Up To The Drivers—Motor vehi
cle drivers who use stones or blocks
of wood to hold cars or wagons on
grades or hills have been asked "as
a matter of ordinary courtesy to
- other road users to remove these
obstructions" by Highway Commis
sioner Lewis S. Sadler. Complaints
about such materials being left on
roadways by drivers have come to
the department and the Commis
sioner says that it should not be
necessary to ask police or highway
employes to take them away. "The
highway department" says Mr. Sad
ler "asks that all users of highways
so conduct themselves as to mini

Schatfer Against
Thaw Requisition
Attorney General Schaffer in an
opinion sent to Governor Sproul
late yesterday recommended that the
requisition of the Governor of New
York for return to New York city
of Harry K. Thaw, now coniined in
a Philadelphia asylum, be refused on
the ground that l J haw is a lunatic.
Mr. Schaffer referß to the refusal
of a similar requisition by Governor
Brumbaugh in 1917 and to the con
tention of the Nqw York authorities
that Thaw has sufficiently recovered
to return for trial and then says
"In my opinion the status of Thaw
is today just what it was at the time
of the prior hearing on the first re
quisition; that is to say, he is a luna
tic without lucid intervals, so deter
mined judicially after inquisition
and full hearing as provided by our
statutes. The question as to any
change in his condition, if a change
shall take place, is one for the court
having custody of him determine
and not your determination. I am
in full agreement with the conclu
sion of Attorney General Brown
that a lunatic, judicially determined
so to be, is a ward of the State un
til his disability is removed by
proper proceedings in the court
which committed him; that he is
not subject to requisition preceed
lngs from another State and could
not be lawfully delivered to it."
Demotion is Rapid

Brest, July 16.—Demotion of of

A captain wearing four service

France. At the pier be was met by
a Lieutenant-Colonel. They were
Introduced and chatted for a few
minutes and then the Lieutenant-
Colonel said:
"Jones, why I knew your brother.
He was a first class man at West
Point when I was a plebe."
"You did not know my brother,"
responded the captain. "You knew
me, I was a first class man at West
Point in 1903'."
"Impossible," retorted the Lieu
tenant-Colonel. "Why, the man I
know is a brigadier general."
"That was I, two weeks ago," said
the captain.
