Governor Cunn1ins Tells Why He Re-

Chicago, Dec. pa dispatch to the
r Record-Herald from Des Moines, Ia,
says: Governor Cummins Monday
refused the application of New Jersey
authorities for the extradition of
Fred Shivers, charged at Columbia
with wife desertion. The governor
considers the New Jersey law invalid
because of the omission of a comma
and the insertion of a conjunction.
The New Jersey law on wife deser-
tion provides for the punishment of
men who 'desert their wives and leave
the state" Governor Cummins points
out that leaving the state must be a
part of the crime, therefore the crime
could not be committed till the Of
fender had left the state and, having
left the state before the crime was
committed. he cannot be extradited

left the visitors out Of sight. The
judges, Hon. T. S. Buckham of Fari-
bault, Supt. f. E. Uline of Mankato
and Hon. \. L. Rule, gave unanimous
decision in favor of Austin and the
audience went wild with joy. Sub
seuuently the visiting team was enter
taiued by the high school pupils in the
assembly room in a very nice way.

afford to be defeated by team of such
