COMMENTS OF OUR OFFICIALS
VIII Pick Their FIints and Try the Matte
Again.

Again.
DuXbury, Mass, Aug. 1.-THE de-
cision of Judge CarOn, of Quebec, re-
leasing Benjamin ID. Greene and John
Il. Gaynor. was shown to Solicitor
General Richards ut his summer home
here yesterday. He expressed no sur
prise at the action which had been
taken, and said that he would not at
this time enter into Il discussion Of
the case or express an opinion as to
the attitude of Judge CarOn. lie would
say that if there were any technical
defects in the warrant these could be
easily corrected by the United States
government, and having done this the
government would renew its efforts
to get the two men back into this
country for trial.
Richards said that in his own mind
he had formed an opinion as TO the
standing of the men in the light of
the law, for it had been part of his
duty to argue the original caSe-that
against Captain Carter-in its several
stages until it was before the supreme
court. Captain Carter had been con-
victed and imprisoned.
When it came to the cases of
Greene and GaynOr. he said there
might be some question as to eXtradi-
ton under the treaty between the
United States and Great Britain, but
if there was such Il question this could
be argued. He had no reason to be-
lieve that under the treaty Greene and
Gaynor could not be eXtradited. As
sistant Attorney General Hoyt. who
also is visiting here, would not COM
ment on the release of Greene and
Gaynor.
Beverly, Mass, Aug. 14.-Attorney
General Knox was Informed by the
Associated Press last night of the re-
lease of Greene and GaynOr at Quebec,
and also was shown Judge Caron'S
decision. He read the latter carefully,
and then said: "I have nothing to say
in regard to Judge Caron's decision.
1t would be highly improper and eX-
tremely indelicate for me to make any
comment on any decision of a foreign
court in which the United States gov
ernment is involved, especially when
the case goes against the govern
ment"

fession to the police that the man who

One detective acted as escort for Mrs.
WiurchOwski, while the other rushed
at them from the bushes. When the

head the woman went into hsterics
and cried out: My God, it's Charles
Janaski." The confession was verified

THERE WAS MONEY
IN THE NATTER
ter by Albert Uhl-
man.

Oc6mOnowoG, Wis, Aug. 14-Rela-
tive 10 the shooting of Ida Uhlman
by her father, Albert Uhlman, last
Sunday week, it seems that money
was ut the bottom OF the crime. He
met his daughter in lonely piece of
woods, on her way to church, so he
declares, and demanded to know what
she had done withB the money he
claimed she had stolen from his pock-
etbook March /. The girl. according
to the mans story, disclaimed all
knowledge OF the money, and when
threatened with revolver she cried:
IF you should shoot me 1 could
not tell where the money is" When
questioned about the shooting UhI-
man said he pulled the trigger, but
did not know it was n self-coclling
revolver. After the shooting the man
dragged his victim to the roadside.
He then walked back to this city. The
girl, on the other hand, says her faith
er stole $50 which she had saved for
a trip to Minnesota.

CANADA IS STILL SAFE
For Gaynor and Greene, Wanted
by the United States with
Great Want.
THEIR FRAUDS REACHED MILLIONS
Unless There Is Some Mistake, and
Judge Caron Refuses to
Extradite Them.

