British Privy Oounoil Decides Case in
Favor of American Government.

FUGITIVES MAY COME HOME FOR TRIAL
Ioiportaat Qaeslloa Growls Out of
Flight of Indicted Men In De
cided After Appeal
Arross Water.
i.ONI'ON. Feb. 8. Tha privy council ren
dered its decision this morning- in the
tJreene and nay nor case In favor of the
American government.
The council reversed the two judgments
of Justice Caron of Quebec. August 13,
fl2, and ordered the respondents to pay
the costs of the. appeal. The oouncll's de
cision caustically criticises tha action of
Justice Caron In releasing Greene and
Oaynor, and Caron's "extraordinary Inter
vention," and adds:
Where a prisoner is brought before a
ompetent tribunal charged with an ex
traditable offense, and Is remanded for the
express purpose of affording the prosecu
tion an opportunity of bringing; forward
evidence whereby the accusation is to be
supported: If In such a case on writ of
habeas corpus a learned Judge treats a
remand warrant as a nullity and proceeds
to ariiudleat the case as thoug-h the whole
evidence whs before him, it would paralyse
the administration of Justice and render It
impossible for proceedings In extradition
to be effective.
John R. Carter, second, secretary of the
American embassy; was present to hear the
decision and also to watch the appeal
against the decision of the supreme court
of Canada In the case of the flshtng
steamer Kitty Dee, captured by Canadian
cruiser on Lake Erie.
The decision simply reverses Justice
Caron's Judgments and leaves Greene and
Gaynor under - remand, as before Justice
Caron Intervened. '
The privy council this afternoon granted
the United States leave to appeal In the
Kitty Dee case after the vessel Is re
turned to the custody of the Canadian
court.
History of the Case.
' John P. Gaynor and Benjamin D. Greene
were Indicted In. Suvnnnah, Ga., December
8, 1W9. charged with embeislement and de
frauding the United States government, to
gether with Captain Obnrlln M. Carter, In
the performance of government contracts
for the Improvement of the Savannah river
and other river and harbor work In that
district, the Illicit profits being estimated
at fd.000,000.
Onynor and Greene were arrested in New
York. They contested extradition to
Georgia, and when the United States com
missioner decided that they must go to
that state and plead to the indictments
they fled to Canada. They had been at
liberty on S4A.000 bail each and this was
forfeited. Kfforts to extradite Gaynor and
Greene from Montreal were progressing
favorably and the extradition commission
was sluing In Montreal, when Gaynor and
Greene went to Quebec. A question arose
as to whether they oould be brought back
and detectives kidnaped them and took
them to Montreal.. There was a big legal
fight over this action and a Quebec Judge
Issued writ of hnbeas corpus, whioh
was served on the Jailer at Montreal, who

The first lesson that the young sir! has
ef womanhood is usually a painful one.
She learns to know what headache nteans,
and backache, and sometimes is sadly
borne down by this new experience of life. .
All the pain and misery which young"
girls cosnmoaly experience at suck; a time
may, in almost every instance, be entirely
prevented or cured by the nee of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It estab
lishes regularity. It tones np the general
health, and cures headache, backache,,
nervousness and other consequences of
womanly weakness or disease.
The anxious mother of the family often
times carries the whole burden of responsi
bility so far ss the home medication of
common ailments of the girls or boys sre
concerned. The cost of the doctor's visits
is very often much too great. At such
times the mother is invited to write to Dr.
X. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., for medical
advice, which is given free. Correspond
ence is held strictly confidential.
Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such ss no other remedy for the diaesaes
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors aud makers of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering; to pay tjoo in
legal money of the United States for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro
latuus. or Falline- of Womb, which thev
V cannot cure. All the World 'a Dispensary

