ing Assistant District Attorney James
B. Archer stated that the committing
magistrate had jurisdiction. which
was final II the evidence showed suf-
ficient proof to hold the accused for
the action OF the grand jury and II
the offense had been committed IN
this country.
Interrupting Mr. Archer, Chief Jus
tice Smyth OF the Court Of Appeals
said: 'In extradition cases, don't you
have to go further than that and
show that the, crime has really been
committed and that the defendant is
probably guilty?'
Mr.. Archer said that false repre-
'sentations were made by Godsol in
this country for the purpose Of de
frauding France, and that the fraud
had been committed in this country.
He eontended that the prosecution
can only be where the crime had been
committed, and thar the crime has
been committed where the money was
obtained under false pretenses.
Godsols side Of the argument wa
presented by Attorneys Wilton Lam
bert, ]. ]. Darlington and former
Senator Joseph W. Bailey. Attorney
Benjamin Minor concluded for the
Government. -,
II the Court OF Appeals should de-
eide against Godsol his extradition TO
France under Justice Hitz's order

MAY CLOSE GODSOL
ARGUMENTS TODAY

Arguments in the GodsoI case were
continued before the Court Of Appeals
today and will probably be finished
late this afternoon.
The case involves the question Of
Frank J. GodsoIs extradition to
France to answer charges preferred
against him by the French ambassa-
dor here to the effect that he obtained
$1,5OO,OO0 from the French govern
ment by false prestenses.
The preliminary hearing was before
Justice Hitz, sitting as a committing
magistrate; and on a petition for ha-
beas corpus. Godsol was released
from custody by Justice Gould.
The issue in argument before the
Court OF Appeals is whether Godsol
should have been released on the pc
tition for habeas corpus In present.

The Buyer Not To BE Goat.

IT is nothing but common sense.

buyer will invest II he has reason to
feel that a house has been constructed
at the lowest possible price, and that
he is paying for something that will
not be q heavy loss on his hands IL
normal conditions Of building return.
with the knowledge that the buyer
has this before him all the time, il
takes only ordinary brains to under
stand that TO interest him he must
know that all the factors in construc-
tion must have worked together to
give him something that he can afford
to invest in without becoming a loser.
The situation in the city has its
psychological bearings. Right now
nearly everybody is apprehensive If
building can once be started the bug
aboo will cease TO exist and then a
healthy swing will start To swat the
bugaboo on the head there must be an
equitable adjustment of all interests
involved-a mutually fair agreement
that will restore confidence and en-
able the buyer TO feel that he is not
the goat Such an agreement IL pos
sible Good men are working to bring
II about and labOr's best men are in

will put the blame on Washington

The highest percentage of physical
fitness comes from the Middle West,

John Barleycorn, accused of so

in causing physical reflections. his
percentage being only one-tenth OF /

the largest number of reflections, each
claiming more than 10 per cent of the
total disqualified. The famed fiat

OF BUILDING
URGED TOAD
UNEMPLOYED
By BILL PRICE.

Z Business men Of this town who
are seriously and earnestly trying to
have building operations resumed
are looking into the future from ra-
tiOnal as well as local motives.
1t is not wholly a question of
wanting to see Washington forge
ahead by construction of accommo-
dations for the increasing popula-
ton The big question in the minds
of all is the wisdom Of finding en-
ployment for the skilled workman; /;
to get away from the evils OF Un-
employment; TO lend a helping hand
TO serious-minded men in every walk
Of life who want to avoid the evils
that come in the train of idleness
and radical agitation.
1t is no secret, too, that labor
leaders themselves, the able men
whose minds go beyond today, are
beginning to feel that labor must
stretch out the hand OF cooperation
give patriotic, genuine efficiency
in return for. the hazards OF money
the builder takes when he invests
in enterprise.
What the Disease Il.
The Board OF Trade and the local
real estate organization have both
appointed committees to investigate
and report upon the cessation OF
building, with recommendations that
may lead to a resumption OF construc-
tion activities. Both organizations
and all intelligent men understand
hat a bad situation exists here
Building has absolutely ceased. The
city needs new homes. Home buyers
are awaiting opportunity to invest,
il the homes can be built and sold at
reasonable figures. Something must
be done.
Hunting for the cause OF the
trouble they are not hard to
find The man who has build
ing material to sell is living in 1915,
the year OF big profits, when the bulk
Of those with something to sell made
the consumer tote" the burden. The
material man believes the builder will
be compelled to begin operations soon
So he stands pat on prices, has no
idea OF reducing his profits.
The builder has been accustomed to
pretty good margins Of profits when
he finishes a house. Naturally he
would like to make good profits this
year.
And then there is labor, one Of the
three elements in all building-labor.
material and money.
when the builder begins to look

that has given us an entire; people
united in war, and satisfaction in
the revelation that a peacefuI ma
ton, ambitious for its own prosperity
and happiness, can none the less be
relied upon in time Of national danger

a defensive army" e. p

around he is told that the labor or
gantzatiOns are not contented with
present wages-the wages that came
with the war. It is waiting, he hears,
until building is once started. and
then will strike for still higher
wages.
The builder turns IL all over in his
mind. First, the insistence Of the ma
terial man on present prices, no shaw
ing Of profits; next the talk that il
he puts his money into a row Of good
houses and begins work labor will
strike on him for higher wages. He
shakes his head and declares that he
cannot afford to take all the RESPONSE
bility. He stands pat. Sometimes he
leaves town. Several builders have
left the city.
The builder, usually a man Of nerve,
has not the nerve to tackle anything
big. The city suffers, the Iaboriug
man goes without work; nobody gets
any dement's.
There must be a compromise some
way, somehow, real estate men today
declare. The factors that are mainly
interested must get together; have a
frank and fair understanding.
The Washington times., 1919-02-05
The Remedy Proposed.

As a basis for this, one OF the
brightest men in the construction
business in Washington offers this
solution: An agreement by which
the material men will shave to the
bone their profits: the builder to cut
his profits to a lower figure than he
has ever before made; labor to be paid
existing prices, but to promise eight
hours Of the best work IL can give,
and no attempt to hoist wages in the
middle OF a job.
From the surface of things in
Washington it looks as If build
ers and investors are really in
earnest in declaring that they do not
wish to see wages lowered now. They
know that the laboring man is en-
titled to sufficient wages to maintain
himself and family in reasonable COM
fort. So far there is no suggestion
that he should lower wages.
The fear is that he will become dis
satisfied and quit or that his dissatis-
faction will cause a lowering of his
efficiency
