Washington, Jan. 1.—It is proba- ble that steps will soon be taken by the Department of State tasecure a revision and remodeling of the exist- ing extradition treaties with France and Germany. Recent events have dravx attention to some ver, serious defects in the old conventions, and {tis feared that before long France and Germany will become havens of refuge for a certain class of American criminals. Within the past fortnight the chief of police of Hoboken cabled @ request to the Paris municipal au- thorities to arrest and return to the United States a mun named Sasola on the charge of grand larceny. The French authorities were surprised at this request, coming, not through the American embassy, but from a quar- ter officially unknown to the French government. Bow street officers fre- quently locate and place under sur- velliance fugitives from justice in New York upon the cabled request of the New York chief of police, but they do not attempt to arrest them unless the American embassy itself makes therequest? So likewise the Parisian authorities turned to the American embassy and, finding that noregular application had been made for Sasola’s extradition, placed him at liberty. It happened that in the course of aire-ridden Pennsylvania can be funny sometimes. Why is Mr. Groves called “the Negro Potato King?” Let me an- swer. Last year he produced upon his Wyandotte county, Kaueas, farm 72,150 bushels of white potatoes, averaging 245 bushels.to the acre. So far as reports show, this was 12,- 150 bushels more than any other in- dividual grower in the world produc- ed. And besides the potatoes raised on his own farm Mr. Groves buys and ships potatoes on a large scale. Last year he bought from white growers in the Kaw valley and ship- ped away twenty-two cars of white potatoes. He also bought fourteen cars of fancy seed potatoes in North and South Dakota, which he sold to growers in the Kaw valley and in Oklahoma and the Indian territory. Mr. Groves says that he ships pota- toes and other farm products to nesrly every portion of the United States and to Mexico and Canada. Gra At the recent meeting of the Na- tional Negro Business league in New York Mr. Groves was asked how he was able to conduct so varied and large business enterprises, when he had had no education as a business man. “You have children, haven’t you?” Mr. Groves replied. xx:18.

A Chicago Woman a Victim of the Sun Worship Cult. Chicago, Jan. 1.—Testimony of neighbors at the inquest over the body of Mrs. Caroline Rizz, 7237 Cor- nell avenue, was that the woman, crazed by sun worship, had commit- ted suicide by soaking her garments in kerosene and, lying down on a bonfire which she had built in her backyard. The woman who was frightfully burned, died before reach- ing the county hospital. Mrs. Rizz first decorated herself with pink mbbons and strings These she tied around her head, neck, weit, arms aud ankles The knots were tied in bow shape, with long ends left to float in the breeze. The ribbons and strings were the nearest imitation to the Persian costume that Mra, Rizz could devise. She had been studying the Persian sun worship culs and had become convinced that her salvation depend- ed upon death by fire. After dreas- ing- herself in this fashion, she let down her hair and descended through a trapdoor to a small basement beneath her house. There she cover- ed herself with oil, Tais accomplish- ed, the woman built a fire in the form of a funeral pyre and threw her- self into the flames. Two policemen were a block away and heard the shrieks of the madden- ed woman, They hurried to the scene, where, with the assistance of several neighbors, they extinguished the flames, Neighborssay Mra.
