Stin Fighting the Government,
After Eight Years.

New Orleans, April 2.--Entering 1t,
eighth year of legal battle, the cas-,
Of Benjamin ID. Greene and John F
Gaynor, convicted of defrauding tn,
government of over $500. 900 in Savan
nah harbor improvements, was called
for argument Monday in the United
States circuit court of appeals upon
writ of error from the federal court q
Savannah
A. A. Lawrence, of counsel TO-
Greene and Gaynor, occupied the en-
tire session and had not concluded
argument when court adjourned fol
the day.
A demurrer to the first indictment
for conspiracy was argued. 1t was
pointed out that when this indictmen
came up before Judge Brown, o.
Now York, he condemned the frs
eight out Of the ten counts, while latel
when the same indictment came nj
before Judge Speer, Of Savannah, thu
latter condemned the two counts
which Judge Brown sustained, whil'
sustaining the eight counts which
Judge Brown had condemned.
Next the famous extradition o
Greene and Gaynor was attacked /
was argued that they were extraditet
from Canada for participation IL
fraud by an agent or trustee. In Sa
vannah, however, Mr.. Lawrence said
they were tried upon a charge Of con
spiracy and this amounted to tryin,
them for different offense than the!
were extradited for.
AS for their indictment for embez
Element, it was claimed that the proc
in the Savannah court showed tina
the alleged payment of money To-
their use occurred in New York City
The defense contended, therefore
that only the courts Of the Southern
district of New York had jurisdiction
in the embezzlement charge.
The last point in the days argu
ment was the use of at least a CARLOAD
of books of brokers. trust companies

And Does Not Recede
from His Position.
AS TO RAILROADS.
President Roosevelt Reiterstes His
Belief that Government Control
Of Railroads Is Needed.

Washington, April 2.---Instead OF
backing down from his position to
wards the railroads and laying away
the big stick" to gather dust in an
attic corner President Roosevelt will
stand firm and continue to swing the
club for a square deal. His position
is clearly set forth in a letter sent to
President Smith, of the Illinois Manu-.
facturers' association, in which the
president, while declining the associ
atoms invitation to speak in Spring
field, ILL.,, on the railway situation, at
the same time reiterates his belief
that government control Of railroads
is needed as much as ever.
Referring to his messages to con.
gress and 70 speeches at Raleigh, N
c., October 10, 1906, and to delega
ton Of railway employees here, No
vember IA. 1906, inclosed In his letter
the president writes to Mr.. Smith:
81 am more than ever convinced
that the policies ! recommended in
my speeches and messages to con
gress are wise and must be carried
out. What has occurred since l wrote
the two messages strikingly illus
trates the desirability of the course
mapped out. Present laws are defec
tive and need amendment. Effort tc
wipe out all restraint Of competition
whether good or bad, is unwise. Fol-
instance, the rebate evil was brought
about largely by the domination o.
some big shipper, such as the Stand
ard Oil Co. II railways had the righ
to combine against rate discrimina
tions, we would see the end of one
great evil.
what we need is national com
mission with ample power to forbit
competition hurtful to one individual
or to the public and in case 1t find
such discrimination to fix maximum
rate to be effective at once and unit
reversed by the courts. This Is not ,
revolutionary proposal; n Is merel.
the same power exercised over tn
railways as the government now exer
cises over national banks.
What we need is a, real, not
sham control, forShe American peopl
abhor sham. Nothing Is more In
furious than law which Is merel
sham and fury, mere pretense, iu
capable of accomplishing tangible re
suits. Such power must be exercise
with wisdom. 1t is the duty Of tn

protect a railroad that is in the righ
against public camor. To do othei
wise would be as great wrong a
corruptly to render an improper ser,

rich man as well as the poor maj
but no more. Let each stand on hi
merits. receive his due, and be judge
according to his deserts"

it. It understands, however, clearly
what the proposal is which is involved
in the unwritten law and it can be
relied upon to fight its introduction
here. If we are to have it generally in
troduced We need to prepare not
for the millennium but for a condition
of anarchy. We shall need to tear up
the social compact and declare in its
place that men are not only born
equal but that they have been endowed
with like abilities which enable them
to judge at once and without a hear
ing of each emergency as 1t arises.
The substitution of vigilance COM
mittee would in time be essential Of
course, but the penalty that would have
to be suffered first for departing from
accepted customs would be severe in
the extreme. If the South prefers to
depend upon the unwritten law as a
means Of defending the home it can
presumably do so, but it is time the
North considered it more seriously than
1t has yet done In order to escape
what appears to be its fascination, Once
admit the principle, if it can be called
principle, in ever so slight a degree
and 1t will straightway make for
trouble.

ADDITIONAL YTCE-PRESTDENT.

The announcement that John F.
Stevens, who was formerly the engineer
In charge Of the Panama canal, has
been made vice-presIdent of the New
Haven railroad has double signifi-
canoe. In the first place it shows that
President Mellen Is to rid himself of
some of the burden he has been carry
ing, thus leaving himself free to at
tend to the larger responsibilities. In
the second place 1t shows that before
he rs through with the organization Of
the property 1t will be in the hands Of
the best experts obtalnable.
1t is well on the whole that some of
the earlier officials of the New Haven
railroad have no way Of learning what
is now being done with the property.
If they did they would worry them
selves into flt of sickness They
would see that their old family policy
has been abandoned for a broader poll
cy based upon ascertained fitness. 1t
is no longer necessary for an official
of the road to have been born In the
State of Connecticut or to have known
intimately the men who originally built
1t. To-day men are selected for what
they have done and they are taken
from any railroad in the land and no
one says a word unless it is to ex-
press increased confidence in the new
management.
When one really appreciates this fact
It's rather amusing to recall the ap-
prehension that used to be expressed
whenever a new officer was appointed
The directorate was impressively warn
ed that the company was Connecti-
cut institution and not to be trusted to
other than Connecticut hands. Times
have certainly changed.
