OFFICIALS GAIN CONFIDENCE.
Believe They Will Get Fugitives Back
From Canada.


A dispatch from Washington. d. c..
says the officials there wno are max
ing an effort to secure the extradition
of Greene and Gavnor are now feeling
more confidence in the success of
their efforts. The reason for their
optimism is change in the method
of the procedure, they having
framed their appeals for the
eXtraditio of the men precisely
in accordance with the language of
the extradition treaty.
This was done on the ground that
the language of the treaty relative
to receiving money, valuable secu-
rity. or other property, knowing the
same to have been embezzled stolen
or fraudulently obtained" is claimed
to actually fit the offense of which
the men are said to have been guilty.
1t is expected that ne Canadian court
will thus be relieved of. the necessity
of ruling on the objection made by the
defendants that the crime charged In
ne Indictment does not correspond
with the treaty. Under he new appli-
cation the court win simply be re-
quired to decide whether or not pri-
ma facie case of receiving stolen
moneys has been made out against
Greene and Gaynor
If the men are surrendered under
extradition proceedings the Georgia
courts will be obliged to decide the
difficult and delicate question wheth-
er Gaynor and Greene can be tried for
conspiracy, as indicated, after having
been obtained hon Canada on
warrant which does not charge that
otfense.

MEANS A BOILER
FACTORY FOR US
R. E. BRIESENlck WILL BUILD
ONE If COUNCIL WILL
GIVE LEASE.
The Council Has Good Opportunity
to Encourage a New Enterprise
BY Granting His Request.

Some weeks ago Mr. r. e. Briese-
nick sent petition to the council
asking for a fifty years' lease on the
city water front lot at the foot of
Dartmouth streeA Mr.. Briesnicks
lease at present which extends
twelve monhs yet, but he desires to
improve tne property, laying out a
large sum Of money. and he does not
care to do this unless the city will
extend his lease.
The proposition OF Mr. Briesenick
for fifty year lease seems to be a
fair one. He agrees to pay an
amount agreed upon by council and
himself for twenty FIVE years, and at
the end of that time ne is willing to
leave the amount of rental to arbi-
tration for the remaining twenty-five
years.
If council leases the property to
Mr. Briesenick ne viii at once be-
gin the erection of a mammoth boiler
factory, will invest a large amount of
money and will employ many hands.
If the lease is not extended the fac
tory will not be built.

so was the ninth The eleventh was
finished with no cnange in the stand
ing, and so was the twelfth This
kept up until the seventeenth inning
when one Of he visitors hit the ball
squarely in the face It went straight
over the second base too high for the
baseman to reach with one Of his
highest jumps. The right fielder
made for it beaind the second base
man. but as it went into the field it
seemed to raise higher and higher
from the ground with an up curve and
at the remotest part Of the park it
resembled a speck in he air. It duck
ed and struck the fence, and it lay
in the grass to be searched for by
the fielder who followed it. BY the
time it had been found and tnrown
back to the diamond the battA had
made the round Of the bases and was
taking rest over among the other
