\$f' 'Alp Savannah, Oa., Jan. 6.—After six
years of continuous effort to have Ben
jamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor
brought to trial for alleged conspir
acy with Captain Oberltn M, Carter
of the United States army, to defraud
the government out of millions of dol
lars' In the harbor improvements at
Savannah, their case will be called
/'for trial here next week before Judge
Emory Speer, in the. United States
court for the southern district of Geor
gia. The trial bids fair to be a great
event.
It was ah Dec. 8, 1899 that Green
and Gaynor and the other, membero
of the Atlantic Construction company,
were indicted by, the United States
Grand Jury here for conspiracy to de
fraud the United States and causing
to be made and presented to Carter
for his approval and payment fraudu
lent accounts. These Indictments were
covered by the extradition charge in
the treaty as "participation in fraud
by an agent." On Noy. 18 last two ad
ditional indictments charging embez
zlement and receiving the money- that
was alleged to have been known to
have been embezzeled by Carter were
returned in the Federal court here
gainst the same parties.
The events leading up to these in-,
dictments were brought to light in
the trial of Captain Carter, which, laid
bare, frauds involving such enormous
,6ums that the public stood aghast. In
:1888 Captain Cartel', who was regarded
as one of the ablest engineers in the
employ of the government, was .sent
here to take charge of the improve
ments of rivers and harbors, the work
on which called for an expenditure
of more than three million dollars. He

so managed matters that the Atlantic
Construction Company, of which Green
and Gaynofc were the head, got control
of practically all the contracts. Carter
F. Gaynor and the younger Gaynors
were arrested on the indictment re
turned in Georgia and brought before
the United States Commissioner in
New York City oq Dec. 14, 1899. Then
followed along legal struggle against
extradition to Savannah. Step by step
the case was fought and when the
United States Supreme court finally
swept away all obstacles between them
and their trial. Green and Gaynor fled
to Canada, and their bail bonds were
forfeited. It is said, that the bondsmen
were afterwards reimbursed by the
fugitives.
The fight of the United States gov
ernent to secure the extradition of the
fugitives from Canada, was probably
the most noted case of itp kind in his
tory. For a long time it looked as
though Green and Gaynor would come
off victorious. Every effort to secure
extradition proved futile. The fugi
tives were located in Quebec and all
the court proceedings there resulted
In their favor. The prosecution 'then
took steps to have the fugitives trans
ferred to Montreal where decisions
more favorable to the United States
government were expected. Greene
and Gaynor were virtually kidnapped
and taken to Montreal, but here again
the prosecution was outwitted, for tha
authorities decided that the prisoners
must be returned to Quebec. Upon
the return to Quebec Mr.. Justice
Caron returned a judgment, holding
that there were no extradition crimes
charged in the complaint, and setting
the fugitives at liberty.
The prosecution had no remedy by

apppeal from this judgment discharg
ing the prisoners, to any Canadian
court. There was a possible remedy
by application for allowance of ap
peal to the British privy council. The
United States made this application
and an appeal was granted. At .the
final hearing the privy council re
versed Mr. Justice Caron's judgment.
On March' 4, 1905, the prisoners were
again brought before Commissioner
Lafontaine at Montreal and the hear
ing resumed. Appeals to the superior
court) at Montreal to the King's bench,
to the supreme court of Canada and
finally to the privy council in England
failed to 8top the proceedings. On
Sept 23, 1905 judgment was rendered
sustaining Commissioner Lafontaln's
judgment at all points, and the pris
oners were delivered on Oct. 7 to the
United States marshall for the south
ern district of Georgia. 'Two days
later they were committed to the
Chatham county jail here to await
trial.
They were accompanied by their
wives and families who have since re
mained here ... occupying luxurious
quarters at the DeSoto hotel. Both
Greene and Gaynor appear in the best
of health and spirits. The prisoners
•ccupy two rooms on the top floor
of the jail. The furnishing of each
room consists of a bed, two chairs and
a table.
The prisoners have retained the best
counsel that money is able to procure
and It Is evident that they intend to
continue the fight inch by inch. It
is estimated that they have already ex
pended more than one million dollars
to escape the trial which is now at
hand.
Now that we are started In on the
new year, and the peoples' thoughts
are turning toward what 1906 has in
store, The Evening Times reporter has
taken occasion to feel the public pulse
regarding outdoor amusement and en
tertainment and, naturally, baseball
heads the list. We find that the peo
ple are just as much interested in
baseball as ever In fact, it has come
to be almost apart of,our national life,
and rightly so, for it Is, per se, the
American game. That the cities com
prising the Northern league circuit
will have baseball during 1906 seems
to be a foregone conclusion. As to
the exact make-up of the circuit, that
is, as yet, an open question. It is
almost .a cinch that Croqkston will not
be a member of the 1906 circuit.
The League. Flnaiu-tM.
We find that the league, as an cir
ganization, is in the best shape than
at any' time during its existence.
Every obligation has been met and,
from a financial standpoint, it is oh
a sound foundation. The 1906 dues to
the National Association of Profession
al Baseball Leagues is fully paid up
for every franchise in the league. All
of the reservations have been proper
ly filed with the national secretary,
and every player who finished in the
Northern league is on the reserve list
of tiie national association.
AgalMt Tebeaulom.
We find out from President Kent
that there are "big things" doing in
the National association that the at
tempt of Tebeau, of the American as
sociation and Griffith of the Eastern
league to monopolize the National as
sociation and reorganize it against
the "minor" leagues has stirred up a
great rumpup,/and the' "minor" leagues
are on the warpath and will, un
doubtedly, properly "clean up" Mr.
Tebeau and the arch-conspirators. At
the meeting, held in December in New
York, the matter came up, and the
"minor" leagues had the "clasB A"

