NEW FEATURE IN HAzlNG CASE
Right 40 Compel Upper Classmen to
Testify Occupies Court
All Day.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, Jan. l0.-After an at
tempt lasting over an hour to arrive at
exact conclusions as to how far an upper
classman could be compelled to testify as
to his knowledge of hazing incidents in a
case in which another midshipman is under
trial upon the charge of encouraging or
countenancing hazing," the court martial
now engaged in the trial of Mdshipman
Stephen Decatur, jr., at the Naval acad-
envy rendered no decision and adjourned
until tomorrow. when the Judge advocate is
expected to inform the court in the matter
The point came up after Mdshipman
Petersen b. Marzon had objected answer
ini: a question as to hazing which. it is
alleged, had gone on before him. In the
former court martial of Midshipman De-
catur, Marzoni testified that he was present
when Fourth Classman Gaylord Church
was hazed by being compelled to do 'the
sixteenth" and that Decatur was present
Proof of active participation in hazng was
necessary OF fix that charge. In the pres
ent trial. however, encouraging or coun-
tenancing hazing" is charged, and II is
claimed that no midshipman who was
actually present, particularly a first class
man. could testify without discriminating
himself.
AS it Is expected that all OF the cases
yet to be tried will contain a charge and
specification relative to encouraging and
countenancing hazlng" the decision upon
this point is considered important

p. Stickney of the Chicago Great Western

the Minnesota Municipal convention on
The Railways and the People
Among other things Mr.. Stickney said on
the subject of watered stock:
There is no distinction in this respect
between railway capitalization and the
capitalization of other fixed property, which
would in any degree Justify such discrirhin-
atsng legislation, because 1t is well known
that there IL more water" in the capitali-
zation of other forms of fixed property
than in railway properties.
IL is well k~wn that the capital value
of the farms and other fixed property OF
the nation contains one part of actual
cash cost" to ten or more of water, which
exceeds by many fold the ratio of cash"
to water in the proudest re-organized
railway company.
AS to railway rebates the speaker said:
Experience has proven that, under present
conditions. without effective support from
the law, railways are .powerless to prevent
rebates, and kindred devices, and expert
ences has proven as long as rebates exist
no manufacturing or mercantile business
is safe.
The remedy by consolidation of railroads
into one strong enough 10 defy rebate
seekers would be worse than the disease,

PLEA OF GREENE AND GAYNOR
Attorneys for Contractors Charged
with Fraud AIiese Extradi-
tion is Illegal.

SAVANNAH. Ca, jan 1O.-The Greene
and Gaynor case involving charges of con-
spiracy to defraud the government and en-
bezzlement in connection with the govern
ment engineering works In this vicinity,
today did not reach the point of drawing
jury for the actual trial, so slow is the
progress made in the presentation of the
defendants special plea and its opposition
by the prosecuting attorneys. Today, like
yesterday, was consumed in the considera-
ton of this special plea and there is every
reason to believe that II may be next week
before the jury stage of the case is
reached.
Upon the convening of the federal court to-
day A. A. Lawrence of counsel for Greene
and Gaynor resumed his argument in sup
port of the plea in abatement offered by the
defense yesterday to the two indictments re-
turned in 1899 and 1902, respectively, claim
ing that conspiracy is not extraditabie.
Mr.. Erwin said the government contended
that there was a conspiracy to defraud and
that this was put into operation and that
the putting Of this into operation con-
stituted fraud and was therefore extradita-
BILE. The specified offenses, too. in the in
dictment, one consisting OF the presenta-
tion for payment for fraudulent accounts
'were they extradited for conspiracy"
asked the court. Mr.. Erwin replied that
they had been extradited for participation
in fraud with an agent. this agent having
been Captain Carter.
Upon the conclusion OF the argument OF
Mr.. Erwin. H. W. Meldrim. leading counsel
for the defense. followed in support OF the
contention that the defendants could not
be brought back to the United States from
Canada upon one charge and then tried
upon a different one.
Before Mr.. Meldrim had concluded his
argument an adjournment was taken dntil
