Chicago Speakers Talk Plainly Abou
Extraditiou Of Russ Refugees.

Extradition Of Russ Refugees.
CHICAGO. December 14.-Five meetings
were held here yesterday to protest
against the action Of United States Com
missioner Foote in issuing an order look
ing to the extradition OF Christian Rudo-
wicz, the Russian refugee. The speakers
declared that the action Of the govern
ment is dictated by American interests in
Russian bonds and the influence of Wall
street.
Mrs. May Wood Simons said: There
would be no sentiment against Rudowicz
and other refugees today were 1t not for
the big interest Americans hold in Rus
sian bonds.
MANY Of our financial institutions and
individuals are closely allied to Russia
because of their investment in the cars
bonds. An enormous amount of Ameri-
can money was applied to the defeat Of
the uprising and there is big economic
interest behind the attempt to extradite
Rudowicz."

Thereafter he first noted on his
hands some excrescences which
had the appearance of warts, and
which spread. Following this came
pains in his left hand, gradual

were so severe ultimately that he
