HOUSE TAKES IT UP
Alleged Philippine Atrocities
Are Discussed.
VAND1YER MAKES THE CHARGES
Republican Member Vigorously De
fend the American Soldiers
General Debate on the
Xaval JBllL
x.
The House yesterday was plungd Into
a debate on Philippine affairs. Thus
far, the subject of alleged atrocities In
the Islands has xmgaced the attention
of the Senate alone and only occasion
ally echoes have been heard In the
House. But yesterday the reports of
cruelty' and outrage were rehearsed Jn
the House with vehemence and bitter
ness. The naval bill-was the order of
the day, but it received only scant at
tention after the 'allegations of Philip
pine outrages were presented. A speech
by Vandlver (Dem. Mo.) reciting in
stances of alleged outrages brought on
the discussion. Personalities and recrim
inations were freely .passed about Van
dlver was supported in bis criticisms by
"Wheeler fDera. Ky.), while vehement
defenses of the American soldiers were
made by Hepburn (Rep. la.). Grow
(Rep. Pa.), Hill (Rep.. Conn.), IV. A.
Smith (Rep. Mich.) and Lessler (Rep.
N. Y.). General debate on the naval
bill closed at 4 o'clock and when the
House adjourned the measure was be
ing read for amendment.

WASHINGTON, May 15. The Senate
amendments to th$ ag.t.mltural appropria
tion bill were disagreed to by the House
today, and the bill was sent to conference.
The bill opening Jto homestead entry the
extensive TJte tract. In Colorado, embrac
ing about 9,000,000 acres, was passed.
As a result of several cases of emerg
ency illness which have occurred In the
House, a resolution was adopted direct
ing the Sergeant-at-Arms to provide an
emergency equipment of medicines and
Instruments.
The naval appropriation bill was then
taken up and an agreement' made extend
ing thfe general debate until 4 P. il. to
day. Grosvenor (Rep. O.) said he thought the
time had come for a careful investiga
tion of the question of building warships
In Government yards, .in order that the
exact facts might be determined. He did
not go as far as some of the advocates of
Government construction in -asking that
all the new ships be built in Government
yards, as that would 'afford no basis for
comparison. In lieu of this he proposed
that one battle-ship, one armored cruiser
and one gunboat be built In a Government
navy.yard, and one of each class In a
private yard, thus giving a comprehensive
test of Government and private, construc
tion under substantially similar conditions.
Jones (Rep. Wash.) spoke of the lack of
general information on the maritime and
naval resources of the great Puget Sound
region, and gave many Interesting -details
concerning this section of the country,
Philippine Barbarities.
Vandlver (Dem. Mo.) sent to the desk
. and had read a statement appearing in
the Irish World, signed by Corporal
O'Brien, Company M, Twenty-sixth Vol
unteers, giving alleged details of atrocities
In the Philippines, the killing of native
women and babes under circumstances of
unusual cruelty. Including the alleged use
of dum-dum bullets. Vandlver read a let
ter from Patrick Ford, editor of the Irish
World, saying he had talked with Cor
poral O'Brien, who reaffirmed the charges
and was ready to make affidavit to them,
to be forwarded to Washington. The
charges were too horrible for belief, Van
dlver said. If they were not substantially
borne out by official reports of outrages
by our forces against the natives. -
When Vandlver questioned If anyone In
behalf of the administration was ready to
rise and defend the atrocities by Ameri
can soldiers on natives, W, A. Smith (Rep.
Mich.), reported with an Inquiry whether
anj'one on the other side of the chamber
was ready to rise and defend the atroci
ties of natives on American soldiers.
An exciting passage followed between
Smith and Vandlver. The latter asserted
that atrocities neither on one side nor
the other were defensible. "I have evi
dence piled mountain high," declared
Vanfllver, "of cruelty, extortion, torture,
murder, arson, rape, and every other
known crime on the calendar."
"That Is false," explained Smith, "and
I hurl back the charge at the gentleman
and call upon him to produce the proofs
if he can."
"The proofs are ample, and will be pre
sented," said Vandlver.
"The gentleman ought to be ashamed of
himself," interrupted Smith, "to assail
the American Army, 7000 miles from
fcome."
