The case of ex-State Senator Geo. +.
Green. of Binghamton, New YORK,
reached the Supreme Court OF the United
States today. Green rests under three
indictments ia postal fraud cases and
three orders have been granted remoy-
ing him n Washington, ID. o., tor trlal.
These orders were granted by Judge
Raw. in the United States District Court
at Syracuse, New York, that judge dis
missing the pending writs OF habeas
CORPUS The orders were stayed pend
ing the appeal to She Supreme Court OF
the United States, which was received
today. The government through the Assls-
tant Attorney General will move that
! the appeal be dismissed on the ground
that ii is frivolous, intended only to oc-
casion delay, and raising no point that
has no: already been considered and de-
cided in the case of Geo. w. Beavers.
According TO a decision rendered by
the Manila Court of Customs OF Appeals,
copies of which have been received here,
contract laborers may be admitted into
the Philippines under certain conditions.
The case in question is that OF Ramirez
g. Co., who imported six photographers
from Germany under contract, paying
their passage across. The decision OF
the court is that a criminal action in
such a case does not lie, the true remedy
being a civil suit. The government will
take an appeal.
Additional details have been received
here dealing with the arrests made in
the Philippines of those influential ma
tiyes who are said to have been the real
i~nstipatnrs of the recent troubles IN
Cayite and Batangas provinces. The
most prominent of the captives are three
brothers-EmilianO, Mariana and Vic
ente Riego de DiOs. Emiliano was a
general in command of division dur
ing the Instruction, Mariana held
the rank of brigadier general and
Vicente was a colonel in the insurgent
army. They are men Of considerable
wealth and are said to have been in
frequent and direct communication with
Montalon, Felizard and other Ladron
leaders of the disaiected provinces.
They are believed not only to have given
the Ladrones information concerning the
movements of the American troops, but
TO have lent them more material aid.
The Philippine government considers
I their cases of great impOr ance
and Governor Wright has instructed
Attorney General Whitley to conduct
the prosecution in person. 1t is said
that the Riego de Dois brothers have
never been aught but thinly- disguised
enemies of the American government.
Emilisno was a member of the Hong
| Kong Junta and showed considerable
ability as the author Of blOod-thirsty
proclamations. He returned to Manila
about is months ago and took the oath
of allegiance on his arrival. Word has
