NEW YORK, March 1.-The Russian
government, in order to escape the laws
which prohibit eXtradition for political
offenses, has trumped up a charge of
embezzlement against Felix Gaidsis,
and seeks to have him returned to Rus
sia where torture, if necessary, prob
ably will be employed to compel him
to reveal secrets fatal to the interests
of the revolutionists.
This accusation, made by a lawyer
yesterday before United States Com
missioner Shields has aroused what
may create an international contro-
versy.
Gaidsis recently was held by the i'm
migration officials on request of the
Russian government, which charges
that Gaidsis, while in the employ of a
Russian official, stole bonds, converted
them into money and gambled the pro-

BLAMES THE VEGETARIANS
Speaker at Shoe and Leather Congress
Says Meat Eaters Make
Industry Possible

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 2.-Vegetarians are
largely responsible for the increasing
price of shoe leather, is the belief of
August H. Vogel of Milwaukee, who
was the principal speaker last night
at the sem-annuaI dinner of the Shoe
and Leather association of Chicago. He
and other speakers complained that
shoes in Chicago are sold too cheaply.
"The worlds visible supply of hides"
said Mr.. Vogel, "is every year be-
coming less in proportion to the in
crease in population. The hide indus
try is dependent on the consumption
of meat. People are eating less meat
than formerly. The consumption of
cereal and vegetable foods is increasing
every year and the price of leather is
proportionately."

of the Apollo club. Mr.. Schoenefeld
has received the Nordica prize offered
by the Ladies' Home Journal III a COM
posers' competition.

notification of success and what is per-
haps more valued by the composer Is

Madam Lillian Nordica.
The title of Mr.. Schoenefeld's COM
position Is "The Song of Love" "
Madame Nordca was one of the judges
with a jury composed of prominent
eastern musicians and the prinla donna

Mr.. Schoenefeld sent his produc-
, tion east shortly before the competi-
tion closed January 1. 1t was writ
ten in twenty-five measures and as
the conditions restricted all compost
tions to thirtyfour measures 1t was
well within the limit.

on the necessity of the winning song
being melodious and Mr.. Schoenefeld's IS

director of the, Paris Conservatory of
Music; RaouI Pugno, the pianist, who

Henri Martean.
At the time the composition was
first played i'll Paris the following
cable OF congratulation was sent to
America telling of the great success of
the composer: "Such success for a
foreign composer is rare in France. The
sonata by Schoenefeld was the first
and most important number on the
program tonight"
The friends of the composer are
jubilant over this latest success, and
Los Angeles musicians are one in Of

JURY EX0NERATES CHAPMAN
Inquest Over Body of John Rooney Re-
suits In Verdict of Justlfiable
Homicide

A coroner's inquest was held yester-
day over the body of John Rooney,
who dropped dead in saloon from
fractured skull, the result of a chance
blow given by e. ]. Chapman of Hol-
lywood.
The verdict of the jury was justi-
fable homicide, evidence being intro
duced to show that Chapman acted
in self-defense and did not intend to
strike fatal blow.
The two men were in dispute over
a dog fight and the trouble apparently
ended after Chapman had knocked the
other man down. Rooney came into
the city Saturday morning and drank
heavily. He finally staggered into a
saloon at 1876 East First street and
dropped dead. 1t was at first thought
that chronic alcoholism was the cause
of death but an autopsy revealed the
fact that Rooney had a fractured
skull.
