WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-The War Depart

Circuit Attorney Folk Of st. Louis DIS
cusses 1t After Seeing the President.
WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-Joseph W. Folk.
the St. Louis circuit Attorney who prose-
cuted the cases against the boodling mem
bers Of the Missouri State Legislature and
Of the st. Louis City Council, was President
Roosevelts guest at luncheon to-day.
1t is expected that the President In his
coming message will make strong recon-
mendation to Congress that bribery ana
boodling be added to the list Of extraditable
offences named in extradition treaties with
foreign countries. The pending cases OF
Greene and Gaynor of New York, who are
fugitives from Justice in Canada, and OF
the Missouri bribers and grafters, have
directed serious attention to this matter
Mr.. Folk, in discussing the question to-oay'
said:
IAN offences are political In a way, IN
the sense that they are crimes against the
Government through the breaking OF IioV-
eminent laws. The question OF politics
should not be brought into cases OF boodhnS
or bribery. boodler is not Democrat
nor is he Republican-7he Is a CRIMINAL
That il the only way to look at It.
IF you look over the history OF negotla,
tions Of extradition treaties you will ma
that new crimes have been made extradlt-
able merely as necessity demanded the
change. For long time murder and
larceny were the only extraditable offences
included in United States treaties. Then
the increase in the number OF bank cashiers
populations and flight Of the embezzers
to Canada and Mexico led to embezzlement
being included in the treaties. until now
there is no haven for this class Of criminals.
-The epidemic of boodling and bribery,
unearthed in the last year at st. Louis ana
the subsequent exposures in connection
with the Post Office Department investiga.
ton have brought to light moro cases OF
this character than in fifty years before
The demand for more effective extraditton
treaties cannot be questioned.

The attempt to settle the fight Of the
journeymen Stonecutters' Union against
the new unions formed by the Building
Employers Association proved an absolute
failure yesterday. The union has decided
to stand by Sam Parks and the old Board OF
Building Trades and not to work with the
new unions.
The board Of governors OF the Building
Employers Association, which has gone on
record as saying that a general shutdown
OF all stone work will be ordered II the tight
is not called OF by the union, will meet to-
day to take action. The delegates Of the
union say they will take a contractor at a
time and keep up the fight until all the
members of the new unions are discharged:
Charles A. Cowen, the contractor selected
just now for attack, said yesterday that
there is nothing for 1t but to shut down
stone work In the meantime. That was
the intention Of the employers
Would that not be q violation Of the
arbitration agreement" he was asked.
Not at all replied Mr., Cowen. The
Master Stonecutters are not In the en-
ployers' association, and the union has
not signed the agreement. Besides, 1t
would be some time before the shutdown
Of stone work would have any effect on
the other trades. The union certainly in
tends to keep up the fight, and their em-
ployers will not interfere. 1t is now up 10
the board Of govern ors.'
There was report yesterday that the
Building Employers Association had been
discussing the question Of GOVERN g up
their unfinished buildings for the winter
and taking recess 81 three mon'h'.
Charles L. Eidlitz, president Of the m
ployes' association, said that the report
was without foundation. He was asked
II tho board Of governors will order the
shutdown Of stone work to-day.
Il cannot undertake to predict before
hand what the board will do, he replied.
Donald Call, walking. delegate Of the
Journe, MN Store cutters Union, said the
employers association had no right TO
a. k the stonecutters to recognize the new
unions it had formed.
What have we to do with them?' he
said. @Our employers are not in tho en-
ployers' association, and therefore we
won't recognize any irregular unions at
