GREENE AND GAYNoR GO FREE.
NO EVIDENCE FOUND TO SHOW
THEY WERE GUILTY.

Judge Brown in DIscharging Them
Says No Facts Were stated Show
ing That the Government Was
Ever Defrauded of "a DolIar-The
Absence of Sufficient Testimony as
to Guilt Was the Ground of His
Action.
New York April 4.-7Judge Brown of
the United States District Court has re-
fused a warrant OF removal applied for
in the case of Capt. Carter's contractors,
B. d. Greene, ]. F. Gaynor, Z. H. Cay
nor and w. T. Gaynor, indicted in Savan-
nah.
He ordered the discharge of the prison.
ers without prejudice to further proceed
ings.
The grounds for the refusal were the
absence of sufficient testimony as to the
guilt of the accused. The decision says:
''The stenographer's notes Of the pro.
ceedings returned by the commissioner
consist of 11OO pages, showing, however,
no other evidence of the commission of
the offense than a certified copy of the
indictment. Aside from this the whole
record consisted of little except rulings
upon the evidence on behalf of the de-
PENDANTS sought to be introduced and
numerous exhibits, all of which so far as
they pertained to the merits or tended 10
show the innocence of the accused and
the want of probable cause, were rejected,
mostly upon the ground that the question
of guilt or innocence should only be heard
and determined upon a trial under in
dictment.''
Indictment Not Conclusive.
The decision also says an indictment
is at best but evidence in no way conclu-
sive, and that although a copy of the In
dictment may be treated as an affidavit
it is to be given weight only according to
the nature and character of its aver
ments.
'By singular inversion, however" con-
tinues the decision, 'the best reason for
the admission of the defendants pro-
posed evidence namely, it's tendency to
show innocence of the charge and lack
of probable CAUSE, was in this instance
made the reason for excluding it. A GER
tified copy of the indictment having been
received by the commissioner against the
defendants objection, it was thereupon
eontended by the prosecution. and yirtnalz
ly ruled by the commissioner that the evil
dence was closed as respects the ques-
ton of guilt and that no evidence
disproving it could be allowed, since
that would be trying the issue here in
stead of in Georgia"
No Evidence of Fraud.
The decision also says:
"There is no allegation anywhere in
the indictment that the work and mate
rails supplied and the bills presented
were not strictly according to contract,
that the prices claimed or allowed were
exorbitant, that improper work was pass
ed or improper substitutions made, nor
are any facts stated showing actual
fraud, or that the government was being
defrauded of dollar. Even if no fuller
statement on these points is essential as
a matter of pleading it is indispensable
as evidence of probable cause of guilt"

In Constantinople, just at the point
where the continents of Europe and
Asia join, is a neutral spot where Ar

and many other nationalities drop all
feeling of difference and meet on COM
mon ground, speaking English as their
language and protected by the laws of
the commonwealth of Massachusetts,,
for here is situated the American col
lege for girls. 1t stands on an eminence
about a mile back from the sea, over
looking the wondet fully blue waters of
the Marmora and the Bosphorus and
surrounded by a garden overrun with
roses. The young women who are edu-
Gated there represent at present four
teen different nationalities, and come
from Russia, Roumania and Bulgaria
on the north. from the west as far as
Italy, from all parts Of Turkey and
the islands of the Mediterranean, from
these true daughters of Eve ,hungering
still for the fruits of knowledge, come
from the east as far as the Garden Of
Eden-from the Tigris and the Eu-
pirates. Over half the graduates en-
ter the profession of teaching, and
many of them give instruction in the
harems, where there is a growing de-
mand for education. Although Eng
lish is the tongue of the school, each
student is required to study the gram
mar, rhetoric and literature of her own
language. Many of them are not only
familiar with English, but with French,
German, Persian, Arabian and other
Oriental tongues. The beginning of
the college dates back to 1871, when
the Wo:lsn's Board of Missions estab-
lished a high school. The college Is
an outgrowth of this. The corpora

are vested, as we'll as the board of
trustees, is entirely composed of wom-

West Point correspondent New York
Herald: Residents of Rugertown, a
suburb of the post. are interested in
a weird concert which was given one
night this week in the parlor of the
home of Andrew Kuhn. a private of
the army service detachment. The
performance did not begin until just
as the Old clock in the tower of the
academic building had struck the hour
of midnight, the artist was invisible,
and ghostly sonatas, symphonies and
the like were rendered in wonderful
style. 1t seems that Kuhn. who is an
old resident of the post, had retired
with his family for the night, when
they were aroused by very loud and
thrilling piano playing. The sound
seemed to be coming from the parlor.
Upon their entering the ROOF they
found it quite deserted. The piano lid
was closed, but some invisible agency
was sounding the keys. They were
badly frightened. 1t might have been
a cat, but the piano was closed, or it
might have been rats nibbling the
strings, but the strings have been
found to be uninjured.

