HANCOCK, Wis., December 21.—Ar- rangements were under way last night for the surrender of Elmer S. Huckins, missing “financial wizard,” sought on a fraud warrant, as soon as certified copics of the warrant are received here from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. R. A. Milner of Cedar Rapids, an attorney for Huckins, who left his es- tate near here earlier in the week and has not since been located, indicated that Huckins would submit to arrest under fugitive proceedings, which would necessitate an extradition hearing be- fore Gov. Kohler. The governor now is 11l at Rochester, Minn., and the case probably could not come before him for several weeks. Milner said he had reached an agree- ment for the amount of bail to be furnished. The certified warrant is ex- pected here probably tomorrow after- noon or Monday, and Milner said the financier would surrender then. “Fire Danger Lurks i n Christmas Tree Decorations!” Warns Chief Engineer Danger of fire lurks in many of the tnxpfnp of the Christmas celebrations and in many of the practices attend- ant, to_a_warning by Chief George S.
