CABINET MEETING
However, No Solution of Difficult
Problems Was Reached;
Gough Leaves Camp
London. March 27.—Field Marshal Sir
John Fremvh, who has tendered Ills
t'-siKiiation as head or the British
tinny, was called Into the meeting of
the cabinet ministers to-day to dlscuis
lils position with lliem
At noon It was announced that the
statement on the subject which Pre
mier Asiiiilth had promised to Rive to
the House ui* Common* had been post
poned until ."» o'clock this afternoon.
The session of the cabinet ministers
was called at about 10 o'clock and con
tinued three hours, it was deduced
from this protracted meeting that they
found difficulty in repairing the rift
in the army organization caused by
the blow given to it by the resigna
tions of Sir John French, chief of the
general staff, and Lieutenant General
Sir John Spencer Ewart, adjutant gen
eral to the forces. The two generals
to-day seemed determined not to with
draw their resignations, as they con
sidered they had received a rebuff in
the governments repudiation of the
guarantees which they gave to Briga
dier General GougU regarding Ulster.
No solution of the difficult prob
lems confronting the British govern
ment was reached at the cabinet coun
cil tills morning and it was announced
that another meeting of the ministers
would discuss the matter before Pre
mier Asquitli made his appearance in
the House of Commons.
The lobbies of the houses of Parlia
ment were crowded and all kinds of ru
mors were in circulation.

IF DOZEN HEARD
IN JUVENILE COURT
Mrs. Tener a Visitor, But She
Wouldn't Talk to News
papermen
Mrs. John K. Tener, wife of the
Governor, was an interested spectator
tit the March session of Juvenile court
conducted this morning by President
Judge Kunkel in chambers. Follow
ing juvenile court suspended sentence
court was conducted.
The list of new little defendants
was smaller than usual, five boys for
truancy and two for larceny, com
prising the calendar. At least a dozen
other youngsters were on hand, how
ever to toll the court how they've been
behaving. The stories they told were
much tho same as the tales that have
been toid —in juvenile court. And
there were the usual smiles and tears.
Mrs. Elsie V. Middleton, Ihe new
probation officer, served in her new
capacity for the first time at a court
session. Mrs. Tener attended court
with Miss Anne McCormick, the two
having been delegated as a juvenile
court committee by the Children's Aid
Society.
' The present method of conducting
the juvenile sessions in chambers is In
accordance with a suggestion made by
Mrs. Tener several years ugo. The
same plan had been followed in her
j home county. Mrs. Tener believes
that the youngsters should not bo sub
jected to the publicity and embarrass
ment of facing a court room full of
people. Furthermore, the tales that
ate cften told in court are not such
as to improve the morals of a child
by any means.
Mrs. Tener smilingly declined to talk
about her visit this morning:
''A coupl.l of years ago I talked to
some newspaper men about a visit to
the ;uvenilu court, and oh, my—when
the papers came out in the evening!
No— n0l >- and the Governor's wife
laughed, "never again!"

Final Brief on Behalf
of Thaw Is Filed in
U. S. District Court
By Associated Press
Concord, N. H., March 27. —The final
brief on behalf of Harry K. Thaw, on
his petition for & writ of habeas corpus
and for admission to bail pending a de
cision on the matter of extradition, was
filed in the United States District Court
■ by counsel to-day.
The document lay stress upon the
»claim that the statute under which
I Thaw originally was committed to the
insane asylum at Matteawan, N. Y., Is
i unconstitutional and therefore it was
| not a crime for him to escape from
custody; that an insane person cannot
commit a crime and accordingly can
-1 not be extradited on A charge of com
i mlttlng a crime; that Thaw's sanity
or insanity must be decided before it
can be determined that there is Juris
diction to extradite him: and that ho is
not a fugitive from .iustlce within the
meaning of the Federal Constitution.
As to ball, counsel maintains that
ball In a misdemeanor case Is a matter
of right. The brief concludes:
"The purpose of the State of New
York bemg to return Thaw to Mattea-
I wan. It is making a misuse of the ex
tradition laws to accomplish its end.
Thaw should be discharged."

Engineers' Society of Pennsylvania,
which will take place Tuesday night

in the purchase of the present club

FROM WINDOW SILL
[Continued from First Page.]
Eva Davidson, the chief nurse, raced
to Mrs. Tracy's cell and made a flying
grab at the woman's hands as she was
about to drop. They dragged her
7
screaming through the window Into
the cell again.
Steps were taken to-day by the Poor
Directors to have the Dauphin county
court appoint a commission to inquire
into Mrs. Tracy's mental condition
with a view to having her removed ta
the State asylum.
Husband Deserted Her
Grief at the evident desertion of
her husband, it was said at the office
of the poor board to-day, lias been
largely responsible for Mrs. Tracy's
condition. The woman is 31 years old
and is the wife of Thomas Tracy. They
have one child, a daughter, aged 8,
who is with relatives. The Traoys
came hero from York county a couple
of weeks ago and according to the
story unearthed by the poor board
investigators, Tracy hasn't done much
toward suppprtlng his wife.
I Less than a week ago she became
| 111 and was taken to the llarrisburg
I hospital. Tracy, it is said, not only
I failed to call to see her after the first
visit but only telephoned to Inquire
1 about hor but once. The woman griev
ed piteously for her husband and when
he was told of this over the phone, he
merely said he "guessed he couldn't do
anything for her."
And yesterday the frantic woman,
too violent to be kept longer in the
1 hospital ward, was renjoved to the
■ almshouse.
