THE GAYN)R.GREEN[ CASE
Donald McMaster, of Montreal. Lead
ing Counsel For the United
States, on the Decision.
JUDGE CARON'S JUDGMENT CRITICISED,
The Authorities Submitted on Behalf
of the United states Government
Do Not, He Says, Appear to Have
received Amy COnsideratio
From the Learned Judge.

Montreal, Can, Aug. 16.-Donald
McMaster, leading counsel for the
United States, has given out the fol-
lowing statement in reference to
Judge Caren's judgment in the Gay.
nor-Greene case:
In my opinion the Judgment is
bad, and the reasons in support of il
worse, The Judgment fs in effect a
snap judgment without an opportuni-
ty for counsel heing heard upon the
whole case
The first ground of the Judgment
is that the warrant issued by Judge
LaFontaine for the arrest Of the pris-
oners does not contain the date Of the
commission Of the crime"
Mr.. McMaster considers this a most
extraordinary reason, as he holds the
warrant to be in the words of the
form prescribed by the statute. Ac-
cording to him the date in the war
rant was not at all necessary, neither
by the form Of the statute nor by the
express terms of the extradition act.
But suppose that the date were re-
quired in the warrant OF the arrest"
he continues, (which it certainly did
not. Once the prisoners are brought
before judge or justice the date in
the warrant becomes absolutely inn
material.
"On the whole, am unable to con-
ceiye how this judgment under such
could be rendered. The
authorities submitted on behalf of
the United States government do not
appear TO have received any consider
ation. Neither does the Judgment of
Justice Andrews. 1t is either ignored
or lightly brushed aside. That iudg-
ment was res iudiciata. Justice Caron
was absolutely bound by its terms
upon every principle underlying the

MUSICIANS FROM THE ORIENT.
Plans Practically Made for Bringing
Filipino Band TO the ST.
Louis Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, Aug. 1s.-In the plans Of
the bureau of music of the Worlds
fair it has been practically settled
that Filipino band connected with
the First United States infantry will
be one of the principal features. The
committee on music has had consid-
cradle correspondence on the subject
with residents of the islands, and the
engagement Of the players was de-
cided upon tentatively early in their
deliberations. When Gov. Taft was
in st. Louis he laid especial stress on
the excellent music rendered by them,
and President Francis has received
many letters since then from civil and
military officers on the same theme,
The organization includes repre-
sentatiyes Of the Viscayan, Tagalo,
llocano and Pampangan tribes Their
music is by no means limited to the
rendition Of native airs, although
these are a feature of their repertoire
that has impressed their critics from
other lands, They have a library,
which includes all the classical and
modern compositions. Their color
and their race, together with the pop
ular interest in everything that per-
tains to the Philippines, will form the
basis of their power as an attraction,
but their indorsers in the islands pre-
dict that visitors to the exposition
will find these the least important
points about them. They are recon-
mended as fit associates. profession
ally, for any group of brass band
players and eXponents of their art
deserving Of hearing in any com
munity.
A number Of sample programmes
have been received at Worlds fair
headquarters. They contain many Sc
lcctions from the grand operas, ma
tional songs of the European peoples
and numerous titles to be seen on the
card of high class recital or CON
cert in this country.
The fact that these musicians will
appear as part Of the army of the
United States is suggestive of the ten
dency on the part of the Filipinos to

THE FAIRS WILLS.
In Possession of Their Attorney, but
Contents nre Not Made Public.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE provi-
sionS of the Wills of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Fair, now in the possession
Of the attorneys. Knight & IIeggerty,
have not yet been made public, and
there is much speculation as to their
contents. If has not yet been ascer-
tanned whether the Fairs acquired
separate or community property aft.
er the making of these Wills This
property will legally be included in
The disposition authorized by the
wills. and the legatees SO named will
receive their share if the courts au-
thorize distribution in accordance
with the provisions Of the wills.
The question of priority of death
is exciting much comment, but Nttor-
ncy Heggerty, who, with Herman
0clrichs. is conducting the necessary
litigation preliminary to the proba-
tion of the wills. declares that if Mrs,
Fair survived her husband this cir
aumstancc can have no effect on the
final disposition of the property, eX-
aept to give her relatives all that She
bequcathcd to them. If her husband
survived, his etsate VIII be distribut-
ed equally to his sisters, Mrs, Oel-
richs and Mrs w. II. Vanderbilt with
whatever additional property Mrs.
Fair may have willed to her husband.
The law of California presumes that
where husband and wife perish in the
same calamity the husband, as the
stronger, survived the wife.

skins of rattlesnakes sewn together
No fewer than 125 rattlesnakes were
requisitioned to supply the necessary
skins for this purpose. Four different
specimens of rattlers were comprised
in the suit-black. brown, yellow and
gray-and the judicious arrangement
OF these variegated skins presents pc
culiar and bizarre effect. The buttons
are rattlesnakes' heads stuffed, and
supplied with brilliant bead eyes. Even
Mr. Gruber's hat and stick are covered
with skins, rendering the attire most
extraordinary. The owner would not
part with it for any sum of money, for
it is the only one of its kind in exist

Glass Made by Lishtninr.

Tubes of glass made by lightning are
often found in sand. The electricity
passes into the ground and melts the
silicious material, forming little pipes,
the inside diameter of which repre-
sents the bore" of the '.thunderbolt"
Such tubes measuring as much as 81
feet in length have been discovered.
No doubt exists as to the method OF
their manufacture, inasmuch as people
have sought for them and dug chem up
still hot from places freshly struck by
lightning Attempts have been made
to reproduce them artificially by pass
ing powerful current of electricity
through finely powdered glass. In this
way pipes nearly. an inch long and as
big as darning needle have been OBJ
tanned From the comparative size
one gets a notion of the enormous en-
ergy of lightning
