JUSTICE CARON
WAS MISTAKEN
Should Have Quashed Writs in the
Greene-Gaynor Case.
EXCUSE is UNTENABLE
cAUsTIc CRITICISM OF BRITISH
PR1NY COUNCIL.

Washington. Feb. 1s.-The depart
ment of justice has received copy of
che decision of the judicial committee
of the English privy council in the
GaynOr-Greene case. rendered on the
Sth instant, the main points of which
were outlined in the Associated Press
al that time. The decision was favora-
bic to the United States and will result
in a reopening OF the extradition pro-
ceedings in the Canadian courts against
Messrs. Gaynor and Greene. who are
technically charged with obtaining gov
eminent money under false pretenses.
The judgment of the priyy council, as
understood here after a full perusal
of it's opinion is that the two judg
ments of Justice Caron dismissing the
motion ofOthe United States to quash
writs of habeas corpus in favor OF Gay
nor and Greene were erroneous; that
the writs should have been quashed be-
cause the prisoners were held under
proper arrest and detention by a COM
petent tribunal, an extradition commits
sioner for the purpose of inquiry in
pursuance of the British extraditiOn
law as to whether an extraditable Of
tense had been committed or not.
Mistake of caron.
The privy council does not agree
with Justice Caron that because the
United States charged a conspiracy,
tradition treaty, the prisoners were en-
titled to discharge, since the privy
council points out that the Indictment
for conspiracy charges overt acts of
larceny. which is an Offense under the
extradition treaty, and the United
States could treat this alleged larceny
as a distinct and independent eXtradi-
table offense.
Justice Caron, the council holds, in
effect, should have allowed the extradi-
ton proceedings and particularly the
question Of how much evidence there
was Of larceny to be duly and properly
investigated under the British statute
without interference by him.
Caustic Criticism.
About half of the opinion rendered
by the privy council deals with the pro-
ceedings in the case up to the time that
Justice Caron took a hand in it, The
opinion speaks in rather caustic terms
Of Justice Caron's action, saying that
he ultimately discharged the accused
from custody upon grounds which their
lordships have some difficulty in fol-
lowing"

MASS IN NEW YORK,
Impressive Scene at the Cathedral
of st. Nicholas.

New York. Feb. 19.-At the Russian
Cathedral of st. Nicholas a requiem mass
Tor the Grand Duke SergiuS of Russia was
celebrated today. The scene was most
impressive, ds the great congregation
holding lighted candies, responded 20 the
chants of the black-robed priests officiat-
ing at the catafalque which had been
paced IN the center of the edifice.
Rev Alexander HotovitZky, the pastor
IN his sermon. said that the assassination
OF the grand duke was a sad blow against
the real freedom of Russia: that the act
or the assasst IN would not bring about a
Detterment of conditions. but that vio-
lence would retard the liberal tendencies
of that country; that the act, further
more. was not perpetrated by Russians.

at heart, for no real patriot would throw
a bomb into the Kremlin, which is a
sacred place Russia. said the preacher.

charges against the Russian government

ings were exaggerated for political pur-

POISON STORY DENIED
Mrs. Stanford Merely Drank Mineral
Water Which Did Not Agree
With Her.

San Francisco, Feb. 19.-The story in
circulation to the effect that an attempt
Was recently made TO poison Mrs. Jane
Stanford at her home in this city is
characterized by Mrs. Stanfords
friends as sensational and without
foundation. According to the story.
Mrs Stanford had drunk some min
eral water that made her i'll, and an
analysis OF the liquid had later revealed
the fact that il contained poison. The
story continued to tell how Mrs. Stan
ford, suffering from nervous proStra-
ton resulting from the effects of the
poison. had been ordered abroad by her
physicians. In company with her pri-
vate secretary. Miss Bennerford, Mrs.
Stanford left for the Orient on the
steamship Korea several days ago.
According to Mrs Stanford's friends
the facts of the case are that about
seven weeks ago. Mrs Stanford one
morning drank glass OF mineral wa
ter, which nauseated her for a few mo-
ments, and on the advice of friends
she had the water analysed, but with
out sensational results Being OF a
nervous temperament. she turned the
matter over to d local firm of detec-
tiVes, which, after day s investigation
satisfied her that no attempt had been
made to injure her, and the affair was
finally told to her friends as a joke
Professor David Starr Jordan. presi-
dent of Stanford university, referring
to the matter. said:
The report that Mrs. Stanford left
for the Orient because of an attempt
at poisoning is entirely unfounded. The
fact is, that Mrs. Stanford was threat
ened with pneumonia and had been adj
vised a warmer climate than San
Francisco 1t was for this reason that
she started on he "trip. She did. how
ever, tell me a month ago that she had
been served with d bottle OF mineral
water which had a peculiar taste. but
she did not drink it. She did not
think for a minute that any attempt
was being made to poison her, and do
not believe there was"
