country was discussed. John Lind, President Wilson’s personal representative in Mexico, was in i conference nt night for more than two j-hours with Sir Lionel Carden, British minister. It is believed the opinions of the two men differ widely regarding the Mexican problem and the part the United States should take. Mr. Lind said his present trip to Mexico City was not prompted by any sudden developments in the internaI tional situatioin, being largely a pleasure trip: President Huerta’s formal negative reply to the United States’ demands, which was discussed in detail at a night cabinet meeting, will set forth that the United States has no right, legal or otherwise, to demand Hueri ta’s elimination from power. This statement was given out at I one of the, departments of the Mexican government. The information said also it was decided to incorporate in the reply a declaration that Huerta intended to increase the Mexican army to 500,000 men. Huerta’s view is that he has no legal right to accede to the American demands. This contention will be set forth in his reply. i Nov. 10.—What shall the United States do if Huerta refuses to resign? This question was discussed in the cabinet meeting, but no decision was announced. Formal reply to the latest American representations had not been received. Until a definite answer comes from Mexico it is not expected there will be a determination of policy. San Francisco. Nov. 10.—A special dispatch to the Chronicle from Mexico City says an attempt has been . made to assassinate President Huerta. While the dictator was driving along Capatzalco causeway a man ran I In front of his carriage and seized the horses’ bridles, at the same time flouri ishing an automatic pistol.

PRESIDENT IS AIDED ' ON CURRENCY MEASURE Opponents of Administration Views In Senate Help Reconsider Regional Bank Reduction. Washington, Nov. 10. —Changes in the line-up on .the currency bill strengthened the position of the administration forces, but left the senate committee in a temporary deadlock Friday. Senators Reed and O’Gorman, who have been opposing administration proposals in the committee, rejoined the Democrats, and the committee voted to reconsider the decision which cut down from twelve to four the number of regional banks in the proposed new system. Senator Crawford (Republican) voted with the Democrats to reconsider, but a discussion, which at times waxed warm and which lasted all afternoon, failed to force a vote on a proposition to fix the number of banks to seven. Senator Crawford said he had voted to reconsider solely as a matter of courtesy. He made it clear that he would not support a resolution to increase the number. Senator Hitchcock made it, plain that he would not swing into line with the other Democrats, and with a six to six tie in prospect the administration forces avoided a vote. The administration senators succeeded in voting to retain the secretary of the treasury on the proposed federal reserve board. The section of the present bill which would force all national banks into the system under penalty of losing their charters within a year was changed. MANN CALLS FOE SLANDERER.

Washington.—Following the proclamation of the president of the United States establishing regulations for the protection of migratory birds, the department of agriculture sec in motion machinery that made these regulations effective in every state on November 1, the date set for the operation of the proclamation. These regulations put under federal protection, for the first time, a large number of migratory game and insectivorous birds, and thus placed federal restric- I tions on the 5,000,000 hunters of the United States. In enforcing these regulations federal authorities will cooperate with state game commissioners and other state authorities in carrying out the provisions of the law, and to prevent complications in the | local enforcement of regulations. The states have been grouped into 13 units or districts, each in charge of an inspector. Several of these positions in the west will be filled temporarily by regular experienced employes of the department. Among the birds protected by the regulations are the brant, wild duck, goose, swan, cranes of various species, rail, several kinds of shore birds, pigeon, dove, wild pigeon, bobolink, catbird, chickadee, cuckoo, flicker, fly- ' catcher, grosbeak, humming bird, kinglet, martin, meadow lark, night i hawk, nuthatches, oriole, robin, I shrike, swallow* swift, thrush, warbler. whippoorwill, woodpecker and I wren. The regulations for the enforce- ( ment of the law separate the country . into two zones known as the breeding ' and wintering zones. The former comI prises 25 states lying wholly or in part J north of latitude 40 degrees and the i Ohio river, and the latter comprises , ■23 states and the District of Colum- ) I bia lying wholly cr in part south of ; latitude 40 and the Ohio river. A close season has been establiShied on the catbird, chickadee, grosbeak, humming bird, martin, meadow i lark, builbat, robin, swallow , thrush, whippoorwill and woodpecker. The I : regulations contain a prohibition abolishing the hunting of all migratory ■ game and insectivorous birds from ! sunse to sunrise. In Maryland, Dis-, trict of Columbia, Virginia and South Carolina the close season for the reedbird extends from November 1 to August 31. i A close season until September 1, I I 1918 is established on such migra- ' ! tory game birds as the band-tailed I pigeon, the little brown sandhill j whooping crane, swan and curlew, and i on all shore birds except the- black i breasted and golden plover.

