?sTernor (town Ton? dm Goreraor FJease's Reqaisitisn FOR ATLANTA LAWYER) The Decision at Hearing in Atlanta Thursday Based on Contention of Felder'ti Lawyers that the Papers from .South Carolina Executive Were Inadequate. ?Govern!):: Brown, of Georgia, on Thursday refused to honor requisi tion papers, issued by Governor Blease, of South Carolina, for Thos. B. Felde::, an Atlanta attorney, for whom a warrant has been sworn out in Newbarry, S. C., charging him with attempted bribery of H. H. Ev ans, -a former member of the old State dispensary board. The contention of Mr. Foldtr's a> torneys, that the requisition papers were inadequate because they lacked affidavits to indicate that any per son had specific knowledge of the alleged offence, was sustained by Governor Brown. The papers merely included a copy of a warrant charging that "one B. F. Kelly, from information presented to him,, believed T. B. Felder, on the ? of October, 1905," offered or promised, "certain gratuities or gifts," tc iff. H. Evans. When Governor Brown told Mr Felder that he had denied extradi tion, the latter replied that he "prob ably would be going to South Oaro lina very soon" on his own accord. He declared h:'s Innocence of any at tempt tc ?ribe and asserted that the ?warrant '.pas merely a subtefuge on the part of his enemies to get him into the State. "I would like to see your creden tials," demanded Mr. Felder, when W. A. FiOlman, of Charleston, S. C, arose to address the Governor to ar gue for honoring the requisition. * "i want to know who is back of tneae charges.7 I am here merely as a lawyer re present! a? the soveri,gn State of South Carolina," replied Mr. Holman. "As tc anything hack of these charg es, I know nothing. My credentials, as you nil! see, ere signed by Gov . arnor Blease." r.,. Mr. Eclman asserted that the Con stitution of the United States left the Executive of a sister state no dlsce tion in the matter, when the Execu tive of one State issued a requisition upon the other for a person in anoth er State. "I recognize that the Constitution of the "Jaited States is the principal compeWing power," said the Govern or, "but the function of a Governor Is to protect the intercuts of citizens of his Statae when that State's laws are. not complied with." The uere fact that the papers al leging the crime charged against Mr. Fetder were accompanied by a cer tificate hearing the seal of Governor Blease, was not sufficient evidence of crisis to warrant him, he said, to gra-v: the extradition. Several prominent members of the Georgh; Bar addressed the Govern or in behalf of Mr. Felder, and cited numerous precedents in which courts in Georgia and other States had de clined requisition beoause the papers did not conform to the laws of the State upon whose Executive they were i:js;ued. The alleged cause underlying the reques: for extradition?personal an imosity between Mr. Felder and Gov. Blease resulting from differences in connection with the winding up of the old South Carolina State dispen sary system?was not brought out at the hearing which preceeded the denial of the request. It was allud ed to incidentally by Mr. Felder, who declared that he had intended to make a statement baring the entire matter, but the attorneys represent ing hin:, had found sufficient flaws in the requisition papers as to make it unnecessary to inject personalities into the proceedings. ?"It is not a matter in which per sonalities should enter," commented the Governor.

