Thaw's departure from this city was kept especially secret, and It was only through the recognition of the towns people at Hast Liberty, In Pittsburgh, that his absence became known. None of the Interested parties would discuss the cause for Thaw's secret trip nor how he managed to get out nf the city without the public learning of the fact. At the hospital the officials raid they olmply honored the court order which permitted Thaw lo leave In the custody of his mother and one of the hospital attendants. Former Judge not don said lie had obtained the ordtr and recited the In cidents lliat led to the furloughlng of Thaw.

When the proceedings enme up In this city, acting as counsel for Mrs. Thaw, I asked the court to commit him to the Insane hospital to aid the mother In her guardianship. "So, when the family wanted Thaw home for the holiday, l went to Judge Martin and asked for an order grant ing Thaw temporary release. The Judge signed such an older, placing Thaw In the custody of his motner. The length of,' his absence was fixed go that he wo'uld have to come back to Klrkbrlde's by next Tuesday. An attendant has gone to Pittsburgh with him and will keep him In charge until he Is delivered to the hospital ' THREE DAYS WITHOUT FOOD Heroism Displayed by Philadel phia Priest on Battlefield The Rev Joseph 1..

Father Wolfe has the rank of lleut-n-nnt with the Pennsylvania boys of the Iron Division, and be has been with them through the most terrific lighting. Here Is an extract from Mangan's let ter: "While our dHlsion was making one of the greitest drles of the present war Father Wolfe, In company with a Knights of Columbus secretary, spent three dnyB on the line without a bite to eat. This was told mi' by a wounded boy who saw Father Wolfe 'out there" In the thickest of the Bhelllnsr. not know ing the minute when It would come his turn.

Most of the men who are returning to their mother countries, according to 11 I'. Clreennwalt, Commissioner of Im migration for Philadelphia, desire to assist In the tasks of reconstruction abroad. Many originally fled from their home countries because of oppression, With democracy dawning In nations for merly king-ruled, he said, the outgoing aliens desire to share In the coming prosperity or their native lands.

A big peace conference of women Is plnnned for February In the Nether, land's, with International delegates pres. ent from all countries, Including Oer mnnv nnd Austria. The session, If finally artanged. will, be under the auspices of the Interna- ( tional committee of women for pcrma. nent peace, of which Miss Jane Ad-, dams, of Chicago, Is president. Miss Addams and Mrs. Louis F. Post, wlfo of the Assistant Hecretary of La bor, questioned Secretary- of State Lans ing today as to the propriety of the session. He Informed them that lie saw no objections now to the congress, ac cording to Miss Addams. A meeting of tho executlc committee will bo held Monday In Boston, to dev termlne upon time and place of the ses sion. As tentatively outlined the con ference would be njeetlng during the fifth week of the general peace ses. slon. Its purpose, according to Miss Addams, Is mainly to move world opin ion us to woman's position hi questions affecting a durable peace. It had been hoped to have the meet ing at Paris, but It is now felt that this would be Inadvisable, ns German and Austrian delegates might be barred from the French capital. Thin committee, It was recalled, held a session In the Netherlands In 1915, about a month after the arrhal of the Ford peace ship abroad. Miss Addams pointed out that the committee had no connection, howeer, with the Ford party, and thnt Its platform lncmueu many propositions similar to President Wllson'B peace Ideas among them the league of nations. Miss Addams said Secietary Lansing told her the matter ot American dele gates attending would bo up to the pass port section, largely, to decide, but she gained the Impression that there Is no real obstacle In the way of meeting. She had previously seen Secretary Baker, who she said listened to her proposal In "friendly fashion." Incidentally Miss Addams mealed that the State Department had coun seled against any reply at this tlmo to German women's appeal lo Amerlcu ad dressed to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson nnd Miss Addalns Drydock Question Up Monday Neod of drydocks here will be taken up next Monday at the meeting of the port boom committee. This announce ment was made today ut tho office of Director Webster, of the Department of Wharves, Docks and Ferries, following a complaint by S. L. Burgess of the lack of drydock facilities here. Bufgess as serted that Bhlps have to lay up hero two to three weeks at a time before they can get on a drydock. 6 town tnAnv. Either soles. Last year's prices.

The only foodstuff used III making beer Is barley, and 35 per cent of this is returned lo the farmer In the way of grain, which he feeds to his cows Jetting down to facts this means that the biewer usen only lie per cent of the barley he buys.
