LYNCHEHAUN MAY
YET BE EXTRADITED
With Ruling in Famous
Case.

Washington. Nov. 4.-Thera are in
dications that the British government
is not to accept as final the action of
the Indiana eXtradition commissioner
who refused to hold for eXtradition the
Irishman Lynchehaun, charged with
murderous assault upon his laDdlady
in ireland. An inquiry into the pre-
cedent i'll such cases disclOSeS the fact
that the action of the Indiana commits
sioner does not prevent the bringing of
new extradition proceedings before any
other United States commissioner. or
even a United States judge.
1t is believed that the British au-
thorities regard the principle involved
in this Lynchehaun case as of the
greatest importance. and consequently
they are expected to prosecute it fur
ther.

NEED NOT PAY THE
POLICY OF SUICIDE
Federal Judge Renders Important
Decision in Life Insur-
ance Case.

Kansas City, Nov. AIN a decision
in the United States district court here
Judge John F. Phillips has held that
insurance companies may enforce the
anti-suicide clause where previously
entered into by the insured. The de-
cision was in the case of James Whit
field, a well-known sporting editor,
who killed himself. Whitfield was in
sured for $1,000, receiving a policy
that contained a clause specifying that
$500 only should be recovered in case
of suicide
Although the statutes of Missouri
declare that insurance companies may
not make suicide a defense in refus-
ing to pay policy, Judge Phillips
held that "as the pleading of the con-
tract in question voluntarily entered
into by the parties goes merely to the
question of the amount of the recov-
cry, and not to defeat a recovery, my
conviction is that the plaintiff is just
Iy entitled to recover the sum of $500"

rival of the Nashville at Colon, through
a cablegram from her captain, Com
mander Hubbard. The department.
found it necessary TO conceal it's
purpose in dispatching the Nash
vile from Kingston to the 18TH

was prevented from going to San Do
mingo because some of her machinery
was out of order. AS a matter of fact
the advices received from the United
States vice consul at Panama more
than a week ago determined the state
department to have some representa-
tive of the United States navy in 18TH

Panama situation for this, as the re-
