ITALY NOT TO GRANT
EXTRAD|T|ON Of COCCH|

ROME. Tuesday, October 9.-After long
consideration the Italian government has
decided not to grant the extradition of
Alfredo Cocchi, who killed Ruth Cruger
in New York
The government has come to the con-
clusion that it is impossible to permit
Cocchi's extradition and regret is ex-
pressed that it is unable to meet the
wishes Of the American authorities. EN-
manuel Fino, a lawyer, who has been
acting as representative of the New York
district attorney, is now endeavoring to
arrange the sending Of Cocchi to the
United States under arrest to give testi-
mony in regard to his reported associa-
tions with members of the New York po-
lice department.
Cocchi fed to his old home in Bologna
after the disappearance of Ruth Cruger
last February, and being arrested, con-
fessed to the murder. Because Of the pro-
visions of the Italian penal code and the
lack of proof that Cocchi was an Ameri-
can citizen it was indicated shortly after
his arrest last summer that his extradi-
ton probably could not be brought about.

RECKLESS AUTO DRIVERS

Right to Operate Cars Lost by Four
Owners Today at Session of
Commissioners.

Putting into immediate execution his
declaration yesterday in favor of
heavier penalties for violation of the
Districts traffic regulations. Commits
sioner Gardiner, at his first regular
board meeting today. voted with the
other members of the board to revoke
the licenses of four automobile owners.
who had been convicted of violating
the regulations.
While today's action did not originate
new policy with the board. which
has revoked seventeen licenses since
September l. it left no room for doubt
that the District executive heads will
be a unit in pursuing drastic measures
to put an end to street accidents caused
by careless driving.
You cannot put it too strong that
we are going after the reckless driver.
said Commissioner Gardiner. He has
no place on our streets and we will re-
woke his license as fast as we dis
cover him.
1t is understood that the Commits
sioners will not be guided solely by
Police Court convictions in taking ac
ton of this sort. Where evidence is
presented that drivers are reckless or
are accustomed to driving when under
the influence of intoXicants, they will
be deprived of their licenses, it is un-

TELEGRAM TO FOREIGN OFFICE.

Secretary Lansing said the kilograms
had not been sent through the State
Department thus leaving the inference
that they must have moved through one
of the neutral legations
Presumably these papers form part Of
those taken by the American secret
service men in the safe and in the Of
flee of Wolf Won Igel in New York. That
Count Bernstorf was fully aware OF the
intimate danger in which he personally
was placed by the raid on the secret
German files is now recalled by news
paper men who had daily relations with
him. He did not hesitate to express his
belief that his official tenure in Wash
fngton was bound to be very short.
When reminded that nothing in the
state of the negotiations then in prog
ress between his embassy and the State
Department regarding interference with
American commerce indicated any such
critical situation, he hinted that there
were other matters. not published. that
might cause trouble, and that he him
self might be the victim of misrepre-
sentation to the State Department
In preceding correspondence made
public by the State Department, Count
Bernstorff has been connected with
the French traitor Bolo, whom he sup
piled with funds to corrupt the French
press and to strengthen the peace party
in France.
Today's disclosures follow naturally,
developing the former ambassador s
close connection with the extensive sa :
botage which prevails to some extent in
the United States and TO a larger de-
gree in Canada, with the purpose of
crippling the sources of munitions and
food supplies for the entente allies and
also of wrecking Canadian troop trains
bound for the seaboard. For this pur-
pose Bernstorff was to have all neces-
sary funds, and was to employ Ameri-
cans as his agents in this underhand
