Savannah. Ca, Jan. 11.-Upon the con-
vening OF the Federal court yesterday A.
A. Lawrence. of counsel for Greene and
Gaynor. resumed his argument in sup

the defence. the two indictments re-
turned I'm 1899 and 1902. respectively. Mr.
Lawrence quoted extensively from au-
thoritieS relative to crimes andoffences
eXtradltable, holding that the defendants
had been extradited from Canada upon
charges OF conspiracy
The counsel asserted that never, among
all the extraditions or requests for ex-
tradition TO Great Britain was there one
based on a charge OF conspiracy, and that
OF the nearly 200 extraditions secured by
the United States from various countries
with which IL has extradltion treaties
not one has been upon a charge of con
spiracy.
In response TO a request from the court.
Mr. Lawrence read the Indictment brought
in 1902 against the defendants, and then
Judge Speer asked Special Assistant At
torney General Erwin to indicate the gov
ernments position.
Mr. Erwin said the government CON
tends that there was "A conspiracy to de-
fraud, and that the putting Of this fraud
into operation constituted fraud and was
therefore extraditable. There were speci-
sisting OF the presentation for payment
OF fraudulent accounts.
Mr.. Lawrence argued that the last two

charges under which they could be extra

Mr.. Erwin replied that they had been
extradited for participating in fraud with

If Mr.. Rogers should be directed by the
court TO answer the questions and he
should then refuse In all probability he
would be committed TO jail for contempt

would have the right TO appeal TO the
appellate division in a case OF that kind
is a disputed question.
Another man that Mr.. Hadley Is ex-

Railroads and Merchants at Odds Over
Rates.

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 15.-What
will probably result in lively fight between
the railroads in the Central Freight Traffic
Association territory and the Pittsburg COM
mission merchants has been started and the
interstate commerce commission will be
asked to settle the controversy unless con-
cessions are made by the railroads.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany yesterday notified the commission men
in this vicinity that hereafter they must pay
in advance all freight rates on persihable
goods.
The dealers in this class of goods claim
this demand is unfair, and at meeting to
be held here next month by the Pittsburg
branch of the National Association of Com
mission Merchants an appeal will be made
to the interstate commerce commission for
some relief
The Baltimore and Ohio is the only rail-
road in Pittsburg that has taken any such
action so far, but it is said similar demands
will be made by every road in the central
territory in accordance with ruling of the
Central Freight Traffic Association at a re-
cent meeting in Chicago.

liberating prisoners after their terms had
expired, claiming that instead of turning
them loose on the community penniless
plan should be devised for sending them
away from the neighborhood. Mr.. Lark

GOULD IN GREAT STORM.
His Yacht Atalanta Weathered a
Heavy Gulf Hurricane.

NEW YORK, December 15.-It was only
after George ]. Gould, Mrs. Gould and
their guests had left the yacht ATLANTA,
after her arrival in port yesterday, that the
story came out that this costly yacht had
passed through a tremendous storm in the
Gulf stream. Capt. Tod said it was only by
the grace of God and good luck that Mr..
and Mrs. Gould and their guests reached
New York in safety.
The ATLANTA left Southampton for Ham
ilton, Bermuda, November 10. During the
trip there was rough weather all the way
and two lifeboats were smashed. At Ham
ilton Mr.. and Mrs. Gould and four guests
got on board and the yacht started for New
York.
Everything went well for twenty-four
hours, and then came the Gulf stream and
trouble. The wind set in from the north
east and seas came tumbling down on the
yacht like avalanches. Mr.. Gould, clad in
oilskins, stood on the bridge with Capt.
Tod.
81 want to see how she'll stand the
racket" he said'to Capt. Tod.
Twice the bridge was swept by icy water,
but each time Mr.. Gould and the captain
seized the rails, ducked their heads and the
waves rolled away to leeward without
doing damage to anything more than the
deck fittings.
the drawing room of the yacht and did not
seem to feel they were in danger
'She's the greatest sea boat af1oat," said
Capt. Tod today.
The ATLANTA is magnificent sea-going
ship, and her fittings are probably the most
expensive of any craft afioat. The main
dining room is furnished in mahogany, with
a rich red carpet and dark red curtains over
the stained glass windows. A solid silver
punch bowl adorns the sideboard, and by
it's side are dozen cut-glass goblets which
were presented to Mr.. Gould by the German
emperor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gould's private rooms are
the most elaborate which have ever been
conceived on an ocean-going vessel. The
bed room, which is finished in quartered
oak, Is nearly twenty feet square. Two
brass beds occupy the center of the room
and bath rooms open from either side. Just
aft Of this is Mr.. Gould's boudoir. which
contains an open fireplace and is richly up
holstered in silk.
The ATLANTA carries a crew Of nearly
100 men, q of whom are in the engineers
department She has two steam launches
and one propelled by electricity.
Mr. and Mrs. Gould expect to leave New
York on the yacht next week for winter
cruise in Florida.
