 TURNS IN ALL FEES
States That They Sometimes Amount.
 to $4o0 Year.

New Haven. Conn, Aug. 21.-Gov- ernor Baldwin and Comptroller Daniel F. Dunn were the principal speakers at banquet tonight at the Momauguin of the democrats of the 18th senatorial district, and at which a working or ganization to be known as the twelfth senatorial district association was formed.

 Comptroller Dunn also expressed a,p- proval of the move and then discussed briefly the record of the democrats in the last session of the general as sembly and touched upon a number of other matters in connection with the capitol business. He referred to the fees which the comptroller receives for signing of bond issues of corpora tions and other commercial papers, saying that these fees sometirpes amounted to as much as four hundred dollars a year Comptrollers who had preceded him, he said, usually kept the fees thenaselves, but he believed the Nav required that they should b turn ed over to the state, and he was fol- lowing that oourse.

No Opposition
 by Republicans
SENATE DEMOCRATS HAD PLAIN
 SAILING YESTERDAY
FREE WOOL GOES OVER
Fight on This Issue Scheduled for To-
 day-Now Expected to Reach Vote on the Tariff Bill by September 18th.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Republlcan senators gave evidence today of tiring over continued fruitless opposition to the tariff schedules, and rapid progress was made in consideration of the bill, the fight on free raw wool having been postponed until tomorrow.
 Flax and Silk Schedules Approved.
 The flax and silk schedules were ap- proved as amended by the finance com- mittee and democratic caucus. Sena- tors McCumber and Gronna ineffect- ually sought to transfer flax from the free to the dutiable list. To the silk schedule, which gave the finance com mIttee much trouble, having been en- tirely rewritten with specific duties substituted for the house ad valorem rates in most instances, not an amend ment was offered today nor a criti- clsm made by a minority member.
 Paper Schedule goes over.
 One paragraph relating to woven fabrics in the piece at 40 per cent. ad valorem was passed over at the re- quest of Chairman Simmons for re- vision. The schedule was disposed of in Is minutes
 Consideration of the paper schedule was begun but the paragraph relating to print paper and the proposed count ervalllng duty on paper valued at more than 2 1-2 cents per pound was passed over at the request of Senator Lodge until tomorrow
 Look for Vote by Sept. 15. r. Besides paper and wool, the sundries schedule and the free list remain to be considered. Then will come the in come tax, cotton futures tax and ad- ministrative features. Senators today pleased with the progress made ex- pressed hope that vote on the bill in the senate might be taken by Sep tember 15 if not earlier

authority for the extradition of>Thaw from either of those states to New fork on the ground that he is an es- capped lunatic. The statutes coverine extradition relate only to fugitiYes from justice from another state who must be charged with q crime commit ted in that state.
 This was the interpretation of the statutes of the two states given by competent attorneys of this city to- day It was pointed out that the war rant charging Thaw with conspiracy issued by the authorities of Duchess county, New York, could be made the basis for extradition proceedings
 It was held that if the question were then brought Up in the state where ex- tradition was asked that Thaw, being insane, could not have committed a crtme-that this question could not be adjudicated by the authorities of that state.
 The question would be for the New York authorities to decide after his extradition, it was said.
 A decision of the United States s,1- pFe1ne court in the matter of extra di- ton between states holds that whether the charge brought is legal and "suffl - e4ently laid in the tndictnent'' Is a 4li- dfeial question to be decided by fhe courts of the state in which the crime was committed and not by the exeou- t1Fe authof1ty or tle state upon which the dehand Is made,
 ThewOonee brought back in this manner, the question would then com e uR in the state of NsW York as te whether, being 1unatie under the laws of that stats, he ee;d1d ase tried on the charge of conspiracy. Whether he ceu1d be or net he would he in the custody ef ehe Kew Yerls authorities and there would be nothing to fsreyeef his feineafeerati6n ill MatteaWan, it Was said.

