Des Moines, May 30.-There is d
growing mystery as to why there has
been so much delay in connection with
the application for requisition for
Tom Dennison, of Omaha, on the part
of the Harrison county authorities
They waited long time before taking
the preliminary steps to get the ac-
cused man to bring him to Iowa, and
this without any real reason for the
wait. 1t is true that it was said that
DennisoE was i'll. but of this there was
apparently little evidence. The pre-
tense that they believed he was man
who would voluntarily surrender HIM
self to be tried for crime most SER
ious is now secuted. AS Governor
Cummins said: Nobody ought to
have thought for a minute that Denni
son would voluntarily come over into
Iowa for trial. He is evidently not If
that kind" Now there is more delay
in going over into Nebraska after the
man. The warrant was placed in the
hands of George M. Christian, United
States marshal. who is familiar with
such matters and he will take his time
to going after the man.
The fact that attorneys for Denni-
son raised the point that man can
not be extradited for one crime and be
tried for another created some sur
prise. Lawrence DeGraff. assistant
attorney general of Iowa, who has long
been teacher of law. said:
This sort of contention has no foun-
dation. There is popular notion
that one cannot be tried on any charge
save that for which he was extradited
This Is all wrong, The idea conies
from the rule in extradition from ons
nation to another, which is governed
by treaties. There is stipulated that
the person extradited must be tried
for the crime for which he was asked
and no other. But the United States
supreme court has held in recent de-
cision that this rule has no force what
ever as between states. The fact the
court has held that it Is not incumbent
on any court to inquire into how pos
session of the person on trial was OBJ
tanned. He may be enticed. or be Sc
cured by fraud. or be kidnapped across
the state line
In the Dennison extradition case
there Is belief here that Governor
Mickey will honor the requisition. but
that Dennison will at once go to the
courts for writ Of habeas corpus
and review the acts OF both governors.
If the state courts fail him he will
go to the federal courts. There is no
sort of notion that he will now yield
gracefully to the inevitable. The is
suance of the papers by both governors
does not necessarily end the case.
Assistant Adjutant General New
man. of the department Of Iowa, is
sending out this week the program for
the encampment at Mason City. June
10. The Central feature of the pro
gram is the splendid array of talelt
for the public camp fire. on the eve
ming of June s, In the theater, Com
mander L. B. Raymond, presiding.
There are to be addresses by General
G.. NJ. Dodge, Governor A. B. Cum
minis, Senator j. p. Dolliver, and Ell
Terrence, past commander In chief.
At the reception meeting, there is TO
be an address by General Josiah Civ
en-. and others by Congressman Lacey
and Congressman Cousins. There en-
campment is therefore to be an inter-
esting one. General Newman is also
sending out the general orders In re-
gard to the national encampment at
Boston, in which is said:
'"The greatest attraction of all is
Boston, for in it is the old North
Church and Bunker Hill monument
and near it are Plymouth Rock and
Concord and Lexington. Every mile
of the seashore and every acre of lani
was long since dedicated to liberty,
and made sacred by the sacrifices os
heroic men and women; and if no other
inducement were presented than Bos-
ton itself there ought to be great
attendance of the comrades"
AS to special attractions, the or
ders promise the following:
Excursions planned are for Ply
mouth Rock Concord and Lexington,
in the first of which fleet will bear
the comrades: in the others, 600 auto
will be at the service of the
and these things the
free offer of our hosts. The battle
squadron of the United States in east
ern waters will exhibit it's power and
show us what the successors OF the
men under Farragut and Porter and
Dupont and Cushing are able to do for
the protection of the land"
Another general order accompanying
the papers now going out to the posts
indorses the flag day idea. and reco-
mends that on June IA all patrioti,
citizens display the flag within and
upon their homes and places of busi-
ness and that there be appropriate
exercises in the schools.
shere are 523 soldiers buried in the
cemeteries of Des Moines. so that the
task of decorating the graves Is not
small one About twenty is being adj
ded to the list each year.
