did not alter his assertion that he be-

in the day, declared emphatically that
he had not received the paper, which

was accompanied by his mother, said
he had taken a paper from Senator
Bailey during the latter's speech. had
shown 1t to other Senator'S, and that as
he started toward the disk with it, Mr..
Loeffler intercepted him and took 1t

Facts brought out by the examina-

Senator Gore to interrupt the testimony

Denies Thaw Appeal

The State Department yesterday denied
the appeal of Harry X. Thaw, who
claimed that his recent deportation from

tween the United States and Great Brit
ain.
The State Department will take no fur
ther part in the matter.
Solicitor Joseph w. Folk, of the State
Department. issued the following state
ment:
After careful examination of the
treaties between this government and the
government OF Great Britain alleged to
have been infringed upon in the deporta-
ton OF Harry X. Thaw from Canada,
this department can find no provision vio-
lated by the action taken in connection
with this case by the Canadian authori-
ties, either administrative or judicial
This department, therefore, would not
be warranted in making any representa-
ton to the British government In the
matter. The inquiry determined Is not
whether Thaw should be liberated or
whether extradition should be granted,
but the question before the department
is whether there was violation of any
British-American treaty in the Thaw
case by the Canadian authorities. The
reply must be in the negative. Senator
Oliver. who brought the matter TO the
attention Of the department, will be ad-
vised accordingly"
