TO HEAD OFF BABCOCK
WOULD HAVE FIGHT IN OPEN
HOUSE.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, d. c.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 6-Mem-
bers Of the ways and means committee
believe they have got Babcock and his
bill to reduce steel duties seWed up. For
the last three days they have been MAX
ing a quiet but determined campaign 10
head off Babcock, who planned to offer
his bill as an amendment to the war
tax repeal. The speaker and committee
which will require a vote on the war
tax repeal bill without any amendment.
Babcoek and his friends have been trying
fight in the open house, believing that
plan to reduce excessive duties on pro-
ducts Of the steel trust would COM
mand strong support. The position of
Tawney in this fight is causing comment
by friends Of the Babcock bill While
Tawney voted in the committee to report
the Babcock bill favorably, it is charged
that he has been more active than most
anyone else in working for a rule which
would prevent its being considered in
the house. They therefore charge TaW-
ney with trying to carry water on both
shoulders. They lilzen him to a man who
is very eager to fight, but Is glad some
one is holding him. They say he wants
to square himself with his constituents
but IS keeping solid with the house lead
ers by working for a special rule to tie
up Babcock. AS the case now stands it
looks as if the speaker and his lieuten-
ants would be able to whip enough vot-
ers into line to head off Babcock and
get the bill to vote under the muzzle
rule.

RULES MAYER GUILTY
COMMISSIONER ABBOTT HOLDS EVI-
DENCE SUFFICIENT FOR
EXTRADITION
AN APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN
Attorney LaUIer Makes Strong Ar
'gument for Defendant-Case
May Go to the Supreme
Court

Attorney Lawler made an eloquent and
forcible appeal in behalf Of his client,
Francis S. Mayer, who is wanted by the
Japan government on the charge of for
gerry He quoted at length from a num-
Der of authorities, and he brought what
apparently seemed to be the strongest
KIND OF arguments to bear on the case
and asked for the dismissal Of his client
on the ground that the complaint in no
part states any offense under the laws
of Minnesota, and the evidence does not
show probable cause, neither does it show
that forgery was committed.
He also contended that the most ma
terial fact in the whole case was omitted
when the forged documents had not been
submitted to the court in evidence. He
also contended that the complaint which
was sent over from Japan was not prop
erly authenticated by afidavits which,
under the law, was necessary. He claim
ed that the dispositions presented by the
government OF Japan were not complete
and under these circumstances the court
should rule that they had not made good
their case.
United States District Attorney Purdy
closed for the prosecution, and touched
On nearly all the points mentioned by the
attorney for the defendant, and contended
that the manner of procedure in Japan
had nothing whatever to do with the
methods that were in vogue in this Q n
try, and consequently were in striCE ac-
cOrdance with all the provisions of the
treaty, which point was disputed by At
torney Lawler.
After the arguments were finished Com
missioner Abbott gave his decision as
follows: '.After a full and fair eXamina-
ton of the facts in the case, find that
the evidence produced against the ac-
cused is sufficient in law to establish the
fact that the offenses, as charged in the
complaint, were committed; that the said
offenses so charged are extraditable Of
fenses; that there is probable cause to
believe the accused guilty as charged ana
to justify his commitment for the crime
of forgery for the purpose of being de-
livered up according to the extradition
treaty between the empire Of Japan and
the United States of America.
"a copy Of the proceedings will be sent
to the secretary of state that a warrant
may be issued as provided by the law
and stipulation of said treaty. Mean
while the accused stands committed to
the custody of the United States marshal
to be held in the Jail of Hennepn coun-
ty."
Attorney LaWler took an exception to
the decision and gave notice that an ap-
peal would be taken on Eabeas corpus
proceedings before Judge .Lochren, of the
| United States district court, as soon as
the necessary papers could be prepared.
If the attorneys for the defendant fail
to secure a dismissal III the United States
district court, the matter will in all
probability be taken up before the su-
preme court.

DEATH THE PENALTY
FOR ANYONE WHO KILLS THE
PRESIDENT OR VICE
PRESIDENT
WHILE ENGAGED IN DUTIES
General Sentiment That Such LegI$-
Iati0n Would Trespass on
the Rights OF
States.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
WASHINGTON. ID. G


WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 6-The
lawyers in the house judiciary committee
have drawn up a bill naming the death
penalty for anyone who knowingly and
willfully kills the president or vice pres
ident. But it is prescribed that the kill
ing must be done while such official is
engaged in the performance Of his official
duties, or the killing must be because
OF his official character, or because Of
his official acts or omissions. These. pro-
Yisos are put into the bill in order to
give jurisdiction to the federal courts.
The killing must be differentiated from
an ordinary murder. Otherwise the states
have exclusive jurisdiction.
1t is not at all certain that this bill
framed by the Republican members of
the committee, will have any support
among the Democrats. There is a gener-
al sentiment among members of the mi
nority that such legislation would be
an unWarrantable trespass on the rights
OF the state. They say it would open the
door to an exercise of the federal power
