PHILANDER KNOX
DEFENDS IRAW
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19—Philan
der C. Knox, ex-Secretary of State,
who recently returned to the prac
tice of law at Pittsburg, has been
retained by the Thaw family to ar
gue the constitutional question in
volved in the case of Harry K. Thaw.
He filed his brief in the clerk’s office
of the United States Supreme Court
today. In his brief Mr. Knox relies
on the following contention:
. “That under the Constitution one
cannot be extradited unless charged
with crime in the state from which
he fled, that by the New York statute
the act of an insane person is de
clared not to be a crime, and that
Thaw is, as between himself and New
York, an adjudicated lunatic, the
courts of New York having so decid
ed five times in the last six years,
during all of which time New York
has kept him confined in a mad house
as a dangerous lunatic.”
This Is the first case Mr. Knox has
accepted since leaving the cabinet.
EAR MUFFS CAUSE
INSTANT DEATH
HOMINY, Okla., Dec. 19.—Ear
muffs caused the death of two men
here today when they failed to hear
the noise or whistle of an approach
ing train. The train hit both men,
sending them 20 feet into the air and
crushing every bone in their bodies.
The cold forced the men to protect
their ears with muffs.
NO MOOSE DANCE

There will be no dance at Moose
hall this evening as was announced
in last night’s Prospector. The Moose
