Good YEAR OF THE COMMERCIAL CLUB

The annual dinner and meeting of the
Commercial Club drew a large gather
ing to the club rooms last night, and
the evening proved a most enjoyable
one. The election resulted in the
choice of F. c. Smith, Charles A. Bon,
George H. Angus, F. L. Waldron and
James d. Dougherty to the board of
governors for the three-year term, and
c. P. Morse was elected to fill the un-
expired term of John Guild. Four
of the members on the long term were
elected on the first ballot, but a second
one had to be taken to decide between
James d. Dougherty and w. D. Adams,
who were tied for fifth place on the
first one.
A very excellent repast was served,
and the attendance was the largest on
record, over seventy-fve persons be-
ing seated at the tables. A large
majority were members Of the club,
but there were also numerous guests
A Prosperous Year.

members having been added to the
club during the past twelve months
The total membership is now 261, 229

Emperor Nicholas Promptly Accepts

st. Petersburg.-Emperor Nicholas
promptly accepted the resignation of
p A. Stolypin, premier and minister
of the interior, and has named V. N.
Kokovsoff, minister of finance, to sue
coed him
Premier Stolypin presented his res
ignation personally to the emperor
His action was due to the rejection by
the council of the empire of the
Zemstvo bill for self-government in
the nine western provinces. The Sc
lection of M. Kokovsoff was made by
the emperor on NJ. Stolypin's recon-
mendation after his majesty had ex-
hausted all means to persuade the
latter to retain his post. The reac-
tionary groups, which plotted Stoly-
pins fall, thus get small satisfaction.
The present crisis, like that in 1909,
when the question of the reorganiza-
ton of the Russian admiralty came
near distrupting the cabinet, seems to
Indicate that the reactionaries lack a
statesman Of the proper caliber to
command his majesty's confidence.

NO IMMUNITY BATH
FOR BIG PACKERS
indictments Stand and They
Must Go to Trial.
JUDGE CARPENTER so RULES
Declares Decision Given by Judge
Humphrey Does Not Apply to
Present charges-GoVern-
n1aa to Rush Cases.

Chicago.-Holding that the immu-
nifty granted by Judge Humphrey
of the federal circuit court in 1906 did
not apply to the present charges.
which, he declared, we're based on
evidence not included in the Humph-
rey decision. Judge Carpenter in the
United States district court overruled
the demurrer fled by the indicted Chi
cago packers and they lost their fight
against going on trial on the indict-
mints obtained by the government
sc }eral months ago.
Judge Carpenters decision went
into the controversy relating to i'm
munity with great detail.
In brief, the packers position was
that any conspiracy that might have
existed was the plotting prior to
Judge Humphreys immunity decision,
and that the immunity from prosecu-
ton granted them extended over all
future time. so long as the acts COW
cred by the 1906 decision remained
the same.
In deciding this. Judge Carpenter
ruled that the immunity granted
them was only for acts which had oc-
Cured prior to the date of the indict.
ment and could not pertain to any I'M
lawful act which was performed after
that time. The evidence given by the
packers before the grand jury, he
said. could not relate to that which
had not occurred, and hence could
have no future application.
AS to the contention of the defense
that the conspiracy ended with the
first plotting, he ruled that so long as
the acts complained OF continued, the
conspiracy remained in effect, and
unlawful acts growing out of the con-
spiracy and occurring after the in
dicted men had testified before the
grand jury were new and separate Of
lenses and subject to the operation
Of law
In addition, the offenses admitted
before the grand jury by the packers
prior to their immunity and from the
criminal responsibility for which they
were freed by the Humphrey decision,
were defined by the court as none the
less criminal in themselves. He said
they could be used in prosecutions
which were predicated on a continual
tion of the oftenses.
Following are the defendants: Louis
F. Swift, E. F. Swift, Charles F. Swift,
Francis A. Fowler, Edward Tilden, ].
ogden Armour, Arthur Meeker,
Thomas j. Corners, Edward Morris
and Louis Fl. Heyman.
United States District Attorney
Sims said he would in a day or two
demand that the packers be brought
into court to plead to indictments
and have dates set for trial Sims
was jubilant over the ruling of Judge
Carpenter.

