about In a sea of debate with the Re-

the present one. The Senate Repub-
ilicans declared again they were pre-
pared to talk off vote until March A.
Some indications Of the wearing
effects of the long fight were coming
out In the Senate, however, and Sem
ator Reed, one OF the administration
Democrats, proposed an order for the
arrest Of all the absentees; in short
he proposed to bring everyone OF the
ninety-six senators into the chamber
and keep them there until the bill
was disposed Of. His proposal drew
a roaring attack and gave prospect
OF furnishing material for an all
days debate. Meanwhile the ship
purchase bill itself was waiting
practically where 1t has been for the
last two weeks.
At noon the Senate had been in
session "a hours and Senator Kern,
the Democratic leader, was declaring
any motions to adjourn or recess
would be defeated. Both sides were
stout in their declarations that there
would be no more breathing spells
and no let UP until the deadlock was
broken. At that hour every member

tinction. He was born in Somerset
county. Pa, and as young man di-
vided his time between farm work
and teaching school. He served
through the Civil war and afterwards
became clerk in store in Harncts-
willie, Pa. In 1871 he went to Chicago
and became livestock and grain
merchant.
He was one of the pioneers in the
organization Of the steel industry
and was active in bringing together
the various western steel plants.
which formed the Federal Steel Com
rany. When this was absorbed by
the United States Steel Corporation
Mr.. Reanl became a director of the
corporation. Meantime. he had &C
quired large real estate interests In
Chicago and has since maintained an
active interest in financial affairs in
that city.
He was at the time Of his death \
director OF the Equitable Life ,Assur-
ance Society, the National Biscuit
Company, and the Metropolitan Trust
Company. Of New York. OF late
years no had devoted much Of his at
tcntion to building up the Carolina,
Cltnchheld and Ohio railroads in
which he was a large stockholder.
An estimate of Mr.. Ream's fortune
made in the financial district today
placed 1t at between $50,000,000
and $75.000.000. st

GEORGE w. P. HUNT,
Sheriff Jackson's Story

In an interview yesterday afternoon. shortly after the governor had denied the extradition of Frazee, Sheriff Jack son told the entire story of the csca- pade of Frazee and the events that lead to his arrest.
 According to the sheriff, for several years prior to 1910 FraZee had been suspected as the leader of a gang of eight men who were thought to be cat tie rustlers The authorities were un- able to hang the depredations on him until he was caught in Denver, Colo with a herd of 22 cattle with q well known brand on them, which estab- 'ished in the eyes of the law beyond q doubt the guilt of F'razee.
 He was arrested and taken back to Laramie and held in $500 bond. His father and mother who were the pro- prietors of a small store went on his bail bond. which he subsequently, jumped. necessitating the forfeiture Of practically all the assets of the aged couple. Since then they have had prac- ticaily nothing
 After Frazee had decamped. the country was secured in an effort to To- cate the where8 bouts of the fugitive. Detectives from the Pinkerton agency were employed for some time. and a large sum of money spent by the coun- tv but without results
 w. NJ. Powell, one of the gang of which FraZee was the leader and who was arrested at the same time came to trial but was acquitted, the state be ing unable to obtain a conviction ow- ing to lack Of evidence Frazee being the chief witness.
 A short time ago. Bert Powell a constable in Bisbee became suspicious of the identity of Smith" the name under which Frazee had lived since coming to Arizona and wired Sheriff Jackson asking him if he held a war rant for a man named "Frazelr' Through a friend in Douglas. the con- stable had become possessed of the in formation that a man of that name, whose description coincided with that of smith" was wanted in Laramie The sheriff answered that he wanted a man named F'raZee and to hold the sus- pected one until he arrived
 At the intercedence of Tom Hood, secretary of the Cochise Stock Crow erS' association, the governor released FraZee for the reasons given above.
 Considerable money has been spent by the Wyoming authorities to locate and take F'razee back to Wyoming for trial and the refusal of the state au- thorities to permit his eXtradition caused the northern sheriff consider able annoyance.
 Sheriff Jackson was accompanied by a life long friend of Frazees, who came for the purposes of identification. He positively identified F'raZee as the man the Wyoming authorities wanted, but Frazee disclaimed any former ac- quaintance with the sheriffs friend

GOVERNOR DENIES ACQUISITION FOR
 RETURN OF fRAztE
Holds That Ends of Justice Have AL ready Been Subserved-Sheriff Jack son Tells of Frazee's Escapades in Wyoming Before Coming
 to This State

On the ground that the ends of jus tice had been fully subserved, Gov. Hunt yesterday denied the requisition of the governor of Wyoming for the the extradition of one William FraZee wanted on a charge of grand larceny.
 Relative to his action in the case, Gov Hunt yesterday issued the follow ing statement:
 This is to certify that MT. Carl Jackson. as agent of the state of Wy oming appeared before me this date, April 23, 1915, and presented the requi- sition of the governor of Wyoming for the extradition Of one William FreZee, who stands charged in the state of wy oming with the crime of grand larceny.
 Tt is further certified that. a fter a hearing on the application for extradi- ton, at which both sides were repre- sented by counsel, the custody of the aforesaid William F'razee was denied to the aforesaid Carl Jackson, as agent of the state of Wyoming.
 The denial of this acquisition was based broadly, upon the ground that the alleged fugitive, William F'razee, mentioned heretofore, has, for the past four years, been a resident of exam plarv conduct in the state of Arizona, has gained the respect of his numerous associates in the city of Douglas, and has shown no tendency toward revert ing to a life of laWlessness. It is, con- sequently, my firm belief that the ends of justice have been fully subserved, and that the purpose of any punish ment that might have been inflicted for the offense originally alleged to have been committed has been properly full filled.
