TO EXTRAD|TE
|NSULL, SR.
State Department Proceeds on
Theory New Treaty With
Greece Is Effective

The State Department, act
ing through the charge DAT
flares of the American legation
at Athens, will press for an
early return of Samuel insult,
sr., to the United States to face
trial in Illinois on indictments
charging him with larceny and
embezzlcment.
The mechanics of formally gain
ing custody over the former public
utilities potentate may take sew
eral weeks, 1t was estimated in
official circles here today.
The legal division Of the State
Department was busy drawing up
the legal papers, the contents OF
which will be cabled to the Amer
lean legation to be presented TO
the Greek authorities.
These papers will set forth this
governments "caSe" against In
sull and will give the reasons why
this government believes insult
should be returned to this country.
Treaty Promulgated
Although formal notice Of ratifi-
cation Of the extradition treaty
negotiated by Greece and the
United States has not been filed
with this government, it is known
here that the Greek Parliament
ratified the measure last June 26,
and the treaty was promulgated
by the Athens government in the
Official Gazette of June 27.
Officials here are proceeding on
the assumption that this promul.
cation placed the treaty on a work
ing basis, even though the ex-
change of ratificationS has not
taken place here.
Indications received were that
the Greek government was will
ing to stretch a point" in the
insult case, just as the Spanish
government did in 1876, when
Spain returned Boss Tweed to
New York State for trial on
charges growing out of graft and
corruption in the New York City
government. Spain and the
United States were. then negoti-
ating an extradition treaty, but
the negotiations had not been
completed.
Up to Greek Court
In the present case both the
Greek Parliament and the U. s..
Senate have ratified the treaty.
Proceeding on the belief that the
treaty is now operative and bind
ing, the legal division of the
State Department will draw up
the legal documents demanding
insults extradition.
These will be presented to the
Greek courts when insult is given
a hearing to determine whether
he should be extradited. If the
Greek judge rules that he should
be extradited, the Greek police
will be called upon to hold him
until police officials from Cook
County, ILL.,, arrive in Athens to
take him into custody.
They will be presented, on their
arrival there, with a warrant
from the Greek foreign office
authorizing them to take insult
back to the United States.

YOUNG |NSULL
STANDS PAT

PARIS, Oct. II G.N.S0.-Sam-
uel insult, jr., today heatedly de-
Tended his action in accompany
ing his father, the former Chi
cago utilities chieftain, under in
dictment on charges of embezzle-
ment and larceny, on their flight
from Paris. He said:
"It seems most natural that
a son should travel with his
father"
Young insult shortly after 9
a. m. left the Hotel Lincoln,
where he has remained with Mrs.
insult, ST., since his return here.
AS soon as he appeared Inter
national News Service asked him
for his opinion of reports that a
grand jury was considering his
part in his fathers flight to
Greece, as well as the reported
fact that he had brought his
father $4,000 from the United
States. He replied:
81 had nothing to do but ac-
company my father when he
left here. 1 then returned to
my mother, who is ill.
II can't see what that has to
do with any allegations about
aiding flight since my father
is old enough to look after him.
self"
He revealed that for purposes
of economy he takes all his meals
at small hotels and restaurants,
but spends the rest of his time
with Mrs. insult in the Hotel Lin
coin. She is not seriously i'll, he
said.

