EXTRAD|T|ONNOT ASKED FOR OROzCO United States Has Not De-
 cided What to Do ARE SENT TO MARTA Revolutionary Situation in Sonora Is Fast Approaching Crisis.
 Yaqui Indians Capture
 Town in Sonora
ARE SENT TO MARTA

Washington. September 1S-No re- quest for extradition of Col Pascual Orozco, Sr or any of the other Mexi- can insurrectos captured on American soil has been received by the state de- partment which is the only agency au- thorized to act in extradition cases, nor has the Mexican embassy been instruct cd to apply for warrants.
 Colonel Orozco and four rebel lead CTS, Flores, Caballero, Valdez and Rochim, were sent today by Captain Mitchell, whose men captured them, from Preside to Maria, Tex. Other pris- oners of less importance have been re- leased.
 While the United States has not de- cided what to do with Orozco and others of the sahe kind, 1t seems certain they will not be allowed to resume their acts against the Mexican government. If they were arrested without arms, or not as constituting part of military ex- petition, probably they cannot be held as military prisoners.
 There Is no doubt that they can be held by officers of the department of commerce and labor, under the immi- grafton laws, on a general charge or being undesirable aliens. If they should threaten trouble or refuse to abstain from further acts of hostility against the Mexican government American inn migration officials would be privileged to deport them at any point they chose, which might be easily some place in the possession of the federal troops.

 they are equally justified in giving it whenever it Is asked. Take this ex- ample, if you please of the virus that is in our system under republican rule In the state of Maine the Bangor and Aroostock railroad paid $1OO,0O0 year taxes. By legislative authority S95,000 of this money was rebated to the rail- road under condition that the railroad should haul the troops of Maine free of charge In the event of war with Canada. Under the democratic admin istration this graft stopped and the railroad was told that in the event of war regular rates would be paid for the transportation of troops.
 Special privilege will not treat it's own people as decently as it treats others. The United States Steel cor poration sold its armor plate at Ports- mouth. England, for the Japanese navy at 50 per cent of the price 1t charged the United States government and don't blame it for doing so. A gov ernment that hands an industry q bludgeon with which to knock down it's own citizens ought itself to be knocked down. This is one bit of easy money that I do not begrudge the United States Steel corporation.
