QUEBEC, Canada, March TN the
heart of the aristocratic residential
district of this ancient provincial
capital Benjamin d. Greene and John
F. Gaynor continue their lives of lux
ury and pleasure. Despite the sweep
ing decision of the British privy
council they will not give up and are
fighting for their liberty now just as
strenuously as they did In the be-
ginning.
and Gaynor are as men without
care or a carking fear. In the midst
of luxury for three years they have
enjoyed every comfort, content with
the efforts of their expensive lawyers
to battle the efforts of the American
courts and prolong the laws delay.
1t was seven years ago that Uncle
Sam first reached out for the alleged
heads of gigantic contracting ring
which government experts say HAS
defrauded the United States Of more
than 100000. Yet to see Gaynor's
daily frolic in the winerooms of the
fashionable Chateau Frontenac, his
gay young wife charging madly down
the St. Lawrence river drive on her
favorite horse, or to witness the
peaceful life led by Captain Greene
and his stately wife, in their magnifi-
cent home, one would never suspect
they were the much wanted men.
The failure of the pair to break
into exclusive society is known. But
their money, spent with prodigal lib
crafty, did win them friends willing
to share in the good things they
could buy.
The decision Of the privy council
did not interrupt Gaynor's giddy ca
reer for an hour. Greene, with the
military carriage gained only at West
Point, ever smiling, strides about the
streets as usual Mrs. Gaynor, beau
tiful and vivacious, has not missed
an afternoons canter and declares to
friends: There's no use to worry;
we want no sympathy" Mrs Greene
alone seems anxious and constrained.
A reconciliatio between Gaynor
and Greene has been effected, but
their wives do not speak. Mrs.
Greene revealed the situation when
she said:
II do not know Gaynor. 1t Is UNI
fortunate that my husband is thrown
into companionship with him. Cap
tain Greene is always a gentleman"

Representative Doolittle asked unani-
nous consent for returning the bill
to second reading for the purpose of
adding the emergency clause. Dr.
Dooltttle argued that, while perhaps
In no other instance did 1t make a
particle of difference, the fact that
the matter could be submitted to the
voters of Spokane at the coming mu-
nicipal election made 1t very desir-
able that the emergency clause be
enacted and thus allow Spokane to
pass on its water works problem
without special election. Consent
was given, the emergency clause in
serted and the bill passed the house.
No opposition has been encountered
with the members of the senate and
that body will undoubtedly concur in
the action of the house.
