 Cases

Cnlcago. Dec. 27,-Wiliiam J. Cali noun, who, some years ago, acted as special investigator for President Roosevelt in Panama and Venezuela, was the chief speaker at a big mass meeting held here today in the inter- est of Christian Rudowitz. the Rus sian refugee. who, in response to the demand of the Russian Government, cnarging him with arson. robbery and murder, has been recommended by United States Commissioner Foote for extradition. The defense of Rudowitz that ne Is political refugee, is to be presented to the State Department by MT. Calhoun in an effort to have the recommendation of Mir. Foote reversed. hodowitz Is charged with participat- ing in the murder of three people in the Province of Courland. Russia, fn January, 1905.
 "The injustice of existing laws may be illustrated by a single example," said MT, Calhoun. An Ambassador or even any of his attaches, cannot be sued or attacked in any way, even Tor so little as laundry bill except before the Supreme Court of the United States. But an individual accused of murder. can be held and perhaps be sent to death on the hearing of a man wno IS not even lawyer"
 Walter L. Fisher. Rabbi Hirsch and Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones also spoke. Resolutions were adopted demanding change in the statutes. which will make 1t necessary that all extradition cases be heard before a Federal court.

WORLDS BANKER
FINANCIAL FIGURES SUSTAIN
 FRANCES RIGHT TO TITLE.
The County Suffered Some from the Americam Panic, But Foreign
 Holdings Brought in q360, ,000s s010.

Paris. Dec. 27.-Although general trade conditions in France suffered in 1908 largely because of the reduc- tion in American demand following the financial crisis. figures submitted by M. Leroy BeauIieu and other sta- tisticians. at the end of the year, dem onstrate the imposing strength of Frances financial position and her right to the title of The Worlds Banker"
 M. Leroy Beaulieu's figures show that France now receives $360,000 900 as an annual income from foreign holdings. the amount having been almost doubled in the last fifteen years. He estimates the present wealth of the French pso- pie at $45,000, ,00O 900, or more thEn SLIGO for every man, woman and child. and as the estimate Is based upon de- clared succession taxes, 1t is admit tedly much below the real figures.
 During the last fifteen years, $52i,- 100000 in gold was loaned abroad. yet the excess importation amounted to S7S5.soe 900. Tn 1908 the gold hold ings of the Bank of France increased by $2OO, 100000: they now stand at S70O, 900 900, the largest in the history of the bank. The other banks hold $s33.sO0,000.
 The balance of trade which. in 1893. amounted to S140.000. 900 against France. are now In Frances favor. The budget of 1909, owing to the pur- chase of the Western Railroad and ex- traordinary expenses in connection with Morocco. Is the highest in the history of the country. !,
