CANNOT DEPORT DU BOSE
Canadian Government Powerless Without
Special Parliamentary Action.
He and Lieut.. Carrnnza May be
Prosecuted Under Another
Charge, However.

OTTAWA, OHt., June 10.-Statements
sent out from Ottawa that the government
has decided to deport Senor Du Bose and
Lieut. Carranza, the alleged Spanish spies
lack foundation. 1t is conceded now in Of
fetal circles, after a careful examina ton
of the law. thai the crown has not the
power to expel them from the country.
The power is reserved to parliament, which
brings it into play by special act.
In Great Britain since 1913 it has been
held that in the absence of parliamentary
authority the power of expulsion does not
exist.
Some twenty different acts have been
passed. extending the authority to the
crown in regard to particular classes of Of
Tenders, but these measures were for lin
tied time and have lapsed.
II the two Spaniards have employed per-
sons in Canada to act as spies in the United
States they have violated the foreign en-
listmert law and are liable to prosecution
Under it. The government may intimate to
them that if they remain they will be prose
cuted, and that If they choose to leave
forthwith no proceedings will be taken. But
the accused may elect, if they so choose, to
remain and answer any charge brought
against them in the courts.

FIGHT At THE CAPITOL.
G. A. TuOhy Attacks Policeman md
Is Roughly Handled.

\ fight occurred in the vicinity of the
Senate restaurant at the Capitol this after
noon, two Capitol policemen making an ar
rest and the prisoner resisting them. A
man who finally gave his name as G. A.
Tuohy came in the Capitol today, and those
VINO saw him remarked what they regarded
very eccentric actions on his part.
Later he went to the gentlemen's toilet
room. where he secluded himself for about
two hours, il is said and, after calling upon
the attendant. an old colored man, named
John Brown, for some service, he hauled
off and struck Brown blow In the eye.
Brown called for assistance from the po
lice, and William J. Joyce and Joseph Nc
Mahon of the Capitol police force came in
and put the man under arrest.
AS they were walking down the corridor
toward the lookup and were in front Of
the Senate restaurant door, Tuohy in 4
very unexpected manner hauled off ami
struck Mcmahon heavy blow in the
nose II is thought that McMahons nose
was broken. The officers then used forci
tie means to bring Tuohy under control
and this required some pretty rough hand
ling.
The scutfe attracted a large crowd, In
which were a number of senators, several
of the latter complaining that the prisoner
handled altogether too roughly; but
officials at the Capitol. who are fully ac-
quainted with the circums tances of the
case. declare that Tuohys action was such
as to make it necessary that the police
men proceed exactly as they did in order to
protect themselves.
After Tuohy was taken to the guard
house morphine was found on him and the
opinion was expressed by officials that his
condition was brought on by the use of
that drug. Tuohy said he was from New
York, and that his last employment was
with Dunn & Co. He gave his age as for
ty-tbree years. He was handcuffed and
taken TO the sixth precinct station house,
where he was lockd up.
