Ottowa, Ontario. Aug. 19.-The Canadian government will order the deportation of Harry K. Thaw, luna tic-slayer, who was arrested at Coaticook, Quebec, early today. Thaw will resist any action sending him back to the United States with all the power of that family's wealth is able to command.
 The most sensational legal fight ever waged is expected as result of developments that have come since Thaw was taken into custody shortly after crossing the border line.
 Both sides have already mapped out their plans. The Canadian gov ernment is acting on the law provid- ing that any person who enters Cana da within five years of his incarcera- tion in a penitentiary or asylum may be sent back as undesirable" Thaw, who was taken from Coati- cook to tSherbrooke, Quebec, this afternoon, has already retained Soli- citor w. l.. Shurtleff, one of the best known lawyers in Eastern Canada. Shurtleff has had vast experience in 1 tangled cases presenting great diff faculties to counsel and has usually been on the winning side.
 Despite Thaw's confident assertions when he was arrested that he had done nothing for which he could be arrested, the DOmiliOn's immigration department went ahead with it's plans today as if the legal formalities nec- essary for the return of Thaw would soon be accomplished.
 There seemed to be only one mat ter on which the officials were un
 dicided. That was as to whether Thaw should be handed over to American officials at some point on the New York border or whether he should be sent back to the New Hampshire line which he crossed to |enter Canada.

sary in the case. Thaw 5 lawyer ap-
peared for Thompson, whose real name
it is alleged here is Roger Thompson.
Thaw appeared this morning to have
spent a restless night. He ate no

long enough to send a telegram to z
friend in Pittsburg stating that he,
Thaw, had telegraphed through a third
party to ex-Gov Stone Of Pennsylva-
MIA asking him to appeal to Secretary

that ne was the victim Of some under

going to his own home.
The governor of the Sherbrooke jail
laughed today when asked if special
guards had been detailed to watch
Thaw. He denied that this is true,
but it is understood that precaution-

A light boom had been constructed be-

FUSE BURNED OUT,
STICKS NOT IGNITTED
The Charge, Which Consisted of Three
Whole 1O-Inch Sticks and Two
Halves With Fuse and Detonator,

yesterday afternoon near Mayor Gay

found that the explosive was 40 per

would make no statement regarding
the possible connection between any
previous menace by mail and the dyna-
mite of yesterday. 1t is just three
years ago this month that he was shot
in the neck by a so-caled crank and
so badly wounded that for several days
it was feared he would die.
The dynamite found yesterday lay
on a basement door i'm a concrete moat
or arcaway, within 60 feet of the may

AMERICAN PLANS FOR
HUERTA GOVERNMENT
Will Be Shown i'll Two Notes, Also the
Replies from Mexico-President Has

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Presilcnt
Wilson was at work last night on a
special message which he probably
viii read to both houses of Congress
next Monday, relating in detail the
negotiations which have been con
ducted through his personal repre-
sentative, John Lind, with the iIuerta
government in Mexico
The decision to make compre-

Congress was reached to-day after the
President had about concluded that
the negotiations between Mr. Lind and
Provisional President Huerta since
the exchange of notes had developed
no new basis for discussion.
With his message the President viii
present the two notes setting forth
the American suggestions to the
( hucrta government and its reply

/ While there was no information
from the White House to indicate
what object it was hoped to accom-
plish through message ut this time