In the Daytime a Highly Respected Clii.zen and Doctor and at Night a Burglar. > By day a respected practicing phy sician and mayor of a Minnesota ci ty. By night the brains of an incen diary and robber band and using i his scientific knowledge In the prep araton of explosives to be used in felonies. This the Jekyll and Hyde personal ity the detectives believe has been revealed by the arre.it of Dr. T. T. Dumas, mayor of Cam Lake, Minn., and owner and manager of the Cass Lake-.baseball team. The mayor has bean arrested,' the warrant charging "wilful, malicious and felonious destruction of proper j ty." This followed a battle between a posse and two men caught blowing Open a safe at Puposky, near Cass J Lake. It was then anouaced by the de tectives working on ';he case and the assistant Btate fire marshal that Dr. Dumas was suspected of leading a gang which has operated in Minne sota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and ether northwestern states, and said by the police to have been employed by merchants to roh safes asd set fire, to buildings for the Insurance. It is declared to have Included sever al men of prominence in northwest ern communities. The mayor obtained his liberty by giving bond. He asserted that he was the victim of a police conspira cy and declared "some one" should suffer. He was present when the safe at his office was opened and found to contain six.sticks of dyna mite and four dynamite caps. He had hastened from the .bedside of a patient to give up tb e combination of .the safe,, so that an expert who had arrived from ISt. Pauil would not have to blow the safe open. He jok ed at the discovery. "The worst Is tey to come," was his comment. The opening of the safe was pro ceeded by a chase through the woods near Puposky after "Mike" Davis who with "Billy" Bean, was trapped by detectives at Puposky. Bean was ?wounded and captured. Davis is also wanted on changes of having killed a policeman in Chicago and another at LMJnnetonka, Minn., during rob beries several months ago. iPInkerton detectives have a sten ographic report of what they claim were the plans for the Puposky rob bery, as given the two robbers in the John Larson saloon by Mayor Dumas. A COLUMBIA MYSTERY. Body of a Negro Man Found in an Unused Well. ' The State says Columbia has another murder mystery which ^?'1 probably never be solved. Well clean ers descending in an old well In the rear of a house at 1814 Hardin street Waverly, Wednesday found the body of Edward Patterson, a negro about 40 years of age, who was employed by the Palmetto Ice Company as a driver until December 10 of last year when he disappeared. It was generally supposed that he had gone to Bdrmingham and no In vestigation was made at the time as to the cause of his disappearance. The well is located just back of the house. The house has not been oc cupied since last August. Coroner Walker made a searching investiga tion as to the cause of the death ana found that Patterson had been mur dered. His head was crushed by a heavy blow. The shirtwaist of a wo man covered his head. The body was decomposed almost beyond rec ognition. An examination by a physicia^i determined the fact that the man was a negro. Coroner Walker found that the negro had about $150 on his person the night that he was killed. He had been robbed. Many theories have been advanced as to the mo tive. No announcement has been made by Coroner Walker as to when the inquest will be held. He is working on several theories and will very probably learn something of a tangible nature. Mrs. Lea Gets Bette?*.

About nineteen Inches In height, two and a half years old, weigh ing exactly eight paunds, and par ticularly strong and bright fo{r a child of her age, Frankie May Ford ham, a little negresa, living with her parents at No. 7 Heyward's Court, is believed to be about the smallest person in the world, with perhaps one or two exceptions, says the Char leston News and Courier.

Western Republcans who have fought the reciprocity measure, tak ing up challenges thrown down by the Democratic leader, followed each other in rapid succession in their ultimatums to the senate leaders. These ultimatums were invariably that before the reoiprocity bill i? permitted to pass a Republican aer ate will be forced to undertake at revision of other schedules of the tariff, including much more than the woolen resivion bill and the free list, which have gone through the house of representatives. Of the afllrmative votes cast for the Gore motion overthrowing the finance committee, sixteen were Re publicans. Trey were Senators Bor ah, Bourne, Bristow, Brown, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins, Dixon, Gronua, Jones, Kendon, LaFollette, Nelson, Poindexter, Townsend and Worha. This included the full insurgent strength of 13 and in addition Sena tors Jones, Nelson and Townsend. Senator Myers was the only Demo crat voting with the Republicans against the motion. Notable speeches, on . reciprocity were made in both branches of con gress. Senator Root, announcing that he favored the amendment, ad vocated and explained his amend ment to the wood pulp and paper provision of the bill aronnd which amendment the reciprocity fight has centered and which amendment Pres ident Taft opposes on the ground that it might jeopardize the whole agreement. Republican leader Mann in the house attacked the Root amendment as a violation of the Ca nadian reciprocity agreement Wednesday's fight began the in stant that the wool reviston bill ap peared from the course of representa tives. Senator Gore, apparently with the approval of Democratic leaders, moved that the finance committee be instructed to report the bill back toi the senate on or before July 10. His admitted purpose was to prevent the finance committee from holding the bill indefinitely or from falling to report it at all. The result of the Gore motion was to disrupt so completely the lines, that have formed in the senate that it can not be foretold now when a vote can be reached on the reciprocity bill or whether enough votes can be mus tererd to pass it without amendment. Senators Cummings, Nelson, Craw-_ ford, La Follette, Jones and other Republican insurgents from North western States, who have opposed the reciprocity bill because of alleged dis crimination against the agricultural interest, declared that before a vote would be permitted on the reciprocity bill they would demand that the other schedules of the tariff be taken up and would Insist on an attempt to tack many of them on the reciprocity measure.
