sums Of money IN connection with the
Improvement Of the harbor Of Savan-
nah. Then began one Of the most
celebrated cases In American criminal
jurisprudence. All three men had in
fuential friends. The two contract
ors, John T. GaynOr and Benjamin D.
Greene, had large wealth. All of them
fought the case with determination
and every device of shrewdness, every
technicality, that the ablest lawyers
could devise The army engineer,
Captain Oberlin M. Carter, after ex
hausting every legal resource, was con-
victed In 1899, and sentenced to
heavy fine and five years imprison-
ment. Greene and Gaynor forfeited
their bail and fed to Canada. For
years they were able to defy extradi-
ton, and before they could be brought
back to United States soil, their case
was carried by appeal to the highest
British court, the judicial committee
Of the privy council. The decision of
that court was in favor of the United
States, and the men were surrendered
and taken to Savannah, tried convict
ed, and sentenced to pay fine Of more
than half d million dollars each, and
to spend four years in prison. From
this sentence, rendered year ago last
April, the two prisoners took an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States, in the form of a petition
for writ of certiorari. Their petition
has been denied. The finding of the
Southern District Court of Georgia is
affirmed, and the prisoners are at last
in prison, where they must serve their
sentence. The celebrated case is set
tied. 1t was once remarked by a cyni-
cal New York politician that no man
who has a million dollars can be con-
victed Of serious crime in this coun-
try. The remark has often been quoted,
and perhaps has been believed by
many persons. The outcome of the
case against Greene and Gaynor will
go long way toward correcting this
pern1cious belief; for if ever the mat
ter had q fair test, this case has af-
forded it. 1t is one Of many cases in
which men of great wealth, defended
by the abIest lawyers, have been con-
victed and punished. The lesson of all
of them Is that the arm of the law is
long and it's memory tenacious, and in
the end all men are equal before it.

Columbus has one "shoeologist." He

mans handwriting or his eyes or the
way he wears his clothing betray some
characteristic part of his nature, so
does the way he wears his shoes out
also tell its story.
Why it IS so, even to a certain ex-
tent, Mr.. Cassidy doesn't pretend to
explain. The shape of the foot has
something to do with the way the shoe

ABETTED
It Is Not Believed, However, That the
Message VIII Make Any Change
in the Program for Ad-
jOurnment.

Washington. d. o., April o9.--The gem
eral talk about Congress yesterday was
to the effect that the presidents message
will not cause any change to be made in
tho tentative program to adjourn this
session ia about three weeks. For the
last two or three days there has been
more talk about May 23 than Of May Ia
as the quitting date. This last message
has tended to increase the resentment IN
Congress against the White House. The
Legislative leaders supposed they had
rachel working agreement with the
president week ago. Representative
Watson, the whip ofthe House, who
held several conferences with the pFesi.
dent at the request OF the speaker, got
the impression that the chief executive
Was willing to let Congress have it'll
way and SO reported to the speaker.
The tenor at that report Was that while
the president still felt that bis legisla-
tive program should be carried out, he
realized that it could not be put through,
and therefore, in the interest Of party
harmony. was willing TO remaiTi passive.
But few senators or representatives had
any intimation that another message
was coming III. Each branch Of the leg
islatiye body displayed its feelings BY

THEY WANT Sl.5O RAISE

Westerly, r. H, April 2o.-Now that
the grievances that have existed be.
tween the granite cutters and the man
pfacturers Of westerly have been sesI
tied, settlement Is looked for by
tho paving cutters, who nave been out
OH strike for several weeks. The
conditions remain about the same as
they did along near the beginning q
the trouble. The manufacturers assoc
ciotion demand that the paving cutters
sxork III the old schedule Of prices,
which have practically been the same
for the past six years. The old bill
reads that the paving cutters shall re
ceiye S27 a thousand PAYERS providing
they do the drilling and $2i a thous-
and II the company does the drilling.
The paving cutters ask in their new
OH for a raise of SlA50 per thousand.
The paving cutters met the associa-
ton last Saturday and made another
oder, it being that they be raised on
III sliding scale, ait the rate Of so cents
d thousand each year until the end Of
three years, when they shall receive the
$i.60 increase. The association would
not consider this method at the Satur-
day meeting, and consequently the
conditions remain about the same.
When the strike started there were
forty paving cutters at work in Wes-
terly, but today there are but eight in
town. The absent number have re-
eeived employment in other towns.
