Studying Greek in Boston.

Opportunity to learn modern Greek has
never been so good as at present in Bos-
ton. Fruit stands run by Greeks are in
spots more numerous than cigar stands
Their owners are glad to give all the in
formation possible about their native
tongue and they subscribe to and ex-
hibit a number Of newspapers printed in
Greek. To those who have studied the
Greek of Xenophon it is not difficult to
make out what the newspapers contain,
and it is a pleasure to find modern in
stance parading in clothes of an ancient
tongue. Modern Greek seems easy to
learn. A young Irishman became EN-
ployed in a Massachusetts avenue Greek
fruit store and in the course of year
spoke the language Of his employer with
astonishing proficiency-Boston Record.

MILDLY TO BE DISMISSED.
Minor Meriwether, Acquitted on Man
slaughter Charge, Must Leave Naval
Service, It Is Said.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec d
Midshipman Minor Meriwether has been
acquitted of the charge of manslaughter
in connection with the death of Midship-
ment James R. Branch, Jr He has
been found guilty of conduct unbecoming
an officer and a gentleman, and has been
sentenced to dismissal from the naval
service. it is said.
Believing that conditions and not vi
ciousness in his character were response
BILE for his action the court has RECON-
>dended lenlency In d1sposlng of the case.
It is evident from the findings of the
court that it does not regard Meriwether
as having been entirely responsible for
Branch's death, although he delivered
the blows which caused the Commissions
producing blood clots on the brain.
Secretary Bonaparte cannot fud Meri-
wether guilty of manslaughter when the
court has acquitted him of this charge
but he can reduce the sentence should he
decide that the testimony weighs in
Meriwether's favor.

NO JURISDICTION IN
SALT REBATE CASES.
Judge Philips of Kansas City (Mo)
Grants Motion to Quash Proceed
ings Against Railroads.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dee. 4.-Judge
John F. Philips in the United States dis
trict court today held that his court was
without jurisdiction in the federal cases
charging the Missouri Pacific, the Santa
Fe and other railways with giving re-
bates on shipments Of salt in Kansas
and on coal in Colorado, and other
products in violation of the Elkins act.
The motion to- quash the proceedings
was granted.
On March %, 1902. at the instigation
of the attorney generals Office at Wash
ington, Judge Philips granted a tenn
porary order restraining the roads from
giving alleged rebates on various prod
ucts. Last summer M. d. Purdy, assist
ant attorney general, brought additional
proceeding, citing the officials of the rail-
ways named for contempt, on the allega-
ton that they had violated the courts Or
der in continuing to give rebates.
1t is for the state authorities, says the
opinion, to determine whether the state
corporation is violating the law; that
Congress has never undertaken to deter
mine what is the reasonable or equitable
division of joint rates between two rail-
road companies.
The government will never strike at
the root of the rebate evil until it goes
after the shipper as well as the railroads;
that it is not fair play and "a square
deal" that the railroads should first be
held up by the shipper and then pun
ished by the government for being ''held
up, while the shipper gets the rake
off" The court suggested in the opinion
the railroads could best assist in reliey-
ing themselves from such an attitude by
opening, rather than closing the mouths
of those under their control when their
evidence was needed to get at the facts"
The court alluded to the fact that this
matter had attracted public attention
because of the sensational association of
the names of President Ripley and the
then vice president, Paul Morton, with
the transaction. But the record in the
case and the evidence taken before the
interstate commerce commission failed
to furnish any foundation for imputing
to those gentlemen any personal respon-
sibility.

ISAY "H0D" TAYLOR
IS ADAMS VICTIM.
SEATTLE ASSAY OFFICE SHORTAGE,
HOWEVER, FALLS ON UNITED
STATES.
Cashier Removed on Charge of Taking
Big Sums, Some Of Which Were
Owned by Alaskan Bank.

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 4.-[Spe-
cial. director Roberts of the United
States mint and II. A. C'Hod'O Taylor,
assistant secretary of the treasury, are
said to be financially interested in Alas
kan banks which owned some Of the
gold which is said to have been stolen by
Cashier Adams of the local assay Office.
Adams has been removed from the po-
sition and Frank A. Leach, superintend-
ent of the San Francisco mint, who
started the investigation, is in charge.
Frederick A. Wing, who was in control
of the office and under whom Adams
worked. is relieved of his work for the
present.
It is said that the amount of the al
legged defalcation has not yet been dis
covered. and that the government and
not miners who owned the gold will
have to stand the loss. Government Of
fcials say Adams stole only from large
packages, thus preventing early discov-
cry. 1t is believed the thefts of which
Adams is accused are the largest of
their kind on record.

troubled were getting no relief from

chance read the story of Robert Yates,
