NEW CHARGE AGAINST NEEL Y
RELATES TO POSTAGE STAMP CIRCUI.A-
TION-GOVERNOR RESERVES DECIs-
ION ON EXTRADITION.

The question OF Governor Roosevelt's right to
grant extraditOn papers in the OF Charles F.
W Nicely who is accused OF fraud in the Cuban
postal service, discussed before the Governor
al his home OYSTER Bay yesterday. 1t was stated
that additional charge was to be made against
Nicely in the matter Of $4,000 Of "surcharged'
Cuban postage stamps, which ordered de-
stroyed. but which It is alleged, put in cir
culation- The hearing private Besides the
Governor and his secretary United States District
Attorney Burnett. representing the Government
and Neely and John D. Lindsay. his counsel were
present
After short session the Governor came out OF
his library and made brief statement to the news
paper men. He said that before he would take final
action in the case he would confer with the At
torney-GenerAl on the question OF law raised by
the counsel to his authority grant the reuui-
sition papers This authority. the Governor said
1t was contended. vested by the Constitution
in the Government He said further that he would
probably confer with the Attorney on Sat
urday and would then make public statement re-
garding the case.
General Burnett and Mr.. Lindsay stated that
their lines Of argument the question of the
Governors Jurisdiction General Burnett held that
the Governor had power TO grant, and IL was his
duty to grant, papers of extraditon. He contended
that Cuba was practically a part Of the United
States, because under military control Mr..
Lindsay argued that Cuba. not being a part of the
United States. could not be considered as a State
and consequently the Governor OF the State OF
NewYork did not have power or Jurisdiction to
issue extradition papers. Both sides submitted
briefs.
Assistant United States District Attorney Bald
win says that if the Governor refuses a requsition
he thinks that under the Federal statutes Nicely can
be tried in this district
Special United States Attorney Edward K. Jones
confirmed yesterday the report that papers for an
additional case against Neely were on their way
here rom Washington. He said that he had not
received them Yet and that in consequence he was
not aware of their contents. The papers are said
70 deal with the misuse Of $500 900 of sIrcharged
Cupan postage stamps which ordered to be
destroyed, but were instead placed in circulation.
Mr. Jones said that he had obtained order
from Judge LacOmDe in the Neely case, that
ne could not divulge its interests
or the Government might be prejudiced thereby.
Ihe eAarnlna ton in the case against NeeIy where
IN he is charged with msapprOpriating s36 900 Of
cuban posta! funds which 10 have come be-
fore Commissioner Shields yesterday has been ad-
tion proceedings.
In the civil suit against Neely notice has been
served that Nicoll, Anable & Lindsay have been
retained by the defendant.