Vandlver responded that his respect for
the dictates of humanity were greater
than that for soldiers guilty of such
cruelty. He proceeded to Tead portions of
the testimony before the Philippine com
rnlttee of the Senate. When he referred
to General Funston, Landls Rep. Ind.)
interjected the sarcastic Inquiry: "Funs
tonthat is the gentleman who captured
your old. friend, Emlllo Agulnaldo?"
"Yes," answered Vandlver, "and this
Agulnaldo seems to be a great bugbear
to the other side of the chamber."
"But all his eulogies come from that
(the Democratic) side of the chamber,"
answered Landls.
Soon after Vandlver became engaged In
a w'arm colloquy with Hamilton (Rep.
Mich.), who demanded to know how a
stable government was going to be main
tained without soldiers. There was con
siderable confusion, and the chair had
to Tap vigorously for order. Vandlver
continued to recite cases of alleged cruelty.
Mudd (Rep. Md.) gave notice that he
-would move an amendment to the bill pro
hibiting the use of any money carried in
the naval bill for the purchase of Ma
clay's history, the animadversions in It
against Admiral Schley being responsible,
in his opinion, for the court of inquiry.
If the history had been clear of partisan j
feeling, he said, and had the historian ac
cepted the high-minded thought pro
nounced by Schley that there was "glory
enough for all," the American Nation
wouid not now be the butt of criticism
among the navaj officers of the world.
Hills' Spirited, Rejoinder.
Hill (Rep. Conn.) made a spirited re
joinder to Vandlver's speech on cruelties
in the Philippines, severely arraigning the
Missouri member and the minority on the
ground that an ex parte case was- being
presented. In the course of his remarks
Hill said:
"I came Into the hall while the gentle
man from Missouri was portraying the
outrages that had been perpetrated by the
American soldiers upon the Filipinos, and
I regretted very much to hear It I had
hoped that there would be a monopoly of
that kfnd of talk elsewhere, and that we
should not have In the House of Repre
sentatives the maligning, and slandering
o the American Army while In the 'per
formance of Jts duty."
Hill detailed a visit he paid to General
Smith's headquarters in the Philippines,
andr added:
"Ji found the Department of
General
Jacob H. Smith In peace and quietness,
and yet while that condition existed, this
incident actually occurred: A company of
Tagals, -Filipinos. the Filipino army if
you choose to call It, descended on a vil
lage of peaceable Filipinos, who chose to
carry on their regular business pursuits
In peace and quietness, and destroyed
that village, murdering men, women and
children, and if tfce gentleman from Mis
souri (Vandlver) desires a specimen' of
barbarity, I want to tetl you what they
.didJoJoyaLElilplnos. and Americans. They
took mew out -and tied them to ant fttHs,
six or eight or 10 feet high, and six feet
la-diametec filled with ants that are -absolutely
ravenous and eat up everything
they come In contact with. They tied
these men to ant hills and allowed them
to "be? eaten to death by ants. They burled
them in the ground up to their necks and
allowed them to be picked to death by "the
birds and eaten by the ants. They took
the loyal Filipinos and loyal Americans
and cut them open In the abdomen, tak
ing out a portion of the bowels and nail
ing it to a tree and driving them around
the tree with bolos while they disem
boweled themselves, and yet you gentle
men stand here and" condemn Americans
soldiers for standing by the men who
are loyal to the American flag and who are
suffering outrages os these"
Vandlver For the very same Wnd of
barbarity which you are now charging
agalnct the Filipinos.
Hill Talk about water cures! Fight
your political battles decently. Do not
attempt to do it by slandering American
soldiers In the performance of thelrduty
The Philippine discussion became gen
eral. Hepburri (Rep. Ta. referred to Van
dlver's service In the Confederacy, and
declared that after 25 years Vandlver
could not forget the old days and the old
methods. "The Army ho attacks Is our
Army; these boys are ou;r boys," Bald
Hepburn. "They have been reared In
American homes and he should not In the
House Join the llbelers and slanderers in
traducing our American soldiers." The
opposition, he said, bad seized on every
exaggerated story In order to attack the
American soldiers.
Williams (Dem. Miss.) asked If Hepburn
defended the order to make Samar "a
howling- wilderness."
