block his deportation. If ever Il little

cooh did yesterday. First came Je-
rome s arrest and release on bail ON u
charge that he had played poker Thurs
day on railroad property with some
newspaper men. Meantime the special
board OF inquiry ordered Thaw 5 he
.portation to Vermont under two
clauses of the immigration act. namely.
that he had entered Canada by stealth
and had within five years been an in
mate Of an institution for the insane.
From both these decisions ThaW $ law
Eers appealed, then chnched matters
with a notice by telegraph that the
writ had been granted in Montreal.
The immigration officers, headed by
2 T.. Blake Robertson. were inclined to
5 ignore any court order coming over
the wire, but they were powerless in
the matter of the appeals, and Thaw
/ remained i'm the detention room over
r the Grand Trunk railroad station.
/ Jerome : arrest was due to two
p causes and was not prompted in any
r way by the Thaw lawyers. One and
= all they expressed Indignation Mt the
! move and said they were ready to aid
him. What the arrest really siguitied
was the state Of public opinion al
