Washington, Sept. 24.-Attorney
General McReynolds favors the con-

FOR Y.M.C.A. FUND
SUBSCRIPTION COMMITTEE WILL
MAKE EFFORT TO RAISE
BALANCE THIS WEEK.

With approximately $4,000 yet to
be subscribed to the Y. M. c. A. build
ing fund, before the required $4,000
Is Pledged, the subscription commit
tee of the board of directors of the as
ISOLATION decided at meeting held
Tuesday night to make a determined
effort to secure the necessary amount
within the next few days, and each
member of the committee will work
independently to secure subscriptions
from prospective contributors and re-
port at meeting to be held next Mon
day night. 1t is believed that the ne
cessary amount will be pledged by that
time, after which the directors can de-
vote their attention to other matters
preliminary to the details of site and
building.
Any doubt that the building fund
would be raised has long since been
dispelled, but as the raising of the last
few thousand or hundred dollars is
always the hardest pull in movements
of this kind. the subscriptions are ma
turally harder to secure now on ac-
count of the narrow field of prospects.
Therefore, it is the desire of the COM
mittee that every one who has promis-
ed to do something later" and those
who have not been solicited, but are
willing and want to aid in the move
ment, will render their assistance now
and help put the load over the hill

Club rooms Thursday night when Of

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 24.-"There is

opinion and public sentiment, he ask
ed the governor to exercise broad dis
cretion in dealing with the case.
Mr.. Jerome began his reply by say
ing that while he had listened to
many arguments in many tribunals he
never had heard a more extraordinary
argument advanced than that of Mr..
Morris, that in a forced and fraudu-
lent public opinion the governor Of
New Hampshire could and should find
a reason or an excuse for disregarding
the petition for a writ of extradition
and for refusing to perform a duty
laid upon him by the constitution OF
the United State.
He then quoted from decisions OF
the United States supreme court to
show that the process of extradition
covered every offense punishable by
law, and that the certificate of the
requesting governor was all the au
thority as to the crime committed
that was needed by the governor upon
whom the request was made
