Privy Council of England De-
cides Celebrated Case In
Favor of United States
CANADIAN JUDGE cENsuRED
Action Of Justice caron in Interfering
Severely Criticized by the Home
Governments Highest court-cay-
nor and Greene Accused of Stealing
From Government.

London, Feb 8-The privy council
rendered it's decision this morning in
the Greene-Gaynor case in favor Of
the American government.
The council reversed two judgments
OF Justice Caron of Quebec, August,
1902, and ordered the respondents to
pay the costs Of the appeal. The de-
oision caustically criticizes the action
of Caron in releasing Greene and Gay
nor and Caron's extraordinary inter-
vention." Gaynor and Greene were in
dfcted in Savannah, Ga. in 1899, charged
with embezZlement and defraud-
ing the United States government to-
gether with Captain Oberlin M. Car
ter, in performance Of government
contracts. The Illicit profits were es-
timated at two million. Gaynor and
Greene were arrested in New York.
to Canada. Efforts to extradite them
from Montreal were progressing fav-'
orably when they went to Quebec,
WHERE ueLeCllVeS hluHdppeu lIltIIi anu
took them to Montreal. There was a
big legal fight over the action and
the Quebec Judge issued a writ OF
habeas corpus and the prisoners were
rushed back to Quebec. Efforts to
quash the writ were denied by Justice
Caron. After long legal controversy
Gaynor and Greene obtained their lib
erty within the limits of the province
of Quebec. The United States govern
ment then appealed to the privy coun.
ell Of England, the highest court Of
that country.
The decision leaves Greene and Gay
nor under remand as before Justice
Caron INTERVIEWED.

NEW PARTY LINES IN CONTEST.
Alignment of "Safe and Sane" Demo.
Gratis With Republicans.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Discussion Of
the question of whether President
Roosevelt's policy of doing things" is
to result in political revolution and
party realignment must be entirely
tentative. What is to happen will de-
pend entirely upon certain great cor
porate interests, which for many years
have had a strong grip on both great
parties, thru certain party leaders in
congress. 1t may be fairly assumed
that the president will not backtrack.
Should certain gentlemen who sit be-
meath the capitol dome be equally de-
termined to stand their ground, il is
difficult to see how the country, With
it's present confidence in the executive,
and it's earnest support of his policies
looking to the better regulation of the
great carrying companies, can be pre-
vented from taking matters into It's
own hands and accomplishing, thru a
political housekeeping, those things
which the president wants.
That something of this sort is threat
ening no one attempts to disguise, and
hence the printed discussions of a
possible break between the president
and the senate over rate legislation.
and the probable results of SUCH a
break in the readjustment of party
lines.
An Interesting feature of the situa-
ton is the attitude of w. j. Bryan,
who is a good deal closer politically to
the president. a republican, than he is
to the safe and sane" leaders of the
reorganized democracy, who got into
the saddle last year and will be in nom
mating control of the party machinery
until 1908. Bryan has nothing in COM
mon with these democrats. and his
condemnation of them and of their pol
icies has been vigorous and incessant.
Every time that he indorses the presi-
dent. he gives a side blow to these
safe and sane" leaders, and that may
explain in part why he has been so
outspoken recently in praise of the
president. But it does not explain it
entirely.

mandng better control of the railways,

FOUND NOT GUILTY
Conrad Weishman, Who Shot and
Killed Henry Deeter Near Graetting-
err Last Spring is Acquitted by Clay
County Jury.

Special to Republican.
Spencer Feb. S.-The jury in the
case of Conrad Weighman on trial fo'
the murder of Henry Teeter near
Graettinger, last spring, brought in a
verdict at late hour Last evening,
finding the defendant not guilty. Only
one vote was taken and the jury was
out only three hours. The defense was
self defense, aEd tne evidence indi-
Gated that Weighman belle we'd that his
life was in danger when he shot
Deeter.
The shooting which cost the life Of
Deeter, occurred near Grs ettinger j.
A. Spies, leading citizen of that
place, had received an unsigned COM
munication commanding him to place
certain sum in staclier on the
Deeter place. and threatening his life
if he refused to comply. Spies placed
the matter in the hands OF the officers
and Weighman, his hire man, was
posted in haystack to watch the
stacker, where dummy package had
been placed, and prevent amy one from
getting away with the package.
While Weighman was on guard
Deeter came along, opened the box of
the stacker, took out the package and
started away with it. Weighman CALL
ed on him to stop, and Deeter accord
ing to Weighman's story, not only re-
fused, but raised his gun to shoot.
Weighman fired first, and inflicted
wounds which caused tile death of
Deeter short time afterwards.
Weighman was later Indicted, and
brought to trial for murder.
The case has aroused intense inter-
est in this part of the country. 1t has
been sensational at times, conflicting
testimony adding interest to the hear
ing.
1t was shown that Deeter had made
threats against Spies ani also that a
tablet was found in his lome, bearing
the impression of several words of the
blackmailing letter which Spies had
received.
The verdict of the jury is received
with general satisfaction here.

