BUILDING Inspector Hazen has called
the attention of the council to what he
considers is not in compliance with the
ordinance. 1t IS the location Of the
boiler room of the Harris theatre in
reference to the theatre proper. The
present ordinance, regulating the heat
ing Of theatres and places Of amuse-
ment, stipulates that the heating plan
shall be outside the theatre proper, but
in the case of the Harris theatre the
boilers are under the entrance to the
building and in case OF accident great
loss of life might result. The whole
matter is in the hands of the council

IN calling the attention Of the council
to this matter and If there is any danger

THAT EXTRADITION TREATY.

England has been trying for a number
of wears to get an extraditlon treaty
passed which would enable her to reach
political prisoners in the United States.
A few years ago treaty with this
proyiso in it came up, and was ABLY
championed by Senator EdmuDds. But
the late Senator Riddleberger Of Vir-
piuia Denounced the treaty as nefarious
and gotten up to imprison Irish Amer
cans in British dungeons. Ihat was
really the object of the treaty and old
Senator Edmunds did all he could to
mass the measure. but he was not sue
cessful. The treaty was thrown into
the waste basket where 1T has slept ever
since. A new treaty was drawn up a
short time ago by Secretary Blaine, en-
bracjng a large number of offences, but
the political prisoners clause was left
ont and the whole matter is now III the
hands of the United States senate. II
is said that number OF the senators
are opposed to It's passage because the
...political prisoners clausels not mem
toned in it, but their opposition VIII
not effect its passage as they are in the
minority. 1t is also rnmored that the
. British government does not favor the
treaty as it stands, and may not accept
1t if passed. What the British govern
ment wants is those Irishmen lmprison
ed who have opposed the government
in the past and using their influence in
America to defeat its wicked purposes.
