II. S. CAN EXTRADITE
EX-KAISER, LAWYER SAYS

similar extradition treaties between
Holland and France and England does
not so much matter. The point Is that
the trial must be had.
"ln dealing with the question Of ex-
traditing William Hohenzollern from
Holland. II is necessary TO avoid tech
nical definitions OF specific crimes We
must place the emphasis upon these
crimes, which are recognized 10 be such
by all mankind. Accordingly, we must
avoid the term piracy and the term
homicide and deal only With wilful
murder on the one hand and that.
which In our own treaty with Holland.
is described as an extraditable offense,
committed on the high seas without
designating the same by specific ex-

UNDER WAY
to enlarge THE
CITY POSTOFF|CE
Idea Said to be to Erect
$3.50, 900 Wing in Rear
of Structure
ALSO MAY Sell The
OLD Federal BUILDING

With the business OF the local post
ofllce increasing over night and the
city's development exceeding all expec-
tations, It was stated today that within
short time 1t would be necessary to
enlarge the present postOfIlce.
In connection with this rumor, 1t was
stated that a Government agent had
been here for several weeks looking
over the local situation, and it is
likely that within a short time a one
story wing, costing about. $4,000. would
have to be constructed on tne Eighth
street end Of the present building. This
addition. it is said, will take care Of the
growing demands on the outgoing and
incoming mail department for years.
Another Improvement contemplated on
the main floor of the structure is an
entrance from the present corridor
from Orange street.
Ihis Will be necessary as the business
being done at the windows in the Or
ange street end OF the corridor has
caused that portion OF the building to
become cOngested frequently. II is felt
that II the corridor had an outlet into
orange street. this condition could be
eliminated.
1t was also reported today that United
states Senators Salisbury and Wolcott
will ask the next Congress to pass a
measure authorizing the sale OF the old
Federal Building at Sixth and King
streets and to have the government
utilize the proceeds Of the sale in plac-
ing an addition to the present main
building at Ninth and Shipley streets.
At the present time the old Federal
Building is used by the U. s. Employ
ment Service and the u. s. Engineer
Corps and it is felt that the government
could save considerable money by plac-
ing a one-story addition to the present
Federal Building at Ninth and Shipley
streets and have these offices removed
there.
While ony the plans for these i'm
provements are being discussed It is
stated that 1t will cost about S25OOOO
and II is thought that the greater por-
tion Of this sum could be realized In
the sale Of the old Federal Building.

interest. The young man had a good
voice which was being trained under
instructors who looked upon him as a
prospective singer Of note.
He died this fall during the epidemic
OF influenza. Some years ago Mason

pital and Mr.. dupont never overlooked
the fact.
The money Is Immediately available,

ing set aside for maintenance.

HIGHWAYMAN ATTEMPTS
TO HOLD UP A CAR

A h~ighwayman attempted to hold up
a motor car filled with men and wom-
en-, Sunday evening about $3.50 O'Clock,
on the Mexico-Auxvasse road just
where it leaves this county and enters
Galloway, south Of Mexico. DIR. and
Mrs. P. E. Coil, who were driving
home met the car which had been
threatened and were warned. They
came to this city by another road in
consequence.
DR.. Coil told Sheriff Ford, who,
with his deputy, Chal Blum, and City
Officer William Sullivan, went to the
scene Of the attempted holdup later,
but failed to find the thief, that the
man driving the car which the high
wayman had ordered to halt had
warned him he had better not follow
the road into this city and told him Of
the attempted holdup.
He was driving along at a moderate
speed when a mar stepped into the
road and pointing a gun at the driver
ordered him to stop. Instead Of fol.
lowing the order the driver threw on
speed and knocked the highwayman
down with the front fender of the car
DR.. Coil, who had quite a little
money on his person, and Mrs. Coil
who was wearing her handsome dia-
monds decided the safe thing to dc
was to return to Mexico by another
road. The officers failed to find q
trace Of the highwayman.

NEW HIGHWAY BRIDGE
(Centralia Guard)

The Centraia special road commits
sioners have been trying for a long
time to get a new bridge constructed
over Young's Creek cast of Centra.ia
and this spring the Audrain county
Court ordered one for this point, as
the bridge is in Audrain county.
A steel bridge was contemplated but
none Of the bridge companies would
make prices on a steel structure Of
the length required and would not
guarantee the delivery of steel for a
bridge of shorter length. This would
mean months of delay. So the COM
m%issioners and the AudIain court de-
cided to put in a steel reinforced con-
crete bridge and it is expected that
bids will be asked for on September
l, and the construction commenced at
an early date.
The new bridge will be about sixty
five feet long and will 90 across the
stream straight east and west, being
placed south of the old bridge which
sets off and makes a jog in the road
that is dangerous in these days of fast
travel. The new bridge will eliminate
the double curve, which is very bad, on
the east side Of the creek. This change
will also cut down the risk of bad acct
dents at this point where there are
tees and underbrush that obscure the
roadway on both sides of the creek.
The Centralia Commissioners will
cut down the big hill on the west side
of the creek and use the dirt so remov-
ed to bring the roadway up out of the
high water danger. We presume they
will also make the new bridge floor
higher than that of the old one, be-
cause the creek has at times covered
the floor Of the old one and flooded
the roadway so as to make it almost
impossible to cross on the west side OF
the bridge with either horse drawn or
motor vehicles.
The Audrain court pays the expense
of building the bridge and the special
road district pays for the labor on the
road on this side of the bridge.
The old bridge is about ready to fall
in and we understand has been or viii
be condemned.
