DYNAMITINC
CASE WITHOUT
A PRECEDENT

Washington, Feb. 3.-The Van Horn
or Horne case presents some novel
features and in some respects Is
without precedent. In time OF peace
and under normal conditions the mat
ter would be simple. for the crime Is
covered in Paragraph Il. Article ! OF
the supplementary extradition treaty
of 1870 between the United States and
Great Britain, negotiated by Secretary
Hay and Ambassador Pauncefote.
That article adds to the list of crimes
for which extradition may be de-
manded. included In the original treaty
Of 1899. the following:
''Wilful and unlawful destruction or
obstruction Of railroads which encan-
ger human life"
But Van Horn is reported TO have
set up the plea that his ofense was
political ard Article Of the treaty
of 1899 reads: a fugitive criminal
shall not be surrendered. if the Of
tense in respect Of which his surren-
der is demanded be one Of political
character or if he proves that the re-
QUESTION for his surrender has IN fac>
ueen made with q view to try and pun
isa him for an offense Of a political
chara cter."
So the question undoubtedly will be
whether Van Horns effort 10 cut a
railroad through which his country's
enemy receives munitions of war and
endorsements can be considered as 3
political ofense
A commissioner designated by the
department Of justice will hear the
case. II he decides Van Horn is not
guilty Of the offense with which he IS
charged and orders him relea sed the
state department may not be called
on fer any action. but if the commits
sioner holds that sxtradition should
be granted. an appeal will lie 10 the
department.
