TO BRING WAINWRIGHT BACK
France Will Be Asked to Make
Bribery an Extraditable Offense.
Amhassador Porter Instracted ca be-
Gim Negotiations For Additional
Clause Ia EAtrnditioM Treaty.

ST. Louis. Oct. 27.-A cablegram from,
Paris Monday gave the first informa-
ton from France that the French gov
eminent Is at work on a revision of
It's treaty with the United States which
may open way for the extradition of
Ellis Wainwright. indicted by the st.
Louis grand jury on a bribery charge
The present treaty with France. like
the one formerly in force between the
United States and Mexico, does not
include bribery as an extraditable Of
Tense. Relying upon this fact. Vain
wright has been living in Paris since
the beginning Of the Doodle invcstiga-
tions.
Recently Secretary OF State Hay has
instructed Ambassador Porter. at the
French capital to begin negotiations
for an additional clause in the extradi-
ton treaty between the two countries
by which bribery may be made an ex-
traditable offense-
Information from Paris Monday
states that Ambassador Porter has be-
gun this work and that his first in
formal conferences with the French
authorities have been held.
The French officials have Indicated
decided willingness to make the add
tion TO the treaty and are giving as
sistance in fastening the progress to-
ward the formal draft of the new doc
urlent.
Doubt is expressed whether the
French authorities will consent to
making the new provision retroactive,
SO that offenders whose crimes were
committed prior 10 the adoption Of the
treaty may be reached.
The instructions from the state de-
partment are said to he very explicit
in urging a retroactive clause. and
every effort TO make the new treaty ef-
fective against Wainwright and others
who have sought France as an asylum
will be made.

The bugle Is sounding, clear and keen;
They are bringing flags of tattered
weaves:
There are flowers tucked in the empty
sleeves.
Buyers and sellers. for one short hour,
Are busily throwing a wreath or a flower,
And the sun shines down on the silvered
hair
OF these Great Hearts marching through
Vanity Fair.
Up from the streets the war songs come
The word of and the tap of the
drum:
But some are grudged OF the revelry:
Death had not pleased that they should
see.
And on the street a great hush dwells,
For the people have mind of these last
farewells,

seen,
Down by the arches of white and green.
