The death of a man named
Campbell in an obscure little place
in the suburbs of Memphis a few
days ago called attention to one of
the foulest crimes which ever
stained the criminal annals OF this

after he had been acquitted Of the
crime of murder by this man
Campbell is recalled with a feeling
Of shame. Campbell was never
tried but he skunk away into OBJ
security and no doubt suffered a
thousand punishments worse than
death for his atr0eious and brutal

GREENE-GAYNoR CASE UP.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The
government Is awaiting with no little
interest the result of the hearing at
Montreal In the extradtion case oil
Greene and Gaynor. The two fugi-
tives are to be brought today before
Judge La Fontaine, the Canadian ex-
tradition commissioner, whose juris-
diction extends over the Dominion,
and from his decision the only appeal
possible for either side is 10 the min
lister OF justice. There is no doubt
here that the case will be decided
strictly on its merits, nor is it be
lieved that any undue delay will be
tolerated
Benjamin d. Greene and John F.
Gaynor were associated with Oberlin
NJ. Carter in the Savannah Harbor i'm
proyement frauds. and fled TO Canada
to escape the consequences of their
acts and to delay as long as possible
their trial for embezzlement and
fraud against the United States gov.
ernment before the American courts.
They have been extraordinarily sue
cessful in delaying extradition pro-
ceedings, and in their efforts had. It
is maintained, the assistance of the
Canadian Judge Caron, whose inter
ference prolonged their liberty for
more than two years. On August -.
1902. Justice Caron handed down two
opinions which nullified previous de.
cisions. and permitted the freedom OF
Greene and Geaynor within certain
limits. These decisions were severely
criticised. even by Canadian authori-
ties, and did much toward crystalliz-
Ing public sentiment against the fur
ther protection OF the American fugi
tives. An appeal was Immediately
taken by counsel for the United States
to the priyy council of England and
on February 8 of this year a decision
was handed down reversing Justice
Caron, which had the effect of order
ing the renewal of the extradtion pro
ceedings against Greene and Gaynor
al the point where they were dis
continued by the Intervention of Jus
tice Caron.

FOR IDENTIFYING ROPE.


Every rope used in the Br.usn
naval service. from heaying line to
hawser and wherever II mas he used
on shipboard or in dockyRrd.' said a
cordage manufacturer, has woven In
to one Of its strands for purposes OF
identification red thread. The pre-
sumption Is that any rope with the red
thread found outside of sncn uses is
In improper hands. This custom in
the British navy has prevailed since
the days OF Nelson. or since long be-
fort that for aught 1 know.
"A like means Of Identifying rope is
employed In this country to some ex-
tent commercially Some railroads
have their rope marked in this way
and this method Is sometimes employ.
ed for marking rope used for the
transmission OF power in operating
machinery and on lighters. where it
might be exposed TO depreciation.
Hopes have been marked with a
single red thread. or with two red
threads. or with single threads OF
some other color as a distinctive mark
of ownership; we have marked ropes
with single tarred thread. We
would marg ropes in any manner
which might be desired on large or

After their visit to Sycamore Hill
Sir Liang talked very freely about his
country's future plans. The old sys-
tenn Of sending Chinese students to
be educated in American universities
has not proven entirely successful. the
minister said. At present there are
5000 Chinese students in this country.
A commission has been appointed, the
minister said, consisting of a prince,
governor of province. privy
councillor and an assistant treasurer
of the government, who will visit
America and Europe for the purpose
of studying educational systems and
reporting the best 20 be adopted by
the empire.
The Chinese minister said that
there was no truth in the story that
the HankowC Canton railway, recently
purchased from American stockhold-
ers. is to be completed by a JAPANESE
Chinese syndicate.
"The people of China have subscrib-
ed ample means to complete the pro-
ject," said the minister, "and 1t will
be built in three sections, the prov
inces of Human. Hupep and Quantung
each caring for share of the work
simultaneously"
The Chinese minister said that the
imperial government would probably
in time secure the concession for that
portion of the road extending from,
Hankow to Pekin, as a clause In the
contract grants that right after a Ger.
tain number of years. The road will
be built by native workmen under the
direction of foreign engineers.
