Him to Illinois for
Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, March Tin the
ward room at the Don Jail Hospital,
Martin j. insult, former Chicago
utilities magnate. under order Of ex-
tradition, today awaited the arrival
of American authorities to return him
to Illinois to face an indictment on
charges of fraud and embezzlement
His prolonged legal battle against
extradition lost, the white-haired
prisoner was in jail for the third
time since his arrest in Barrie late
in the Autumn of 1892. Each time
previously he had been allowed his
freedom under heavy bail as he took
his fight from court to court.
"Insull is in the hospital, but is
in excellent health" Jail attend
ant said. "All prisoners over go years
old are moved into the hospital How
ever, he has no special privileges"
The attendant was not allowed to
give out many details of the restric-
tons at the Jail. The former multi
millionaire had a large, spacious room
in which to walk about and glance
through the barred windows down on
the snow-mottled Don Valley, which
borders the gray stone prison.
The deputy governor at the jail
said there had been no definite in
structions as to when the United
States authorities would come for
their prisoner.

COURT RULE SETS
COVENANTS SCOPE
Condemnation of Land for
Public Works Held Legal
Despite Restriction.

Covenants restricting the use OF
private property for business pur-
poses may not operate to prevent the
Government from condemning the
land for public works, under a de-
cision by the District Court of Ap-
peals which District officials regard
as a precedent.
Walter L. Fowler, assistant cor
poration counsel, who represented the
District in the case at issue. said
yesterday he regarded the decision as
establishing a principle as to re-
Strictive covenants.
The action was started more than
a year ago when q group Of owners
of property near Thirty ninth and
Fessenden streets filed suit in District
Supreme Court protesting condemna-
tion Of land there for the site Of
public school and claiming damages
totaling S150.000.
One of the litigants was Oswald
Bmege, third baseman Of the WASH
ington base ball team. The Chevy
Chase Land Co. and II others also
were parties to the action. They
claimed the property was covered by
a covenant limiting the use Of the
property in question and neighboring
parcels to residential purposes.
The claim was dismissed by the
lower court, and the Court of Ap-
peals upheld this decision few days
ago. The higher court held the cove
nant could not bind the District,
operating under eminent domain
powers.
1T is without weight to argue that
the future erection of schools in such
a neighborhood was not in contem-
plation of the parties, both vendor
and vendee," the court ruled.
The decision added There Is
nothing in the covenants which was
intended to restrict-or which can
operate to restrict-the public use of
the land in question for the purposes
with which we are here concerned" :"
The court held the restrictions in
the covenant against trade. business,
manufacturing and mercantile pur-
poses applied to things of the same
general character-those of business
nature. This could not be construed
to include public works. such as parks,
Fairgrounds and schools. within the
restriction, the court said.
Certainly, it would seem to stretch
violently the use Of language to hold
it banned parks. Fairgrounds, roads
and schools" the opinion concluded.

COTTON BILL RANK,
DECLARE ENEMIES
Penalty Clause Tyrannical,
Vicious and Brutal, View
of McGugin.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A running attack was made on the
Bankhead compulsory cotton control
bill yesterday in the House after an
agreement was reached for a vote
on passage Monday.
The measure was branded by
Democratic and Republican opponents
as tyranny and opening the door
TO the penitentiary for every cotton
farmer who may violate either the
act or regulations to be laid down
by the Secretary of Agriculture.
AS opposition piled up in both
parties, indications were that the
measure will have stiff going on the
roll call tomorrow. Notice was served
by Representative Smell of New York,
the Republican leader, that an AYE"
and may" vote will be demanded.
Criticized as FOrerunner.
Designed to reduce production and
increase prices by limiting output
in the coming crop year to 100000
bales the measure was criticized as
a forerunner of similar legislation
for compulsory regulation of wheat,
sugar and other farm commodities.
Representatives Busby, Democrat,
Mississippi, and McGugin Republi-
can. Kansas. led the fight on the
measure as it was amended to modify
penalties for violation Of its pro-
visions.
Asked by Representative Woodruff.
Republican, Michigan. If the meas
hre was not "a forerunner to legis-
lation to control tobacco, wheat,
sugar and other farm commodities"
Busby replied:
"I believe that is so. II this bill
passes I doubt if any commodity can
escape a like fate"
This BILL" McGugin charged. lis
rank Socialism. 1t is tyranny. 1t is
vicious and it is brutal. This penalty
section is the blackest title of all"
McGugin referred to the provision
that levied penalty of $4,000 fne
and two years Imprisonment or both
for violation of any part of the act
or any regulation issued under it by
the Secretary of Agriculture.
Penalty Clause Changed.
Chairman Jones, Democrat, Of Texas,
of the Agriculture Committee then
offered amendments which modified
It by making the maximum penalty
for "wilful violation" one year i'm
prisonment and a 81 900 fine or both,
and imposing a 5000 fine for violation
of regulations. These were adopted
after one by McGugin to reduce the
penalty for violations to a 500 fine
was defeated.
The measure imposes a tax of so
per cent of the market value ON cot
ton produced in excess Of quotas al
located to farmers. McGugin proposed
an amendment to prevent punishment
for wilful failure to pay the tax, but
st also was rejected.
In defending the bill, Chairman
Jones said that the people Of the
South must almost unanimously want

