U. S. REFUSES To
ASK MEXICO FOR
COLORADO CONVICT
GOV. SHAFROTH STILL THINKS
THAT McEACHERN THE CON-
yICT CAN BE EXTRA
DlTED.

Denver, Oct Am interesting
problem of international comfy
arises over the request of the state of
Colorado upon the state department
at Washington for a demand upon the
Republic of Mexico for the return to
this state of John ]. McEachern, a
convict who escaped from the peni-
tentiary road gang June &c.
- McEachern is in Cananea, a copper
camp in Mexico, and when Warden
lyman learned of his whereabouts he
notified Governor Shafroth. The Colo
RADIO executive Immediately notified
the state department and made a de-
mand that requisition papers be sent
to the Mexican government.
After holding the Colorado COM
munication for several months the
state department sent a reply that un-
der the extradition treaty of 1899
with Mexico and the amended treaty
of 1902 there was nothing that COW
cred the crime upon which McEach-
ern was convicted.
McEachern was involved in an at
tempted insurance swindle wherein
he represented a dead man and tried
to collect 1000 insurance. He was
tried in Teller county and sentenced
TO the penitentiary. He is miner and
when he made his escape he went to
Mexico.
Accompanying the communication
from the state department at Wash
ington are copies of the treaties with
Mexico. One section reads that extra
dition shall be granted for criminals
who may be guilty of obtaining money
"by false devices"
McEachern was convicted on the
specific charge of trying to obtain
money in a conspiracy to defraud."
A succeeding section in the treaty
declares that persons may be extra
dited "for the attempt to commit any
of the crimes and offenses above
enumerated"
Taking both together the governor
holds that the demand for the return
of McEachern is fully justified. w. H.
Malone, secretary to Governor Shat
roth, is now at work upon a brief
which he will submit to the federal
state department, renewing the de-
mand for the return of McEachern.

From Mondays Daily.
Miss Emma Ripley, who lives on
South Eighth street, narrowly es-
capped death about two o'clock this af-
ternoon while crossing the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad tracks near the
Colorado Canning company's plant.
Her attention being attracted by
passenger train at the station she did
not notice a slowly moving freight
train that was being backed down the
track from the opposite direction and
before she was aware of its approach
was knocked down and severely
bruised. She rolled over several times
on the ties before she was able to
get out of the way of the wheels. That
she was not killed was due entirely to
the fact that the train was moving
very slowly at the time of the acci-

KANSAS EXILES TO Dine.
Organization of Ex-Residents Formed

The club will be known as the Kan

elected to serve until the first an

probably more Kansas people in
