KIDNAPING PLEA IS UPHELD CALLS FOLK LAW DREllAKER DETECTIVE MAY HAVE TO FACE TRIAL IN INDIANA. California Governor Equalizes Rights of Extradition When Requisi tion Is Issued. Sacramento, Cal.--Governor John son honored a requisition from the governor of Indiana for the return to Indianapolis of James Hosick, a de tective of Los Angeles, for trial on the charge of having kidnaped from Indianapolis John J. McNamara, held in Los Angeles in connection with the destruction of the Times newspaper office plant last October. To enable the defense to take ha beas corpus proceedings, it was agreed the requisition should not is sue until Thursdfay morning at 9 o'clock. In honoring the requisition, Gov. Johnson said: '"There is no more reason why Ho sick should not be taken back to In diannapolis to stand trial on the kid naping charge than that the McNa maras should not have been brought to California." E. J. Fleming, representing Los An geles and the defendant, argued that the governor should not grant the ex tradition because when Hosick left In diana with John J. McNamara he did so under a requisition issued by Gov ernor Johnson and honored by the governor of Indiana. He said he could show McNamara was inot kidnaped, and that the governor should consider facts, not the suffi ciency of the requisition only. Henry Seifried, special prosecuting attorney for the governor of Indiana, urging the requisition, said Indiana is sincere in desiring Hosick for trial; that a crime had been committed by the Los Angeles detective in spiriting a citizen of Indiana away without due process of law and without giving him an opportunity to exercise his rights as a citizen of Indiana. He said McNamara had been denied the right to see an attorney, and had been forcibly rushed into California.

C.-The conference report on the amended campaign publicity bill passed the house by the overwhelming vote of 283 to 27. The bill now will go to the president for his approval During, the debate Representative Rucker of Missouri, chairman of the house conferees, characterized former Governor Folk as a "lawbreaker be cause he failed to file his campaign expense account with the Missouri secretary of state." Mr. Rucker did not stop there, but added that David R. Francis and Senator Stone were in the same class, having, upon the ad vice of "distinguished lawyers" omit ted filing statements of their campaign expenses. After having paid his respects to this trio of Missouri Democrats, Rep resentative Rucker delivered a glow ing eulogy of Senator Reed, who, he said, did file a statement. In order to keep the record perfectly straight, Mr. Rucker added, "there was some controversy when he (Reed) should file it, but he did file it within the time mentioned in the law." Mr. Rucker's statements in this con nection obviously were not relished by other Missourians on the floor. They were invoked by the denunciation of some unnamed individual "from a section west of the MississippL" 50 HURT IN RAIL WRECK Big Four Passenger Train Splits in Two and Five Rear Cars Leave the Rails.

REVIEWS G. A. R. PARADE Declares Unalterable Opposition to "Nostrums of Demagogues"-Dis cusses Treaty With Great Britain and France. Rochester, N. Y.-The sight of 20. 000 veterans of the civil war, recall ing the dark days of that struggle, gave a twist to President Taft's ad dress before the G. A. R. camp fire at the national encampmenit which is being held here. Mr. Taft had come to talk of peace, and he held his address principally to this topic, but the reflection of the immense struggle which had centered about the old men .who marched be fore him in the parade contrasted in his mind the political struggle that has seethed about him for the last few months, and which was only tem porarily relieved by the adjournment of congress, and his thoughts turned naturally to this channel. He said that when he was tempted to think of his own troubles he had only to think of the troubles of Lincoln. Opposes Demagogue Reform. Mr. Taft announced himself unal terably opposed to the "nostrums" of reform which, he declared, dema gogues and theoretical extremists have advanced for the solution of the problem of concentrated wealth in this country. The president spoke to the veter ans of the Grand Army of the Repub lic and he found in the struggle which they went through 50 years ago and the one he said now confronts this nation, a striking analogy, although the struggle of to-day, he declared. would Fe bloodless. In the end, the president said, the peace-loving, straight-thinking people of the country would be victorious, but the fight itself might be the long er because it would be fought with out bloodshed and the roar of the bate tiefield. Discusses Arbitration Treaties. Peace was really the subject of the president's speech to the veterans: but he said he could not miss an op portunity to draw an analogy between the contests of the past and those of the present and the near future. He also discussed, briefly, the general arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France, which the senate foreign relations committee sought to amend, and which part of the committee la. beled "breeders of war."