A SOUAKE DEAL
GRAND FORKS, NORTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6,1906.-EIGHT PAGES.
A Veteran Who Saw Many
Bloody Fights in the
U. S. Stervice.4
Washington, D. C., Jan. 6.—Rear Ad
miral Glass, commanding the Twelfth
and Thirteenth naval districts, will be
placed on the retired list tomorrow on
account of age. He is the first of four
teen rear admirals who will leave the
active list during the present year.
Admiral Glass is one of the best
known officers in the navy and few, if
any, have seen more active service.
Born in Kentucky in 1844 he was ap
pointed to the naval academy in 1860
from Illinois and graduated in time to
take part in some of the stirring naval
engagements that marked the close of
the civil war. As ensign he was pres
ent in all the general engagements in
Charleston harbor in 1863 and at the
close of the war had risen to the
grade of lieutenant. He reached the
rank of rear admiral Oct. 9, 1901.
Admiral Glass commanded the old
cruiser Charleston of the Asiatic
squadron In 1898 and convoyed the
first division of American troops to the
Philippines. He commanded at the
capture of the Ladrone islands June
20, 1898, and served as captain of the
port of Manila after its surrender in
August of the same year. He is re
garded as an authority on marine in
ternational law and has written sev
eral books on the subject.
Clothes are said to make the man.
His wkife's clothes often break him
too.

fellows voted to a stand-still. The
matter, however, did not come to a
head, and an adjournment was agreed
on to January 9, in Chicago. This
meeting will take place at the Audi
torium hotel .and the Northern league
will be represented. President Kent
will be unable to attend, but he has
requested some of the club members
to attend this meeting. It will mean
much to the "minor" leagues, of which
the Northern league is one. Un
doubtedly this meeting will result in
great advantage and.benefits to such
organizations as the Northern league,
and other leagues of this class "D."
Therefore, generally speaking, it is
safe to say that the outlook for base
ball in 1906 is bright, that is, so far
as organization and legislation can
make it.
The Local Sentiment.
As to local sentiment we fiud that
the fans—the people who have made
Grand Forks famous as the best base
ball town of its size in the world—are
just as much for baseball today as
they ever were. It is problematical,
however, as to just who will handle
the franchise at Grand Forks this
year. We understand that Mr.
Stanchfield does not care to guide the
destinies of the Grand Forks team
another season—although be is the
sole owner of the Grand Forks fran
chise at the present time. The peo
ple of Grand Forks are indebted to
Mr. Stanchfield. for one, of the best
and—without question—the cleanest
ball teanis chat ever represented this
city on the diamond, and it is to be
regretted if he cannot see his way
clear to take the team another season.
As a business proposition a ball team
is the best advertisement that any city
can have and the work of Mr. Stanch
field did with the ball team iast year
certainly reflected great credit on the
city and his services should be ap
preciated.

