Effect of Decision Discussed In Wishing

Aatbsrltles aotlclpited Finding
by the Higher Aalborlty.
By Cable to ths Horning Star
Lobdost, Feb. 8. The privy coun
ell rendered its decision this morning
in the Greene Gaynor case.in favor of
the American government. Tbe coun
cil reversed the two judgments cf
Justice Caron, of Quebec, Aug. 13,
1902, and ordered the respondents to
pay the cost of the appeal. The coun.
ell's decision caustically criticises the
action of Justice Caron In releasing
Greene and Gaynor as Caron's "ex
traordinary intervention", and adds:
"Where a prisoner it brought before
a competent tribunal charged with an
extradition offense and Is remanded
for the express purpose of affording
the prosecution an opportunity of
bringing forward evidence whereby
tbe accusation is to be supported, if in
such a esse upon a writ of habeas cor
pus, a Judge treats a remand warraot
as a nullity and proceeds to adjudicate
the case as though tbe whole evidence
was before him It Would paraljzs the
administration of justice and render it
Impossible for proceedings In extradl
lion to be effective."
The declaton simply reverses Justice
Caron' judgments and leaves Greene
and Gaynor under remand as before
Justice Caron Intervened.
John F. Gaynor and Benjamin D.
Greene were Indicted' in Savannah,
Ga., Dec. 8tb, 1699, charged with em
brzz ement and defrauding tbe United
States Government, together with Oapt.
Oberlin M. Carter, In tbe performance
or government contracts for tbe im
provement of the Savannah river and
other river and harbor work in that
district, the Illicit profits being estima

were arrested in New York. Thev con
tested extradition to Georgia, and
when the United States commissioner
decided that they must go to that
Stale and plead to the indictments
they fled to Canada. They had been
at liberty on $40,000 bail each and this
was forfeited. Efforts to extradite
Gaycor and Greene.!"" Montreal
were progressing favoYasfy and the
extradition commlsaion was sittiDg
in uomreai when both ttaynor ana
ureene went to Quebec. Toe question
aroie as to whether they could be
brought back and detectives kidnapped
mem ana took tbem to Montreal.
There was a big legal fight over this
action and- a Quebec judge issued
a writ of habeas corpus, which
was served on the jailor at Montreal.
wno ae lvered up tne prisoners with
out notification to the extradition trib
unal and permitted tbem to be rushed
back to Q icbec. Efforts to quash the
writ or habeas corpus under which
they bad been returned were denied
by Justice Caron. After a long legal
controversy, Gsynor and Greene ob
talned their licerly within tbe limits
of the province of Quebec. The United
stales government then appealed to
the privy council of Eaglacd, the
highest court in that country.
TO PUSH FOB EXTRADITION'.
Uacok, Ga.. Fob. 8. When in
formed of the decision of the English
privy council In the Greene-Gaynor
case to day, special Assistant Attorney
G-neraf Marion Er win, who prepared
the papers ia the caie, declined to
make any statement until be bsd
beard more of tbe decision. He de
clared, however, that tbe fight to bring
the men back to tbe United States will
be pushed with more energy than ever
before, now that the government has
won the first legal battle. Mr. Erwin
was uoab.e to state the next steps to
be taken, as tbe news of the decision
had only reached him.
THE FUTURE O0UBSE.
Montreal, Feb. 8. Judge LaFon-
taine, extradition commisaioner, be
fore whom the cases was being beard
on its merits at the time of the habeas
corpus proceedings, said today:
'Unless something uniorseen occurs
the sheriff of Quebec will now have
to deliver the prisoners to Governor
Vallee at tbe Montreal jail and they
will then be brought before me and
tbe regular trial, haltered by the writ
of habeas corpus, will be re commenc
ed. I shall then upon the evidence
submitted decie whether or not there is
sufficient grounds for extraditing tbe
accused. I presume, however, that
nothing whatever will be done until
tbe receipt in Quebec of tbe official
papers announcing the decision ox tne
judicial cmiuittee."
WASHINGTON, DCD. 8 lUe Biaiq
Department received notice of ibe
action of tbe privy council through
the following caslegram from Am
bassador Choate: "Court decided in
our favor In relation to Gaynor
Greeoe case. Opinion rendered' by
Lird Chancellor; also in case of tbe
Kitty D. vs. tbe King, the court
granted leave to appeal on condition
of return of vessel to custody."
Although sufficient detail is not yet
before tbe law officers here to warrant
a nnai opinion as to tne eatxt ot iue
Drivy council's decision, the present
understanding is that it will result in
the immediate re-arrest of Gaynor
nd Greene, who are now at large In
Qiebec under surveillance. of Wash
ington secret service omcers. mere
will ba a re opeiiing of the extradition
oroceedings before Judge Andrews,
which bad been vacated or Justice
Carou'a action, and the officials here
feel sure that the request lor exiraai
lion will be granted.
Oavnor and Greene are technically
charged wi.b obtaining government
monev under false pretenses ana tne
appl. cation for extradition was denied
in 1903 by Judge Caron, on tbe
ground that no auch offence was set
out In the extradition treaty. If the
renewed application Is granted tne men
will be brought to Atlanta, Us., lor
trial.
Tne Attorney General, speaking to
day of the decision of the judicisl com
ml tee of tbo privy council in the
Greene-Uaynor cases, said that for
various and obvious reasons and e
pecially before the receipt of the full
text of the opinion, it Is impossible to
peak of Us effect and the precise result
upon the future programmeof the
government toward tbe accused. "The
government is, of course, greatly
gra.i&edatlhe result," be said. "It
nas always been convinced that tbe
decision and ac.iou of Judge Caron In
discharging tbe defendants wss erro
neous and urjjusuflable, and bas been
confident of success in its contentions
betore the privy council. It seems
clear from the cablegram reports of
the decision thai the jurisdiction of
the Montreal extradition commission

