PROF. HAU EXTRADITED
IN A STATE OF COLLAPSE IN
COURT.

LONDON, December 19-The extraditon
of Prof. Karl IIau of the George Washing
ton University, Washington. D. c., to Ger
many was formally granted at the Bow
street police court this afternoon on the
charge of numbering his mother-in-law,
Der s.
When the magistrate announced his de-
cision the prisoner, who appeared to be in
a state of collapse, had to be assisted out
of the court room and was carried back to
his cell. He was in a very weak condition
and had to clutch the railing of the pris-
oners dock to prevent himself from fall
ing He was faultlessly dressed, however,
as usual.
Hope to Clear Him.
In calling the case the magistrate an
cause of Frau Molitor's death had been
received from Germany.
Mr.. Wilson, counsel for the prisoner, said
he had been advised that the prisoners
case was one in which the raising of OBJ
jections to his extradition would be of no
avail. His client must return to Germany
and stand trial.
The magistrate then granted the order
for the prisoners extradtion and gave him
fifteen days in which to apply for a writ of
habeas corpus.
The German lawyer who is to defend
Hau at Baden Baden was present during
the proceedings at Bow street today. He
says he is hopeful of clearing the prisoner
of the charge brought against him.
The acquaintance and friends of Prof
Hau in this city with whom Star reporter
talked today said they had not received
any late information from him. Mr.. Ralph
Burton stated this afternoon that the last
word he had received from Hau was a
cablegram several weeks ago. He. added
that there was nothing to be said at this
time concerning the case. He thought it
would be advisable to walt and hear Prof.
Haus side of the story before too much
was said here. Mr.. Burton is a friend of
Hau and has been in charge of his affairs
here since the professor left the United
States,

MADAME GOULD WINS
COURT DECIDES IN HER FAVOR
AT PARIS.

PARIS. December 19.-Mme. Gould, the
former Countess Boni de Castellane, has
been victorious in the suits brought by
creditors and money lenders against her
with the object of making her jointly re-
sponsible with the count. Thirteen of the
fifteen cases were dismissed today by the
court with costs against the plaintiffs.
Only in the cases of two art dealers did
the court express the opinion that Nine.
Gould should be held responsible, as the
objects purchased in these instances for the
most part were still in her possess on.
There are still three cases to be passed
upon and they will be decided December &c
In dismissing the thirteen suits the court
held that the plaintiffs had failed to prove
that the debts were contracted for the COM
mon benefit of the count and countess.
The latter, the court declared had more
than fulfilled the obligations under her
marriage contract During her welded life
she had retained nothing for herself, her
entire revenue being collected by her hus-
band and employed, according to his own
admission, either for the household ex-
penses or for the payment of his personal
debts.

The last section fixes a penalty from SO

any agent of a street car company or upon

Mr.. Madden's other bill is very brief and
merely provides that all gas companies
operating in the District shall charge not
more than 10 cents thousand cubic feet
for gas following the passage of the act.
and that the standard and quality of the
gas sold for this price shall be equal to

Mr.. Madden's Views.
Mr.. Madden, discussing with Star re-
porter today this latter bill, said that he
intended to press this measure as well as
the street car bill before the District COM
mittee Immediately after the holidays. Mr..
Madden intimated that he had made an
exhaustive inquiry into the manufacture
of gas, and had statistics in his possession
which would furnish abundant proof that
gas can be sold at 20 cents thousand
cubic feet and still give handsome

FIGHT ON STEEL TRUST.
Farm Machinery Companies Demand
Fair Treatment

CHICAGO, December 19.-The Tribune to-
day says: A bitter war. which ultimately
may have far-reaching effects on the manu.
featuring interests of the country, was pre-
cipitated yesterday, when a number of
farming machinery companies openly de-
clared their intention to fight against the
trust prices and methods of the iron and
steel combine of the United States
Their first move was to draft petition
appealing to President Roosevelt and Con-
gress to aid them in their efforts to obtain
just treatment at the hands Of the steel
company.

