Ktt tv I Free and Fall Hearing: Before Railroad Commission. i Columbia, Aug. 21.?Officers and f trainmen giving testimony for three hours before the railroad commission today failed to shed any new light on the cause of the wreck at Hooper's Creek,' on the Lancaster and Chester railway, on July 30, when three lives were lost, aii witnesses giving, ies>ciI * monv were closely questioned by the members of the commission. Much testimony of a technical 11 'ire was asked in an attempt to place the cause of the wreck. Every member of the train crew testified that they did not know what caused the wreck, but thought that it was either the v gondola or the loaded coal car that jumped the track. No direct testimony was given as to which car of i the train left the track first. All witk n esses testified that the train ? as not going more than twenty miles an ) hour when the cars fell through the - trifle. After asking for certain re- j cords as to the weight of the cars and ! the weight of loads, the commission; adjourned the hearing, and will later maKe report. The hearing was heard in the suL preme court room at the State house. ^ T. Y. Williams appeared as attorney f7' for the Dancaster and Chester road. W J- L. Glenn, J. M. Marion and A. L. Gaston, attorneys representing passengers who were injured in the wreck, appeared at the hearing. Se j eral witnesses were questioned in a general manner by the attorneys. The bulk of the questions was asked by John G. Richards, Jr. chairman or the railroad commission. G. McDuffie [ Hampton also questioned the wit| nesses principally on the testfniony bearing on the technical side of the hearing. B. L. Caughman, member of the commission, was present at the hearing, p Testimony Invited. "We wish to have a free and frank | hearing. We want to get at the cause I of the wreck.

Greenville, August 21.?After! operating in Greenville for about two ; weeks, under the firm name ,of "Greenville Electro-Medic Doctors," J. W. Burks and J. R. Blinkley, both j young men, left town Sunday. War- j rants have been sworn out charging i them with passing worthless checks, | and the sheriff has sent out circular letters offering a reward of S2o for their apprehension. It is said that fifteen charges of bogus checks issuing are held against the doctors, and estimates are that they got away with several hundred dollars in this way One charge of fogerv is also made against them. Blinkley and Burks opened up their' offices in a prominent place on Main street, and purported to make a specialty of treating diseases of . a private nature. I* is understood they had a large clientele. When the young lady stenographer opened up . the office Monday mc ning, she found J j on her desk a letter of recomrnenda- j ition, to be used in a search for 1 aj xieu pusinuii. THAW TO REST TILL WEDNESDAY On that Day He Will I>e Arraigned on Writ of Habeas Corpus. ! i 'Sherbrooke, Quebec, August 21.? Until Wednesday of next week, barring nnfnfcoon HpvplnnmPTits. iHarrv j UUiViOVVU V4V ? , % Kendall Thaw will remain in the; Sherbrooke jail. On that day he is to be arraigned in the superior court : on a writ of habeas corpus. Between !! now and that time his battery of. ; ! Canadian lawyers hope to perfect plans, not to thwart deportation, but \ to submit to it gracefully?to a point j selected by Thaw. This in brief was the status tonight of Matteawan's fugitive arrested Tuesday near Coaticock, Quebec, and committed to jail here on a defective warrant. Ignorant of the moves j - - ! ! made by his lawyers, Thaw spent 'his j time pacing the length of the narrow j corridor in the Sherbrooke jail and was not even aware that the writ of i habeas corpus in his case was ser~e~d on the jailer this afternoon, and that but for a timely telephone message j he would have been produced in 1 ; court today with the bench vacant, j This incident, variously aescnueu ! as a blunder, a cose of absent-mindedness and an error due to Perry, arose after Superior Judge Glokensky, failed to specify in writing that 1' ^Tit, i ! was returmnble before him \Vc-v. ^es- ! I I day. He h?.d set this date in cham- j bers, but the wrii reading "instanter" ; when served on the pailer, set that | official into, instant action; and he; had called a carriage and ordered i : Thaw to dress for an outing when a telephone message from the judge informed him that the latter was leav- j ing for Montreal, not to return here as a circuit judge until next week. 'Meanwhile District Attorney Con- , ! nntnviooe />nnntv \'pv; York: i C A y U 1 U U CV. ii \J *0 VVV*" y V .. ? ? f Deputy Attorney General Franklin i Kennedy, of Albany and others pri- j ! marily interested in getting Stan-! ford White's slayer across the bor- : | der, seized on the possibility of j Thaw's immediate production, and : | sought to find another judge before whom to arraign him. But Mr. ! Laforce, governor of the jait, declined to surrender the prisoner until he had consulted Sheriff Aylmer. The sheriff after reading t'he writ , carefully, said while no time for its return was specified, he had under-1 stood from the court that Wednesday! was the day and he "allowed" that', Thaw had better stay in jail. Rumors spread meanwhile that I \*ow Vnrk officers were trying to kid- ( |nap Thaw; that an automobile was' ready to whirl him to the New York J line; that an open clash, perhaps a street battle, was imminent. As a matter of fact, the officers from New York were as much surprised as any one. They had protested against postponing the proceedings until Wednesday, but their protests failing, had decided to bide their time, hop| ing that when arraigned Thaw would ' be released as a fugitive and prompt-j ly snapped up by the Lumigrition auj thorities as an undesirable. mv.r.iT.'c? loTi-vorc rrmi<rht said thev !
