EXTRAD|T|ON
Of AppIeyard viii Be Applied For.
Requests Hearing Before It Is
Granted.

Albany, N Y, Feb. 2.-That appli-
cation is probably to be made to Gov
ernor Higgins for the extradition Of
Arthur e. Appleyard, of Brookline,
Mass, who is wanted in Buffalo in
connection with the failure of the Ger
man bank of this city was shown by
the fact that Mr.. Appleyard has noti-
fed the chief executive that he de-
sires to be heard before any such ap.
plication is granted.
Governor Higgins stated tonight that
he had received no notice of any
such application to be made and that
the only intimation he had of such
action was the communication he had
received from Mr.. Appleyard.
Governor Higgins stated that former
Governor Frank s. Black represents
Mr.. Appleyard as attorney.
Attorney General Mayer stated to
night that he had received the report
of Attorney Tracey C. Becker, of Buf
falo, whom he had designated to
make a special investigation of the
German bank failure and the causes
that led up to it, but that he was not
prepared to give the report out yet.

Greatly Admire Him.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 2.-The
house joint resolution calling upon
Missouri's senators. and representa-
tives in congress to support President
Roosevelt in his proposed railroad leg.
islation passed the senate today.
The senate is Democratic by more
than two-thirds majority and it has
never before indorsed anything Re
publican president ever did. But
Missori Democrats admire Roosevelt
and when the resolution came to the
senate from the house it was adopted
without dissenting vote. AS it calls
on Democratic senators and congress
men to support Republican president
it becomes resolution of more than
ordinary Importance.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP
DEFEATED TOM JENKINS FOR
... THE SECOND TIME.
Fast Wrestling Match at Cleveland
Last Night-Gotch the Ageres-
sor All Through.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 2.-Before 5000
spectators in the Grays Armory to-
night, Frank Gotch clinched his right
to the title of the champion wrestler
of the United States by defeating for
the second time, Tom Jenkins. The
match was a beautiful one and an
exceedingly fast one. The first fall
was won by Jenkins in 27 minutes, the
second fall by Gotch in AZ seconds.
and also the third in IL minutes. Both
men were in the pink of condition. The
match began at 9:55. ..
Gotch presented the first appearance
in the ring. He was seconded by Jap
O'Neil of Buffalo while Clarence Boul-
din was the second Of Jenkins, local
man.
The first bout began with fifteen
minute play for holds when Gotch was
brought to the mat by Jenkins secur-
ing strong body hold, which Gotch
had much difficulty in getting away
from. Jenkins threw Gotch over his
head in the first clinch retaining his
hold, but Gotch was again successful
in getting away. The two wrestled all
over the mat until jenkins got a crotch
and arm hold combined with the scis.
sor hold with which he was able to
slowly force Gotchs shoulders to the
mat in q minutes. The crowd accord
ed Jenkins a most enthusiastic ova
ton.
1t was in the second bout that the
most sensational wrestling ever ex
hibited here was seen. Gotch became
the aggressor. II was so fast that the
crowd could hardly follow the move
ments of the wrestlers. Head, shins
and bridges followed each other in
quick succession and in forty-eight sec
ons Gotch had his opponent upon the
mat with wrist and crotch hold.
The third bout was a repetition OF
the second, Gotch again being the ag
gressor and winning the fall in II
minutes with body hold:

minutes past six o'clock this evening
and shortly before midnight they re-
turned with verdict of guilty.

IDLY affected by the verdict and the
tears streamed down his cheeks, but
he recovered his composure, grasped
his counsel by the hand and said:
Keep up, l am sorry"
In answer to the clerks questions
the prisoner said he was 55 years of
age, lived at 125 East Fourteenth
street, a physician by profession and
married. He said his parents were
dead and that he was born in Germany
Recorder Goff told Lawyer Moss
that, IL he had motions to make he
should do so tomorrow, Friday, as that
would be the last day Of the present
term.
The prisoner was then led away to
the Tombs by a court officer, but not
before many of his friends had as
sured him that everything that could
be done would be done to have the
verdict set aside.

Of this city are straining every energy

shot and killed George Williams, a

New York. Feb. 2.-The cold wave
which is sweeping the country has
reached New York and in its wake
have come untold sufferings and dis
tress into the homes of the poor. In
anticipation of tomorrows flood OF
applications for relief the various
charitable organizations throughout
the city, as well as the department Of
charities worked until a late hour to-
night to be in readiness to render ac-
tive help but it Is very much feared
that the means and facilities on hand
will not suffice to satisfy all demands.
Weather Forecaster Emery stated
tonight that by tomorrow morning
the metropolis would experience rec
ord cold weather. The experience of
former years has taught that this
means death and illness to hundreds
and agony to thousands.
The grocers in the poorer districts
did a rushing business throughout the
afternoon selling coal in ten cent pals,
but the charitable organizations of the
city know that there are thousands
throughout the city who are unable to
buy any fuel and who. if coal is not
given them free, must face the danger
OF sickness and death as result OF
the intense cold.
In every school in the poorer dis
triets teachers were appealed to by
their little charges to be permitted to
remain in the school-houses. the chill
dren explaining that their homes were
so cold"
The number Of children seen In
some of the streets begging today was
appalling. These little mendicants are
only scantily clad and while some may
have been sent out by unscrupulous
parents who are not really in need OF
money, others again were driven out
to face the icy gale by dire need.
Every police station was 5esieged