Why “Backet Shop.” The phrase “backet shop” originated in Chicago. The board of trade had forbidden dealings in grain options in lees amounts than 5,000 bushels. An open board whs established ter small gamblers under the rooms of the regular board. When business was slack in the regular board the elevator would be sent down for another “bucketful” of speculators from th® unauthorized exchange, which th vs catpe t» be known as the "bucketabop.” ? .— --

Proposal to increase the number ot clerks “for airship work in the Indian office," brought a Statesmen “Up number of . senain the Air” tors to the senat ® secretary’s office the other day to learn why Senator Lane of Oregon had introduced a bilt providing for such an innovation. The bill was read by title recently during the senate session arid mgmentarily escaped the notice of argus-eyed members. “What the dickens are the Indiana doing with aeroplanes?” demanded one senator. “And why do they need clerks to keep the wabbly things in the-air?" The senator was told the reading clerk had read the title of the correctly, which provided for ' help to ’the “heirship wofk ’ that has piled up in the bureau of In- . dian affairs. The senator left suddenly after asking that the fact of his visit be kept quiet. Other senatorswho stormed in to demand , explanations likewise made sudden and quiet exits when the explanation was forthcoming. Final statistics of the sugar industry in the United States for 1909 are presented in deSugar Industry tail in a bulletin in the U. S. soon to be issued by Director Harris of the bureau of the census, department of commerce There were 291 establishments In .the United States engaged in the manufacture’ and refining of sugar and sirup in 1909. Os these. 58 were gaged in the- manufacture of sugar from bets, 214 in the manufacture of sugar eft* sirup from cane, and 19 In the refining of cane sugar. The total number of persons engaged in these three industries was 24,047. of whom 34.9 per cent, were employed in the beet-sugar factories. 22.1 -per cent, in the cane mills, and 43 per cent. In the refineries. The quantity of beet sugar reported by the factories in 1909 was 501,682 tons, valued at $45,937,629, and that ot cane sugar 326,858 tons, valued at $26,095,673. The quantity of refined sugar turned out by the refineries, which would Include the product made from foreign raw sugar as well as from domestic cane sugar, was not reported. According to the census -of agriculture, the farm production of sugar and sirup in 1909 amounted to 125,647 pounds of cane sugar, 14,060,206 pounds of maple sugar. 21,633,579 gallons of cane sirup. 16,532,000 gallons of so?Jhum, and 4,106,418 gallons of maple sirup.

In this country beech is the favorite material for wooden shoes, the manu-

facture of which has reached considerable proportions in the Uni-

Wooden Shoes Made in U. S.

ted States according to the department of agriculture, which has just issued a bulletin on the use of the wood. These shoes, the department says, cost from 6.0 to 75 cents a pair and are good for two years. They are worn by those who have to work in cold or wet places, such as tanneries, breweries, and livery stables, and by workmen in steel mills and glass factories who must walk on hot grates or floors. Farmers, too”, are classed among the users. Beech wood is put to a very much wider range of uses than the average person would be likely to suspect. The department says beech enters into hundreds of articles tfrom hobbyhorse rockers to butchers’ blocks. We walk on beech floors, eat off beech picnic plates, carry beech baskets, play with beech toys. Heit on beech chairs, and in dozens of other ways use articles made of beech almost every day of our lives. Its freedom from taste fits the wood especially for 'articles which come in contact with foodstuffs, and beech meat boards, skewers, lard tubs, butter boxes, sugar hogsheads, refrigerators, dishes, spoons, and, scoops are widely used. Only one species of beach grows naturally in the United States, but few trees in this country have a wider commercial ranges It extends from the Gulf of MPrtto intd eastern Canada, and in practically every place where it grows it is cut for market The total yearly output of beech wood in the United States is approximately 500 million board- feet
