o'clock a number of strikers on guard
at the Maltby Colliery saw two men
approaching lying guns. The pickets

Washington, September S.-Marion
Erwin, the special assistant to the at
torney general in the prosecution Of
Captain Obelin NJ. Carter and Messrs.
Greene and Gaynor, in the cases in
volving alleged big frauds in govern
ment engineering work in Savannah, to-
day discussed the status of that litiga-
ton. He had just returned from New
York, where he went in connection with
civil suits to recover half a million dol
lars of assets of the government. Re-
garding the Greene and Gaynor extra
dition matter, Mr.. Erwin said:
Judge Caron's decision in reversing
Judge Andrews judgment and i'm dis
charging the prisoners from custody
before we could have our hearing be-
fore the extradition commissioner, is
by 40 means regarded by the depart
ment of justice as ending our efforts to
accomplish the eXtradition. 1t is true
that we I've no appeal under the laws
of Canada from the decision of Judge
Caron in ~discharging the prisoners. IT
makes no difference how many Judges
may decided h a our proceedings Were
we'll founded, as Judge Andrews decid-
ed in his case, for if the prisoners can
find one Judge who will decide other
wise n free them, there is no appeal
from such a judgment, however, erro-
neouS.
This is not true under the United
States laws. In such a case, the foreign
government has a right to appeal to
the United States supreme court The
United States employed in Canada the
ablest counsel that could be obtained
there and the latter have no doubt of
the correctness of Judge Andrews de-
cision holding that eXtraditable offences
were charged.
while we have no appeal 1 will not
say that we are entirely without RENE
dy. Whatever remedies we nave will
first be applied in the proper way al
the proper time. Meantime the defen-
dants are practically compelled to keeI
close to their city of refuge. 1t is suffi
cient to say that the extradition pro
ceedings are not ended"

Govern defeated Dave Sullivan tonight
in the arena of the Southern Athletic
Club after fifteen rounds of AS desperate
fighting as was ever seen In any ring.
From the first tap of the gong until the
end it was slam bang, hammer and topgs,
nearly every second, both men working
away with all the energy they possessed.
There has seldom been seen a battle
where the issue was more in doubt. In
one round it would be Sullivan and in the
next McGovern. Then Sullivan would
come strong again and even things up
once more.

he was on the aggressive and Sullivan
was forced to do far more defensive work
than his opponent. He put up a wonder
full fight, however, and was game to t5c
core and lost the fight more through a.
blunder of his own than because he was
knocked out. When the finish came,
however, he was groggy and going fast.
The chances are that he would not have
lasted many more rounds, even had he
risen to his feet before Fitz called ten.

when Sullivan seemed about TO turn the
tide his way again, from that time on

getting the upper hand.
He fought ever forward and Sullivan was
gradually but surely going backward
Sullivan was badly punished. his left ear
being split open, his lips cracked. his
nose well pounded I'D and his right eye
partly closed. The latter happened early
in the fight and McGovern paid particular
attention TO ii throughout.
During the 18th anl ETH and I4th
rounds Sullivan was slowly going. Ne
