CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—If General Ezeta't object in coming to Washington Is, as stated, to intervene in behalf of Colonel Cien fugos, who was held by Judge Morrow fot extradition on a charge of murder, his visil is likely to prove fruitless. While the sec- retary of state Is not absolutely bound te grant extradit s by the action of a United States commissioner or court, his power to revise their findings is rarely exer- cised and only in cases where a very strong case |8 made for the accused or new evidence is presented. The hearing before Judge Morrow is regarded as having been very full and fair, and it Is extremely improbable that anything General Ezeta can adduce will move the State department o refuse Clen- Washing Star: “Dalan duty in ¢ n's clothes (y safil a member of the for “How did he got Terrible.
