OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Governors Mount and BeCkham
Quarrel Over acquisitions. /.
BECKHAM's AUTHORITY IGNORED

1he Indinaa Executive Had FfrstAp-
piled to Republican Governor ray-
Tor, Who Was Unable to Extraaste
the Prisoner-Beckham Retaiiated.
Frankfort. KY, April 4.-Telegrams
more significant than the bare wording
Of them might indicate passed between
Democratic Governor Beckham, of this
state, and Governor Mount, of Indiana,
yesterday. Governor Mount made
requisition on Governor Beckham for
warrant Of arrest against Rudolph
Gossman, convict, whose term In tho
penitentiary will end today and who
Is wanted for trial on a criminal
charge at New Albany, Ind. The In
diana officials recently applied to the
democratic officials at the penitenti-
airy with requisition from Governor
Mount recognizing Taylor as governor,
and they refused to honor the reuuIsf-
tton- Yesterday when the reQuisition
was made on Governor Beckham he
sent the following telegram to In
diana's governor:
a reQuisition from you for the ar
rest OF one Gossman, wanted in FLOYD
county, Ind, has been presented to me.
viii gladly honor ii IL you will first
assure me that any requisition issued
by me as governor upon you will be
also honored. This understanding is
desired because OF certain expressions
attributed to you in the press"
Governor Mount answered as fol-
lows:
Replying to your telegram of Sd
Inst, 1 cannot enter into any compact
or agreement that shall become bind
L.
departure from executive practice and
the law. l must reserve the right to
determine each reQuisition on SIS
merits"
Governor Beckham made the follow
ing statement:
The effort in this reply to create
the impression that 1 seek to make a
compact on the subject of requisitions
with Governor Mount is ridiculous. or
course every one understands that a
QUESTION must be considered on its
merits by governor. My object was
to discover whether Governor Mount
now recognizes Taylor or myself as
governor OF Kentucky. II he recog-
nizes me as such then his reuuisitions
to me will be considered. II he recog-
nizes Taylor as governor then he
should send his acquisitions to him"
Governor Beckham was today shown
q published statement given out by
Governor Mount, In which the In
diana governor declares Taylor the
iegaI governor OF Kentucky. In this
statement Governor Mount says:
The time will never come, certainly
not under the present administration.
when Indiana will be an asylum for
criminals. but II would be unchristain
and inhumar to permit maddened par
tisans or another commonwealth to
drag away citizens, even though only
temporarily abiding here, to a place
or persecution-where. self confessed
ly, law is the travesty and justice is
a mockery."
Beckham refused to discuss the
statement.
