morrow.
Two men We're arrested with Thaw but
liberated later at Goaticook They are
believed to be eonfederates who aided
Thaw in his escape. The two men refused
to give their names or say anything about
themselves. They followed Thaw here
from Coaticook and remained in town
overnight.

statement under this caption, typewrit-

No one has contended that for two
years, nearly that. Thaw has been in

II may have been going home,' he re-
piled quickly and finally.
No amount of questioning could induce
him to modify this declaration, nor could
the interviewers persuade him to tell
where he had been or what he had done
since leaving Matteawan. Courteously
but firmly he declined to answer all ques-
tions even remotely bearing ON the topic.
The authorities believe, however. that
Thaw had an all-day ride at breakneck
speed after he left Matteawan. An auto
mobile answering the description of his

ACT PLAIN IN
REGARD TO CASE

The act seems plain in regard to Thaw's
case There are certain classes who. un-
der section 40, are not eligible to enter
Canada, or who if they succeed in doing
so are not permitted to remain here. The
law states that idiots. imbeciles, insane
people or erstwhiie criminals shall not
enter the country, and If they succeed in
eluding immigration officers they shall
be deported forthwith.
There is an exception, however, and it
is interesting to note the negro pugilist
Johnson recently managed to pass through
Canada under the clause which provides
that one OF the prohibited class who en-
ters Canada carrying with him through
transportation to another country may not
have his progress impeded
Information received here does not say
whether Thaw had taken the precaution
of securing such transportation, though
following so closely on the johnson af-
fair II is difficult to see how his legal
advisers could have overlooked this con-
tingency,

GRAVE DOUBT
IS EXPRESSED

At the justice department grave doubt
Is expressed as to the power OF the courts
to grant extradition. IN the treaty be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
escape from an asylum is not mentioned
as an extraditabe offense. The depart
ment, however, unhesitatingly expressed
the opinion that the case comes under
the immigration act
Questions of the legality of Thaw's ar
resi- do not conflict with any action under
the immigration act. Deportation pro-
ceedings are very simple They merely
consist in arresting the object of deporta-
tion and if there is sufficient evidence
as to his identity and as to his disability
TO enter the country, he is escorted across
the border to a point Is miles in the in
terror. The custom is to remove him
through the port and into the state from
which he entered after the officers of
the United States have been notified, I'M
der an agreement between the United
States and Canada. In advance. 1t is like
j. Thaws viii be sent back to New Hamp-
shire
Objection to deportation proceedings
have rarely succeeded. as prohibited Inn
migrants have not, under the act, the
opportunity of resisting the inspectors Of
the immigration department.
Once Thaw Is landed back over the
border 1t will be a matter OF domestic
concern as to how he will be further
dealt with.

Manager Harry Smith, of the cham
pion Tigers. who is noted for his
accuracy as baseball dopester,
comes across with a prediction that
Johnny Enzmann should take Raleigh
Aitchison's crown next season as the
champion twirler of the International
League. Smith, who picked Johnny
for a Conner the first time he met
the Bengal youngster in Petersburg
two years ago, Is of the opinion that
Johnny went stale last year and
strained his arm because he worked
too hard in the spring. Smith admits
that working nine innings against
Brooklyn at Savannah last March
after only few weeks training did
Johnny no good.
Enzmann was feeling so good, how
ever, and was pitching SO cleverly
against Nap Rucker, that he hated TO
leave the box and Smith consented to
let him go the route. Johnny lost the
game, / to 0, but that was not the
worst of it; he strained his arm, and
in the middle of June it warped up
on him and he was of little use until
late in tho season. Johnny came
around Just In time to help the Tigers
from slipping into second place.
Next spring Enzmann's training
will consist of pitching no more than
two or three innings day, and Smith
expects that Johnny will prove con-
sistent winner all season. Enzmann
is not Of the iron man variety Oh

Want Earlier Date for
Harvard-C0rnell Rowing Race

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 15.--If
Harvard and Cornell are to meet upon
the river next Spring the date set for
the brush will probably have to come
much earlier than in previous years.
The two crews have been accustomed
to meet the latter part of May.
The selection Of May % for the Cor
nell Princeton race is taken at Har-
ward as indicating that Cornell has at
last yielded to the Crimson's wishes
for a much earlier date. Manager
Aspinwall, yesterday, however, stated
the date had not been definitely fixed,
but admitted that it looked as though
Harvard might meet Cornell earlier
than in the past.
