G00OALL
DOES NOT
WANT JOB

F. E. GoodaII, president of the
chamber of commerce, returned to-
day from his trip to New York
city. Mr.. GoodaII said that he is
not a candidate for the taIked-of
post of general manager Of the
chamber of commerce which a
number of the influential members
of that body have recently urged
be established. Mr.. GoodaIl was
in doubt as to the wisdom of pay
ing high salary for doing the
work contemplated to be perform
ed by the general manager, as he
thought there were enough public
spirited men in Spokane who would
lend their services to the city in
this connection without charge.

CAN NOT ExTRADlTE
BADLY WANTED RUSSIAN

Washington, Jan. 26-Secretary
Root today refused to extradite Chris
tain Rudowicz, Russian for whose
possession the Russian government
made vigorous representations.
Rudowicz was charged with MUIR
der, arson and other crimes and the
claim is made that the offenses were
in furtherance of a political move
ment in which he was involved. The
extradition was refused because the
offense charged comes under the gen.
eral prohibition against aktradition
specified in the treaty with Russia,
which declares that If it be made to
appear that extradition is sought with
a view to punish for an offense of a
political nature, surrender shall not
take place. The testimony taken in
the case in Chicago, where Rudowicz
if in prison, upholds the views taken
by the department of state, though
the commissioner who conducted the
examination upheld the Russian gov
ernments demand. Root declined to
comment on the decision. The case
has aroused widespread interest and
a fund was raised for the defense OF
Rudowicz. Rudowicz was an ac-
knowledged member of the Russian
revolutionary organization.