"I believe that Is a lie," responded Hep
burn. "I believe no American officer ever
made such an order; I believe It to be a
slander, pure and simple."
' Wheeler (Dem. Ky.) made a short and
caustic rejoinder to Hepburn. While agree
ing with the Iowa member that the Phil
ippine question should not be turned to
party advantage, he said he wanted "to
know why it was that men must close
their mouths against cruelty and bar
barity. Grow (Rep. Pa.) recalled the horrors of
warfare seen at Gettysburg, Atlanta and
on other bloody fields. He maintained
that such conditions were necessarily inci
dent to warfare.
After the Philippine debate had contin
ued two hours, Meyer (Dem. La.) brought
the discussion back to the naval bin. At
i o'clock the general debate closed, and
the bill was read for amendment. A veto
message was received from the President
on the bill relieving Harry C. Mix from
obligation on an official bond.
At 5 o'clock the House adjourned.
XOT AN AMERICAN INVENTION.
Water Care Testimony Before Senate
Philippine Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 15. Captain Leo
Hall, formerly of the Twenty-third In
fantry, was the witness before the Senate
Philippine committee today. He was In
commmd of a company of Macabebe sol
diers. He said these were deadly enemies
of the Tagals. He had heard of Instances
of the water cure, but saw none.
Senator Deitrlch called attention to a
picture in Bryan's Commoner, showing
the Macabebe as a naked negro, with
Agulnaldo standing behind him. Captain
Hall Bald the Macabebe was a Malay, not
a negro, and thit when he was a soldier
he was clothed.
The witness said that one Macabebe
Sergeant whom, he had sent out in search
of guns had told him that he procured
them by the use of the cure. His method
was to use a buffalo horn as a funnel
through which to administer the water.
When this Incident was reported to Colo
nel Wilder, in charge of the scouts, the
Colonel had said that He did pot want to
bear any more about It. As for himself,
he gave no orders toease the water-cure
practice. The witness was quite sure that
this was not an American Invention in
securing confessions. The witness told of
a cbnversatlon he had had with General
Iawton, in which the General had said
that the natives should be treated consid
erately, because "by and by they would
be our people." He himself had done no
more than compel prisoners to beat rice.
Prisoners generally were paroled after
dressing the wounds of the injured and
caring for the sick. The native prisoners
were treated much as our ownlsoldlers
are. "We paid for everything we got,"
he said.
Captain Hall said he ind known of
cases of cruelty on the part of Filipinos
towards American prisoners, but that this
practice had been largely discontinued by
the natives toward the latter part of his
stay In the Philippines.
Speaking of the relative mortality in the
American and Philippine forces in battle,
he said that generally about three natives
to one American were killed. "The Fili
pino is a better shot at a distance of a
mile and a half," he said, "than at 0
stepe."
Replying to questions by Senator Du
bois, Captain Hall said that he consid
ered there was no Immediate chance for
an independent government, "not until
they learn whit government Is." He
proceeded, however, to say that there Is
much good In the native Filipino and
that In time they would come to be good
people.
Cnban SuroV Investigation.
WASHINGTON. May 15. Heywood S.
Deavitt, of Nebraska, concluded his testi
mony beforo the Senate Cuban relations
committee today. He s&Id If the sugar
trust did not receive all the benefits of

ent of the concession to the planters. He

ASSAILED BY M'LAURIN
MISSISSIPPI SENATOR OJTTHE FHIIi
IPPINE POLICY.
Declares Republicans Are Making
Political Capital for His Party
Fortifications Bill Passed.
WASHINGTON, May 15. An extended
speech by McLaurin of 'Mississippi, In op
position to- the pending Philippine Gov
ernment bill, was a feature of- today's
session of the Senate. The Mississippi
Senator vigorously assailed, the Adminis
tration's Jollcy in the Philippines. He
deprecated the outrages perpetrated In the
Islands, whether they were committed by
the Filipinos Or by the Americans. They
were, In his judgment, the natural growth
of the Government's policy, for which, he
maintained, the Republican party was re
sponsible. He urged the abandonment
qf the policy In the Interest of humanity
and justice. He declared that the minor
ity was not discussing the pending meas
ure to obtain political capital, as all the
political material which the Democrats
desired had been made for them by the
Republicans in this Congress. The bill
providing for the erection "of a union
railway station in Washington and the
.fortifications appropriation bill were, i
passed; I
The Proceeding.
