Mrs Johnston grieved constantly over

self down a fight OF steps at her home.
At the Emergency Hospital, where the
woman was taken IN an ambulance,
Mrs Johnston begged the doctors to let
her die. She said that life without her
only child was not worth living, and
that she had taken the poison after
carefully thinking 1t over.

The little Johnston girl was killed at

Mrs. Johnston was taking her dauRh-

Thaw May Be Deported
BY immigration Bureau

OTTAWA. Aug. 9O.-Harry X Thaw
may be deported from Canada under
the present plans Of the Canadian i'm
migration department, because within
the meaning Of the Canadian immigra-
tion act he is regarded as a "probit-
ed person" II custom Is followed. ne
will be sent back to New Hampshire,
from which State he entered the Do
miniOn.
The act seems plain in regard to
Thaw's case There are certain classes
who, under section 40. are not eligible to
enter Canada or who. II they succeed
in doing so, are not permitted to re-
main here. The law states that idiots.
imbeciles. insane people. or erstwhile
criminals shall not enter the country,
and If they succeed In eluding immi-
grafton officers they shall be depOrted
forthwith.
There is an exception. however. and
II is interesting TO note that Jack John
son recently managed TO pass through
Canada under the clause which provides
that one of the prohibited class who
enters Canada. carrying with him
through transportation to another coun-
try. may not have his progress impeded.
At the justice department grave doubt
il expressed as to the power Of the
courts 10 grant extradition without a
criminal charge. In the treaty between
Great Britain and the United States
escape from an asylum Is not mentioned
as an extraditable Offense. The de-
partment. however. unhesitatingly eX-
pressed the opinion that the case comes
under the immigration act.
Thaw could he returned to New York
through extradtiOn proceedings insti-
tuted by the State OF New York and
conducted by the proper Federal au-
thorities on a warrant for Thaw's ar
rest accusing him OF bribery. He can
not be extradited on the warrant al
ready issued in New York charging con-
spiraCy. in the Op MON Of the authorl-
ties. because existent treaties deal only
with that brand of conspiracy relating
to revolt against the master OF ship
on the high seas. 4 now warrant
charging bribery. the authorities be-
lieve, would have to he sworn out.
Deportation proceedings are very SIM
pie They merely consist in arrestlnG
the object of deportation and If there
Is sufficient evidence as 10 his identity
and as to his disability to enter the
country he Is escorted across the bord-
er TO a point seyentyfive miles in the

BOARD HAS SECRET
MEETING ON SPEER
Charges Said to Be Serious
Made by Department of Jus-
tlce Against Judge.

Charges Of a serious nature were filed
with the House Judiciary Committee to-
day by the Department of Justice
against Judge Emory Speer. of the
Southern district OF Georgia, one of the
most noted jurists of the South.
The House Committee held a suddenly
called meeting today, and its members
were bound to secrecy regarding the ma
ture of the charges. In formal state
ment issued by Chairman Clayton tie
admission is made that charges have
been filed by the Department of Justice
and are under investigation by the com
mittee.
The committee will reconvene Monday
TO determine whether impeachment pro-
cCedings should be instituted against the
Federal judge.
Has Been Criticise.
Judge Speer has been the subject Of
more or less criticism in Georgia for
the last two years and there has been
constant objections on the part of at
torneys. 1t Is said, to the manner in
which he has handled and disposed OF
certain cases. Several members of the
Georgia delegation recently held meet
ing to discuss legislation to subdivide
Judge Speer's district and this agita-
ton was the result of an alleged unsat-
isfactory condition in the Southern Dis
trict Of Georgia
In recent speech Judge Speer OPEN
ly criticised the Department of Justice
for an alleged system Of espionage in
Federal courts and broadly intimated
that he had been spied upon by agents
of the department
That the Department Of Justice has
been secretly looking into the conduct
of Judge Speer is indicated by the fol-
lowing statement issued today by Chair
man Clayton of the House Committee:
The Department of Justice has
transmitted to the committee a report
of one OF its special examiners bearing
upon the. official conduct of Judge
Emory Speer
Is Not Finished.
The committee had a session today.
and went as far into this report as it
could, but has not completed reading
the report. The committee has nothing
to say on the subject other than that
the committee took a recess until Mon
day next, when they will give the mat
ter further consideration, and will as
soon as possible determine what, II any
thing, the committee should do with
such report and papers.
The committee did not think II
proper to say more on this subject. and
instructed the chairman 10 give out this
statement"

entitled to the $500 and $50 re-

Each has presented his claim to

Riley, on his return from Beacon,
where he thoroughly Investigated the
escape OF Thaw from Matteawan, said
that he was convinced that nobody
within the asylum was responsible for
the escape except Harold Barnum, the
guard, who stupidity opened the gate

