PAPERS ARE AMENDED.
Extradition of DR.. Chadwick to of,Is
Will Be Granted.

Albany. N. T., Dec. 9.-Contrary to
his expectations Sheriff Barry Of
Cleveland did not carry with him on
his return to New York during the
day warrant for the extradition Of
DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick, but he will
undoubtedly receive the papers in New
York later.
The sheriff came to the executive
chamber during the morning with his
counsel, Judge John T. McDonough.
The requisition of Governor Herrick of
Ohio was presented to Pardon and Re-
QUESTION Clerk Joyce, who, after
short examination pronounced it suffi-
clent His examination was confined
to the affidavit of the district attorney
of Cuyahoga county certifying the au-
thenticity of that part of the grand
jury minutes that contains the testi-e
mony of Iri Reynolds to the effect that
DR.. Chadwick was in Cleveland on
March 5, 1903, when the forgery
charged against him is alleged to have
been committed. 1t was the lack of
this proof that caused Clerk Joyce to
refuse the extradition warrant when
Sheriff Barry made his first call last
Monday.
Clerk Joyce said that he wished to
communicate with Governor OdeH be-
fore issuing the warrant He prom
ised to do SO at once and to send the
papers to the sheriff at New York po.
lice headquarters as soon as the gov
ernor had given his formal consent.
The sheriff and his attorney accepted
this decision without argument.

OREGON LAND FRAUD CASES.
Federal Grand Jury Returns Seven
More Indictments.

- VI. ;
Portland, Ore, Dec. 29.-The federal
grand jury during the day returned
seven indictments in connection with
the land fraud cases. The prominence
of three of the number with the two
mysterious John Doe" indictments
makes the day the most sensational
since the jury reconvened in its pres
ent session.
OF most Importance is the indict-
ment against DR.. William II. Davis,
mayor of Albany, Ore. Second to this,
and OF hardly less Importance, are
those of Solomon B. Ormsby, formerly
government agent, and Clark E.
Loomis, at one time forest superin-
tendent. Henry NJ Young and George
Sorenson are not SO we'll known.
The Indictment states there are two
others, John Doe and Richard Roe, i'm
plicated, whose names the jury does
not know.

principles of international policy.

TWENTY-oNE DAYS IN JAIL.
Cousin of Earl of Craven Sentenced
for Assault.

London, Dec. ga. e. Craven,
cousin of the Earl of Craven, son-in-
law of Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Martin,
formerly OF New York, has been sen
fenced to twenty-one days in Jail for
brutal assault on a fellow passenger
on train. The man, while entering
a crowded car, bumped against Mr..
Craven's knee with his gripsack. MI.
Craven extensively demanded an apol-
.ogy and upon receiving a refusal
struck the plaintiff in the face. Mr..
Craven then loudly proclaimed himself
"a gentleman whose name would be
found in Debrett and cousin of the
Earl of Craven. The plaintiff de-
clared that Mr.. Craven's conduct was
not that of a gentleman, whereupon
Mr.. Craven dealt him violent blow
on the nose, drawing blood profusely.
The magistrate, in sending Mr.. Craven
to jail, characterized the assault as
most unjustifiable and most black
guardly, for which a fine was quite
inadequate.

that something in this direction has
been going on since it has been known
