Christian Rodowitz. under arrest at
Chicago, is a Russian revolutionist and
not murderer, and as such is not sub
ject TO extradition of the cars
domains to be dealt with summarily
as is the custom In cases OF this kind.
Such in brief is the information
brought from Washington by the tele
graph In the announcement that Sec.
rotary OF State Root. as one OF his last
acts before retiring from the cabinet,
had declined TO order extradltion.
The news was received at Chicago
with rejoicing by the friends of the
accused man, who had made a gallant
fight to save him from what they de-
clared would be his judicial murder by
the Russian government. Rudowitz
has been held In jail here pending the
final action on his case by the state
department
The case attracted attention In all
sections Of the country where there is
large population OF foreign-born citI.
zens. because II was believed the right
of asylum was being attacked; and
that the extradition of Rudowitz would
be the opening wedge for a general
demand from foreign nations for the
return Of political refugees.

WILL NOT PLAY TIMERS.

Since winning the game with the
Postoffice boys. the printers have been
challenged for game with the timers,
but the printers will not play the tin
ners at present. In the first place, II
is due the P. o. team that the printers
play them at least another game so
as to give them chance to even up.
If the r. O's should win the next
game. this would mean that still an
additional game must be played to de-
eide the superiority Of the two teams.
Owing to their employment, the print
ers cannot play more than one game
a week-and their muscles are sore
enough at this.
However, should the typos win Fri
days game, they say they will be glad
to show the timers thing or two
about the great national game.
