PROMOTER WRIGHT,S APPEAL.
His Counsel Argues That He Cannot BE
Extradite ed for the offence Charged.

Extradited for the offence Charged.
WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE appeal Of
Whitaker Wright. the London promoter
and capitalist. from the denial by Judge
Lacombe OF the United States Court for the
Southern district OF New York OF his writ
Of habeas corpus to secure his release from
custody under extradition proceedings. was
filed in the Supreme Court Of the United
States to-day. Wright was arrested on
his arrival at New York on an affidavit
by the British Consul at that port that he had
made false statements OF the accounts Of
the London and Globe Finance Corporation,
of which he was q director, and which re-
Gently collapsed.
The ground for the appeal is the construc-
ton Of that portion OF the treaty between
which 1t In sought to extradite Wright. His
counsel contends that the treaty contains
no provision for extraditing for the offence
with which he is charged and that he cannot
be extradited under the general clause
covering acts made criminal by the law
Of both countries because there Is no
Federal law against such crime.
There Is such a law in the State OF New
York, where he was arrested but counsel
asserts that Wright cannot be extradited
under that law, because 1t Is State law and
not law Of the country, as the treaty pro-
vides Counsel also calls attention to the
denial of bail to Wright. who Is still In Lud-
low Street Jail and that the Attorney-0eneral
and Solictor-Generi Of England had said in
the House of Commons that as a result Of
their investigations they had come TO the
conclusion that Wright had committed no
crime.

material The ship will be fitted with four
propellers. one at the end OF each cone and
two on top Of the cylinder.
The position Of the end propellere, II Ia
asserted, will be such that they will furnish
much greater power in driving the ship
forward and backward than II they were
placed like those Of most airshipe on the
sides or on a suspended car below, because
the force is applied on a direct centre.
The propellers on the top Of the ship are
a new contrivance. By them the ship Is to
be elevated or depressed at will without
the letting out Of any gas and without the
necessity of throwing Of weights. The
inventor says that he will move the machine
up or down with the greatest ease.
A rudder placed under each cone and
operated from a little pilot house in front
will guide the ship to the right or the left,
and a row Of big planes or horizontal rud,
ders along the sides, which may be stretched
out like the wings Of bird, will, it is said,
let the machine do fine soaring stunt and
yet keep in horizontal position when 1t is
being elevated to clear a mountain or any
other obstruction. That will eliminate
entirely the inconvenience OF slipping down
into the apex of a cone every time the
machine shoots upward or downward.
The inventor goes so far as to say that he
will fly from the Golden Gate to St. Louis
just as a warming up process for the trials

the reversal OF a non-suit for libel. In
the former case the merits OF the absent

Supreme Court, which. after referring at
length to the different schools Of medicine,