rant of arrest valid in Guebec, is
sustained, and that, while on the
other hand, after the action of Justice

completion of LsFontalne's inquiry,
Justice Caron. while having jurlsdic

to follow the remand. He was there
fore in error In tsklng the case on the
merits and d acbarging tbe prisoners
before tbe United States had enjoyed
a full opportunity to make out its case
under i ,a treaties. It seems that the
opinloi of tbe privy council denomi

of Battle Oreek, Mich., who has inter
ested himself largely in the eslabllsh-
ment of a parcels post system, todsy
filed with President pro tempore Frye
of the Senate, a petition for tbe ex
pulsion of Senator Thomas O. Plait,
from tbe 8enate. The petition is based
on tbe assertion that vr. Piatt as the
executive officer of the United States

spiracy to main identical rates among

Piatt has told representatives of his

seriously affecting his company's in
ten st. In his petition Mr. Post
charges the six express companies of
tbe United States with conspiring to
violate the antitrust act by monopo
lizing tbe express business of tha coun-
Uy and fixing the rates. He a-leges
that "by reason of the unlawful
combination the express companya
have maintained chargas for all the
different kinds of business far In ex
cess of reasonable rates."
He then mentions the post check
currency bill, which have for several
years been before Congress and says
that by the plans proposed in them
much of the business of sending small
sums of money through the mails
"wnich Is now transacted by the ex

