gonn Is Given Liberty.
Fearing that William Smith, Chicago
man serving a sentence of ten days in the
county Jail at Kenosha on a minor charge,
would die from hydrophobia in his cell,
Acting Mayor Pirsch issued a pardon for
the man and money was raised to send
him to his friends in Chicago. The local
physicians who attended him fear that
he may be seized with violent hydropho
bia at any time. The man was bitten by
a dog in Chicago more than a week be-
fore, but paid no attention to the wound
Now his arm is affected. The physicians
found him in high fever. An effort to
reduce the fever failed and the physicians
asked for his release. Smith is said to be-
long to a good family in Chicago and it is
thought that the name given was an as
sumed one.

further hearings for Jan Janof Pouren,
the Russian refugee, accused of various
crimes and under detention pending de-
cision upon the Russian governments
application for his extradition, came to
naught Tuesday through a decision by
Judge Holt in the United States court
here. Congressman Herbert Parsons,
counsel for Pouren, asked the court on
Monday to vaeace the second warrant
to arrest secured by counsel for the Rus
sian government, which was served upon
PouTen Immediately upon the receipt
here of an order from Washington re-
asing him from custody under the first
warrant. The ground Of the application
was that no certificate had been issued
by the secretary Of state to the Russian
representatives as provided in the treaty
with Russia covering cases of the kind
The court held that the issuance of such
certificate in the first proceeding was
sufficient. Judge Holt referred the Pour
en- matter to Samuel Hitchcock, United
States commissioner in extradition pro-
ceedings, instructing Commissioner
Hitchcock TO proceed with the hearing
and take what further action is neces-
sary in the case"
