MRS. .CANADAY
FACES WARRANT
San Antonio Woman Be.
lieves Extradition
Will be Refused
CBy The Associated Press,

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug 22.-Ad-
vised today by the Associated Press that
q New York police woman is enroute to
San Antonio with requisition, signed
by Governor Smith, for her extradition
to New York for kidnapping her son,
Roscoe, Mrs. Roscoe Canaday expressed
surprise but added she is confident the
requisition will not be honored by Gov
ernor Ferguson.
She bases this belief on the fact that
no law in Texas makes it illegal for a
parent to kidnap its own child, as she
learned when the father took Roscoe
'Jr, from her home, here and sped with
him to New York.
After Roscoe Canaday Sr., Kidnapped
the child in San Antonio the mother fol-
lowed him to New York and re-kid-
naped the boy from his grandmother s
home on Long Island, hurrying back
to Texas in fast automobiles.

BRITISH SEAMEN
OUT ON STRIKE
Illegal Action Planned
By Reds to Tie Up
Ships, is Charge
(Bv The Associated Press.l

LONDON, Aug. 22.-An unoffirial
strike has broken out in London and
elsewhere and threatens to spread and
affect British ships iE foreign ports, as
it already has done in Australia.
The trouble has arisen through the
men having repudiated the recent agree
ment between the two seamen's unions
and the employers for. reduction of
wages by one pouad sterling monthly.
The strike committee says that $4,000
men are involved and that 35 ships are
already being held up in London.
The Daily Mail says the strike is
due to a plot engineered by communist
leaders who aim to bring to standstill
British shipping abroad. The news
paper asserts that the communists sent
messages to Bolshevik agents in Austria
liza, India, South Africa, Canada and
the United States, instructing them to
tell the seamen when they return from
their present voyages.
Reports from Australia say the strike
of the seamen there is rapidly spreading
and that many ships are being held in
port through lack of men to handle
them. The movement is being fostered
by Tom Walsh, leader of the recent
Australian shipping strike.
British ship owners have cabled
Premier Bruce of Australia explaining
their agreement with the seamen and
urging him to prevent illegal persua-
sion to break contracts. Havelock Will
son, president Of the National seamens
union, also telegraphed Bruce, repudiat-
ing the interference Of Walsh.

terrible occurrence and am grief
stricken over it." Magee told news
tpapermen. He received bruises about
the face and body and Leahy's upper
left arm was shattered by the second
bullet
Has Had Stormy Career
The fight and shooting closed another
chapter in the high tension career Of
Magee. In July 1923 he was cony icted
Of libel by a jury in Judge Leahy's
court in connection with the publication
of editorial attacks on Chief Justice
.. W. Parker of the New Mexico su-
preme court. Sentenced to prison by
Leahy, he was pardoned by the then
governor James F. Hinkle before being
taken to the penitentiary.
year later he was called into court
by Leahy for editorially criticizing the
court while other charges in connection
with the libel case were pending. This
time it was contempt case Leahy held
him in contempt and sentenced him to
three months Imprisonment. In pro-
nouncing sentence Judge Leahy termed
Magee a miscreant in the strongest Of
judicial terms. He served one day and
one night in Jail and Hinkle pardoned
him again. While imprisoned he is
said to have smuggled copy" to his
newspaper, maintaining the attacks on
Leahy.
Magee is credited with having aided
In starting the investigation leading to
the discovery of ''the little black
satchel" 'of Teapot Dome fame. Early
in January, 1924, he was a witness be-
fore the senate oil committee and told
the investigators Of rumors he had
heard about 100000 in suit case run
ming around in New Mexico The COM
mittee later developed evidence that the
100000 was from E. L. Doheny and was
sent to Albert B. Fall, then secretary
of the interior and negotiator of the
teapot dome and Elk Hills naval oil
leases to Doheny and Harry F. Sinclair.
Bought Paper From Fall.
Magee bought the Albuquerque Morn
ing Journal from Fall in 1920 and in
1924 gave evidence to the oil committee
regarding Falls financial condition. He
declared he had been approached with
"Doheny money" when he offered to
sell the Journal.
The contempt case was the last flare
up Of consequence between Magee and
Leahy until last night but last fall he
waged sizzling campaign against the
jurist, who lost in his fight for re-
election to the bench
In five years Of activity in the poll
tical arena of New Mexico, Magee had
been republican, democrat and indepen-
dent. He deserted the republicans IN
1920, declaring the organization corrupt.
In 1921 he turned back to the republic
ans and ran against a close personal
friend for office. but 1922 found him