At the conclusion of routine business
the bill providing for a union railway
station in Washington was. laid before the
Senate. As no debate was In order, the
pending question was the motion of Clark
to recommit the bill to the committee for
further consideration. The motion was
rejected, 23 to 43. Seveeral propositions to
amend the bill were defeated. Hans
brough's proposition for the Government
to build the station received only four
votes. The bj.ll then was passed, 45 to 24.
On motion of Proctor, the Senate agreed
to a conference on the agricultural ap
propriation bill.
The conference report on the omnibus
claims bill was presented by Warren, the
the conferees being unable to agree on the
Selfrfdge board claims.
Warren replied to some remarks made
by Proctor yesterday, concerning the
Bufflngton-Crozler gun carriages. He
said there Tiad been an Intimation that
the fact that this carriage had been pat
ented abroad would have an influence
upon the department because General
Crosier, the present head of the Ordnance
Department. Is the patentee, and thus
cause the acceptance of an Inferior car
riage. Warren did not, however, believe
that this could be the case. In view of
the fact that the United States Govern
ment holds all the patents on that car
riage In this country. Warren pointed
out that the first four reports of the
boards which investigated the Crosier
disappearing carriage, were unanimously
In favor of the carriage. He urged that
the weight of evidence ought to he ac
cepted In the discussion of this question.
The majority undoubtedly was In favor
of the use of the carriage particularly
In medium and low sights. He admitted
that the weight of evidence was against
the use of the carriage on high sights.
The fortifications appropriation bill then l
was laid before the Senate, the pending
question being he amendment offered
yesterday by Proctor providing that no
money shall be expended for disappear
ing gun carriages until complete tests
shall have been made. The Proctor amend
ment was modified by Proctor and agreed
to after having been accepted by the
committee. The modification consisted In
making the acceptance of gun carriages
conditional upon the United States. The
bill was then passed.
Lodge then sought to have a date fixed
for a vote on the Philippine Govern
ment bill, or to have the discussion con
tinue without interruption.
Dubois, a minority member ot the Phil
ippine committee, said he did .not believe
there was any intention to obstruct the
bill and thought the debate was progress
ing as rapidly as practicable.
Hale expressed a similar opinion. He
thought there was no disposition unduly
to delay the passage of this bill. He
was satisfied a vote would be reported
some time next week.
Cockrell said there was no purpose on
the Oemocratlc side to delay action. A
full and fair debate was desired. "No
body." he said, "has any desire to de
lay the bill."
Lodge expressed himself as satisfied
with the explanations of the situation.
McLaurin addressed the Senate in op
position to the bill. He then discussed
some of the criticisms niado of the mi
nority Senators because of their attack
en the Army, and because of "their
slanders on tho Army." He pointed out
that the President and Secretary of Wax
have issued orders to prevent the prac
tice of cruelty and torture by the Ameri
can Army In the Philippines. In eo do
ing he thought they had been quite as
guilty of slandering the Array as had
the minority Senators n their efforts to
get at the facts In the Philippines,
In the Course of his discussion, McLaur
in was interrupted by Beverldgo, who In
quired: "Do yoU disavow that you are
championing the cause of the Filipino In-,
eurgents? Are you with them, or are you
not?"
The Mississippi Senator replied that he
could best answer the question by quot
ing from his speech of April 22, on the
PhillBDlne tariff bill. Tvhen he said: "As
1 long a the 1 alight between tha Unit
States and the Filipinos, my loyalty Is
to the United States and my sympathies
are with the Americans, regardless of the
causes which produced the strife."
Mctriuirin declared that whatever out
rages' had been coramjtted by the Filipi
nos, or by the Americans, the policy ot
the Republican party and Its Imperialis
tic tendencies were responsible for those
outrages and cruelties and infamies.