mitted them to be rushed back to Quebec
Efforts to quash the writ of habeas
corpus under which they had been re
turned were denied by Justice Caron.
After a long legal controversy Gaynor and
Greeen obtained their liberty within the
limits of the province of Quebec. ' The
United States government then appealed
to tha privy council of England, the highest
court In that country.
American Counsel Itetlcent.
MONTREAL, Feb. 8. Donald MacMaster,
K. C, counsel for the United States In
the Gaynor-Greene case, refused to dis
cuss the next steps to be taken in the
case, but gave out his own cablegram, giv
ing a synopsis of the privy council de
cision, as follows:
Decisive Judgment given today In favor
of the United States. Jurisdiction of Judge
La Fontaine of Montreal, who initiated
proceedings, confirmed. Judge Andrews'
(Quebec) Judgment approved. Judicial
committee privy council refer to Judge
Caron's (Quebec) extraordinary interven
tion as calculated to paralyze administra
tion of Justice. Committee saya he mis
apprehended Andrews' Judgment and con
fused reasons. Caron's two Judgments re
versed. Gaynor and Greene ordered to pay
all coats.
Judge La Fontaine, extradition commis
sioner,, before whom the case was being
heard on Its merits at the time of tho
habeas corpus proceedings, said today:
Unless something unforeseen occurs the
sheriff of Quebec will now have to deliver
the prisoners to Governor Vallee at the
Montreal Jail, and they will then be brought
before me and the regular trial, halted by
the writ of habeas corpus, will be recom
menced. I shall then, upon the evidence
submitted, decide whether or not there la
sufficient grounds for extraditing the ac
cused. . ., . .
Fna-itlvas Will Wot Talk.'
QUEBEC, Feb. 8. The news from Lon
don that the privy council had maintained
the appeal of the American government In
the Oaynor-Greene case waa received with
surprise In certain quarters here, while In
legal clrolee the decision waa rather ex
pected. The correspondent of the Associ
ated Press tried to obtain an interview
with Colonel Oaynor and Captain Greene
at their residences, but the former, speak
ing over the telephone, stated that he had
nothing to say, as their case was in the
hands of their attorneys, whom they had
not seen as yet.
As to farther Steps.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. -Alt hough suffi
cient detail Is not yet before the law, of
ficers here to warrant a final opinion as
to the effect of the privy council's decision
In the Gaynor-Greene case, the present
understanding la that It will result In the
Immediate rearrest of Gaynor. and Greene,
who are now at large In Quebec under
surveillance of Washington secret service
officers.
If the renewed application for extradition
Is granted the men will be brought to
Atlanta, Ga., for trial on charges growing
out of the misappropriation of government
money In connection with t,he river and
harbor works on the Georgia coast under
the administration of Captain Oberlln M
Carter.
The officials feel thst their hands have
been much strengthened in dealing with
extradition cases between the United States
and Canada by this particular decision
indicating as It does a disposition, on the
part of the British authorities to waive
trifling technicalities snd resolve any
doubts In the extradition treaty in its
spirit rather than In its letter.

bill, which was approved at the meeting
last evening, Introduced In the legislature
and use their efforts to secure Its passage,
The bill Is substantially the same as the
one which was passed at the last session
by large majorities fn both houses. Owing
to what was feared were constitutional
defects In the bill. It having foiled to re
peal some other sections In the mad law,
Governor Mickey, on the advice of the at
torney general, vetoed It. The present bill
remedies these defects and has the ap
proval as to Its constitutionality of Attor
ney General Brown. The conference is en
thusiastic over this bill and expects It will
become a law without serious opposition.
The question of the advisability of effect
ing a permanent organization was then
taken up and after a brief discussion, in
which every sneaker reported himself
freartllv In favor of the movement, a reso.
lutlon to forrrl such an organisation was
unanimously adopted and the following

A resolution was submitted by G. O.
Pearson of Flattsmouth calling for a uni
form and stringent sVstem among retailers

The conference seemed to be of the opinion
that it was not within the scope of their
objects and It was laid on the table by a
decisive vote.

The committee on narcels post submitted
its report In which it condemned In em
phatic language all the bills for that pur
pose now pending In congress as tending
to build up the catalogue houses at the
expense of the retailers In . tho smaller
cities and villages and requested the sen
ators and congressmen from this state to
use their efforts to defeat it. The resolul
tlons were unanimously adopted.
It was Intended to close the session this
morning, but the committee on constitu
tion was not ready and there were several
other matters to be brought up and at 1
o'clock a recess was taken until 2. It was
considerably later than that hour, how
ever, when Chairman Hostetter again
called the conference to order and the
committee on constitution submitted Its
report.,
The committee on parks, by J. W. Pear
son of Wahoo, chairman, submitted Its
report, which endorsed the bills now pend
ing In the legislature for the maintenance
of parks In cities under 5,000 population,
which was adopted.

The house finance ways snd means com
mittee has completed the salaries ap

duce It tomorrow. The bill carries a total
of 1,0P6.W0, as compared with 8393.540 two
years ago. The increase of 8102,43) Is ac
counted for by Chairman Wilson of Fawnee
In this way: The university gets an In
crease of (60,000; the Peru Normal about
816.000 and the first 'appropriation Is made
for the new normal at Kearney. This
Is approximately 8n8,O0Q. This school at
Kearney Is not yet completed but will be
very soon. The committee finds a greater
Increase In attendance at the Peru normal
than ever before and feels that In view
of this and the entirely new appropriation
for Kearney the total Is ss low as could
consistently be made.
The house committee had agreed to raise
Assistant Secretary of State Mill
er's salary to 11,800, but the senate
committee cut this to II. W0, because the
statutes provide the latter figure. Tho
senate committee agreed, however, to
favor the Increase If Mr. Miller would
get at the matter through a bill. He will,
therefore, hsvs a bill Introduced.
