Ottawa, Ont. Aug. 19.-Harry K. ThaY will be deported from Canada under the present plans of the Cana dian immigration department, because within the meaning of the Canadian immigration act he is regarded as a prohibited person. If custom is fol- lowed, he will be sent back to New Hampshire. from which state he en- tered the dominion
 It was late this afternoon when the department was officially notified of ThaF's apprehension and immediately Inspectors D. H. Reynolds and F. F.. Williams were despatched to Sher- brooke with instructions to watch the case and institute proceedings to the above mentioned end. The department wired this afternoon to the chief of police at Sherbrooke to hold Thaw un- der the immigration act
 How Jack Jo' inson Escaped.
 The act seems plain fin regard to Thaw's case. Tn Ire are certain class es wfle under section 40, are not eigf- ble to enter Canada. or who if they succeed in doing so. are not permitted to remain here. The law states that idiots irnbeciles, insane people or erstwfi1e criminals shall not enter the country. and if they do succeed in eluding the officers of fhe immigration department they shall be deported forthwith
 There is an exception however. and ii is interesting to note that the negro pugilist, Jack Johnson. recently man aged to pass through Canada under the clause which provides that one Of the prohibited class who enters Cana da- carrying with him through trans portation to another country, may not have his progress impe6ed-
 Doubt as to Extradition.
 Information received here does not say whether T1aw has taken the pre- caution Of securing such transporta- ton though following so closely on the Johnson affair it is difficult to see how his legal advisers could have overlooked this contingency.
 At the justice department grave doubt is expressed as to the power of the courts to grant extradition under which authority Thaw has evidently been held In the treaty between Great Britain and the United States escape from an asylum is not men tioned as an extraditable offense. The department. however, unhesftatingly expressed the opinion that the case comes under the immigration act May Be Sent Back to New Hampshire
 Questions of the legality of Thaw's arrest do not conflict with any action under the immigration act. Deporta- ton proceedings are very simple.
  object of deportation and if there is sufficient evidence as to his identity and as to his disability to enter the coun- try under the limitations of the law. he is simply escorted across the bor- der to point 76 miles in the interior. The custom is to remove him through the port and into the state from which he entered after the officers of ihs United States government have been notified. under reciprocity agreement between the United States and CaffAda, in advance, It is likely that fhaw will be sent back to New Hampshire.
