Argument Of Mr.. Manchester to Show
Captain Cartef's Connection With
the Crime.

Montreal, April 12.-The Gaynor.
Greene case came up again today be-
fore Judge LaFontaine. Donald Mac
Master argued for the prosecution,
quoting from many letters and dOcu-
ments that were used in trial of Cap
tain Oberlin Carter.
When the hearing adjourned Mr..
MasMaster had not concluded his argu-
ment. The greater part of this time
was devoted to showing there was a
crime for which the accused were an
swerable. Captain Carter had been
tried and found guilty, he said, and
there were many things which indi-
Gated that ne was intimate with
Greene and Gaynor and in league with
them. MI. Manchester referred to va
rious checks and traced them from the
accused to Captain Carter and endeay-
ored to show what disposition he had
made of them. 1t was apparent, he
said, that there had been an equal di-
vision into three parts of the profits of
the harbor work. one part going to
Greene, n to Gaynor and the other
to Carter. In n instance he pointed
out Greene received a check for $22,-
800 and wrote n for Gaynor for S22,-
$50. Gaynor hen gave a check to

gave a check also to the unknown"
for $3.50 thus accounting for a divis-
ion of the $4,000.

The Cape Fears Coaling Station.

The revival of interest in Southport,
n. -, as a coaling station, is but the
natural return TO a place which for
many years, at intermittent periods,
has been shown to the shipping n
trade world, as the place for such a
station.
Geographically and physically South
port is an ideal location. II has not
only plenty of water for harbor and
anchorage pusposes, but the Cape e
bar is only limited to its depth, 80 far
as mechanical aid will deepen ii for
maritime needs. The climate Is ideal
because of its health giving and non
malarial properties. II is never too
not in summer or toe cold I'm winter.
The revival of the interest in South
port, n the fresh putting forth OF it's
claims as a coaling station, has at his
time the support OF the city of Viii
mington. This is a force which ought
to prove of immense aid, and be the
means of securing the railroad connec
ton which has been the crying need.
In order that Southport might be in
direct communication with the coal
fields of Tennessee or Virginia, or even
North Carolina.
But Southport, while the most suita-
BILE point on the Atlantic ocean for a
coaling station, being near the cea
on a line so that steamers could avoid
the dangers of Hatteras, ooaling at
Southport and then following the Gulf
Stream on its course for Europe, be-
sides these advantages, Southport as,
an established port with railroad con-
nection with the west, gives North Car
olina a seaport from which can be
shipped and exported its own products
and so save the transportation charges
which are now being paid railroads TO
haul these products TO Norfolk or Bal
timore.
The establishment of Southport with
good railroad connections means The
building up of the lower Cape Fear
section, and placing North Carolina
among the export states, and this be-
ing IrIe makes it the patriotic duty OF
