Why GREENE AND GAYNOR STAY
Members Of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Party

individually declined to say anything,
hut members Of his official family were
quite willing to talk about the case.
Arthur Dansereau, editor of La Presse
Of Montreal. declared that the authorities
Of the United States. who had the matter
Of extradtion in charge, were probably
to blame for the fact that Greene and Gay

Canada, particularly those Of Montreal,
felt that they had been outraged. and since
then have accorded these men the pro-

i cannot say that the two men occupy
very desirable position in the eyes Of
the people, for as a matter of fact they
do not. and il this little kidnapping episode

SO unbearaby hard for them that they

have the same right to come into the United
States and take men from one State to

il was fortunate that the men in question
were not allowed to be extradited.

tons Of rock and earth fell from the sides
Of Storm King Mountain early thismorning.
completely engulfing the tracks Of the
West Shore Railroad, which skirt the
banks Of the Hudson River at that point
The crash and roar of the landslide was
heard for miles about. and the Western
express, which was running fast to make
up lost schedule time, was tagged at New
burgh just in the nick Of time to prevent
a wreck.
The landslide occurred just below Corn
wall. Gangs OF workmen with wrecking
tools were hurried to the scene and the work
Of clearing the line was begun. II ia ex-
pected that new rails will have to be laid,
as the present tracks are probably de-
stroyed. The railroad people say this may
take two days.
The passengers in the Western express,
held at New burgh, were taken to the block
AIDED point. where they had to climb over
the debris of the landslip as best they could.
On the other side they were met by a train
from Weehawken. which had been hastily
despatched for that purpose II took them
three hours to do this.
After several hours work the north
bound track was opened to traffic by moving

CAPT TITUS.
Capt. Titus explained yesterday that he
wanted the kid" because David Lamar,
Wall Street man, had charged him
with the theft of a thousand-dollar bill. The
theft, the captain said. was supposed TO
have occurred last Saturday, when Lamar
and a number of friends visited McCoy's
saloon at FoTtieth street and Broadway.
The spirits OF the party were high and
many bottles were broken. The general
exhilaration reached its climax when Lamar
took out bill and handed it to Selby with
the words:
Take this for me. and when we have
had as much as we can stand give me the
change"

that Lamar said. When every body had had

Selby, still according to Capt. Titus. as
serted that all he had received was a
twenty-dollar bill, and that the wine con-
sumed cost more than that.
There was an interchange of words,
amounting almost TO a quarrel. Then
Selby disappeared. Capt. Titus was under
the impression yesterday that he had
jumped into a cab and disappeared with
unseemly haste. The captain also said
that repeated efforts to find Seby since
then had failed Therefore, he said, moth
ing remained for him but TO resort to heroic
measures.
The general alarm was not made public

MRS. TINGLEY SCORES AGAIN.
Judge In Libel Suit Rules Out Many Ques
tIOns as to Her Career.

SAN DIEGO Cal. Dec. 22-Mrs. Tngley
to-day scored another point on Editor
Otis in her libel suit against the Los Angeles
Times. Judge Torrance ruled out most
of the testimony OF Louis s. Fitch former
bookkeeper at Point Iona. Much OF this
testimony was given at the hearing in New
York to keep out the children sent from
Cuba to Mrs. Tingleys institution.
Fitch repeated Mrs. Tingley's remarks
about the soul Of the late -Mahatma" Judge
being now in her pet dog, and about her
comment on his wife, but Judge Torrance
ruled out the question: In her statement
to you with reference TO married relations
did she say anything with reference to
illegitimate children?"
Other questions ruled out were as to Mrs
Tingley's claims TO superhuman power
and as to the alleged i'll treatment Of in
mates. This ruling prevents the defence
from introducing mass OF testimony
gathered in the East from those who left
Mrs. Tingley.
At the afternoon session Fitch was recalled
for cross-examination He said many Of
the costumes worn on ceremonial occasions
by the women were low -necked and several
seemed to him indecent. Willard, one of
the members, told him that Mrs. Tingley
was greater than Christ. Confucius and
