ASKS FOR AMERICAN AID.
lyman Claims the Protection Of the United
StatcS-"No. H. IN u Tight Box.

WASHINGTON, Sept. is.-The state
department has been advised that
lyman, alleged TO be tho famous
mo II Of the Phoenix park tragedy,
now under arrest at l!oulogne, has
appealed To Ambassador Eustice,
claiming exemption from surrender
10 the British authorities by reason
Of his American citizenship. The
officials of the department decline to
say in advance what action would be
taken in such case, put the practice
in the past has been to avoid inter-
ference and permit the surrender.
%presuming that the proceedings are in
accordance with the usual legal code
OF the two countries.
American citizenship can not be set
up to prevent the cxtrndition of n per-
son arrested in one country for n
crime committed in another. AS far
as the United States is concerned, 1t
has none on record as having taken an
advanced position in this matter, al.
though some other nations claim hat
such persons cannot be surrendered
without consent OF the country OF
their citizenship.
In the case Of France the authori.
ties on e~xtradition show that she has
always asserted n similar right to sur
render fugitives of a third country
without seeking its consent, SO the
prospects for successful intervention
in behalf of lyman are small.

wardens and several of the guards be-
came drunk, held n kangaroo court
and sentenced the same negroes to he
whipped again, the sentence being

been decided upon as a result Of the

man Joe Frank of ~. Louis, and
Major Rittiuger Of the st. Joseph
Herald.
Another delegation of Missouri poll.
t~iclans, headed by Charles Parsons
and Tom Niedringhaus of ~. Louis,
called ut the national headquarters
yesterday and held a conference with
Chairman Hanna. Their appearance
had an interesting connection with
the remonstrance made over the IN
activity displayed by the Missouri
state committee, Messrs. Parsons
and Niedringhaus being friends Of
Filley. II was stated by members of
the Missouri committee that the pro-
posed Kansas City branch will be
under the control of National Com
mitteemcn Leland OF Kansas and Kcr-
ems of Missouri, and the campaign in
those two states will be directed from
there. Chairman Hanna, however,
denied this, saying that the Missouri
state committee was able to take care
of the campaign in that state.
While Mr.. Hanna denies that the
establishment of the branch office was
'orced by reason of dissatisfaction
ana H.. .,..l. - ,la A. a..
mittee, this expression is looked upon
as being in the line Of "A diplomatic
evasion Of the situation, while at the
same time possibly the situation in
Missouri would not of itself establish
II branch office at Kansas City. The
late development of the campaign in
Kansas has also suggested that a
branch Office ut Kansas City would
enable the committee to improve the
campaign in Kansas, as well as in
Missouri.
The claim is made that Mr.. Leland
can be Of SPECIAL aid to the Kansas
state committee and that he is pccul-
iarly fitted to meet the needs Of the
hour and is equal to any emergency
that may arise. The impression pre-.
walls that Sewali is likely to be
snatched off the ticket at any time
and Watson substituted on the Demo
cratic national ticket. Should this be
done IL would make fresh trouble in
Kansas and also in Missouri and this
is set forth rs IA contingency demand
ing that a sub-hcadquarters he located
at Kansas City.
The indications are that Mr.. Leland
will assume charge of 10 Kansas City
sub'headquarters by the last Of the

orous protest against the way

Major Bittinger denied that the State
committee had been too much en-
crossed in an endeavor to patch up

there had been general complaint

experienced In procuring either. As a

the campaign in Missouri will be
pushed vigorously from now on.