BENJAMIN D. GREENE
FREED; FINE QUASHED
Convicted of Savannah Fraud He
Takes Pauper's Oath at Atlanta
as Term Ends.

Atlanta. Ga.-Benjamin D. Greene
who was convicted of fraud in
the Savannah harbor improvements
and who has just completed a four.
year term in federal prison, was
granted his liberty after taking the
pauper's oath
Green's application for leave to
take the pauper's oath in order to es.
cape further liabilities for the S575, 600
fine imposed Oh the two men when
they were convicted was granted aft.
er hearing which lasted two days.
John F. Gaynor, Jointly convicted
with Greene, has completed his sen
tence in the federal prison His ap-
plication to take the paupeTs oath is
pending.
The case Of the government against
Greene and Gaynor was one of the
must unusual in the annals of Ameri-
can jurisprudence. More than a dec
ade ago these two were engaged in a
contractual million dollar improve
ment work in Savannah harbor, under
the supervision of Capt Oberlin NJ.
Carter.
Trouble began when Carter was ap-
pointed military attache at the court
of St. James. The army officer who
succeeded him, Capt Cassius E. Gil
lette, found evidences of fraud In the
work. which resulted In a three
months court-martial for Carter, a
fine, term in Leavenworth prison,
and. ultimately, in the conflscation by
the government Of money he was al
legged to have secured through the
harbor frauds.
Greene and Gaynor were indicted in
December, 1889 The case did not
come to trial in Savannah until March
6, 1902. There was an immediate
recess of a few days, during which
the defendants went to Canada The
extradidon laws did not apply to their
case and for about three years they
lived in Quebec, until on the grounds
of courtesy and friendship the British
government agreed to surrender the
fugitives.
Trial at Savannah began October
9, 1905, lasting until April 10, 1906,
when they were convicted Of embez-
element and sentenced to four years
Imprisonment each, and jointly to pay
a fine of $4,000.

TELLS UCHIDA OF
U. S. FRIENDSHIP
Taft Summonses japanese Envoy 70
White House-War Tales Are
Absurdities.

| Washington.-Pres Taft and
Baron Uchida, the Japanese ambassa
dor, had a lengthy and most cOrdia
conference at the White House.
Mr.. Taft sent for the baron to felici
tate with him upon the ratification Of
the new treaty between this country
and Japan. He took advantage Of the
| occasion to assure the ambassador
that never in the history OF the two
countries bad the relations been SC
pleasant as they are today: never had
talk Of war been more absurd.
President Taft expressed pleasure
at the opportunity to set at rest once
and for all the stories which have
been published from time to time dur.
ing the past two weeks that back OF
the ADMINISTRATORS action in sending
troops to the Mexican border was a
motive of precaution against some
expected treacherous act by Japan. 1t
also vas reported that Japan had Sc
cured from Mexico a coaling station
on the Pacific coast, to be used as a
base in attacking the United States.
amazed to find on his return from Au-
gusta that some newspapers had been
giving credence to these reports by
publishing them in a prominent man
ner. IL was the first he had heard of
them and he quickly expressed his re-
greet that such malicious Stories" as
he called them, should gain circula-
ton.
Baron Uchida is said TO have as
sured the president that he attached
no Importance to the reports and had
discovered that they emanated from
irresponsible sources. The interview
lasted for fully half an hour, the presi-
dent and the ambassador chatting
with unusual informality.
The president said the reports were
scarcely worth denying, but he de-
sired to set them at rest for all time.
The president asked Baron Uchida to
communicate these views directly to
the emperor OF Japan.
President Taft has been greatly an
noyed by tbs persistent reports to the
effect thaS Japan had negotiated q
secret agreement with Mexico for a
coaling station on the Pacific coast
and that the United States was menac-
ing Mexico as protest.
Denials from the Japanese embassy
and from the ambassador himself as
to the coaling station story. as well as
denials from the state department.
here as to any connection with the
maneuvers, have failed to stop the
reports. which the president regards
as malicious
While confident that the Japanese
ambassador needed no assurances
either private or official as to the pur-
poses of this government, President
Taft conceived the idea of inviting
Baron Uchida to the White House for
a conference so as to give the great
est publicity possible to denial which
the president hopes will carry convio
ton to the American people.