The general public, even in London
itself, needs to be told what Lloyds is,
and so it will be better to state at the
outset that it is the greatest center of
the shipping interest all over the world
and it is surprising that, unlike it's
near neighbor, the Stock Exchange, it
is so little known. Mr.. Frederick NJ.
Kenward contributes to Harmsworth's
Magazine an exceedingly interesting
article descriptive of the old institu-
ton. Lloyds owes its name to it's
founder, a Mr.. Edward Lloyd, the pro-
prietor of a coffee house at Tower
street, the earliest mention of which Is
about 1868. 1t was to this coffee house
that persons connected with shipping
used regularly to resort; and Mr..
Lloyd, who seems to have been a man
of considerable enterprise, took care to
collect all news and information he
possibly could in connection with his
customers business until his coffee
house gradually came to be looked
upon as the headquarters of all mari
time business, and especially of ma.
rine insurance.

BEAIRlQA AND THE IMAGE
VfNDER


The snow flurries were binding the
eyes of the passing throng, but Pietro
stood ~valiantly at the curb, holding out
his plaster images for sale. It. seemed
bitterly cold to the mufled, skurrying
crowd. but it vas warm and bal:ny to
Pletro. Though the hands which held
out the little white image of the wing
ed victory or a bust of Beethoven
were blue and stiff, and the narrow
shoulders of the thin frame were dou-
bled together in an attitude of ~cringing
subsection, yet the eyes Of Pietro were
looking far beyond the brilliant shops
OF Fifth avenue. In his imagination
he was wandering in the Elysian fields
with his Beatricia, where the sunlight
gilded the meadows and the smile OF
nature shone everywhere.
o valiant heart Of Pietro! For two
years now he had nodded plaster casts
and images and sold his wares OF
street corners and boarded the meager
gain to be able to get back to his Bea-
tricia. On the banks of the Tiber he
had left her, picking grapes with the
men and girls in the Roman vineyards,
and he had come to seek an FL Dorado
before he claimed her as his bride.
For one long. sad year of separation
she wrote to him. She upbraided him
for his slowness in winning the wealth
they had dreamed of. she scolded him
for only luke-warm affection. she
wounded his sensitive soul with re-
peated attacks on his loyalty and love,
and gradually these criticisms, ema-
mating from the restless, passionate
soul of the young girl, tender but sell
hSh, giving much but demanding more,
crushed the ardent spirit of the young
Italian, and he drew his love within
the recesses of his heart and brooded
over 1t, and ceased to pour out the
souls desires in the little message
which he sent occasionally across the
water.
Finally, when she believed her love
too little appreciated, she ceased alto

High School Girls Strike.

strike has been threatened here. The

Miss Lavina Conklin, vice principal of
the school, has informed this years
graduates that, owing to their small
number, there would be no formal ex-

NEW WOOD FOR TIES.
Red Cuebracho. Found in South Anerica
Is Superior,

Red Cuebracho, Found In South America,
Is Superior.
A new and thoroughly suitable wood
for railroad ties has been found in the
forests in the northern part of the Ar
gentine Republic. 1t is the red cue
bracho. 1t is an exceedingly hard wood
wod and in its interior, not alone in
the bark, is Is to 20 per cent of tan
min, which keeps the wood from rot
ting, no matter in what substance it
is buried. The wood has been used in
Europe for tanning, but outside of the,
Argentine Republic it's utility to rail-
roads, it seems, is yet to be discov--
cred and appreciated. Posts made of
this wood which have been buried so
years in land furrowed and quilted by
the torrential rains of summer have
been found to be in as good condition
as if they had been felled recently. In
the Argentine Republic ballasts for
railroad beds is unknown, and the ties
are laid in the ground, which frequent
ly is sandy and exposed to heavy rains
and dried by intense heat. So iron
cross ties were used until it was found
that the red cuebracho was ~undeniably
the best wood that could be used for
the purpose. 1t not only is so hard
a wood that it has to be bored before
spokes and bolts can be driven into it,
but it is unusually heavy. 1t does not
split or become compressed with blows.