nt of the people of the United

Mr. Post charges that la his capaci

By Teiagrapa to up Moraine Btar.
Washington, Feb. 8. Although
the result of the Presidential election
was known early on the evening of
November 8, it was not until to-day
when the Senate and House met in
joint session tbat Theodore Roosevelt
and Charles W. Fairbanks were offi
cially declared to be elected President
and vice President respective
ly for ' four years ' beginning
March 4, 1904. This quadrennial
function of Congress attracted to the
Houie chamber, where the electoral
vote .was canvassed, an immense
gathering, prominent among the au
ditors being Mrs. Eoosevell, Miss AN
lice Boosevelt, tbe President's sister.
Mrs. Captain Oowles. and Mrs. Charle.
W. Fairbanks, wife of tbe Ylce President-elect.
' President ' proiempore
Frye, of tbe Senate, presided ana de
livered the announcement of the re
sult of the count which showed tbat
Roosevelt and Fairbanks received 386
electoral votes and Parker and Davis
110. Tbe whole proceeding consumed
ezsctly fifty minutes, thereby estab
lishing a new record In counting the
electoral vote.
The tellers of the two Houses,
Messrs. Burrows, of Michigan, and
Bailev. of Texas, on the part of the
Senate, and Gaines of West Virginia,
and liusiell, or Texas, an tne part or
tbe House, took their places at tbe
speaker's desk, and the certificates
were read, by esch teller in turn.
Alabama came first, tbe certificate
showing tbat Judge Alton B. Parker,
of New York, and Henry O. Davis,
of West Virginia, had received the 11
votes of tbat State. The Democrats
liberally applauded. The other States
were called In alpbabetioal order. The
first mention ot President Roosevelt's
name came when tbe State of Call
fornia was announced. This also was
the signal of applause from the Re
publican aide.
The announcement . tbat Maryland
hsd given one vote for Roosevelt
and Fairbanks was greeted with ap
plause and much hand clapping by
Republicans, which was renewed by
Democrats when the further an
nounncement was made that Parker
and Davis had received tbe remaining
seven votes.
Tnere was marked demonstration by
the Republicans when Missouri's 18
votes were announced as having been
cast for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Tbe
applause came mostly from members
of the House.
By a coincidence, it fell to the lot of
Senator Bailey to read the vote of his
own State, Texas. General applause
greeted him as he announced tbat
Parker and Davis had received the 18
votes of tbat Btate. A similar coinci
dence occurred when Mr. Gaines read
the vole of West Virginia.
As soon as tha votes of all States
had been read. Senator Frye directed
the tellers to make formal announce
ment of the result. Senator Frye re
capitulated the vote and then made
tbe following announcement:
"This announcement of tbe slate of
the vote by the president of the Sen
ate shall be deemed a sufficient decla
ration of the persons elected Presi
dent and Vice President of tbe United
States esch for the term beginning
March 4, 1905, and shall be entered,
together with a list of the votes, on
the journals of the 8enate. and House
of Representatives." This ended tha
proceedings.
For two bours preceding ana lor
three hours following the count of the
vole, the question of freight rate
regulation held full sway. As on the
previous day of the debate, both Re
publicans and Democrats claimed me
credit for originating the present leg
Islatlon. r
Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia, supporting
tbe minority bill, explained the atti
tude of the South "as not being radical.
It was, be insisted, conservative and
he said that when the time came to
preserve tbe country from radicalism.
socialism or anarchy, tbe South would
rally to its support and save it from
destruction.
Insincerity was ascribed to the Re
publicans by Mr. Cochran, of Missouri.
In tbe matter of rate legislation, he
said tbat It was not intended to pass
the proposed legislation, but simply to
do something to pacify public senti
ment.
Mr. Each, of Wisconsin, was assist
ed in framing the Towsend bill,
summed up tbe arguments for and
against that bill up to the present
time. Some, he said, hsd regarded it
as the most Important legislation since
the rebellion, while others had con
tended it amounted to nothing. Bach
extreme views he held to be indicative
of tbe fact that the bill was what tt
was claimed to be a compromise. He
then entsred into a lengthy discussion
justifying the action of the majority
of tn committee in providing tne spa
c'al court of transportation feature,
upon which he said opposition seemed
to be centered.
Maintaining that tbe railroads con
stituted a trust, Mr. Pou, of North
Carolina, while not questlonlig the
sincerity of tbe President, said he Was
or a party that belonged body and soul
to the trusts and tbat any legislation
which popular clamor forced would
bs the ml.dest and least hurtful to the
railroads that Republican ingenuity
could possibly evolve.
Mr. James, or Kentucky, accused tne
President of taking the platform of the
Democratic party "that bears tbe
bloodv atain of Bryau faithful feet,"
and holding it up to the people of the
country.
He cared not how . much it was
said the Democrats were following the
President. Be knew that the soldiers
of the United States followed the
President gallantly at San Juan hill,
"But," he added, "no more, sir, than
the Democracy will follow him
when he charges the Harrimsns, the
Vanderbilts, tbe Cassatts and tbe Hills
in this country of wealth."
The Democrats applauded Mr. Hef
lin, of Alabama, when he said that
William Jennlngs'Bryan, the Daniel
of Democrscy, hss advocated the
present legislation before tbe people
of the country."
In a charaoieristie speech Mr.GsInes,
of Tennessee, who was the sole Demo
crat who voted with the Republicans
on the adoption of tbe rule, said he did
so because be found tbem right on the
question, feven though they gritted
their teeth after having been "egged
on" bv tbe President who had applied
I the est o' nine tails to their backs.
A number of other representatives
i spose on tbe bill.
The House adjourned until tomor

Halifax, N. 8., Feb. 8. After bat
tling for twelve hours In an open
boat with the temperature two degrees
below ssro and a mighty gale lashing
the sea, Oapt. Gorst, three passengers
and ten of tbe crow of tbe ill-fated
Furness liner Damara have reached
Pleasant Point In safety. The news
of their safe arrival was received here
late to-day In a telepbone message
from Muiqaodobolt harbor, 13 miles
from the point of landing.
The news wss brought to Mutquo
doapit after.' a bard day's travel
through almost Impassable snow
drifted roads by one of the crew, who
li.e&fnihe first boat that left tha
wreck yesterday. He telephoned the
agents here that Capt. Gorst and the
others in the second lifeboat, which
had been reported mUslng, reached
Pleasant Point just before dark last
evening. The seaman reported that
all In the captain's lifeboat were
badly frost-bitten and exhausted, some
of tbem being so benumbed by cold
tbat they had to be lifted outoftbelr
seats.
The landing was effected with the
greatest difficulty and all in the boat
were thoroughly drenched by the big
breakers. Every person was encased
with thick Ice from head to foot. Near

but it is not known whether or not any
of them will succumb. It will be sev
eral days before tbe suvivors esn be
brought to this city.
Mrs. rrowse, tne woman passenger
who was In the boat, bore up under
tbe trying ordeal wonderfully well
and endured great hardship with forti
tude. Sbe encouraged the men when
they were almost overcome by tbe
cold and wearied with constant work
at the oars. When near the land, the
rowers were so fatigued that they
couia not force tne uoat through tbe
surf, so tbe men on shore waded out
and dragged the boat In.