McLaurin questioned the sovereignty of
the United States over the Philippines on
novel grounds. He said the law provided
ithat a person could not purchase a law
suit. He held, therefore, that In all rea
son, justice and conscience we could not
acquire, either by purchase or by treaty,
a territory whose inhabitants were in
revolution and successful revolution
against their then recognized sovereignty.
"In purchasing the Philippines," he de
clared, "we purchased only the right of
criminal aggression."
Spooner Interrupted to contend that the
United States had acquired a perfect title
to the Philippines by the Paris treaty.
"Did we have that perfect tltlo on
February 4, ISO, when our trouble began
with the Filipinos?1' inquired McLaurin.
"We had the right," responded Spooner.
"to whip any troops that attacked our I
forces anywhere under God's heaven." He
said, however, that the United States title
to the Philippines was not perfect at
that time.
Among the things which McLaurin de
clared the Republican party would have
to answer for at the Congressional elec
flnns nest Pnll wm-p the voraeltv of tha '

Haytl, started today for Cape Haytlen
on. the steamer Mincel, with the object
of endeavoring to arrive at an agreement
with the leaders of the revolutionary
forces in the northern part of Haytl and
prevent a civil war. It is generally be
lieved here that the delegation will meet
with success, as It is known that lack of
finds Is preventing the northern forces
from marching on Port au Prince.

yesterday with the cx-Presldent. Gen-
ral Sam, on board the Ollnde Rod
rlguer, which was detained here by the
Frenoh Minister, M. Dupres. General
Sam said he had resigned his office with
the conviction thit he had done every
thing possible for the prosperity of Haytl,
adding that what affected him the most
was the attitude of the Presidential
Guard, which remained loyal to him up to
the last moment.
According to General Sam. the popula
tion of Port au Prince Instead of be
ing hostile to the ex-President, was In
sympathy with him, as shown by the be
havior of the people as he left the place
and passed through the city on his way
to the Ollnde Rodriguez, crlej of "Vive
Sam" being raised. General Sam further
asserted that he was leaving Haytl fully
satisfied that he had served his coun
try, with the greatest loyalty and patri
otism. It has been asserted In the newspapers
here that General Bam. in the last six
years, made $2,500,000, but the General,
in a -published interview, protested against
this assertion, classing it as i calumny.
The latest news received here from the
north of Haytl is to the effect that Gen

of the National Bank, M. de La Myre, to
adymce him $10,000 to met his expenses,
met with a refusal. The belief here,

KIDflAPING OF SWINDLERS
GREENE AND GAYNOR SPIRITED
AWAY FROM QUEBEC.
Clever Trick, by American Detective
Attempt at Pursuit Men May
Be Extradited.
QUEBEC, May 15. John F. Gaynor and
W. D, Greene, who forfeited their bail
at Savannah. Ga., early In March, and
fled to Canada, were placed under arrest
by officers connected with the United
Statcsecret Service, and Chief Carter,
ot the Montreal detective force today.
The arrests were made on warrants issued
In Montreal, Chief Wllkie's men assisting
the Canadian officers to make the arrests.
The men were hurried on board a swift
Mttlc tug. which had been kept in waiting
at me wnan. iun imuuwa dllcr ""
ahd Gaynor were safely on board the boat
steamed out Into the river and started
toward Montreal.
The officers moved so quickly that
neither of the prisoners was given an op
portunity to consult counsel. When no
tified of her husband's arrest. Mrs Gay
nor at once consulted Mr. Tachcreau, he
husband' attorney. A tug- was chatercd
and an attempt was made to overtake the
boat en which Gaynor and Greene were
being carried away. After a short chase
those on the pursuing tug, seeing that It
would be impossible to overtake the detec
tives' boat, the Spray, one of the swiftest
boats on the St. Lawrence, the pursuit
was abandoned. On returning to the city
It was decided to charter a special train
and attempt to head off the Spray at some
point between this city and Montreal.