ARMY
(A*1 SA A A S*J
Washington, D. C., Jaw. 6.—Ever
since the anti-canteen law was enact
ed there has been a persistent effort
to repeal it. The effort has been re
newed with redoubled energy this ses
sion. The plan of attack has some
new features this year. The army
officers generally are opposed to the
law and many of them have been
quoted to show that the soldier being
deprived of. liquor within military lim
its persists in going outside of those
limits and filling himself up with the
vilest kind of stuff that this practice
results in prolonged debaucheries and
wholesale desertions, threatening the
overthrow of all discipline. The ad
mission of these things does not speak
very eloquently for the enforcement
of army regulation, nor does it prove
that a soldier who was allowed a few
drinks each day within military limits
would not, as a consequence of those
few drinks, all the more desire to go
outside of the limits for more. It is
what the lawyers would call„an argu
inentum absurduin. It isn't reason
able to say that it is easier to control
an enlisted man who is partly drunk
than it is to control him when he is
sober, for that is, what the argument
amounts to.
This year the campaign against the
prohibition statute has been opened
with a pathetic appeal to the senti
mental side of congressmen. This ap
peal is made through the medium of a
novel written by an army officer. Cop
ies have been sent to the members of
both houses. The heroine in the book
has a brother, or perhaps it is a lover,
in the service. He drinks. She
grieves. He isn't so bad inside as he
is outside military bounds, but being
deprived of the privilege of patroniz­
have to be moved from its present lo
cation and the' owners are prepared
to make changes that will be of great
advantage.
As announced in The Evening Times
yesterday, a meeting of the league at
Ouluth will, undoubtedly, be called the
latter part of this month, or at such
time as will suit the convenience of
the members of the board of control.
At this meeting there will be a com
plete new set of officers elected, and
the circuit for the coming season will
either be fixed or a committee ap
pointed to arange for same.
It is understood that three good
sized towns in the copper region
would like to come in. However, no
one at the present time is in position
to say positively just what cities will
be in the Northern league circuit next
season. .It is safe, however, to say
that the old guard wil be represented
—namely: Winnipeg, Grand Forks and
Fargo, in the Red river valley.
In talking with President Kent, re
garding the league's affairs, he ad
vises us that he has been so busy
since 'the close of the season that he
has hardly thought of baseball, but
that he is very much interested, and,
that while he will not be officially con
nected with the game next season, he
will give it every assistance within
his power. He is in favor of starting
the season earlier and closing not
later than the 15th of August. His
popularity and ability as the head
official of the league has won for him
a host of friends among the fans and
players.
With a good "circuit and a shorter
season, it would seem as though 1906,
which promises to be so prosperous
from a business standpoint, should be
also the most successful season of the
Northern league. With all of the coun
try tributary to Grand Forks organiz
ing amateur and semi-professional
teams and leagues. Grand Forks is
sure to reap the benefit incideut there
to, provided they have a representa
tive team in the Northern league.
The Alumni Arc Disgruntled.
The alumni of the State University
are registering a kick against the pro
posed change of colors of the institu
tion. They say if it is attempted that
there will be a row which will reach
the ears of the faculty and the powers
of the state. An organized effort will
be started to prevent it. They be
lieve foat the colors belong to the
alumni as well as the undergraduates.

ing an official bar he is forced to drink
unofficially. This takes him into the
adjacent doggeries. The girl goes
along, not for the purpose of drinking
with him, but to save him from him
selfj She fails and is herself drag
ged down into perdition. So two lives
are lost instead of one, and we are
left to wonder if the girl wasn't very
foolish to throw herself away trying
to reclaim an unreclaimable scalawag
when there are so many good young
men in the world.
Now it is easy to see how the novel
ist might have saved both the soldier
and the young lady had congress act
ed promptly and repealed the anti
canteen law, thus giving the poor fel
low a chance to drink himself to death
by degrees rather than to force him
to take the short cut to eternity. And
the girl, too, would have been permit
ted to drag out a longer existence in
self-sought misery. But congress
didn't act promptly—congress seldom
does things in that way. Incidentally
it may be said that there isn't the
slightest probability that the anti
canteen law will be repealed.
It has been announced that Miss
Phoebe Cousins is here to urge repeal.
Miss Cousins has been a prominent
worker along reform lines for many
years—so many, indeed, that she
doesn't care if we say half a century.
In this connection it is related that
another woman prominent as a writer
and lecturer came here a few years
ago to promote the sale of a certain
brand of California wine. Of course
she got a fee. Her wine banquets
were pretty well attended for a time
and she did effective work for her
employers, but it was done at a fear
ful sacrifice of personal prestige.