BY PANAYOTI TSALDARIS,
Prime Minister OF Greece.

ATHENS. March 17.-According to
the extradition treaty between Greece
and the United States, Samuel In
sulls case was legally closed after two
verdicts in the Greek courts against
extradition.
Nevertheless Greece's difficulties
persisted because America, through re-
iterated demarches, asked for insult S
eXtradition. We also had to take into
account the eventual difficulties which
might arise for Greeks living in
America through our insistence
against extradition.
There was no other way but to ap-
ply the undesirable aliens act and
force insult to leave Greece. insult
pretended to suffer from a serious ILL
ness. Thus the government, out OF
humanitarian motives, ordered his
examination by medical officials and
then by two professors of medicine.
I can now reveal that the second
examinations verdict was that In
sull was able to travel, but that there
was still certain danger for him
through physical disturbance There
Greece within fixed period.
A question has arisen as to why the
Greek government persists in insults
arrest The answer is because insult
did not leave, but ran away, thus
transgressing the laws. Notably certain
clauses Of the aliens act regulating
departures. There was also the ques-
tion Of prestige for Greece, whose
hospitality insult abused
For these reasons We ordered the
ship carrying him to return here,
since the ship was still near the
Greek seas. Within "a hours after
his arrival insult will be ordered to
leave Greek soil, but he will leave
according to law.

CHINESE BUYING
. MORE GOODS
FROM j. s.

Apparently due to dollar deval.
uation, American markets in
China are swiftly being revived
Chinese Maritime Customs figures
for foreign trade in the first six
months Of 1884 show imports from
the United States gained only
slightly compared with the like
period last year, but imports from
virtually every other important
commercial power showed sub
stantial declines. Exports to the
United States during the first half
were somewhat smaller, in the
face of larger Chinese sales to
many other countries.
Total turnover Of Chinese for
.eiGn trade amounted to 1898, 1884,
$50, a decrease of 1929, 180, 1854
from the like period last year. OF
the total turnover. net imports
amounted to $569, 849, 1886 and net
exports to $263,544,714.
Balance Smaller
It is usual for China to show an
import trade balance, but the fig
ure Of 1901, 305,122 was $174,336,
444 lower than last year due to a
drastic decline in imports. Exports,
too. were slightly smaller.
Despite the fact that the most
noticeable slump in imports APP
peared in cereals and flour, partly
due to increased customs duties,
this classification again was the
largest among imports, the total
being placed at $77,823 ,305, COM
pared with $197 ,497 1904 in the first
six months of 1888. Gains were
shown in imports of raw cotton,
metals, machinery and leaf tobac-
CO, the latter increasing approx
m1ately IS per cent over the like
period last year.
20 Per Cent From U. s.
Imports from the United States
were valued at $3,323,O00 more
-&an In the first half Of 1888. The
eotal of $161 ,699, 900 represented
1921 per cent of total imports.
Great Britain supplied 1915 per
cent Of total imports, but the
Value dropped $23 1903. 900 to $780,
085,000. Imports from Japan,
valued at $685. 900, a decrease
Of $13,276,00 from 1888, represent
ed 10 per cent Of the total.
On the export side, the United
States also heads the list by alb
sorbing 1899 per cent of total
.Chince exports, although the total
Of $52,911,000 exported to the
United States represented a drop
Of $1,995 900. Japan was second
with $42,071 900, decline Of ST.