PANAMA CANAL ACT SUSTAINED.
Attorney Wilson Of Chicago Loses
Case Before Supreme Court.

SNttCfuCJ NVIisOu SHiSdSo @SoSS
Case Before Supreme Court.
Washington, Feb. S-Justice STAFF
ford, of the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, today ruled against
Warren Il. Wilson, an attorney at
law OF Chicago, in his suit for In
junction to restrain the secretary of
the treasury from paying to the repub-
lie of Panama $10,000,000 under the
treaty of the United States with that
Republic: from paying s40,0Oo,0O0 on
behalf of the government to acquire
the rights of the New Panama Canal
Company of France for the Panama
canal property, and from making any
payments on account OF the canal.
Mr.. Wilson contended in substance
that the Panama canal act is uncon-
stitutional and that the United States
is without right to aquire foreign prop
perty. The decision was rendered
upon a demurrer by Secretary Shaw
to prevent the carrying out of the in
junction prayed for by Mr.. Wilson.
Right to Sue Denied.
The republic of Panama and the
France were also named defendants,
but the service was had only on the
secretary OF the treasury.
1t was urged in support of the de-
murrer that the complainant was with
out right to sue because he could not
show direct and special injury to
himself above that suffered by others;
that so far as the payment of any
money to the republic Of Panama was
concerned the supreme court of the
District of Columbia was without jur-
isdiction for the reason that Panama
though a necessary party to the pro-
ceedings, could not be sued; that as
the payments had already been made
by the United States, the attempt to
restrain payments became a moot
question; that the court could not en-
join the executive from enforcing a
statute simply because it was alleged
to be unconstitutional; that title to
the strip thru which the canal is to
be built having been acquired, Mr..
Wilson's suit. in effect is one to re-
strain the officers of the United
States from improving land belonging
to the United States and the United
States is necessary party to the suit
and that If the complainant We're seek
ing to restrain the collection of tax
laid for the specific purpose of buying
the canal zone or for constructing the
canal itself. the remedy by injunction
would not be allowable to him.
constitutionality Not Issue.
1t was submitted by counsel for the
secretary of the treasury that the
foregoing grounds were sufficient to
sustain the demurrer and that the
court was not required to consider the
question of the constitutionalty of the
statute.
Mr. Wilson argued the cause in his
own behalf while Assistant Attorney
General Russell. and Morgan Fl. Beach,
United States attorney for the District
of Columbia. appeared for the secre-
tary of the treasury.

of the president as not meeting with
his appreciation.
Charging that an opportunity had
been lost to the democracy by Offering
an inadequate substitute to the Town
send bill, Shober, of New York. said
a similar mistake had been made at
the st. Louis convention when. In spite
of the desire of the rank and file of
democracy and the cry from industrial
centers, the party had been lured by
false hopes ana promises held out by
the Belmonts. Ryans and Cordmeyers
of Wall street and trust fame, into dis
regarding the wishes of the people and
thereby accomplishing disaster for the
party.

rnreservedly tor Roosevelt on the sub
ject of regulating freight rates. Van
Duzer, of Nevada. said there had been
no more courageous action than that
of the president since the days Of An

Electoral Vote Counted.
Shortly after one of the senator's
reached the house and President Pro-
tenn Frye. who presided over the
joint session, announced the method
of procedure. Fairbanks did not ac-
company the other senators. An
nouncement of the vote for the demo-
cratic nominees caused slight applause.
as did the announcement of the first
state for the republican nominees.
Miss Alice Roosevelt and a party of
friends occupied seats in the executive
gallery during the count of the vote.
When the announcement was made
of the vote of Missouri there was
great applause among the republi-
cans.
At the conclusion Of the count the
tellers reported Roosevelt and Fair
banks received 336 votes. Parker and
Davis 14o votes. President Pro Tenn
Frye declared Theodore Roosevelt
elected president and Charles w. Fair
banks elected vice president for the
four years beginning March 4, 1905.
The joint convention then dissolved
and senate proceeded to Its chamber.
