DEVELOPMENTS IN
 SAFE ROBBERS CASE
Dunean's Wife, Who Came to the City, Told to Leave by Chief Austin-She
 Consulted n Lawyer.

The most important development in the safe robbers case yesterday was the re- ported capture, in Nashville, of New York Harry.'' one of the ring leaders of the gang who is believed to have been in Bir- the Standard Oil company was robbed A special to the Age-Herald from that city, which appears in another column, gives the details of the arrest.
 Chief Austin was confident yesterday that the two ring leaders would be captur- ed, and while nothing concerning the Nashville arrest was given out at police headquarters, it is probable that steps will be taken to bring the man here.
 Yesterday morning Mrs. Myrtle Duncan, wife Of Frank Duncan, one of the gang who is charged with shooting Officer Kirk ley, turned up in the city and applied at the sheriff s office for permission to see her husband, which was promptly refused. She made numerous efforts to communi- cate with the man, but was unsuccess- ful.
 She then went to the HIillman hospital and asked to see Officer Adams and when told that -she could not see him, asked for his mother to whom she pleaded for mercy. She was requested to leave the hospital, but continued to worry the au- tbCrities who reported the matter to the police who ordered her to leave the place. Late in the afternoon the woman appeared at the office of Chief Austin and was told that she had better leave the city.
 It was reported later that she was closet- ed with lawyer at her room at a down. town hotel
 Hhe police authorities believe the woman Is an active member of the gang and will watch her closely.
 The grand jury is Investigating the case against the men, and will probably return indictments against Duncan and Hendricks today. IA xi

THE EXTRADITION
 TREATY A SUCCESS
Arrangement With Mexico is
 Working Satisfactorily
SURRENDER OF PRISONERS
The Doubts That Were at First Enter tained as to the Serious Abuses Which Might Follow Heve
 Been Dispelled

Washington, April S.-That section of the extradition treaty between the United States and Mexico which permits each of the governments party to the treaty to surrender its own citizens charged with crimes committed in the territory of the other is working satisfactorily according 10 reports to the state depart tment.
 Doubts were entertained at first that serious abuses. might result from the new practice, and very recently the Texas peo- ole were disposed to complain because the government of Mexico refused to honor their application for the surrender of the Mexican, Gonzales, charged With having committed murder in Texas. AS matter of fact, the officials here were inclined to believe tssat the Texans had failed to make out a prlrna facie case. However, the ill-feeling on that score seems ito have diminished, as is evidenced by the follow ing letter received by Solicitor Penlield of the state department, who has to do with these extnadition matters from R. w. Dow, sheriff of Maverick county, Texas:
 'I beg to say to you that the eXtradi- tion of Antonio Torres, the Mexican citi zen charged with murder in Uvalde county, Texas, was granted by the government of Mexico on the 24th It is believed by law abiding people along the Texas-Mexican border that this case coupled with the de- livery of Mrs. Rich by this government to the Mexican authorities at Fl Paso, Tex, will do more for the protection of life and property along the Texas-Mexican frontier than could in any other way be accom- plished.
 ''It is believed that the Mexican govern 1nent will carry out in good faith the precedent set up by our governent in the Rich case and believing as I do that your decision in that case has been of great benefit in this section of the country. I feel it my duty to make this report to your department"

passed upon by the Nebraksa Democrats
in convention and approved by the Hon.
William j. Bryan, who, it ds believed,
will be the nominee of the Democratic
marty fer the Presidency. It is given out
that Mr.. Bryan did not write the platform.
but that he inspired it and that before it
was read to the convention he had ap-
proved it throughout
+ 1t is also given out that the platform
adopted by the Popuilst convention, In ses-
sion simultaneously in the city of Lin
coin. is substantially the same as that
adopted by the Democrats; that while
differing somewhat in form. it conflicts
with the Democratic platform in no es-
sential point

by the National Democratic CONVENTION,
which meets in Kansas City in July. and
that that platform differs in no essenuai

of the same kind. There is 10 such thing
as genuine Democracy in Nebraska or in
