LOWER CALIFORNIA READY FOR REVOLT LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2L Lower California is about to burst into re volt against the Huerta central gov ernment, according to predictions of Mexican refugees arriving; here. They reported that the unrest was not con fined to territory along the Interna tional boundary. Conditions became so critical at Enscnada, the capital of the territory that the entire city council with its secretary was ousted this week. The action was taken by Chlefe Politico, recognized as a firm adherent to the Huerta government. Conditions In smaller interior towns were said to have been even more critical than at the capital. The arrivals confirmed plans of con stltutional revolutionists to open the campaign in the territory by taking Mexican, opposite Calexlco, Califor nia. This would be the signal, it was said, for uprisings at other points. IS INJURED IX A TRAIN WRECK LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.

Crowds of sightseers eager to get a glimpse of Thaw, began to arrive from long distances. They gazed at the Jail und watched the mysterious activities of the lawyers. The Thaw affair is booming the little frontier town and every hotel Is full as never before. Will Not Hurry Case. An Immigration inspector who re fused to allow the use of his name, said: "It seems to be the impression among American officials here that the Canadian immigration officers can be used to catch escaped crimi nals. They are overlooking the fact that we don't deport men merely be cause an American Judge and jury found them guilty. We use our own sense in handling each case. We are not going to hurry now. When the court proceedings are finished we will give Thaw every chance to show he Is a desirable immigrant." Thaw's lawyers are most dissatis fied over a postponement of the case. OTTAWA. Aug. 21. Assuming that Thaw escapes deportation, which is believed likely, authorities said that Xew York's only hope of extraditing him will be on the ground of bribing attaches of Matteawan, an extradit able offense This may have to be proved first In the New York courts and subsequently in Canada. Both actions practically involve a repetition of the battle of alienists which was a feature of the previous trials. SHERBROOKE. Aug. 21. Habeas corpus proceedings In the Thaw case have been postponed until 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Thaw's attor ney told the United Press their case already is won; that Thaw is assured of freedom and that the issuance of a warrant for his arrest under the Im migration law is but a defensive move to keep Thaw in Canada indefinitely.