Quebec, Ont, Aug. 14.-Colonel John
f. Gaynor and Captain Benjamin ID.
Greene scored Il decisive victory yes
terday in their fight against eXtradi-
ton TO the United States, where they
are wanted in connection with alleged
frauds in harbor work for the federal
government involving millions OF dol
lars. Judge Caron, in the superior
court, discharged the prisoners from
the custody of Sheriffs Langelier, of
Quebec, and Valee, of Montreal, in
whose official care they have been
since their sensational arrest in Que
bee last May. Many of the prisoners
friends We're IN the court room, and
they congratulated the two men upon
their release. Colonel Gaynor and
Captain Greene left the court room
soon after Judge Caron had concluded
and proceeded to the Chateau FrOnte-
nae.
Point Made for the Prisoners.
1t is understood that the United
States government will institute new
proceedings for eXtradition. Judge
Caron, who spoke in French, occupied
about two hours IN delivering his judg
ment. In reviewing the legal proceed
ings since the arrest OF the two pris-
0nerS he pointed out that their counsel
had raised an important question to
the effect that the warrant issued by
aMglstrate Lafontaine was illegal on
the ground that it did not contain the
date nor the year in which the alleged
offense had been committed. He could
Magistrate Lafontaine was illegal on
committed, and it may have been prev
iouS to the signing of the treaty be
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
Not n Crime Included I'm the Treaty.
According to Il deposition made in
Montreal by Erwin, counsel for tine
United States, in May last, continued
Judge Caron, the accused were charged
with fraud committed on or about Jan.
1, 1897. That crime was not included
in the treaties, and that of receiving
money under false pretenses was only
included in the treaty of 1900. This
was fatal to the prosecution, and the
warrant issued by Judge LafOntaine
was defective, as tn eoffense included
therein did not fall under the eXtradi-
ton treaty; consequently the arrest
was illegal and the accused must be
set at liberty.

laws yesterday. After providing for
the oldest substitute getting the first

men in the membership failed.
1t developed that there will be strong
opposition among the delegates to In
dorsing the newly organized Interna-

there is no opposition to local ladies'
auXiliaries. The convention defeated

Keokuk, Ia, Aug. 14.-Mississippi
river cities, lumber interests OF the
northwest, ard steamboat lines Of the
Mississippi river, have determined on
a combined and strong effort to in
duce the Trans Mississippi CONNER
cial Congress meeting at St. Paul hext
week to actively favor the building
of great dam entirely across the'river
at keokuk at the foot of the Des
MoiDes rapids.
The effect of such dam would be
to render unnecessary the use of the
government canal now in use. and in
cidentally develop 60.000 electrical
horse power for commercial use. The
survey and report to the war depart
ment ordered by the last national con-
gress is now being made. The next
congress will be asked to order the
dam built. The cities specially inter
ested are all within fifty miles of Keo-

And Others, Who Think the Submarine
Great for Harbor Defense.


Great for Harbor Defense.
Such men in the United States navy
as Admiral Dewey, Captain Vain
wright and Captain Sigsbee highly ap-
prove submarine boats for harbor de-
fense. In discussing this subject yes
terday Captain Sigsbee, who as chief
intelligence officer of the navy and u
member of the board of construction
is well informed in such matters, de-
clared himself, as in the past, in favor
of submarine boats. He was disposed
to dismiss the accident on the Holland
as of little consequence, arguing that
too great significance was given to the
presence of gasoline on such boats as
Il constant source of menace to the
safety of the crews.
There is Il certain danger in all
engines of war" argued the captain,
land antagoniSm to submarines based
solely on the use of gasoline in the
engines is too trivial to be discussed.
Vessels of this kind have not reached
high state approaching perfection,
but they have progressed sufficiently to
make them exceedingly dangerous to
an enemy. ASsuredly they have
passed the experimental stage. Nat
urally the submarine boat of say five
years hence will greatly excel the one
of today, but it must be considered
that the latter represents the best type
with which we are acquainted at pres
ent There may be better boats In
vented, but they are on paper, and we
can only deal with those in practical
shape"
That the effectiveness of submarine
boats ever would reduce the number
of battleships in the navy was ridi-
culed by Captain Sigsbee. First and
always battleships," he said. ''They
have the greatest offensive as well as
the greatest defensive power. New
ertheless, submarines could relieve the
larger vessels in n great measure as
harbor defenseS. for the effect ON an
enemy contemplating an attack on u
port patrolled by submarines is tre-
mendous. The moral effect of know
ing that there is real danger which
YOU cannot fight effectively is i'm
mense, and such is the fear inspired
by the presence of submarine boats"
Admiral Dewey expressed his opin-
ion on the question in 1000, when he
said to the house committee on naval
affairs, in speaking of submarine
boats: ''If they had had two submarine
boats in Manila l never could have
held it with my squadron. The moral
effect, to my mind, is infinitely supe-
rior to mines or. torpedoes, or anything
of the kind. With those craft moving
under water it woud wear people out.
With two of these in Galveston all
the navies of the world could not
blockade that place"