which the "sniper" used in his
early depredations.
Further, Sergeant Wilson said,
police have information that a
gun had been seen in Greer'S
automobile. The person who gave
this report is being sought.
Among those who will confront
Greer tonight are the witnesses
to the Staying of Paul Riedel, Mt.
Pleasant baker; two high school
girls who were shot down in
Takoma Park just a short time
before Riedel was killed, and a
Government man who fell a VIC
tim to the "sniper's' gun just be-
fore he had left Riedel's bakery,
also are expected to be called to
the lineup.
Began Last Winter
The "sniper" began his reign
of terror on February 4, this
year, when shots fired from a
black bodied sedan, bearing Mary
land tags, felled Helen AndewS,
18, of the 1900 block of Sixth st.
N. W., and Doris Beall, Is, of the
140O block of G. st. S. E., as they
walked in Takoma Park, D. C.
A few hours later, Gordon T.
Backus, 46, of the 3400 block Of
Mt. Pleasant st. N. W., Gov
ernment employe, was shot in
the back as he neared his home,
carrying a pie he had purchased
at Riedel's Bakery.
Two days later, Riedel was
killed in a hold-up of his store,
witnesses saying a black-bodied
sedan bearing Maryland tags had
carried the slayer away.
After several other shooting
scares in which no one was in
jured, the sniper apparently
vanished.
Bullets All Match
Last Friday night man
answering the sniper's description
wounded j. C. Briggs in robbing
a gas station at Eleventh Street
and Rhode Island Avenue North
west. Shortly afterwards, a shot
was fired into a drug store at
Fifteenth and K Streets North
west.
Police say that the bullets taken
from all victims are of the same
caliber and from a Cursory exam
ination apparently fired from the
same type gun.

The collapse of the insult utili-

today at the meeting Of the
public utilities section OF the
American Bar Association, at the
United States Chamber Of Com
merce, when David E. Lilienthal,
of the Wisconsin Public Service
Commission, cited it as illustrat'
ing the need for regulation OF
holding companies.
Lilienthal quoted Martin j,
insult himself as declaring that
freedom of the holding company
from regulation was to the best
interest of the public. That
remark was made a year or so
ago. Commissioner Lilienthal, de-
scribing events since that time,
said:
"The sOlIapse Of a colossal
holding company last April has
done more harm to the repute
of holding companies than all
the orders and investigations
Of commissions put together.
In this one debacle thousands
of investors lost millions of

Primaries, Conventions and

BY the Associated Press.
A sixth of the present members OF
Congress don't have to worry about No
yember elections, because they already
have been eliminated as contestants.
Nominating primaries and conven-
tions and retirements, due largely to re-
apportionment of House representation
have resulted in the unusual pre-elec-
ton shift of seats Altogether, defeats
deaths, designations and retirements
indicate turnover to date of 81 seats
in both branches of Congress.
In addition, controversies over nomi-
nations involving incumbents are being
waged in some States. Mississippi's
eight seats are in court tangle over
redistricting resulting from reapportion-
ment.
In the House, whose ABS seats are
filled biennially, the reapportionment
act alone accounts for shift OF 2l
seats from 81 to IL States. Failure Of
several States to redistrict compelled
incumbents to run against each othel
in the primaries, adding to the casual
ties.

Kansas Communities Light
and Water Rates Prove
Public Boon.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, October 10
iN.A.N.AD -Four Kansas municipali-
ties levy no taxes for operation of the
city government because of profits from
municipality owned light and water
plants Two other Kansas towns are
supported in part by the profits from
their utilities.
The towns where no city taxes are
paid are Augusta, population, 2,lo3: :
Colby, 2,153. The towns where the
utilities supply in part the city ex-
penses are lola, population, 7,l60, and
Anthony, 2,947.
In these towns general satisfaction
with the system is reported. The chief
objection voiced is from heavy users OF
electricity and water, who see owners
Of large tracts of land. which do not
use light or water, escaping taxes. But
to offset the objection the towns unanl-
mously assert their light and water
rates sre as low or lower than in cities
with privately owned utilities.
Colby, for instance, where munlcl-
pally operated utilities have been in
use since 1910, reports water rates
ranking with the lowest in the State.
Its light rates are held to be on a par
with or below privately owned utilities.
In addition, the city points out, as DO
the other cities listed, all city light and
water bills are eliminated, whereas most
cities have large bills for those services.
Earnings Pay Bonds.
The net earnings of the Colby plants
In the year ending March |, 1882. were
S31.O 900 The earnings we're used to pay
off bonded indebtedness on the plants
until 1927. That year all the city S
running expenses, $4,000, were paid
out of the profits. The plants have
paid the running expenses Of the city
since, and have furnished money for
civic improvements. Only the citys
schools are supported by taxation, 1915
mills being levied.
Chanute balanced its finances nicely
2ast year with three utilities - gas,
electricity and water. The city in
come was S356,210, OF which only
S2OO50 did not come from the utilities.
The city operating expenses were $685.