When the two Americans first arrived
In Quebec, they were followed by two
men, also from the United States, who
registered at the Chateau Frontenac. Their
movements led the hotel employes to be
lieve that they were detectives sent hero
to watch Greene and Gaynor. It now de
velops that one of these men is Detective
Burke, of Florida,
This morning Mr. McAllister, a promi
nent lawyer of Montreal, who, It Is ru
mored, Is engaged by the prosecution, ar
rived heie by boat from Montreal. On
the same boat with him were sir detec
tives, including Chief Carpenter, of Mon
treal. They were met at the wharf on
their arrlvaj by Detective Burke. At 10:30
A. M. a well-dressed man engaged a cab
man by the hour, and Instructed him to
wait near the postafflce. Soon afterward

walked toward the Chateau Frontenac,
which Is near by. In the meantime Mr.
Greene had entered the postoffice, as was
his dally custom, and came out of the
main door. Two strangers, who had been
waiting In a store near by, crossed the
street, and one of them, placing his hand
on Greene's shoulder, pulled a document
from his p'ecket, and asked him to eqter
the flr3t cab.
Greene was heard to say: "Walt a min
ute, until X see a friend," but this was
denied him, and the three detectives and
Greene entered the cab and were driven
to the wharf.
While the arrest of Greene was being
accomplished, Burke and the other de
tectives went to the Chateau Frontenac.
Colonel Gaynor was" standing at the clerk's
desk as they entered. Three detectives
walked up to Gaynor, one taking hold
of his right arm and the other his left,
while Burke produced a legal paper. Colo
nel Gaynor asked permission to get his
overcoat, but he was not permitted to do
so, and the four hurried out to the cab
and started for the wharf at a rapid pace.
These proceedings occupied about 20
mlnutes.-The hotel people notified Colo
nel Gaynor's counsel of what had oc
curred. The Attorney-General's Depart
ment and Judge Chaveau were notified and
they in turn asked the police to Investi
gate the matter. Half an hour after tho
departure of the Spray, another tug was
engaged by Mrs. Gaynor. She went on
board with Detective Walsh. The pursuit
of the Spray was given up at Cape Rouge,
eight miles from the city. The Spray
was then almost out of sight down the
nver. Upon the return of Mrs. Gaynor to
the city, the lawyers In the case had a
short consultation with her, and immedi
ately two applications for habeas corpus,
ordering the return of Gaynor and Greene
to thl3 city, were prepared and two orders
were signed to that effect by Judge An
drews in the Superior Court. In the
meantime four members of the provincial
police left by the 1:15 Canadian Pacific
Railway train for Three Rivers, with or
ders to secure a tug there and try to
intercept the Spray. The latter town is
90 miles from Quebec, and just half way
between .here and Montreal. The petitions
were sworn to by Mrs. Gaynor, who al
leges that her husband and Greene were
taken away against their consent, and
without giving them time to see their
counsel or take legal measures to prevent

Is probably due to a misunderstanding of
the situation, owing to tho quick arrest ,
there, the 'provincial poHr:e at Quebec
evidently thinking that Gaynor and
Greene were kidnaped by American of
ficers. Mr. McMaster. . counsel for the
United States Government, who planned
and directed the arroat, returned from
Quebec this afternoon. "The arrest was
made In a legal way," he said to the
Associated Press correspondent. "Gay
nor and Greene are wanted here to an
swer to a charge laid beforo an extradi
tion commissioner. The people In Que
bec, who are ralaln? so much fuss, must
misunderstand the whole thing. There
has been no kidnaping."
The Spray passed Sorel at 11:45 P. M.
She is due here about 3:30 A. M.
Marion Erwin. District Attorney for
th Southern District of Georgia, swore
out the warrants before Judse Desnoy,
calling for the arrest of Gaynor and
Greene. The extradition of wealthy
Americans In Quebec has. In the past,
been attended with a great deal of diffi
culty, and so Erwln laid his Information
In the Montrcat courts. The warrant was
then entrusted to Chief Carpenter, of the
local detective bureau, who, with some of
his assistants, wont to Quebec and ar
retted them, placed them on board of a
tug and started for this city.
A special to the Gazette from Three
Rivers says: "Tho tug Spray, with Chief
Carpenter, his aids and Colonel Gaynor
and Captain Greene, prisoners, passed
Three Rivers at 7:15 o'clock this evenlnc
under full head of steam. Two Quebec
policemen and two detectives, who sought
with the ferryboat Glacial to Intercept
the Spray, faled utterly."
WELL-LAID PLAN.
Reason for Getting: the Men Atvny
From Q,uelec.
