THAW WILL RETURN
TO ASYLUM TUESDAY
Judge Martin's Order for
"Thanksgiving Holiday'
Explained by Attorney
Judge I Willis Martin, or the I'ouit
of Common Pleas, Issued the court or
der which permitted Harry IC. Thin- to
1-avo the Penns)!ari!,i Hospital tor the
ln"ane to spend I'hnnlvSglMiig with his
family in Pittsburgh.
The order provides that Thaw shall te
turn to the Institution Tuesday, It Is ex
plained by former Judge James Oay
(lordon, Thaw's attorney, and t,hls state
ment Is corroborated by officials of the
hospital. An attendant was sent rlth
him to see that he returns.
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.
"Mrs. Thaw, ins mother, said Mr.
Cordon, "was appointed the committee
of his person, which Is the legal
phraseology for the custody of her son.
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 '

Headquarters Company, 103d Kngtneers.
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. Calmly and without fear he ad
ministered to the boys who wtTe hurt

TIDE OF HOMEWARD
FOREIGNERS SWELLS
Aliens, at Rate of 250 a Day.
Apply for Passports Per
mitting Return
Aligns here are applying for passport
permitting them to return to their own
countries, at the rate or more than
two hundred and fifty a day
This egress of foreigners, a sharp
contiHSt with the steady flow of aliens
10 America's shores before the war, Is
attributed by Immigration officials to
the victorious conclusion of the war.
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.
Tha outward flow Is making an im
pression on the labor market, In Mr.
C.reenavvalt's opinion.
"But It won't have any serious effect
In the I nlted States, be declared, "but
rather a. beneficial effect, seeing that
2,000 000 of our own boys are returning
to Industry at home."
Passports ure Issued at Immigration
headquarters, 132 Soutli Third street.
The Issuance of the documents was taken
oer by the Immigration service on Sep

WOMEN PLANNING
PEACE CONFERENCE
Lansing Tells Leaders' He Sees
No Objection to Proposed
Meeting in Netherlands
Washington, 'ov. 2s.
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

ment was made today ut tho office of

HOPE F0R BETTER DAY
Expert Conservation Rule lo
Be Rescinded and Making
of Ncar-Beer Permitted
None of the thirty breweries In Phila
delphia will close down, although ull
will stop the manufacture of beer to
morrow at midnight In accordance with
President Wilson's pioUamallon
Virtually all the brewers will keep
their plants Intact, since many btluve
they will eventually be permitted to
manufacture "near-beer " Others ex
pect the ban on real beer will noon be
lifted by the Federal authorities.
Man) etuplo)es will hae lo be drop
ped, for the pteserit at least.
Because of the small per cent of alco- ,
hoi In the beer now put out and the fa. 1 1
that barley is the onK kind of foodstuff
UBed brewers are of the opinion that
the cornier) atlon rules affecting them
will be modified
Among those uho have optimistic
i vicH regarding the future Is 1 J. Poth.
, of the Poth Brewing Compan)
We Intend keeping our plant open
he said, "because we bcllexe there Is a
possibility that the brewers will be per
mitted to manufacture 'neai-beer,' whlrh
contains but one-half of one per cent of
alcohol Any fair-minded person llnovvs
that this does not cause Intoxication
"The brewers nlso hope thnt event
ually there will be a modification of
the rules affecting the manufacture of
real beer. 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. The amount
of bailey used by the people generally
Is so small that it hardly figures. Een
I real beer, which contains 2'i pei-ient
'of alcohol, ean hardly be classed as tin
1 Intoxicant
j "We will hnidly dispose nf the beer
brewed up lo the present time bfoie
lApill. and will, of course, remain onen
I until then."
Seeral other bi ewers made similar
t buiieiiieius, ami an ucciaieu mat tney
would not close.
