Canadian Lawyer Says Eng

MORE BRIEFS ARE FILED
Stone Threatens Congressional Inquiry Into Bryan's Re-
 fuSaI to Act.

Concord, N. Ill., Oct. TT. R. B. Me Innes, one of the Canadian attorneys for Harry K. Thaw. was in this city yesterday, and when informed by the press dispatches that Secretary Bry- an would not take up the case with England said that the matter would be taken to the floor of the United British Government had of it's own volition asked for an explanation from the Canadian Government.
 Two more sets of briefs in behalf of Thaw were filed with the Secretary of State yesterday afternoon by Will liam A. Stone of Pennsylvania and Attorneys Drew, Shurtleff, Morris and Oakes of this state: The combined briefs in behalf of Thaw now placed before Governor FTeIker, including that filed on Saturday by Martin, Donigan & Howe of this city, comprise about 15, 600 words.
 There seems to be a strong suspicion among Thawis lawyers that Jerome is to inject some new move into the ex- tradition proceedings, possibly setting up entirely new grounds for extrad1- ton.
 virtually promised equal courtesy with opposing counsel by the governor in the matter of additional time to meet any new phase of the case which may arise. So that it appears that the day of final decision by the governor is put considerably into the future.
 The governors council meets here today for a regular session and Gov ernor Felker is expected to be pres ent; but 1t is hardly probable that any matters relating to the Thaw case wlN be considered.
 The points in the fugitive's behalf set up by, MT. Stone in his brief are that the requisition is not in accordance with the rules fixed by the governors of New Hampshire, that an insane per- son cannot commit a, crime, that a lunatic cannot be extradited and can not be guilty of @, crime and that the application is not made in good faith.
 The brief of Drew, Shurtlen, Morris and Oakes Is an exhaustive review or the whole proceeding, starting with a lengthy consideration of the question of interstate extradition, which it is contended is governed by law and not bv connity. Then follow arguments and citations concerning the questions as to whether or not the reQufs1t1on conforms to the rules of practice In New Hampshire and if the ahdav1ts charge an offence. Their conclusions are that the application for the ex- tradition of Thaw should be denied.
 Secretary Bryan,s refusal of the re- quest of the Thaw counsel for interna- tionaI proceedings brought from Will liam A. Stone the following state ment:
 "Secretary Bryan decides that it is not a violation of the treaties between the United States and the British Gov ernments and Canada to seize an American citizen at o'clock in the morning and catapult him into Yer mont by automobile and drop him across the line at a remote place, with out previous notice or sustenance, De- cause it is not stated in any of the treaties that it should not be done.
 '"The Canadian immigration law was passed in 1910. It provides that cit1- zens of Canada ordered deported by an immigration board of inquiry may appeal to the Canadian courts
 ''Mr. Thaw had appealed to the Can adian courts from the order of the immigration board deporting him. His appeal was ignored by the immigra- tion officers and he was forcib1y sent ,over the line. This could not be done to a citizen of Canada, and their inn migration law and it's enforcement discrirninates against American citi- zens. Treaties cannot be annulled by legislation of either contracting pow CT.
 'sMr. Bryan has made a mistake in refusing to make inquiry of the Brit ish Ambassador concerning the treat ment of citizen Thaw and his refusal will likely result in Congressional in ouiry''
