Justice Page took occasion to com ment, in his decision ,on the good faith displayed by the state of New Hampshire by placing Thaw on trial on the conspiracy charge. There had been no evidence, the court held, to warrant the charge that ThaW had been brought back simply to be sent again to Matteawan. Nor had there been adduced any adequate reason Hampshire after his trial and acquit- tai.
 Thaw was to go back to Matteawan, Justice Page decided, on the old com Tnitment of Justice Bowling, which had been introduced into the evidence at Thaws trial. In deciding, the court took cognizance of the possibil- ity that Thaw's counsel had already obtained a writ of habeas corpus though he had not been officially so advised in court-and provided for such a Contingency by making his re- turn conditional on there being no is stance of legal papers to the con trary.
 The next step in the litigation to keep Thaw out of Matteawan will be return Of the writ of habeas corpus. At that time, it isNbef1eved, an effort will be made to have the question as to Thaw's s sanity decided by a Jury. The application for the writ forecast this effort in the opinion of many, by asserting that Thaw was illegally de- taineds' in the Tombs prison.
 Failing to obtain ThaW'S release by this method, there is strong proba- biIity that the case of Thaw will be thrown into the federal courts again

PRESIDENT SILENT ON
 BRITISH DECLARATION

Washington. March 16-President Wilson declined to discuss the Brit fsh order in council shutting off trade with Germany with callers today, be- cause the United States has been as yet only informally advised of it's terms. but he indicated broadly that the unofficial outline of it's contents was very disp1easfng to the United States government
 Callers asked President Wilson if there was precedent in law or history for Great Britain's action The Pres ident began to reply, and then, evil dently reconsidering, said he would defer any expression until officially advised of the order and until after conferences with the State depart ment officials.