Dynamite Near GaynOr's Office
SUFFICIENT AMOUNT TO WRECK
 CITY HALL
ONE STICK SCORCHED
No Explosion Because Cotton was
 Wound Too Tightly Around Fuse Detectives Making Close Investie eation

New York, Aug. 21.-A deadly charge of dynamite-three whole ten inch sticks and two halves with a fuse and detonator-Was discovered this after noon near Mayor Gaynors office win doWs in the city hall. The bureau of combustibles found that the explosive was 40 per cent. dynamite, the regu- lation blasting proportion and the amount found could, if exploded, have wrecked the city hall.
 Discovered by Citizen.
 The mayor was in his office when the dynamite was discovered by a cit 1zen passing through city hall park MT. Gaynor evinced little interest when told of the explosives proximity and remained apparently undisturbed at his desk while police officers hurriedly drew cordon about the dynamite to keep back an excited crowd
 Receives Many Threatening Letters.
 Mayor Gaynor frequently receives threatening letters, but tonight he would make no statement regarding the possible connection between the previous menace by mail and the dyna- mite of today. It is just three years this month that he was shot in the neck by so-called crank and so badly wounded that for several days it was feared he would die.
 A Partly Burned Fuse.
 The dynamite found today lay on a basement door in concrete moat or areaway, within sixty feet of the may ranged in lattice formation, with the two small pieces on top. A partly burned four inch fuse, made of gum powder lightly rolled in a paper cylin- der, led to detonating cap on one of the half sticks of dynamite
 
 Several Partly Burned Matches.
 Close to the explosive was a piece of Chinese punk and several partly burned matches. The dynamite and fuse were wrapped in a piece of heavy canabric secured by red and blue tWine. The cloth was blue. with red and white fig ures, and resembled the fillets worn by Italian women of the working class.
 How Explosion Was Prevented.
 The bureau Of combustibles experts state that the only thing which pre- vented a disastrous explosion was the presence of strip of cotton wool wound so tightly around the base of the fuse that spark could not reach the detonator: An edge of one dyna- mite stick was slightly scorched.
 Tine investigators do not attach much Importance to the finding of half burned matches and a partly consumed cigar near the explosive. Hundreds or smokers pass the afeaway during the noon hour and some of them oc- casionally throw dead matches and cigar butts there.
 Detectives Investigating.
 The police authorities say that la borers sometimes carelessly drop dyna- mite sticks near their blasting oper- ations. There is an excavation shaft on the Broadway side of City Hall park leading to the new subway construc- tion. Detectives are making 8 close investigation tonight of this location, although the contractors declare they do not use forty per cent, dynamite in their operations

WILLIAM sULzER.

Governor" torney General Carmody, sent tele- gram in duplicate to Mr. Bryan and to the federal secretary of commerce requesting them ''in the name of the state of New York; to ask Canadian immigration authorities to deport Har- ry K. Thaw to the state of New York The telegram emphasized the import ance of haste.
 MT. Glynn's activities for the day in the Thaw matter began at two o'clock in the morning, when he was routed from bed to receive & despatch from District Attorney Conger of Duchess county at Sherbrooke, Can- ada, informing him that MT. Conger had been in communication with inn migration commissioner W. D. Scott Of Ottawa and that he felt encouraged to believe that the Canadian authori- ties would accede to the request that ThaW be deported to some point in this state. Later Mir. Congep wired that the Canadian authorities had appar- ently changed their minds and seemed disposed to put the fugitive over the international border at some point in Vermont. if they decided to return him at all.
 Several other messages passed, in cluding an exchange of telegrams be- tween the acting governor on the one side and Commissioner Scott and Fred C. Blair. supervisor of the bureau of immigration at Ottawa on the other. The two points that Mir. Glynn clnch- cd in his messages were the special urging of immediate action and the iIn- portance of surrendering the fugitive directly to New York state officials
 'Supervisor Blair informed the act ing governor by telephone that he could do nothing until the courts had taken action. After this Mir Blair as- sured him his depsrtnen would use every effort to have Tbaw returned direct to New York state Later the sub1otned telegram vas received from Commissioner Scott by Attorney Gen. eral Carmody;
 'Txtradition proceedings in Thaw case now before court This depart rnent cannot deal with him until court has decided in extradttion application. Will advise you our action immediate ly case Is dealt with by our officers"
 Mir.
