BILL TO COVER GREEN, GAYNOR CASE.
House Judiciary Committee Gives Hearing
on the Measure.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Washington May 4-The House Judi
ciary committee today gave hearing
upoin the Senate bill introduced at the
suggestion of Attorney General Griggs to
provide for the removal to the proper
district for trial of persons indicted for
offenses against the United States The
bill was prepared to cover the case of
BENJAMIN d. Greene, John F., William T.
and Edmund H. Gaynor and Michael
A. Connolly. who were indicted by the
grand jury in the Southern district of
Georgia for a conspiracy to defraud the
United States in the contracts for the
improvements at Savannah and Cumber-
land Sound The indicted persons were
arrested in New York but Judge Brown
refused TO allow their extradition to
Georgia on technical grounds. He said
that such bill applying to civil as
well as TO criminal cases might work
great hardship Persons indicted outside
the district in which they were resi-
dent could be arrested and disgraced
though innocent and he urged that if
the legislation was to be enacted it
should be carefully safeguarded. In crimi
nal cases like the Carter case at which
this legislation was aimed, he admitted
the circumstances might be different.
Chairman Ray said the real question
involved was whether it was good policy
to remove person indicted from one
jurisdiction to another on the simple pre-
sentiment Of an indictment Colonel Dud-
ley expressed the opinion that it would
be against public policy.
Abram ]. Rose declared that the dis
trict attorney had eight witnesses and
many documents in the Gaynor case be-
fore the United States Commissioner IN
New York If evidence had been pre-
scented then showing probable cause al
this difficulty would have been obViateu'
He contended that the testimony III t,ie
Carter court martial case being pupllc
property it should have been produced ue'
fore the United States Commissioner ne
Attorney Generals contention that 1ne
evidence would disclose the government
case he said would not hold
Chairman Ray said that he had re-
ceived a letter from the Attorney Gen
eraI suggesting amendments to the bill
to allow indicted persons to show as
reason for non removal that they had not
been at the place where the Indictment
had been found Mr.. Rose asked why
an alibi should be allowed to be proved
in the interest Of railroad officials. He
said il would be dangerous TO make ex-
ceptions

HON. GEO. RoUNTREE ON THE LAW
He Delivers the Annual Address Before the
University Law School.
(Snecial to News and Observer

Especial to News and observer
Chapel Hill, n. c., May 1.-The an
nual address before the University Law
School was delivered in Gerard Hall to-
night by Hon Geo. Rountree, of Whining
ton, one of the States foremost lawyers.
A large audience was present, including
every member of the first and second
year law classes.
Or. Alderman introduced Mr.. Rountree,
speaking of him as a scholar lawyer
and friend of the University. Mr.. Roun-
tree arose amid applause. After making
an elaborate sketch of our legal develop
ment the speaker deduced from that his
tory two great facts: First. that we owe
more of our law to the actions of judges
than to legislation second, that frequent
ly questions arise which can be solved
only by study Of the history of law.
Many questions must be decided by con-
siderations of public policy and practical
utility.
Mr.. Rountree dwelt at length upon the
expansiveness, the power of intelligent
growth of the common law. He expressed
the hope that sentiment which will
Danish lynch law is coming to prevail.
Finally he declared that law is the
worthiest of all secular callings, offering
an opportunity for the vindcation of hui
man rights and redressing of human
wrongs. The address was a lucid and
able exposition of great subject.