Representative Madden of Illinois, mem
Der of the appropriations committee of the
House, today introduced two bills which
will probably be read with intense interest
by a large proportion of the residents of
Washington-one providing for 75-cent gas
throughout the District of Columbia, the
other for universal transfers and more ade-
quate street railroad facilities.
The latter measure provides in the first
section that every street railroad o2erat-

mission of a plan to Congress for the crea-
ton of a forest reserve"
Turning to Secretary Wilson, who lad
been an interested listener to the examina-
ton of his colleague in the cabinet, Sena-
tor Lodge asked: 1--WE want to know I'M
der what authority you requested the with
drawai of these lands from allotment"
Secretary Wilson's Purpose.
Il never looked n. an authority" replied
Secretary Wilson Il made up my mind
that we had better proposition for the
Indian than to turn his land into a game
preserve. The right to withdraw the land
was a matter for the lawyers of the In
terror Department to pass upon We made
an investigation and then a recommended
ton. 1t IS up to you gentlemen to say
whether you take it or not.'

the law tells him to do
Chief Forester Pinchot was called to the
stanu and after he had explained the prop
osition. the members of the committee de-
clared emphatfcally that he could not hope
to get his han through Congress. He was
told also that his request had been out of
place inasmuch it suggested a violation
of law.
Secretary Hitchcock should not take
thirty minutes In telegraphing order to
the territory to permit the allotments to
proceed" declared Senator Teller, and SEN
ators Long. Brandegee and Clark assented.
The question of the propriety of the with
drawal of the lands was also raised in the
Senate. 1t was brought up by Senator

THE GOVERNMENTS SIDE.
Resumption of Argument in the
Kansas-CoIoradoC Case

The government today presented its side
of the Kansas-Colorado irrigation contro-
versy now in process Of settlement in the
Supreme Court of the United States, the
speakers being Assistant Attorney A. {.
Campbell, Assistant Attorney General F. L.
Campbell and Solicitor General Hoyt, who
were heard in the order named.
Mr.. A. C. Campbell explained the reason
why the government had interviewed in the
case, saying that it was because there are
stin from 6O,000,00o to 150000,OOo acres of
the public domain which can be reclaimed
and sold if irrigated, and it had been
thought possible that the result of the
that policy. He contended that the Ar
kansas river in Kansas, the only stream
imme ately affected by the litigation, is
not and never has been navigable, and
laid down the general proposition that the
waters of rivers in the arid region could
navigation purposes. He also made the
point that the common law governing
riparian rights does not control on the
Arkansas west of the ninety ninth meridian
and contended for the right of the people
of that section to divert the water from
the streams for irrgati ton.
Assistant Attorney General Campbell
spoke of the reclamation and cultivation
of the arid lands belonging to the govern
ment indispensable to the future growth
and prosperity of the nation. He pointed
out the great Importance Of irrigation in
view of the fact that about two-fifths of
the total area of the country is arid and
contended for the necessity of upholding
the governments policy for the promotion
of irrigation as indicated by legislative,
executive and judicial action in the past

referring to the street car bill. Mr.. Mad
den said that he had also given this sub
Ject much thought, which had been SUD-
plemented by personal experience. In nine
cases out OF ten he insisted that il was
Impossible for passenger to get a seat
IN any street car on any line at any time in
the District and he saw no reason why this
condition should exist With regard to the
hrst section of his bill providing for uni
versGl transfer, he pointed out that there
was a possibility at the present time of Il
passenger riding four five miles on one
rare In Chicago, although he did not hold
that Chicago street car systems were the
model ones at all. it had under the old
system been possible to ride seventeen miles
for one fare and under the unified system
now In process of formation it will be ros-
sible, he said to ride q distance of forty
miles on one fare. More than this the
railroad systems in Chicago must pay into
the city treasury % per cent of their net
receipts. He thought it would be about
iiSit IL iocdl street systems were MADE
to pay 20 per cent of their gross receipts.
This would figure out at about the same
as the Chicago rate.
The Public Demands
Mr.. Madden said that there was no rea-
son why the street car service of Wash
ington should not be more adequate and
he thought that something should be done
to force the companies to pay some atten-
ton to the public demands. The public
was entitled to good service and adequate
service and at present the public was not
getting anything at all in the way of eff
ficiency or adequacy.
Mr.. Madden will demand a hearing upon
his bills before the District Commissioners
Immediately after the holidays when it is
understood a number of members of the
commission will stand with him in support
of his two measures.
