LAWYERS READY FOR LONG FIGHT IN THAW CASE Canada's immigration ACt To Be Fully
 Tested Jerome Has Long Conference With District Attorney C0nger
 Over Log Fire

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 26-The possibility. of a long drawn out legal fight over the constitutionality of Canada's drastic immigration act, un- der which it is proposed to .~deport Harry K. Thaw subsequent to his ar raignment in the superior court, to- morrow. was the favorite theme, to- day, of both factions gathered at Sher- brooke since Thaw's garrest near here after his escape from Matteawan.
 Going over the situation informally, William T. Jerome and District Attor- ney Conger, of Dutchess County, NY, sat late by roaring wood fire in the Magog House, the storm center. since Thaw's arrival, of nearly all confer ences about him.
 ''I can't express an opinion on every theoretical defense suggested by Thaw's 1awy said Jerome. s'We hope to get him back to Matteawan where he belongs but it does look like we were all in for a siege"
 Chief counsel for the New York forces, Samuel Jacobs, is in Montreal
 Thaw continued to show little in terest in anything except his publicity plans. He is mailing and telegraph Ing statements to papers in Vermont where, notwithstanding all the theor- ies of court delay here, he apparently
 
 sisted again, today, that in view o1 Jerome's presence here, he wanted his lawyers to reissue a. statement quot ing Jerome as saying in New York in 1908 that Thaw was sane.
 T. B. Williams, of the Dominion immigration department, was quoted today. as saying he placed no faith in Thaw'S chances of testing the i'm migration act in the courts.
 We still believe Harry ThAw will be deported," he said, t'andA we don't put much faith in this story that he can make an international affair of his case. Our duty is simple. We will give Thaw a hearing As soor as he=i is turned down by the minister of the interior, as have every reason to believe he will be, then we will take Tha:w to Vermont and turn him loose. That will settle our end of the affair. What happens in Vermont is none of our affair."
 'Gentleman Roger Thompson sent a message, last night, to his widowed mother in New York, telling her not to worry. His case, on a charge sof aiding a lunat1c to cross the border will come up before a police judge here, Friday.
 Thompson has not receded from his determination not to -'squeal'' and tel all about his driving Thaw from Mat. teawan in the black car. His threat last week, to tell all resulted in the immediate employment of counsel fol him by the Thaw family and in other ways Thompson has been made SC comfortable for the time being thai he prefers to say nothing.

Although they would not discuss the matter this morning, members of the Paving and Sewer Commission plainly were not pleased with the action of the mayor.
 When the mayor 'fbutted in'' on the paving work on Park avenue, three mem bers of the commission threaten ed to resign and then finding that such action would please the mayor they reconsidered the matter. The Connecticut Go. is not yet to do it's part of the work in Stratford avenue and it is likely that the Paving and Sewer Commission will take some ac- ton on the matter tomorrow.
