NEW YORK, Dec. 10--Within the
next few days the New York police
hope TO capture the boss in the gang
OF Italian kidnapers, whose operations
are believed to have been the most
widespread and heartIess in the annals
Of this form Of crime
Through information obtained from
Michael Rizzo, the italian boy kidnapped
along with Giuseppe Longo. from near
his Brooklyn home on November 70.
Deputy Flynn believes that he IS at
least on the track Of the leader OF the
gang, ten Of whose members We're cap
tured in a raid on their East Sixty
third street headquarters, and are now
held in $1,000 bail each
Sensation Expected
The boss Is said TO be a business
man who has directed the operations Of
the gang. He is not a resident Of New
York city When he Is arrested. the
police believe a most startling series Of
disclosures viii be forthcoming

boys leaves four children kidnapped

that all children were stolen ov the
gang now being rounded up. and II is

Of being cOwed by threats Even when
members OF their families call on them

This shows what desperate crowd
the police believe they have 10 deal
with. They say there IS little doubt

He was so badly frightened that he
was able to tell but little Of his ex-
perieuces, but remembers that on the

EKTRADITION TREATY
ABUSED By MEXICO
Search of Records Show Re.
quests Have Many Times
Been Refused.

Evidence confrmatOTy Of the charges
Of Representative Wilson, Of Pennsyl-
vania- that the Diaz government Of
Mexico is making undue use OF the
Governmental machinery OF the United
States through the terms OF the eXtTadi-
ton treaty, Is revealed IN a search OF
the Government records Of extTaditiOn
cases with Mexico
That extrad.tion has been refused in q
large number OF cases in which IL has
been asked Of ATexicans IN this country,
becaus= Of the failure OF the Mexican
government 10 make a case; that the
Mexican government has frequently
neglected 10 make even a pretense Of
formal charges after the arrest has
been made. that, III many cases, after
the failure Of eXtrad1LlOn proceedings IN
the first instance the accused has been
rearrested on other charges by the re
quest Of the Mexican government; that
frequently, upon the failure TO get ex-
tradition, the accused man has been
kidnapped and thrown into Mexican
jail, there TO die-these things are
clearly shown in an examination Of the
records, extending back no further than
1917.
Known AS Agitators.
In most Of these cases, in which the
extradition proceedings seemed weak to
else broke down completely, the men ac-
cused have been known as revolution
lists Practically all Of them are held
in general repute in Mexico and IN the
border States Of this country as pOliCCal
agiIaJOTs and TefOrmers. Many are well
known as students, philosophers, and
economists, men OF high education and
recognized brilIiance Of mind and at
tainments-
A number Of cases in which extradi-
ton has been asked by Mexico involve
men who are said TO have admitted
themselves to be anarchists and revo-
lu5fCnists OF an extreme type. Many OF
these radicals have also come under the
eminent. through a violation Of the
neutrality laws Of this Government
Several Of these are now confined in
United States penitentiaries.
Trump Up Larceny.
In most Of the cases wherein extra
dition was refused, the charges were for
such ofenses as larceny. This, yaw-
yers say, is the sort Of charge which
would be made in case the accusation
were "trumped up"
In recent months, the situation has
been complicated BY the increased &C
tivities of the radicals along the Mexi-
can border in the United States.
Complaint on the alleged abuse Of the
extradition privileges has been made TO
the Department Of Justice within the
last year bv district attorneys in the
border territory. The result has been
more rigid eXaCtiOns in order that the
interest Of the accused might be fully
protected

A Woman Finds All Her
Energy and Ambition
Slipping Away

Rapid City women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fail make life burden.
Backache, hip pains, headache, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
all tell OF sick kidneys and warn you
of the stealthy approach of diabetes,
dropsy and Bright's disease. Doan's
Kidney Pills permanently cure all
these disorders. Here's proof of it in
a Rapid City woman's words:
Mrs. Mary A. Bishop, 1913 Riverside
ST., Rapid City, S. OAK, says: II can
not give Doan's Kidney Pills too much
praise for know them to be an ideal
kidney medicine. i suffered intensely
from backache and often found it
difficult to stoop or do any work that
brought the muscles Of my loins into
play. The kidney secretions also
caused me much annoyance and
rested poorly. Doan's kidney Pills,
procured at Phillips q Knox's Drug
Store, improved my condition greatly.
For sale by all dealers.
