"Is 1 THA W'S LAWYERS WILL SUBMIT TX&gyPORTA TION Habeas Corpus Proceedings Postponed Until Next Wednesday. Until That Time Prisoner Must Remain in Jail at ' Sherbrooke. NEW YORK WANTS THE FUGITIVE New York Authorities and Dominion Immigration Officers Protest . Against Latest Develop ments, But Powerless. ; Sherebrook, Quel, -Aug. 21. Until Wednesday of next week, barring un foreseen developments, Harry Kendall Thaw will remain in the Sherbrooke jail. On that day he is to be arraign ed 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 selected by Thaw. This, in brief, was the status tonight of Matteawan's fugitive, arrested on Tuesday near Coaticook, Quebec, and committed to jail here on a defective warrant. Ignorant of the moves made by his lawyers, Thaw has spent his time pacing the length of the narrow corridor in the Sherbrooke jail, and was not even aware that the writ of habeas corpus in his case was served on the jailor this afternpon and that but for a timely telephone message he would have been produced in court today with the bench vacant. This incident, variously described as a blunder, a case of absent-mindedness and an error due to hurry, arose after Superior Judge Globensky failed to specify in writing that the writ was returnable before him next Wednes day. He had set this date In cham bers, but the writ reading "instanter" (when served on the jailer) set that official into instant action; and he had called a carriage- and ordered Thaw to dress for an outing when. a tele thone message' from the judge- inform ed turn that the latter- was leaving for Montreal not to return herd 'as, a-circuit until next week. -' - - -. Meanwhile District Attorney Con ner, of Dutchess county. New York; Deputy Attorney General Franklin Kennedy, of Albany, and other pri marily interested "in getting Stanford White's slayer across the border, seiz ed on the possibility of Thaw's imme diate production and sought to find another judge before whom to arraign him. But Mr. LaForce; Governor of the jail, declined to surrender the prisoner until he had consulted Sher iff Aylmer. The sheriff, after reading the writ carefully, said that while no time for its return was stated, he had under stood from the court that Wednesday was the day and he "allowed" that Thaw had better stay in jail. Rumors sprouted meanwhile that the New York authorities were trying to kidnap Thaw, that an automobile was ready to whirl him to the New lork line, that an open clash, per haps in 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 Wed nesday, but their protests failing, had decided to bide their time, hoping that hen arraigned Thaw would be re leased as a fugitive and promptly snapped np by the immigration au thorities as an undesirable, v .Governor of the jail explaining his difficulties tonight said: home one representing himself to oe Judge Glohensky called me on the telephone this afternoon and said on,?? vw?uld not need to appear in In- ,befre Wednesday.

Both the men who claim to be New' York State's chief executive, were " busy on the Thaw case today,- and there was much telegraphing and telephoning, i Governor Sulzer late today made his initial move in the matter, so far as he has disclosed. when' he telegraphed -! Secretary of State Bryan at Washing 1 ton asking that the American consul . 1 general at Ottawa advise the Cana dian authorities to return Thaw to the j' jurisdiction of this- State at Rouses Point, N. Y. : This was Governor Sulzer's mes sage: .

Thaw, an escaped luna tic, to the United States at Rouses Point, N. Y. (Signed) "WILLIAM SULZER," - "Governor." Several hours previously Acting. Governor - Glynn, conjointly with At torney General Carmody, sent a. tele gram In duplicate to Mr. Bryan and to the Federal Secretary of Commerce requesting them "in the name of the State of New York" to "ask Canadian immigration authorities to deport Harry K. Thaw to the State of New York."" : The telegram emphasizes the impor tance of haste- Mr. Glynn's activities for the day In the Thaw matter began at 2 o'clock in the "morning, 'when he was routed from bed by a dispatch from District Attorney; Conger to -Dutchess county at Sherbrooke; Canada; isaTitfg "Mr; C6hgers''had been In , communication with Immigration Commissioner W. D. Scott, of Ottawa, and believed the Canadian authorities would send Thaw to some "point in this State. Later Mr. Conger telegraphed that the Ca nadian authorities apparently had changed their minds and seemed to be disposed to put the fugitive over the border in Vermont, if they decided to return" him at all. There also was an exchange of tele grams between Mr. Glynn and Com missioner Scott and Fred C. Blair, su pervisor of the immigration bureau" at Ottawa. Superintendent Blair informed Mr. Glynn by telephone that he could do nothing until the courts had taken action,- but that his department would use every effort to have Thaw return ed direct to Newv York State. Later the following telegram was received from Commissioner Scott by Attorney Generaf Carmody, who also had been in direct communication with him: "Extradition proceedings in Thaw case now before court. This depart ment cannot deal with him until court has decided in extradition application. Will advise you our action Immediate ly the case is dealt "with by our offi cers. Mr. Glynn was visibly disappointed when informed that dispatches from Canada .announced that Thaw's attor neys -were successful in ' deferring, the court hearing until Wednesday, also that Washington dispatches represent ed the Federal officials as being in doubt respecting the proper steps'for them to take. Bryan Responds to Glynn. Washington, Aug. 21. Without au thority to make a formal request in the name . of the United States Gov ernment for the delivery of Harry K.

