POLITICS BLAMED
SODINI'S ESCAPE
Governor Of Minnesota Does Not Grant
Extradition Papers to Rock Is

THEATRE MAN FILES CONTEST
Attorney General Intimates TO Local
Officials That ii Would Be Use
less TO Wait for Answer.

Politics today was blamed by local
authorities for their failure to bring
back from Minneapolis Harry A So
DIM, former manager of theatres in
the tri-cities, who is wanted here on a
charge OF obtaining goods under false
pretenses.
Following a hearing before Gov
ernor Burkhart of Minnesota yester-
day afternoon the attorney general of
the state intimated to States Attorney
Floyd Thompson and Detective Tom
Cox that the governor would refuse
IL grant extradition papers so that
they could bring Sodini back to Rock
Island.
1t was stated that the practice of
the governor of Minnesota has been
to refuse to grant extradition papers
in cases where a man is wanted in
another state on a charge brought be-
fore a justice of the peace, unless aft
darits Of the testimony to be intro
duced at the preliminary hearing is
presented TO him.
in cases where a man is indicted the
extradition is granted. Sodini filed a
notice OF contest through his attorney
when the local officials appeared at
the capitol Of Minnesota with requisi-
ton papers from Governor Dunno The
hearing was set for yesterday after
noon. and at its conclusion the gov
ernor announced he would take the
matter under adyisement. States At
torney Thompson went to the attorney
general and questioned him, at which
time he was given assurances it would
be futile for himself and Detective
Cox to remain there. as the eXtradition
would be denied.
Accused is Aided.
States Attorney Thompson said
that he did not know what business
enterprises Sodini is involved in in
Minneapolis, but that from general OBJ
servations practically all of the offic-
ials of the state felt kindly towards
him and aided him in his fight. The
states attorney alleges that twas I'M

HARVARD PRESIDENT
TO SCOUT LEADERS
Says Basic Principle Is Same

"The spirit Of chivalry, the salt OF
civilization" is one of the several i'm
portant things which the leaders Of
the Boy Scouts Of America are bring
ing into the lives of the boys OF this
country, according to Dr. 4. Law
renee Lowell, president Of Harvard
university
Doctor Lowell recently attended "A
meeting of four hundred scout
masters. assistant scoutmasters and
other scout officials OF greater Ios-
ton and vicinity at dinner at the
Harvard union.
1T is a privilege" said President
Lowell in his address, ito welcome
you here in this hall which is conse-
Grated 10 the purposes tor which you
are assembled. and that is for i'm
proving the character of young peo-
pie. You are founded on the same
principle, the same theory, on which
the nitod States is based. II is that
OF the inherent goodness of human
nature That principle may bc right
or II may be wrong. but no man can
accomplish anything that is worth
doing In human life who does not
believe In 1t. You are a body of men

with boys or youth cannot fail to real
iZe the possibilities that underlie the
ordinary boy or young man.
The real difficulty in life, with
young men and with boys. consists in
bringing out the heroism and ideal
ism that are latent in the boy when
there is no natural crisis to evoke
them. II we could live on our best
plane: If we could make the youth
and the boys live on the plane of their
own possibilities, this world would be
very nearly an earthly paradise. That,
| believe. rs what you are engaged
in trying TO do.
"You have taught the boys that
there is something in life worth doing
besides what is forbidden. You are
teaching them that self-disciplne and
cooperation with others bring great
deal more pleasure and open the door
to opportunity in a way that mere
pleasure seeking can never do.
Another thing which / think you
are bringing to the boys is the sort OF
chivalry which involves in itself the
spirit of sclt-respect; and the spirit
of chiNalry. to my mind, is the salt of
civilization. II is the thing, perhaps,
which we can have in our daily inter
course with one another, which ele-
Yates and ennobles and sweetens life.
And IL Is with that idea that in
the name of this university | give you
Godspeed. and hope for the utmost
success of the great work that you
have undertaken for this community
