MRS. DYE CANNOT BE TRIED IN
IOWA FOR ALLEGED MURDER
OF MISS NELSON.
SHE CANNOT BE ExTRADITED
NO CHANCE OF HER BEING TAKEN
TO SOUTH DAKOTA TO FACE
MURDER CHARGE.

Des Moines, a., March 9.-Mrs.
Sherman Dye of Boone, a., accused Of
sending poisoned candy to Miss Rena
Nelson at Pierre, S. D., after eating
which the latter died, cannot be ex-
tradited for trial in South Dakota.
Neither can she be tried in Iowa.
This was the text of the decision
handed down by Governor Cummins
Tuesday after consultation with At
torney General Mullan.
Governor Cummins will send a spe-
cial message to the legislature recon-
mending that the statute be amended
so as to provide for extradition in
similar cases in future. In submitting
the opinion he said:
"The ruling am compelled to make
upon this application exhibits grave
defect in the law.
under the federal statute as con-
strued by very recent decision of the
supreme court of the United States
and by an older case in our own SUI
preme court have no authority what
ever to extradite Mrs. Dye.
1.-THE holdings in these opinions are
clear and explicit to the effect that to
warrant extradition, the person &C.
cused must have been personally in
the state where the crime was COM
mitted and fled therefrom after the
commission of the crime.
Mrs. Dye was not in South Dakota
and therefore could not have fled from
that state.
II regret this conclusion, because if
Mrs. Dye is guilty of murder she must
be tried for that offense in South Da-
kota or not at all, unless the statute
be changed.
II have submitted the matter to the
attorney general and this ruling is
made under his advice

Sea Around the Russian Fortress Ex-
tremeIy Rough.
Paris, March 9.-The Matin pub
fishes dispatch from Hardin, Man
churia, in which the correspondent
says the weather is still stormy at
Port Arthur and the sea extremely
rough.
He describes the attitude of the Chi
nese population of Hardin as uncer-
tain, and says that at one time the
authorities, on the pretext of neutral
ity, forbade the sale of food and for
age to Russians.
1t is rumored that 200 Japanese en-
tered Shanhaikwan disguised as Chi
nese soldiers and the Japanese are
distributing gratis in China maps up
on which Port Arthur is represented
as destroyed and occupied by them.
These maps bear inscriptions saying:
Here are concentrated 5000 Japa-
nese." and in another place: "Here
are $4,000 Japanese"
It is reported from Liaoyang, the
Hardin correspondent continues, that
a small house near the railway sta
ton there is being prepared for the
occupation of General Kuropatkin.
The railway department has ordered
advances of three months pay to
numerous employees who otherwise
would not be able to feed their wives
and children.
The price of food stuffs have been
increased extravagantly and the popu-
lation is begging that scale of prices
be fixed officially.
1t is reported from Shanghai that
Viceroy Alexieff is preparing to re-
move his headquarters to Hardin after
having in vain ordered the Tartar gen.
eral general to dismiss the Chinese
garrison at Mukden.

MARQUIS ITO GOING TO KOREA
Distinguished Statesman Will Investi-
gate Conditions There.


Toxic, March 9-The forthcoming
visit of Marquis Ito as a special am
bassador from the emperor of Japan
to the emperor of Korea claims gen.
eral attention. It was originally
planned to send prominent Japanese
to Seoul as permanent resident ad-
wiser to the Korean government, and
various names were suggested. The
announcement that Marquis Ito is 60
ing is surprise. In official circles it
is insisted that the object of Marquis
1to's visit to Korea is not politically
important.
It is denied that Japanese have any
new plan to execute. It is thought,
however, that Marquis Ito will make
an investigation on the general condi-
lions in Korea and formulate possibly
some recommendations that will be
useful in the adoption of policy for
the future.
