Mr.. MOODY'S
TIMELY
PROPOSAL

Washington. Dec. 5.-Attorney General
w. IL Moody. i'm his annual report 10 Con-
gress, recommends the enactment OF "A
law which Will provide I'm substance that
where an indictment is duly returned TO
"A court Of the United States. the Judge
OF that court. may I'm his discretion. issue
a bench warrant for the arrest OF the
defendants wherever they may be found
within the territorial limits Of the Limited
States: and that Il shall be the duty of
all persons authorized 10 serve such pro-
cess to arrest the person or persons in
dicted. and, II they fail after reasonable
opportunity 20 furnish bail for their ap-
pearance, 10 bring them to the court in
which indictment has been found.
The attorney general explains that
much embarrassment I'm the administra-
tion of the laws has arisen from the in
ability of the United States to bring an
offender TO the place and court where.
by the constitution and laws. the ac-
cusation against him must be tried.
BY the constitution the trial OF all
crimes must be held i'm "the state and
district wherein they shall have been com
mitted." IL frequently happens that per-
sons accused are not found within the
limits OF the district where the offences
alleged against them are triable. The
frequency OF such absence Increases with

II consists in n conspiracy always in
variably one or more of the alleged
offenders are without the jurisdiction OF
the district
That at some time injustice might re-
suit to individuals, says the attorney
general, cannot be denied The occa-
sional abuse Of power is inseparable
from its existence. on the other hand
the possibility OF delays and defeats OF
Justice which the present system affords
renders the power OF the United States
ridiculous and brings contempt upon the
administration OF the law. In support
Of his views Mr.. Moody cites n number
OF CASES under the present law I'm which
jus tice has been defeated or greatly de-
layed and large expense unnecessarily
incurred by the government. Among
these cases is that Of the codefendants
Will Capt Oberlin NJ. Carter. In the
Savannah Improvement frauds.
Mr.. Moody outlines the proceedings and
says that only after delay OF 26 months
could the United States take men charged
with grave crime TO the place provided
by the constitution for their trial Then
the two defendants, whose presence was
most desired. fled the country and al
though continued effort for their recovery
had been large they are still at large
Until they shall have been apprehended II

Twenty third street so tightly that the
combined efforts Of a score OF firemen
and policemen only released him after
long and frantic efforts and with the
rising tide threatening death by drown
ing, a man supposed to be George Fahey
became a raving maniac and died today
after having been removed from his
perilous position.
A policeman heard cries from under
the pier today and as the calls for help
seemed 10 be growing faint, Fahey was
found wedged between two piles whose
tops were close together. A rope was
passed under the mans arms and FIVE
men attempted TO pull Fahey out OF
his plight but only wedged his body more
tightly I'm it's prison The rising tide
was at the level OF the frightened mans
chest ar his screams urged his rescuers
TO greater haste.
Four more policemen were summoned
but the man could not be released. An
urgent call for more help brought fire

1t is suggested today that the mystery
Of the securities upon which 1t is alleged
Mrs. Chadwick obtained huge sums OF
money from banks and individuals might
be cleared away as a result OF the ar
rest OF the Oberin bank officials. Presi-

suit OF a loan made TO Mrs. Chadwick
has steadfastly maintained that the secu-

her indebtedness. lie has. however, re-

Now that the president and the cashier,
A. b. Spear, have been arrested on war

concerned he accounted in the courts.
SON WILL NOT TALK.
Cleveland. Ohio. Dec 5-EmiI Chad
wick. son Of Mrs. c. l.. Chadwick. arrived
here today from New York on the Lake
Shore Limited. Aside from a half-dozen
reporters no one met the young man at
the station. He entered the restaurant
az the station and ordered breakfast.
He appeared pale and careworn. After
eating n hasty meal he boarded a car for
his mothers home at the corner OF Euclid
and South Genesee avenues. Young
Chadwick refused absolutely 10 discuss
his mothers troubles. He simply stated
that he had been instructed 20 keep silent
and he intended doing so. After board
ing the street car a morning paper was
handed 20 him containing an account or
the arrest OF the Oberlin bank officials.
Young Chadwick glanced at the head lines
and dropping the paper on his knees
gazed thoughtfully out Of the window
Chadwick carried a small valise. which.
according 20 the New York dispatch, con-
tained his mothers jewelry. The young
man refused 10 say whether or not tho
valuables were in the valise.
