Lansing. Mich, Oct. %. - BY the
unanimous decision of the supreme
court in an opinion written by Judge
Hooker, Liant X. Salisbury, eX-city at
torney of Grand Rapids. is found guilty
of accepting Il bribe of $4,000 from
Thomas f. McGarry for using his in
1uence in the water deal in 1901. Sails
bury is in the Detroit house of correc-
tiOn for issuing false certificate of
deposit in violation of the federal bank
ing law. His term expires today and
he will be taken to Grand Rapids for
sentence under the conviction just ap-
proved by the supreme court. Two
other cases against him are pending,
one for accepting Il bribe of $4,000,
and one for conspiracy.
The supreme court says that SAILS
bury's rights were not injured by the
suspension of the trial pending inves-
tigatiOn of the request that an attempt
had been made to bribe a witness, and
holds generally that the lower court
did not err. This decision will, it is
believed, settle the case of Thomas G..
McGarry, the prominent lawyer who
was convicted of bribing Salisbury. and
who appealed. The grounds of his ap-
peal are the same that Salisbury ad-
Vanced.

Views Concerning ReIa-

and England.
ADVOCATED BOLDLY
A Leading Newspaper
Supports a Radical
Course.

Halifax, n. s., Oct. 29.-The declara-
tion that the existing relations between
Canada and Great Britain cannot eX-
ist much longer is made by the Hail
fax Chronicle, the leading newspaper
supporter in the maritime provinces of
the Liberal party. In the course of an
unusually outspOken editorial on the
recent Alaska boundary award The
Chronicle expresses what it claims to be
the unanimous dissatisfaction of Cana
dianS at the action of the British gov
ernment in the matter. The paper
says: This Alaska episode has made
it clear that our existing relations to
the empire cannot be continued much
longer. We are even now at the part
ing of the ways Our subordinate po
sition has been so clearly and so hui
miliatingly revealed that it must speed
lily become utterly unendurable.'
Only Two Courses Now Open.
The Chronicle adds that there are
now only two courses open for Canada
complete legislative independence
within the empire, acknowledging the
sovereignty of the king of England
alone, or the status of an Independent
nation. The paper says there is much
to commend the latter step in par
ticular. because it would free Canada
from the danger of being ever en-
broiled with the United States on ac-
count of its European connection, and
at the same time would secure for the
Dominion the benefit Of the protection
of the Monroe doctrine.
