Doherty Ordered Deportation

Ottawa, Ontario, September 1D.-C j.
Doherty, as acting minister of the inter
ior department today said thar lie had
rejected Thaw's appeal from the de-
cision of the immigration board of in
quiry upholding more or less The find
ings of the board and ordering the
deportation of Thaw forthwith
This order was carried out today.
The writ of habeas corpus or pro-
hibition issued at Montreal according
grafton authorities from taking this
season.
Mr.. Doherty was IN conference for
several hours yesterday WITH e. T..
Newcomb. deputy minister of Justice.
and Hon. Arthur Meighen, solicitor
general. on the legal aspect of the
Thaw case.
1t is believed the resalt of that con-
ference had a direct bearing on Thaw's
unexpected deportation.
Il issued the warrant for Thaw's de-
portation which has been acted on. I
did 1t in pursuance of my duty as act =
ing minister of the Interior" said Judge
Doherty. "I assume full responsibility
for the deportation. Action has been
taken after careful considerat ton.
What was done was merely to carry
out the law" he concluded.
Doherty explained that the Canadian
immigration law directed the seizure
of persons who were suspected of be-
ing undesirable. their examination by
a board of inquiry and deportation.
Thaw was suspected. seized. examined,
condemned as an undesirable and now
has been sent back whence lie came
and by the same route, added Judge
Doherty
what about the court orders. tho
writ of prohibition and the habeas
corpus writ?' was a query.
There has been a good deal of mis-
understanding on those points" Doh
erty responded. There was no writ OF
prohibition directed to the authorities
who had Thaw in custody. As for the
writ of habeas corpus it was directed
at the officer who had Thaw in GUS
tody before the board of inquiry took
action definitely. 1t directed the official
to produce Thaw on Monday. BY the
operation of the immigration law Thaw
passed from the possession of the Of
ficer to whom the writ of habeas cor
pus had been directed. He came by op-
Grafton of the law into possession of
other officials There was no court or
der restricting them and nothing to
prevent them executing the warrant
for deportation"
New York asked that Thaw be sent
back to that state instead OF TO some
other point on the international bound
AIRY. WAS this point considered before
action was taken" was the added
aYry nss -. ,,,u. or, '.
considered and We found the law di-
rects that an undesirable be deported
by the route by which he enters the
country. This Is what We have fol-
lowed"
Attorneys here said that Thaw's coun-
sci blundered in falling to have the
writs directed toward the Canadian
minister of justice instead of the minor
officials.

SEVEN BODIES ARE
RESCUED FROM SEA
Accident to German Airship
Caused by Overlooking,
Says Expert

Helgoland, North Sea. September 10.
Torpedo boat destroyers with searchlishts
flashing remained all night at the scene
of yesterdays airship accident in which
IA of a crew of u perished. Seven bodies.
including those of Captain Metzns, chief
of the naval airship service, and Captain
Hanne, commander of the wrecked dirigi-
BILE have already been recovered.
The hurricane which destroyed the big
envelope, turned into steady gale to-
Gay, and it has been impossible to locate
the articles of wreck. A hydroaeroplane
accompanying the balloon had a narrow
escape. Lieutenant Langefeld, the avia- =
tor saw the storm approaching and
reached a haven opportunely.
Berlin, September 10.-Major Won Par
seval well known balloon and aeroplane
constructor, In an interview today de-
elared that the destruction of the naval
airship was brought about by overlooking
the vessel with an extra crew.
The airship reached its highest alti-
tude, Major Won Parseval contended, only
by means of its motor the body of the
craft serving as an aeroplane. The loss
of gas when the balloon passed through
cold atmosphere added to the overweight
and when it became necessary to descend
the airshp fell rapidly and was crumb-
pied by impact with the sea.
friend of Captain Hannes in state
ment tonight said that Hanne knew that
the LII was too heavy for a big crew
and had remarked on one occasion that
he expected some day to be obliged to
make a swift glide to the earth
The new I-2 has a lifting capacity of
three and a half tons more than had
the LII.
An official report issued tonight says
the disaster to the dirigibe LII detracts
nothing from the worth of the rigid sys-
tenn airship as instrument of warfare.
The loss of the dirigible, it points out,
WAS not due to technical deficiencies lac<
of ballast or loss of gas. but solely to
the greater power of unusual weather
conditions Sudden gusts, sometimes hort
zontal. sometimes vertical, drove the air.

Jerome Talks of Case


Z Greenfield, Mlss.. September 10.-Wil-
liam Travers Jerome arrived here from
North Adams ct 4:05 o'clock. While
waiting for his special train to be made
up he discussed the Thaw case.
i cannot say just what | shall do when
| reach Colebrools" he said 'There of
course, We must be governed by New
Hampshire law. We shall spare neither
time nor expense to take Thak back to
'Matteawan. | mad received explicit as
surances that no such action would be
taken by the Canadian officials until
after the hearing set for September 10.
There was no possible chance of a mis-
understanding. Set this down as a fact.
and that is the state of New York does
not want Harry Thaw back in Mattea-
wan simply because he is criminally in
sane, because New York has enough
criminal lunatics to look after as It is.
Thaw never could have escaped without
using money very literally, and the state
of New York purposes that such at
tempts at srafE shall be overwhelmed.

return to this state from New Hampshire
is confidently expected by state officials
and supporters of both Governor Sulzer
and Acting Governor Glynn.
, Attorney General Carmody already had
taken steps to bring about Thaw's return
on extradition papers based upon charge
that Thaw escaped from Matteawan hos
pital as a result of conspiracy. Acting
Governor Giynn stands ready To sign the
requistion for the extradition as soon as
it is prepared by District Attorney Con-
ger of Duchess county in which the Mat
teawan hospital is located.
Governor Sulzer. SO far as could be
learned, has taken no official action how
ever.
The most optimistic attaches of the at
torney generals office do not hope to
bring about Thaw's return without a legal
battle over the rival claims to the govern
ship.
District Attorney Conger has notified
the attorney general that duplicates Of
the conspiracy charge are now available
in New Hampshire and that the requisi-
ton papers will be in Albany tomorrow
for executive approval.
Attorney General Carmody was indg-
nsEt over the acuon or the Canadian au-
thorites in releasing Thaw without Civ
Ing notice to New York state officials
He, however, expressed the opinion that
Thaw would be returned to New York
jurisdiction.
Acting Governor Glynn. as soon as he
learned that Thaw had been deported
from Canada, sent duplicate kilograms to
