Albany, n. Y. August 19.-Expecta-
tlon that the reconvening OF the leg
islature today would be productive of
spectacular developments in the mud
died governorship situation failed of
realization. Rumors that acting Gov
ermnor Glynn would submit a message
bearing in some way upon his official
status drew large crowds to the capt.
tol, but few members appeared.
In the 10minute session of the as
sembly concurrent resolutions were in
troduced looking to the punishment for
contempt in refusing to answer ques-
tions before the Frawley investigating
committee of Louis A. Sarecky, Cover
nor Suffers private secretary, during
the gubernatoria1 campaign and Fred
eric< L. Colwell. who is alleged To have
been Mr.. Suffers dummy in certain
stock transactions.
The judiciary committee was called
Upon to take up action on charges
affecting the integrity of the assembly
said to have made by James C. Gar
rison
Transacts No Business
The senate transacted no business,
Both houses adjourning until tomorrow.
Most of Acting Governor Glynns time
was taken up by private conferences
with democratic leaders, who were said
to be advising him in the formulation
of definite programme.
Governor Suffers day was uneventful
except for his appointment of a new
commission to ascertain the mental
condition of patient confined in the
Auburn state prison under sentence
of death.
Special significance attaches TO this
action from the fact that however the
commission may find. 1t mightsopen the
door to court proceedings to test the
validity of the governors act.
Governor sulzer seemed unperturbed
over the opinion of Attorney General
Carmody upholding the contention that
he is unlawfully exercising Che func-
tions of chief executive, pending the
outcome of the impeachment proceed

silence adopted since the impeachment

Guardian Notified

0udIuIdH INOtl1ltu
Fittsburg, August 19.-It is probably that
Roger OMara. guardian of Harry X.
Thaw and former superintendent of Pitts
burg police, will leave here shortly for
Canada to look after certain interests of
his ward. OMara received a telegram
today from Thaw as follows:
Am under arrest. Advise"
Mr.. O'Mara sent lengthy telegram to
Thaw in reply. In this telegram OMara
told Thaw to hire the best legal talent;
not to worry and to feel assured that
everything possible was being DONE
O'Mara denied that Thaw had wired to
Pittsburg today for large sum of money
and stated that Thaw did not need money
at this time He said. however, that
Thaw may have directed such a request
to his mother at Cresson, Pa.
Mr.. O'Mara tonight went to bed early
with the announcement that he wanted
rest as he expected hard days work
tomorrow"
Earlier in the day Mrs. Mary C. Thaw,
mothor of Harry X. Thaw, talked with
Mr. O'Mara over the long distance tele-
phone. Mrs Thaw was preparing then
to go to the Thaw summer home at Cres-
son. AT that time Mrs. Thaw told O'Mara
she was ignorant of the whereabouts of
her son, but she wished for Mr.. O'Mara
to join him. and escort him to Cresson.
O'Mara Skeptical
When word was flashed from Coaticook,
Quebec, that Thaw had been captured, Mr.
O'Mara, for a time was skeptical. Later
Thaws message to him dispelled all
doubt 1t was learned that O'Mara has
received opinions from prominent attor-
neys that Thaw cannot be held in Cam
ada. 1t was stated Thaw might be de-
ported as an undesirable providing he did
not hold ticket to point outside the
borders of Canada. In any event, it was
said. Thaw would have to be sent to the
point in the United States from which he
entered Canada.
Mr.. O,Mara stated that former Gov
William A. Stone of Pennsylvania, personal
counsel for Thaw, who Is said to be at
an isolated fishing camp in Tioga coun-
ty. had not been summoned to take up
the matter.

COMPARES Two Cases

Sharon, Pa, August 19.-Attorney w. H.
Davis, who represented Miss Ottillie
Schneider, who escaped from Matteawan
in November, 1911, and was afterwards
captured here, in discussing the question
raised by New York lawyers as to wheth-
er Harry X. Thaw is immune from ar
rest and cited the Schneider case, says
that Miss Schneider was a fugitive from
justice on charges of assault in the first
degree. she having shot DIR. Frederick
Bierhoff in New York city. She had never
been tried for the crime, but was ad-
judged insane before being tried, so that
extradition papers were served on her as
fugitive from justice. 1t is on this
account that Attorney Davis declares that
Schneider case is quite different from that
of Thaw.

BADLY MUTILATED
BODY OF RAILROAD
MAN IS FOUND
killing of A. NJ. Armstrong
Near Ross Landing is
ShrOuded in Mystery

