DOWN REQUISIII0N
GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN RE-
FUSES TO GIVE UP A PRISONER
TO THIS STATE, ON TECHNICAL.
GROUNDS.

Michigan's governor has refused to
honor the requisition Of Governor John
son. asking for the return of Henry
Krebs, alias Benedict Block, for trial
in St. Paul on a charge of grand lar
cenY. Deputy Sheriff Picha Of Ramsey
county has returned from Detroit with
out his man, and there is some excite
ment over the unusual incident.
The ground of refusal was that the
offense named in the requisition was
not the same offense as charged in the
complaint. Krebs made a deal with
Christ Keller, North Dakota farmer,
giving Keller an interest in the Ameri-
can Wine q Liquor company, $50 East
Seventh street, St. Paul, in return for
a deed to Keller's farm, valued at
$4,000. Krebs sold the farm and left
without giving his address. It is
charged that he made false represent
tations about the liquor store proper
ty. Obtaining money under false pre-
lenses is not a separate offense under
grand larceny. The complaint filed in
municipal court set forth the facts,
while the requisition stated that the
crime was grand larceny. The attor-
niey general of Michigan evidently was
ignorant of the Minnesota law or did
not examine the papers carefully. It
is only necessary to state an Offense
under the laws Of the state that wants
the prisoner. and it makes no differ
ence what the Michigan law is on the
subject. Further steps to secure Krebs
will probably be taken.

ADMIRERS DUMFOUNDED
Anna Katherine Green Surpasses Pre-
vious Best Efforts.

Anna Katherine Green, whose world
famous novel, "The Leavenworth
Case completely revolutionized all de-
tective literature (and gave rise to a
hundred more or less unsuccessful eff
forts at imitation by lesser writers)
has, by her latest book, utterly dunn
founded her army of admirers.
This new book is "The Chief Lega-
tee. - 1t is even more original in it's
way that was its great predecessor,
"The Leavenworth Case.'' Compete
critics declare it is as much better than
that earlier masterpiece as the latter was
better than the ordinary mystery story.
Not only is this startling originality
found in the treatment and novel sit
nations, but in the plot itself. 1t is in
every respect totally unlike any other
detective romance ever written.
In the first place no crime is commit
ted. There is no accepted clue to work
on, and the only detective in the book
vanishes from its pages early in the
action. Thus we have that anomaly, a
detective story without crime and
practically without detective. What
is left? If nine writer's out of ten were
confronted with such a problem, there
would be absolutely nothing readable
left. In the case Of "The Chief Lega-
tee,' however, the result is the great
est detective story in the annals of
literature, story that will take the
world by storm.
1t would be unfair to spoil the perus
al Of this strange tale by explaining
BADLY how such story could be built
up without the use Of the oldS estab-
lished materials, nor the succession Of
brilliant situations and climaxes that
work up to the amazing finale and leave
the reader gasping and thrilled by the
art and endless excitement of it all.
"The Chief Legatee' is unlike any
other detective story you ever read. It
is as original as 'ESherlock Holiness as
stirring and full of suspense as "The
Leavenworth Case.' = -
The Journal has secured the exclu-
sive right to publish 'The Chief Lega-
tee in serial form before it appears
as a book. Serial publication will be-
gin Sunday, Dec. 2, and the novel will
be completed in January. Order in ad-
vance, to make sure Of avoiding dis
appointment. ''The Chief Legatee'' is
the eighth Of the Authors and Newspa-
pers' association s celebrated $4,000
series of hitherto unpublished interna-
tional fiction.

LOCAL WEATHER MAKERS
COMMIT LESE MAJESTY

Charles A. Kyle, observer in charge
of the Minneapolis weather bureau, anci
his assistants arc in line fora congress
sional investigation for hunting out of
season. When President Roosevelt g
order directing the use Of the simplifed
spelling in the government printing Of
fee went out they received the list of
300 words with enthusiasm. With pains
taking care they inserted the new words
in the daily bulletins of the office
whenever and wherever possible. i f.
Zeal for the cause Of spelling reform
is still manifest in the daily publica-
lions Of the office in spite of the fact of
congress ordering the resumption of the
orthodox forms in all public documents.
No provision contained in the United
States statutes cover this offense, but
it is possible that the crew of the Min
neapolis weather foundry may be
brought to- book under the common law

Practically every approved device
known to electrical engineering has
been brought into the service. Some
consist of attracting points and lines
connecting with the ground, applied to
the pole line itself. These are installed
On special yardarms and are of differ
poles erected within the right Of way
Of the line and fitted with other forms
Of arrestors and attracting devices.
The engineers believe they have the
problem solved and that all will be
well during the lightning season next
spring and summer, but at the same
time they are awaiting the first heavy
electrical storms to test the devices.