the heated corridors to all who care
begin to come around midnight and
their number during this winter never
exceeded a score Today they began
focking around the big radiators as
early as o'clock in the evening aud
by fully a hundred had assembled.
The night watchman in the postoffice
building kept them quiet by reminding
them now and then in a stern voice
that they were mot at home" But
he said TO quostioners that it made
lin feel good 10 kno& that the gov
Crnment did not object to the assem-
blage.
Similar scenes could be observed in
the ferry house, where an entrance fee
of two cents entities a man to stay all
night. In the corridors of the big
office buildings, where the watchmen
are not too particular, small knots of
men could be seen at all hours, bent
upon the one object of getting warm
before braving the cold again and the
lodging houses became crowded long
before the usual hour by the lucky
ones" who had managed to earn or
beg enough to secure a bed for the
night and there was not one Of the
city lodging houses big enough to ac-
commodate all comers.
The Salvation Army threw open ev-
cry one of their halls and mission
rooms and the benches in the latter,
which take the place Of pews usually
served as beds for the weary.
The army also fed many Of its guests
and altogether did its best to give
quick and much-needed relief.
The United Bureau of Charities, un-
able to find lodgings for the many
| clamoring at its doors. did an excep-
tional thing by rigging up it's large
corridors into temporary dormitory.
All available chairs and benches were
put into commission for the purpose.
That there is good reason to fear
the effects of the biting cold which ac-
companied the whistling gale that
swept through the city streets and
made even those suffer who were
warmly clad, was shown by the fol-
lowing statement issued by Weather
Forecaster Emery:
Tomorrow will, in all probability,
be the coolest day we will have this
year. This years record was zero at
a m. on January &c. the morning
after our last blizzard. Reports from
the west indicate that tomorrow's
cold snap may eclipse all figures for
many years"

Detailed Accounts of st. Petersburg's

London, Feb. 3--The st. Petersburg
correspondent Of the London Daily

The Japanese, Kuropatkin REPORTS ac-
cording to the correspondent have sue

the temper of the troops is ugly in
the extreme.
For the present, General Kuropatkin
reported to the czar, according to the
correspondent, the troops may be re-
lied upon to stick to thir posts, but 1t
is difficult to forecast their future ac-
tions. 1t would be useless, at any
rate, to command them to resume the
advance, as the results of such an or
der may prove disastrous.

CASUALTIES IN
WARSAW RIOT
THE KILLED NUMBER GA AND
THE WOUNDED 1908.
Many Probably Not eported-cruelty
of the Authorities Toward the
Survivors,


Warsaw, Feb. 3.-Authentic figures
now available place the number of
those killed in the recent street fights
at GA and of the wounded at l,403.
These figures are CLEANED from the
official reports but it is safe to assume
that many dead and wounded are still
in the houses of the workmen and
that they will attempt to bury the
dead in secret.
Needless cruelty and lack OF feeling
characterizes the conduct Of the au-
thorities towards those who seek per-
mission to identify their dead.
Thqdoors OF eyery hospital and every
morgue are besieged by those who
fear that their fathers and sons have
been killed and wounded in the
clashes. They are mostly women,
begging on their knees to be admit
ted, but their prayers are not heard
The order has gone forth that the
dead must be buried without being
followed to their graves by their rel
atives and that the wounded shall not
be permitted to converse with out
siders until the question has been
decided whether they are to be treat
ed as prisoners or whether they may
so free after their recovery
The claim of the authorities that
the sight of the dead and wounded
would incite the people to renewed
outbreaks is not borne out by the at
titude Of those who clamor for admis..
sion to the morgue and hospitals. But
their grief and despair upon being
told that they may not enter beggars

Lisbon Buckeye State:-John A.
Bliss the expert accountant who was
sent here by the bureau of instruction
and supervision of public offices, as a
state examiner to investigate all the
county offices, completed his work in
the court house and returned to his
home in Canton Monday afternoon.
AS to the actual results of his investi
ga.ion, nothing will be given out by
Mr. Bliss until he completes his report
in about a month, Before leaving,
however, he made the statement that
he had completed hts work in Columbi-
ana county in about one-third time it
usually takes for a county of this size.
AS a reason for this, he said he found
all the offices in unusually good shape,
especially commencing Auditor j..
Frank Adams and Treasurer W. A.
Thompson, whose Offices he pronounc-
ed to be in better shape than the Of.
fees of the auditor and treasurer In
any Of the twenty-nine counties he had
previously examined. Their records
are absolutely correct" said Mr. Bliss,
without farthing of discrepancy,
and their Offices are models as to neat.
ness and accuracy" One feature that
especially attracted his attention in
the auditors ONCE was the method of
filing papers.

RUMORED CUTS
In Western and Southwestern Grain
Rates Failed to Materialize.

Chicago, Feb. 2.--Rumors of further
cuts In western and southwestern
grain rates fell thick and fast today
but hone Of them could be traced to
any authentic source. 1t was stated
that an IL cent rate had been put into
effect between Omaha and Council
Bluffs and New Orleans and that it
had been met by a fourteen cent
through rate from the Missouri river
to the Atlantic seaboard through Chi
cago. These rates may be put into
effect before the end of the week. A
waiting spirit still prevails among the
traffic officials of competing routes
and the impression obtains very gen.
orally that rates must go considerably
lower before any agreement is reached
and there is general disposition to
go to extremes Immediately, so that
the war may be made sharp and short.

the Putiloff iron works to return to

General Trepoff, in an interview, said
at the time, that no such order had

FIERCE FURY
OF Fighting on the Hun River Indcat-
ed by Heavy Losses.

Toxic, Feb. 3-An inkling of the
fury of the recent battle on the left
side of the Hun river is given by a

the Marquis Oyama by the imperial
army headquarters. The field marshal
states that four of the Russian regi-
ments were nearly annihilated, some
companies, being reduced to ten men.
The Japanese losses since January
26 are stated by Field Marshal Oyama
