municates to the British government
statements of officials of our depart
ment of justice, alleging that the
Canadian authorities are pursuing an
extraordinary and unWarranted course
in the case
The delays and embarrassments in
the extradition proceedings resulted in
Marion Erwin, special assistant to the
attorney general, who has been in
active charge of the extradition pro-
ceedings for the United States, trans
hitting to the attorney general, under
date of Montreal, July Z, d special re-
port on the case, in which he calls at
tentiOn 10 the fact that the legal rep
resentatives of Messrs. Greene and
Gaynor are closely connected, through
professional and family ties, with the
Canadian officials to whom this gov
eminent must look for extradition Of
the men whose custody it seeks.

IF this state of affairs is, then, to

PLAYING HAVOC IN NEBRASKA.
Reports State That Losses in State
Will Reach a Million

Omaha. Neb., July 9.-The rain that
began falling last evening continued
up to noon today. Reports received to-
day show the conditions in the flooded
districts to be worse than at first re-
ported. Morning trains were from one
to five hours late into the city and
some of them had been abandoned en-
tirely.
At Superior. Neb., the Burlington
railroad had 1000 feet of track washed
bodily into the Republican river, and
the Santa Fe was blocked last night by
q foot of water running over the road
bed for a mile west of the town.
At Blair, a quarter of a mile of the
Northwestern track was washed out
and the town of Norman is still a
lake. At Kennard. 800 feet of track of
the same road was carried away, and
the filled approach at the Missouri
river bridge east of town began to
slide away.
A conservative estimate places the
losses from floods in Nebraska at over
$1.O00.0oG. and some estimates are
twice that amount.
