New York Judge Questions Ethics c
 Action of ExtRaditton Ofticer.

Action of Extraditton Ofhcer.
 New York. Aug. 7--That the honor of the United States is of more import ance than the punishment of million by Judge Hough in the United States Circuit Court here today in the habeas corpus proceedings instituted on behalf of Charles c. Browne.
 Browne was employed in the customs service in this city and was extradited in Canada and taken to Sing Sing pris- on to begin two years term for con- spiracy to defraud the government
 w. M. K. Olcott of counsel Tor Browne, denounced the action of the Federal authorities in extraditing Browne for one offense and incarcera- ting him in hIs prison as a trick be- meath tho dignity of the government and in violation of the treaty with Cam ada.
 In taking the papers in the case and reserving decision Judge Hough com mented on the Rauscher decision in tho Supreme Court. In which the conten- tions now advanced in behalf of Browne, were upheld and 1t was in this connection that he spoke of the honor of the United States being of more importance than the conviction of crim- inals g He said that his understanding of the Rauscher decision was that tho
  question of honor of the United States in such matters
 Were 1t not for the Rauscher decia- ion, however, will say now" declared Judge Hough, that would send Browne back to Sing Sing"
 Some significance was attached to the fact that Charles Fox. counsel of Sir Percy Sanderson, the British Con- sul General. was present during the hearing.
 Browne was convicted of conspiracy tc defraud the government and sem fenced to two years in prison. He jumped a $12,500 ball and fled to Can ada. Extradition was refused on ti 0 conspiracy charge. but he was finally l ex xtradited on an amended charge of | being a fugitive from justice. His ate torneys expected that he would first be brought to New York. but inStead he was taken direct to Sing Sing prison.
