not expect such a stay probable. Chief
Desmond expected when he left last night
to return at the end of two weeks at the
latest.
Thomas B. Harvey. chief counsel for
Kratz. called at the Four Courts yesterday.
He said he was not surprised to hear OF
Kratz's arrest, but neither did he look
for it.
'I have not heard from Kratz since he
disappeared and had no idea where he was
in hiding. No one has spoken to me about
the case-that is none of his friends-and.
of course, 1 shall not have anything to do
with preventing the authorities from bring
ing him back. If he needs counsel to help
him down there he will have to employ To-
cal attorneys"
INDEMNITY NOTES
NOT IMPOUNDED.
Judge Ryan yesterday decided that he
would not impound the notes held by
Charles Gutke to secure Gottlieb Eyermann
for the forfeiture of Charles Kratz's bond
of $4,000. Circuit Attorney Folk wanted
them held by the court evidence against
Kratz to show that he intended flight as an
admission of, guilt.
The court held that bondsman had the
right to be secured from loss in the event
of his clients forfeiture and refused to
have them locked up in the Clerks Office.
The motion to quash in the case of julius
Lehman was overruled by Judge Ryan.
and the case will be tried in its regular
order.
The case Of Harry Faulkner. who is
charged with perjury. was on the docket in

Walter Hetzel, who was at one time con.

who was in San Antonio on Saturday, said
that the arrest had taken place on Thurs

well. he is a prisoner down there now
and we are going to get him. that's ALL
Chief Desmond was equally positive he
would get the prisoner.
IF he is not delivered to you. what will
you do?" he was asked by a reporter. "Will
you kidnap him?"
The Chiefs reply was that he would not
return to ST. Louis until~he had the pris-
oner.
Kratz fled from ST Louis on April 4. just
four days before his case was called in
Judge Ryan's court His bond was de-
clared forfeited. and proceedings to collect
it are now under way. Kratz is charged
with accepting bribe of $4,000 to use his
influence in the City Council in the passage
of a franchise bill for the Suburban Rail-
road. John X. Murrell, a member of the
House of Delegates, who was indicted for
a similar offense. skipped out while his trial
was pending. and Kratz's bond was in
creased from 5000 to $4,000.
MAY HOLD KRATx
EIGHT DAYS.
Circuit Attorney Folk employed detectives
to trace both men, and thousands of circu-
lars bearing their pictures were sent broad
cast. AT midnight Saturday the news was
received from Chief of Police Jose de ia
Anaya of Guadalajara stating that Kratz
had been arrested there. kilograms from
the Chief indicate that he will do all he can
to assist the local authorities. At present
a charge of violating police regulations" is
placed against Kratz. This charge is equal
to the "holdover' law, which gives local
police the right to hold a prisoner twenty
hours without bail. But in Mexico they
hold the prisoners eight days.
Desmond and McGrath will arrive at
Guadalajara nearly thirty-sx hours before
the eight days are up. This will give them
plenty of time to prefer new charge and
make srch arrangements as are necessary.
The officers made preparations to be gone

The Republic Bureau,


14th ST. and Pennsylvania Ave
Washington, April 8.-As indicated in
these dispatches Sunday night, the State
Department to-day declined to ask for the
extradition of Charles Kratz. the fugitive
st. Louis City Councilman, who was Indict-
ed for accepting a bribe and then fled to
Mexico where he has been apprehen6ed.
This ends the matter so far rs the Wash
ington authorities are concerned. No fur
ther action will be taken by thesState or
other Federal departments. This declina-
tion is final. 1t is based on the fact that
bribery Is not an eXtraditable offense under
the provisions of the treaty with Mexico.
and, further, because statute of Mexico
expressly prohibits extradition in such
case.
The Mexican statute referred to was enact
ed May 10, 1887, and prescribes that mo eX-
tradition shall take place without the au-
thority of treaty, unless the Government
demanding it shall promise strict reciproc-
ity and full compliance with other require
ments contained in this law"
By an unbroken line of decisions OF re-
cent years, the State Department has held
that 1.-The United States Government has
no authority, either by treaty or under ex-
listing laws, to grant such reciprocity" Its
uniform practice has been to refuse extra
dition of fugitives arrested in the United
States for offenses not included in the
treaty with the Government requesting It,
and because of this practice it has in turn
declined uniformly to ask for extradition in
corresponding cases.

In the September Bulletin issued by
the State agricultural department are
published letters from farmers all over
Maine treating wholly of stock rails
ing. Kennebec county farmers have
written as follows:
F. II. Axtell. Oakland-I have been
raising the dairy type of cattle for
years. The Jerseys are my favorite
breed. raise what pigs l need to
consume the skim milk. 1 am growing
the Ohio Improved Chester at present.
Have them come from July to Septem-
Der. feed sugar beets and turnips with
milk through the winter. turn them to
pasture in the spring. feed skim-milk
with a little bran until about the fiFst
of August, then feed middlings and
corn meal and begin to market them
by the first of September.
In regard to my dairy herd. raise
all my cows. keeping my best heifer
calves and letting them come in when
two wears old. Use a Babcock milk
tester and all that do not come up to
the standard are disposed of. i send
niv cream to the Turner Center Dairy
ing Association at Auburn. The cream
is raised by the Cooley system. The
average test Of butter fat for the past
three years was nearly y per cent.
For feed / grow corn and mixed grain
oats. barley and peas. / husk the corn
and grind it with the grain. two bags OF
ears of corn and one of grain. reed
three quarts OF the mixture and two oil
cotton seed meal: feed all the corn fod-
der. also most of the straw; have no
silo.
Otis Meader, Albion-My stock Is OF
the dairy type, being entirely Jerseys
which think are the best adapted to
the business of butter making. when
quality and profit are considered. The
alI-round business horse has been
kept almost wholly. though the gentle
mems driving horse has been handled
with success to some extent, and a
pair of heavy draft horses for the last
s;x wears have seemed to be necessary
and profitable. The most clean money
has been realized with the driving horse.
ohio Chester swine seem to fill the
bill for heavy weight at an early age
better than any we have tried. Corn
meal and skim-milk make most de-
sirable feed and all things considered
are in my estimation the most econom-
cal feed for making pork. II snort Oh
sxim-milk, wheat bran should be USED
in connection with the meal.
John Reynolds. Clinton-ln regard
to the best breeds of cattle for Maine.
probably the Jersey and the Ayrshire
are best suited to our rough. rocky
hillside farms. while the heavier
breeds. like the Durham and Holstein.
are better suited to the low or inter-
vale lands. We had high hopes OF
bountiful apple crop at blossomlns
time. but a long cold rain set In. which
doubtless spoiled them. Which way
do you consider the best, to spread