Both the House Democratic caucus and the con ference of Democratic members of the Senate committee on Banking and Currency considered the Administra tion currency bill today. One minor amendment "was voted into the bill in the caucus, which ad journed hntil tomorrow with the Nee ly amendment to prohibit any man from being a director of more than one bank, pending. Representative Wlngo, of Arkansas, declared at the close of the session that if the cau cus should vote down the interlocking directorate prohibition amendment, ft would furnish the Republicans with campaign material for a charge that the Democratic party had" surrendered to Cleveland H. Dodge, and Cyrus Mc Cormick, who had .made heavy contri butions to the Wilson campaign fund. There was no real test of so-called insurgent strength at anytime today but all important amendments pro posed were voted down overwhelming ly, the vote in one case being 21 to 103. Chairman Owen, of the Senate Banking committee, issued a formal statement today, reiteratfng that im. pressions that he; was opposed to the administration currency bill were "without foundation", and declared himself in favor of the measure. . "It would be -stupid to say that it is impossible to improve it in any par ticular. I expect to do my utmost to help pass it," he added. Los Angeles. Cal., Aug. 21.

EXPLOSIVE FOUND HEAR CITY HALL i . 1 t Charge- of Dynamite Discoy ered Near Mayor Gay nor's Office. 1 HONOR UNPERTURBED Deadly Charge Would Have Wrecked Entire Building Was Discover ed by a Passing Citizen. Investigating. - New York, . Aug. 21. A deadly charge of dynamite, three whole 10 Inch sticks and two halves with -; a . fuse and detonator, was discovered - ' this afternoon 'near Mayor : Gaynor's office windows in the city hall. The bureau of combustibles found that the . explosive was 40 per cent dynamite,., the regulation blasting proportion,, : 1. and the amount found would, if ex-f ploded, have wrecked the city. hall. . . The mayor was in his office when -the dynamite was discovered by a cit .zen passing through City Hall Park. Mr. Gaynor evinced little interest when told of the explosive's proximi ty and remained apparently undis turbed at his desk while police officers hurriedly drew a cordon about the dy namite to keep back an excited crowd. The dynamite found today, lay on a basement door in a concrete moat or area-way within 60 feet of the may or's window. The explosive was v arranged in a lattice formation with two small piec 'es on top. A partly burned four-inch . "use, made of gunpowder tightly, roll-' i d in a paper cylinder, ledt to a deto- iating cap on one of the half! sticks. Close to the explosive was a piece of Chinese punk and several partly " turned matches. . The dynamite and ' use was wrapped in a piece of heavy jambric secured 'by -red and blue r twine. The cloth' was blue . with red and white figures and : resembled the : fillets worn: by Italian women;oi the working, class. - - , .-. . , i 'Experts of the bureau "of combusti bles 'state that the only 'thing which prevented a disastrous . explosion ..was the presence of a strip of cotton woOf "V wound, so tightly about .the base of. the fuse that a spark could not reach the detonator. . An edge of one 4yna--, mite stick was slightly scorched. ; The investigators : do not attach much importance to the - finding of half . burned matches and a . partly . consumed cigar near 'the- explosive. ' Hundreds of smokers pass the area way during the noon hour, and. some . of them . occasionally . throw dead . matches and cigar butts there. CONFIRM NOMINATION.

A positive" denial was made today, by Immigration Commissioner Cami netti that he recommended Thomas Fox for postmaster , at Sacramento in return for Fox's influence in behalf of his son, charged with violation of the white slave , law: Caminetti's statement was made to the Senate Postofflce committee at a continuation of yesterday's hearing. "The intimation that I endorsed Fox to secure his influence Jn my son's ; trial is evidence of a diseased imagi nation," declared Mr. Caminetti. Mr. Caminetti told the committee, -Fox had a reputation for sobriety, honesty, and good citizenship and de nied he ever heard Fox was a tool of the Southern Pacific or was sup ported in his fight by the "red light" district, or the saloons. .
