bile Division of the State Highway
Department last evening it was found
by Curator Boyd that there has been
received from licenses this year just
$1,000,500, the million mark having
been passed about noon. This money

Treasury and will be used for the mak
ing and maintenance of good roads dur
ing the neit two years.
Although the third month in the is
suing of new licenses for auto-cars has

dent that Governor Brumbaugh is J

the Governor preferring to await that
date. J. Denny O'Neill, Commissioner J
of Allegheny county, and Road Com
missioner Gillespie, of Pittsburgh; '

reau of City Highways in Philadel
phia, and General Albert J. Logun, ;
head of the Second brigade, National
Guard, are all mentioned in connection
mith the head of the Highway De- 1
partment, but those who have convers- j
«d with Governor Brumbaugh on the
subject sav that he gives no hint of ,
' his probable selection.

jIHAW CASE ARGUED TO-DAY
Supreme Court Justces Express Doubt
Whether White's Slayer Can Be
Taken Back to Matteawan
■ ! New York, March 26. —Two justices
of tlie A; pollute Division of the Su
. preme Court agreed to-day that Uiere
, was a doubt in their minds' whctJher the
, State of New York would be within its ,
, right? in "pouncing" upon Harry K. !
jlThavv, after his acquittal here on the
conspiracy chr.rge on which he was ex- j
. j tiadited from Xew Hampshire and re
! turning him to the State Hospital for,
the Criminal Ir.sjne at Matteawan.
They were Jutsice lngrahain, presid
ing, anil Justice S.ott. To voice t'.ieir
views they interrupted Franklin Ken
nedy, special deputy attorney general i
in Charge of the State's case agaii/it j
i Thaw, while he was arguing before ihej
. Appellate Division against an appeal
I taken 'by Thaw's counsel fri m .i de-1
. cision of Sp j-em. l i'oiirt Justice I'age
. refusing a n ion to return Thaw to
New Hampshire.
Counsel for Thaw had already pre
seated their arguments, wV.iti were
upon the contention that Thaw
having been extradited from X w
Hampshire tn answer charge of
conspiracy and bavin > been freed of
that charge, should i>e returned forth- j
witii to the State from which lie was |
extradited. Mr. Kennedy then began
; his argument, contending that even
j though ,Thaw had l»oun acquitted the.
I fact remained that he wus now with
I New York's jurisdiction; and as the j
I original commitment upon which he ;
I was sent to Matteawan was still valid
j he should be returned there.
"I ain in itoufct as to the rights of
the State of New Yoik ta ,iounce
upon Thaw following his acquittal oi
crime and then return him to the
State hospital for the criminal in-
I sane at Matteawcn. I believe most
i citizens of this State would r?gard
I such action as dishonorable,
j "The question involved in this case j
; is whether the State of New York can !
j with honor hold Thaw on the commit- j
jinen t subsequent to liia second trial, !
I alter he was extradited from New I
Hampshire for i specific crime and j
found not g.iili£, when the commit- ;
incut ordered his return to Matteawan
on a charge that is not extraditable." 1
Justice S.-ott agreed with Justice
| Ingrahani and informed Mr. Kennedy
j that the question at issue was not so j
| much the return of Thaw to Mattea- '
j wan as maintaining the honor of the i
: State of New York.
Mr. Kennedy replied:
"The question of the honor and >
t good faith of the .State is not involv- I
j ed. The State tried Thuw in good
faith for the oflciirie for which he was '
extradited. There is no State or fed- |
eral statute which protects him from ! 1
the original commitment."
Justice Ingrahmn remarked that
there' was no question of the legality 1
I of the commitment and that the only
: question at issue was whether the j
| State had a right to return Thaw ton
Matteawan without first permitting
| him safe passage to New Hampshire, j
! Upon the conclusion of the arigu- j ,
j ments decision was reserved. It was 1 ]
considered probable by attorneys con- ,
| nee ted with the case that the decision j,
i might be handed down next week.
