Y. , boasts of . a man who is probably the oldest editor in the world, and a real editor at that, for he, is at hit desk every morning, dictating the policy of the Yonkers Stat esman. John W. Oliver is only fifteen years younger than Hiram Cronk was when he died, and he ' bids fair In Uv mm Irtn.T tit tr.tatwn of the war of 1812- lie was married for ( the third time when he was eighty-four. Every day when the weather is fine be walks from his home Rose Cottage, on Warburton avenue, to the Statesman office and remains there until noon. Ilia every faculty is good. Some one asked one of the men on the Statesman staff the other day whether Mr. Oliver's mem ory was not failing. "You wouldn't think so if you worked here," was the answer. Mr. Oliver's ninetieth birth day, celebrated recently, was the occasion of a reception arranged by his friends. They ; present ed to him silver service and four bouquets, each containing ninety flowers. Editor Oliver has been in Youkers for forty years . lie was born at Baltimore on April 30,1815. guilt, but certain Canadian law yers, employed to defend them appear to have such strong in fluence with some of the judges before whom their rase came up that the ends of justice have from time to time been blocked The procedure at certain stag es was not such aa the people of the United States have been taught to look for in, Canadian courts, where the bench is sup posed to be fir above any suspi cion of corruption or undue in fluence of any kind. The pre sent decision is a triumph for justice against the moat extra ordinary attempt ever made to use Canadian soil as a refuge for American lawbreakers. ; r It is learned on good authority that the special grand jury call ed to meet at Boise on July 5 is to have presented to it evidence of huge land frauds in Idaho collected by special agents of the of the interior department and the department of justice dur ing the past five or six months. It can also be said that 'indict ments are confidently expected by. government officials here against several persons, mora or less prominent, but the names of the persons are carefully with held from . publication. The reason for calling the , grand jury in special session is that offenses were committed nearly three years ago and action is taken at once, the next three or ' four the prosecution will be by the sralue of limitation. V j The department of justice has requested Circuit ' Judge Mor rill, presiding circuit judge for Idaho to withdraw his designa tion of United States District Judge Beatty to hold; court , iq San Francisco, in the absence of Jude DeHaven in Portland, in order that Judge Boatty may hold court .at Boise ; while the grand jury is iu session. twmi unless, within - weeks, barred 3U JUSTICE MAY BE DONE It is probable that the deci sion of the supreme court of Canada, announced as having been delivered yesterday, ad verse to the appeal of Qaynor and Greene, the notorious fugi tives from justice, is the begin ning oi the final chapter in a series of legal proceedings ex tending over several years and not redouudiog to the credit of the much vaunted Canadian judiciary system. Qaynor and Greene were con tractors who were implicated with Captain Carter of the U S army in lrauds iuvolving mil lions of dollars on government work at Savaunab. and for which Captain Carter was given a term in prison, Gaynor and Greene fled to . Canada, ' where thep were arrested about six years ago. The usual routine machinery was put iu motion to secure their extradition, and it has seemed at times as if this would be successfully accom- X plished . .
