ferred and ,3SO,400 common, all

The first plan was to pursue the
same route as that of the Western
Union, land line system from New

cable system from Florida to Havana.
However the trustees have decided to
lay submarine cable direct from
New York to Havana. thereby giving
a three-minute service as against an

GREENE: AND GAYN0R
CASE CALLED FOR ARGUMENT IN
 U. s. CIRCUIT COURT.
A SEVEN YEARS LEGAL BATTLE
The Defense Argues Demurrer to the First Indictment for
 Conspiracy.

New Orleans, La.-Entering it's eighth year of legal battle, the case of Benjamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor, convicted of defrauding the government of over half million dol lars in Savannah hagbor improvements, was called for argument Monday in the United States circuit court of ap- peals upon a writ Of error from the federal court at Savannah.
 The demurrer to the first indictment for conspiracy was argued by the de- fense. 1t was pointed out that when this indictment came up before Judge Brown of New York he condemned the first eight out of ten counts, while later when the same indictment came up before Judge Speer of Savannah, the latter condemned the two counts winch Judge Brown had sustained while sustaining the eight counts which Judge Brown had condemned.
 It was argued that Greene and Gaynor were extradited from Canada for participation in fraud by an agent or trustee. In Savannah, however, the attorney said they were tried upon a charge of conspiracy and this amount ed to trying them for a different of- fense than they were extradited for
 As for the indictment for embezzle- ment, it was claimed that the proof in the Savannah court showed that the alleged payment of money for their use had been made in New York.
 The argument for the defense had not been concluded when court ad- journed for the day.

 WANDER OF COMPANY C.
VAS SHOT BY. NEGROES IN RENO
Capt. Macklin to Be Tried by Court Martial When He Returns
 to Texas.

Washington, D. C.-The testimony of Captain Edgar A. Macklin, of Company c. TWenty-fifth infantry, was taken by the senate committee on mili- tary affairs yesterday in the Browns vile investigation. It proved interest ing, particularly for the reason that Macklin is to be tried by court-martial after his return to Texas and fTr the further reason that he was shoC ty an unidentified negro at Fort Reno after the negro soldiers were taken away from Fort Brown. Macklin does not believe the negroes were guilty Of shooting up Brownsville, according to his story told on the stand Monday.
 At the afternoon session Capt. Mack lin was cross-eXamined, principally as to his whereabouts when the shooting occurred and the evidence given by former negro soldiers that they had been unable to find the captain in his quarters when Major Penrose sent them to arouse him. Capt. Mack 'in said that he did not believe the sol diers had come to his quarters. The shells which Capt. Macklin picked up outside the garrison wall were put in his desk, he said, and were forgotten until after the battalion left Fort Brown. Search for them later had been unavailing.
 Chairman Warren questioned Capt Macklin concerning the attack upon him at Fort Reno, after the Browns vile affray, when the captain was shot through the head. The witness said he was in doubt as to who did the shooting.
 Officers of my regiment tried to make me believe that the shooting was for the purpose of robbery he said, Out it is my own theory that t was not He said the shooting had been done by a masked negro, but he knew nothing more concerning 1t. Cor poral Knowles of Company A, Twenty fifth infantry, is under arrest charged with having committed the assault but Capt. MacAlin said that tha evi. dence against Knowles is purely cir cumstantial.