WASHINGTON. May 15. The arrest of
Messrs. Gaynor and Greene wee the re
sult of a carefully prepared and well-matured
plan devised by the Government
officials, acting under instructions from
the Department of Justice of the United
States. Its inception dates back to the
time Gaynor and Greene left the United
States and took up their residence In Que
bec. lnc officials here then began con
sideration of the best means to have them
extradited, and brought beck to Savan
nah. Ga., for trial. The extradition treaty
between Great Britain and the United
States was carefully studied, and the
conclusion reached that there existed
grounds for the extradition of the men.
Mr. Erwin, who has figured prominently
in the case at Savannah, was assigned the
duty of proceeding to Canada and assist
ing the Government in the task of bringr
ing the two fugitives back to the United
States. The fugitives satisfied themselves,
after a thorough Investigation, that they
were reasonably secure from extradition
while In Quebec, because of local con
ditions existing there. Mr. Erwin feared
that if the men were arrested in Quebec
resort would be had Immediately t ha
beas corpus proceedings, and they would
be released. For this reason, and In ac
cord with Mr. Erwin's views in the mat
ter, the determination was reached to
have the warrants sworn out In Montreal
and served on Gaynor and Greene In Que
bec, thus bringing the question of holding
them for extradition before the Montreal
authorities.
Just by whom the warrants were eerved
is not known here, but it is supposed this
was done either by a Canadian officer or
by the United States Secret Service of
ficers, deputized for that purpose. The
arrangements made by Mr. Erwin contem
plated the chartering of a boat to take
Gaynor and Greene from Quebec to Mon
treal, after they had been arrested in the
former place.
A dispatch came to the Department of
Justice late this afternoon which reported
that the scheme for securing the men on
board the boat had been successfully car
ried out. The confident belief of the of
ficials here Is that this Government will
be ablo to secure the extradition of the
two men, in which case they will be taken
to Savannah for trial. A careful perusal
of the extradition treaty, they say, dem
onstrates that Its provisions are broad
enough to cover the offenses charged
against them In the indictment.
MAIN THING IS SITE.
(Continued from First Page.)
popular, rather than special and artistic,
things that count in enterprises of this
kind. We found a series of hlgh-clas3
musical entertainment, given at great
cost, a practical failure. There were, ot
course, a limited number of musical en
thusiasts who 'ah'd' and 'oh'd' and sighed
and dreamed over the fine harmonies we
gave them, but the empty chairs, and they
mostly filled the concert hall, retained
their customary I may say wooden In
difference to It all. It was when the band
played the "Star Spangled Banner that the
people shouted and flung their hats In the
air; and when they struck up the 'Geor
gia Camp Meeting there were always
plenty of smiles. Of all our special at
tractionsand we had many such the
Marine Band was the biggest hit, but
Its cost something like $300 per day was
too much. You will need two bands In
constant service one to -meet distin
guished visitors and do the general rough
work, and another and better one for
more formal duty, when something really
striking In the way of music is desired.
Don't stint on popular music, but don't
waste money In catering to the severely
artistic few."
In a small fair, such as ours must be,
Mr. Rosewater thinks It hardly to be ex
pected that the states, generally speaking,
will do much. They have been worked to
a finish on the state building- scheme, and
the end has about came to that sort of
enterprise. His suggestion Is that we
make one large state building, with a
central audience hall for use on occasions
of ceremony, with suitable apartments
for the states which may be willing to
use them. "In this form," he said, "your
Invitation will come graciously, and you
will be certain to get a much more gen
eral representation than If yqu ask the
Jast before retiring, if your liver is

was one of our mistakes that we did not
do thfs. Under the old plan, ycu may get
Washington and California, and possibly
Idaho. to put up buildings, and that's
about all; but under a plan by which
you offer space In a general state build
ing, you are likely to get a very general
response."
In conclusion, Mr. Roscwater said: "Af
ter all. In a fair, as In other things. It '3
the genuine and the popu ar that count.
A Midway Plalsanco, will not makt- a
successful fair. You want this to bo a
strong feature, but It Is the exhibits
which make the backbone of an cnterprisj

And, lot me go back to tho bcpirnlng t