This arrest is outrage, and think am right in
resenting it. These officials who have been instrumental
in OBTAINING probably will find themselves in mess

voved in actions for damages and certainly will do all
can to get them into Jail. They have exceeded all

mine finally whether the prisoner could
be extradlted.
The Immigration Bureau never has
had a parallel case to this, and officials
of the bureau refuse to state what posi-
ton they would take IL the case were
reversed and Thaw were a citizen OF
Canada who had fed to this country.
They declare that If Thaw Is deported
Il rests entirely with the Canadian au-
thorities. guided by their immigration
laws. to take what steps they please to
deport Thaw, and that this Government
could not consistently meddle.
Would Wash Hands.
Privately. however, officials Of the bu-
reau expressed the opinion that in a SIM
liar case the United States immigration
authorities would wash its hands clean
by taking the prisoner to the point
where he crossed the line and trans
port him over the border. leaving the
officials on the other side of the border
to settle the fight.
Surprise has been expressed in Gov
ernment circles that one of the warning
governors of New York has not before
this time made a request for extradi-
ton. as that would have been a means
Of forcing the Federal Government to
recognize one Of the contending New
York State officials. That this has not
been done is believed to be due to the
fact that neither Sulzer nor Glynn is
sure of his ground to take a step which
might have a bearing on determining
the settlement Of the New York fight.
The Washington times., 1913-08-20

SHERBROOKE, Aug. %. - Immigrant
Inspector Williams said this afternoon:
"Thaw is going back to the United
States and that very soon. We will
tolerate only reasonable delay, and If
his lawyers think they can enjoin us
from acting they will find themselves
sadly mistaken s--...- -
Williams intimated that he and his
assistant had the power to enter the
Jail and demand that Thaw be turned
over to them forthwith. While the Thaw
lawyers disputed this. they were under
stood to be prepared to checkmate any
such move by injunction proceedings.
Sheriff Hornbeck OF Dutchess county
arrived here at noon with a certifiCated
copy of a warrant issued at Pough-
kecpsie calling for Thaw's arrest. He
filed a copy at the jail, but will make
no move to call it to the attention OF
the court until the present proceedings
are concluded
He said he was hopeful that not only
would Thaw be set free when the court
proceedings begin, but that he will be
deported by the Dominion authorities
via ROuses Point. This would land
Whites slayer in the jurisdiction Of the
New York State authorities and make
his return easy.
One of Thaws companions on his jour
nev to Canada was arrested today on
complaint of the immigration officials.
He gave his name as Henry Thompson,
ard was held on a charge OF having
aided and abetted Thaw to escape from
Mattcawan. He will be given hearing
later. The arrest was inSugated by the
New York authorities.
ThaW's lawyers went TO Jail at noon
to have him sign an affidavit, which
will accompany the habeaS corpus pro-
ceedings. They said they would ask
Judge Globensky late this afternoon
10 postpone all proceedings.
We would like week to famliarize
ourselves with this case. said White,
but we vii! not complain II we only
get one day
For Many Weeks.
Experts here said today that Thaw
would probably remain here many
weeks. They look for a duplication of
the Greene-Gaynor fight. White, Thaw's s
chief counsel, was the prominent figure
in this battle.
So far the government has not en-
gagged special counsel, al Of its case
being handled by Crown Prosecutor W.
F. Nichol.
and It's B,O0O citizens are grateful TO
him, A crowd OF more than 900 hangs
about the Jail, cheering and aplauding
him. They cannot see him, but he can
hear their shouts. and he was cores
pondingly much more composed today,
seemingly believing that the people here
reflected the general opinion OF all the
Canadians.

its officials cannot conceive 1t to be

ton Inspector O'Donnell today. "Thaw

The only other department Of the
Government to which the case could
be brought is the State Department,
and this would be by a request for
extrsdition from New York State.
mo such request has been received
by the department" said Acting So
licitor Van Dyne.
Canada Must Initiate.
At both the State Department and
the Department of Labor it was de-
clared that the initiative must come
from Canada, unless New York ap-
plies for extradition.
II sucn a request was MADE IL would
come direct to Secretary Bryan from
the governor of New York. This
would place the State Department in
the position Of taking sides in the
fight over the New York governorship,
as II would be necessary for the State
Department TO request either Sulzer
or Glynn. the claimants to the New
York governorship. to forward to the
department the legal documents out
lining the charges with which the
man sought to be extradited was
charged.
Would Pass On Question.
The State Department then, in effect,
would pass on the question of whether
the charges against Thaw constituted
grounds for extradition under the treaty
between the two countries. II It was
found a prima facie case the charges on
which the writ was based would be for
warded to the Canadian authorities, and
a formal diplomatic request for Thaw's
extradition would be made to the Brit