Selma, August Especial. )-Infor-
nation regarding the killing of a
white man, A NJ. Armstrong. which oc-
CURED in Wilcox county during the
past week down the Alabama river was
obtained here Tuesday. The killing oc-
CURED near Ross landing and is
shrouded in mystery.
Mr.. Armstrong was passenger on
the Alabama river boat from Mobile,
which reached Selma last Saturday He
left the boat at Ross landing for the
purpose of going into the interior
country to secure right of ways for
the proposed Gulf. Florida and Ala
bama Railroad company.
Just at the landing where Mr.. Arm
strong left the boat the river curves
and there is a deep eut-in and the
boat after passing some Is or 20 miles
up the river, almost rubs against the
same spot of Ross landing, only a
couple of miles through the country.
one got on the boat and told of the
death of Mr.. Armstrong, who had left
it just a short while before.
A strange coincidence in reference to
the murder of Mr.. Armstrong is that
about two years ago. another railroad
man left river boat at the same
landing and was murdered in almost
the identical spot where the mutilated
body of Mr.. Armstrong was found. The
sheriff of Wilcox county is working on
the case ana hopes to ferret out the
mysterious killing of the railroad man.
through the Dominion to Detroit. He did
not permit close examination of the pa
pers he displayed and his claim could
not be verified. Thaw seemed to be en-
tirely familiar with the laws of the coun-
try and cited the Jack Johnson case in
support of his contention that he could
not legally be held or deported.

Leave for Sherbrooke

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, August 19-Dis-
trict Attorney Edward Conger, Sheriff
Hornbeck and former District Attorney
Mack left tonight for Sherbrooke, Quebec,
with the avowed intention of taking Har-
ry Thaw into custody and returning him
either to the Dutchess county jail or Mat
teawan asylum.
The officials have warrant charging
conspiracy issued by Justice Morschau-
ser. and If it Is found Thaw cannot be
extradited on a conspiracy charge, a new
warrant charging bribery will be applied
for and an attempt made to extradite the
fugitive on that charge.
The district attorney hopes, however,
that Canada will deport Thaw and in so
doing land him over the international line
in New York instead of in New Hamp-
shire or Vermont. Should this be done.
Mr.. Conger and his associates will be
waiting on the line to take Thaw into
custody and bring him back. They don't
want him returned in another state than
New York because he would then have
an opportunity to attempt to prove he
is sane and tedious litigation and delay
would follow.
Description of Men
Sheriff Hornbeck and District Attorney
Congress went to Matteawan this after
noon to get a complete description of
the five men-Richard Butler Roger
Thompson. Eugene Duffy, Michael
O'Ksefe and Thomas Flood-who, it is al
legged, aided Thaw to escape The Off
cials inquired also as to the ownership
of an automobile which they believe was
used as a pathfinder for the Thaw car
last Saturday
Chief of Police McCabe ascertained that
this car made the tour from Matteawan
to Connecticut and return last Saturday
to pick out the best roads for Thaw.
District Attorney Conger learned the
number of the car and communicated with
Secretary of State May as to it's owner
sajp- 1t was found that the number was
that of three auto trucks. The officials
believe the number was taken from one
of the trucks and used on the pathfinder.
Howard Barnum the Matteawan guard
who opened the gate when Thaw made his
escape, had nothing to say when. notified
that Thaw had been captured. Barnum
will be given hearing Thursday on
charges of bribery, conspiracy and neg
lect of duty.

Law Very Plain

New York, August 19.-Before sailing
tonight for England, Sir Richard Nc
Bride, prime minister of British Column
bia, made the following statement rela-
tive to the status of Harry Thaw and the
Canadian government;
1.-THE law is very plain. An insane man
coming from foreign territory cannot re-
main on British soil. Therefore the Ca
madam authorities will have to turn Thaw
over to the United States authorities at
tho border. They may turn him over to
the authorities of any state touching the
border and this might as we'll be New
York as any other state.
Although l understand that Thaw did
not land on Canadian soil from New York
state, he will, of course, be deported from
Canada at any point the authorities se-
lect"
New York. August 19-The big black

who drove the car. They asked permis-
sion to place the car in the Rankin sta

MAY Be Extradited

Washington, August 19.-Harry ThaW
may be extradited from Canada on a
warrant charging bribery. but there is nc
provision in any of the Anglo American
treaties for extradition on a charge oil
conspiracy except as it relates to con-
spiracy to mutiny on the high seas. There
Is no provision for extradition on the
charge of fugitive from Justice.
The foregoing are the Views of state
department officials. In none of the
treaties is their cloture clause which
would permit the arrest of fugitive who
got across the border just ahead of his
captors.
Such a provision did exist in an OLD
treaty with Mexico once Immigration
authorities here believe Thaw could bt

States by the Canadian immigration au.
thorities as an insane man or an unde.
srab}e alien.
They have no definite information OF
the provisions of the Canadian law.
May be Asked Under Treaty
Extradition for bribery could be asked
Under provision of the treaty of 1906
which, however contains the qualifica.
ton that the bribery must be defined
to be the offering, giving or receiving OF
bribes made criminal by the laws OF
10th countries" That. officials point out
SooCiitioi
that any criminal act with which he
would be charged must also be a crim-
nal act with which he would be charged
must also be criminal one under the
Canadian code.
The succession of treaties between the
United States and Great Britain under
which extradition from Canada would op-
crate, makes provision for many crimes,
but curiously enough does not provide
for conspiracy in the general acceptance
of the term, because Great Britain de-
cIined to include even at the urgent rep
reservations of the United States. An
otter provision makes 1t necessary, in
the opinion OF officials, to present to the
extradition court evidence of the crime
on which extradition might be asked.
Any request for extradition would neces-
sarily come through the governor of New
York and that would confront the fed
eral government with the need of recog-
