1t Is fatty denied that United States

to have been merely made an excuse for
the rejection Of 4he treaty and did not in

| ator George A Green of this city was
| placed under arrest to-day by United
| States Marshal Black on the charge Of
conspiracy and bribery. growing out of
the postal investigation. Bond was placed
at $1,000 with Jonas NJ. Miller as surety.
The arrest of Green Is one of the prom
ised sensations in the postal scandal, ana,
considering the prominence OF the Senator,
probably win lead to interesting develop
ments.
George F. Green is State Senator from
Broome County. former Mayor OF Bing-
hamton. former president Of the Republic
can State League and one Of the smooth
est politicians upstate. He is great
friend OF President Roosevelt, as is Rep
resentative Littauer. the glove man.
Mr.. Green is In the coal business in Bing-
hamton. In addition to his connection with
the Bundy Time Lock concern. he IS treas
urer Of patent wire fire escape company.
and Is one of the incorporators OF the
Lower Niagara Power and Water Com
pany.
This is not the first time that Senator
Green has been accused of mixing his
politics with his business interests He
forced through the State Assembly a bill
granting a franchise to his Niagara Pow
er Company, that Is estimated to be worth
at least s5.0o09oe. This bill passed In
March a year ago.
Two years ago. while the Tammany ad-
ministration was In power. local news
paper accused the Senator's fire escape
company Of having influenced certain
Tammany offlcehoiders to favor Its wares.
It was shown that In sections Of Brook
lyn where houses were not equipped with
fire escapes agents OF the Building De-
partment swept through block after block
ordering that escapes be put In place.
Right behind them came agents of the fire
escape in which Senator Green Is inter-
ested.
This Is an affair that does not require
the erection OF outside platforms, and
rather than suffer their houses to be de-
faced, the owners Of buildings bought the
patent affair.

some points that are not worn quite

woman. in Italy an italian. but in Eng
land she remains an American.
1T does not. however, follow that the
Anglo-American wife is not appreciated In
the country Of her adoption. Her frank
sometimes unconventional doings are all
pleasing in our eyes. We are willing to
acknowledge her power of amusing. her
extraordinary quickness of repartee. her
