in New Jersey, fugitives from justice

introduced today by Representative
Henry (democrat of Texas, a. member

THE individuals composing the Beef
trust who have been indfcted by a
New Jersey grand jury said Mr.. Hen
ry, "are endeavoring to hide behind
the proposition that they have tram
sacted no business in the state Of
New Jersey and could not therefore
have committed a crime there because
they were not personally present. This
is an old dodge. an elusive method of
escaping punishment"
The Henry bill provides that the
demand of an executive authority of
one state upon that of another state
and accompanied by a copy of an in
dictnent or affidavit, shall be s'indis-
putabie proof for the authorities to
act upon. 1t also provides that the
order for the arrest Of a person want
ed under these conditions Shall not
be inquired into, modified, disputed or
fnvalidated in any court or tribunal
of the state or territory to which such
person has fled or in which he is
found. nor shall any such court or
