FUGITIVES GREENE
AND GAYNOR FREE
Quebec Judge Grants Freedom
on a Writ Of Habeas
Corpus.
JURIST UPH0LDS PRISONERS
American Courts Action Quoted
as Precedent - Discrepancy
Between the Charges
Against Them.

QUEBEC, Aug. l3.--Judge Caron to-
day ordered the release from custody
OF Colonel John r. Gaynor and Cap
tain r. d. Greene In the now famous
.extradition case. There was a large
attendance of both legal luminarles
and spectators. Mrs Gaynor accom-
panied by number Of ladies, was
present during the delivery Of the
Judgment Gaynor and Greene came
into court with Sheriff Langley. Judge
Caron read the petitions Of the pris-
.oners for wrIts of habeas corpus upon
which the writ was issued, In virtue
.of which the prisoners were taken out
OF the hands OF Jailer yaile, Of Mon
treal, as well as the answer thereto
and the writ itself The events i'm
mediately preceding the issue Of the
writs he also reviewed and went on
to concur with Judge Andrews opin-
ion with regard to the sensational
manner in which the prisoners an
swer was made here.
With regard TO the attacks made
upon himself he was sure that the
American government authorities and
their agents could have had no hand
In them. The notice OF the American
government lawyers TO Jailer Vale to
attend to delivery OF Judge Andrews s
judgment was then noted and Wales
compliance therein noted That judg-
ment ipso facto dispossessed Judge An
drews OF the prisoners and under the
circumstances he Judge caron) was
quite justified In his subsequent issue
Iof writs Of habeas corpus addressed
to Jailer Vale after he had taken>pos-
session OF the prisoners following
Judge Andrews announcement
Judge Caron next quoted authority
for his issue of write of certiorar
in his previous Judgment and showed
that the writs of habeas corpus new
Iertheless remained in force without
the extradition commissioner having
pronounced upon the case. for the
prisoner has always right to ques-
tion the justice of his being deprived
of his liberty. American courts had
taken a similar view in the case of q
Iforger who was a fugitive from Quebec
Iprovince. His honor pressed the opin-
ion that Judge Andrews judgment
auashing his own writ of habeas cor
ipus did not decide the merits of the
lease, and Notwithstanding the preten-
Esions of lawyers for the prosecution to
the contrary, his writ in no way con-
Iflicted with Judge Andrews Judgment
for prisoner may always renew his
application providing that some new
facts are stated, as had been done in
the present case.
In the present case there was q dis
tinct discrepancy between the charges
In the various true bills against the
prisoners and that made In the ap-
plication for extradtion. This, as well
as the absence of dates in the war
rant he held to be distinctly fatal to
the latter, and he therefore upheld the
prisoners claims and their objections
to the warrants maintained the writ
OF habeas corpus and ordered the re-
lease of the prisoners.

ROOFING ORANGE TREES
How Arizona's Fierce Sunlight
IVul Be Kept Out.
PLAN HIT UPON BY FRUIT GROWERS

A Close Screen ~ Willows and Wire
Will BE Used over One Thousand
Acres to Protect the Citrus Growth
From the sun-Artffcial Heat For
Cold Days.
Work has begun in the Salt river
valley on Il gigantic scheme for grow
ing fruit indoors. writes the special
correspondent of the New York Post
from PheniN, Ariz. The project in
wolves the roofing of more than 1000
acres of orange. lemon and pomelo
trees.
1t may seem strange to persons who
know this part Of Arizona that pr0tec-
tion should be necessary to fruit trees
in the Salt river valley, but to irriga-
tionists who are aware of the evapora-
tive powers Of the Arizona sun pro-
tecting cover offers q solution Of one of
the most difficult problems which con-
front orange growers. Arizona oranges
on the New York market this month
[Decemberl brought the highest price
ever known, but the crop was very
short, less than half that of q year
ago and not more than one-fourth as
heavy as that of two years previous
For the shortage the growers blame
the excessive heat of the last sum
mer, and it is to guard against repe-
tition of such a condition that they are
preparing to cover their groves.
The plan Is Il simple one, elaborate
only In it's size. Poles will be put up
in the orchards, and on these will be
strung heavy wires in parallel rows.
Then will be cut the heavy willow
brush. the variety known as the water
motus. which, grows from five to ten
feet high along all the water courses
Of Arizona These sticks will be laid

across the wires. with spaces between
Of from one-Quarter to three-Quartors
Of an inch, and thus form roof which
will not keep out the sun entirely from
the trees, but will break the fierce
heat of the midday sun. Thereby the
earth about the roots Of the trees may
be kept moist by less frequent irriga-
ton and thus prevent the hard baking
Of the soil. which prevents the proper
spread Of the roots.
Some time ago experiments were be-
gun here in putting covers of canvas
over orange trees. but that plan was.
abandoned because of the fact that
the cloth covering kept out too much
Of the sunshine
The work now in progress in the
Salt river valley is being watched
closely by the officials at the govern
ment experiment stations at Phenix
and at Tucson. While in Arizona the
roofing for the orchards is intended
primarily as protection from the sun,
it will also serve to keep out the frost
which sometimes comes. 1t has been
customary in the orange countries to
build at night low fires through the.
groves or to make smudges. These
methods. however, have never proved
satisfactory, and to provide better
fuel extensive experiments are being
made at Senator w. A. Clark's coal
fields at Gallup, N. M. Here it has
been found that composition made
up Of coal dust, held together by
small quantity Of asphaltum. together
with an equal amount Of crude oil,
provides an economical fuel which will
give out strong and steady heat and
hold it's fire for long period. This
composition is being made into bricks,
which can be easily handled and plac-
ed about the orchards. With the pro.
lection of the roofs and the heat from
these bricks Of fuel it is believed have
been found the safeguards which will
do away with the obstacles which pre-.
vent in many localities the raising OF
citrus fruits at profit.
