SAYHOR ?NQ SHEENE ARRESTED IN CANADA. - Qnebec, May ?D^COI . John F. ^^Sayiior and Capt. B: D. Greene, - who l?|?&?rfeiied their bail at Savannah early; inflaren and fled to Canada,. were -placed nuder arrest by officers eohnect " ed with the United States secret ser? vice and Chief ' Carpenter of the Mon? treal detective force today.. The arrests were made ?n; warrants | issued in -Montreal, Chief Wilkie's * ?, '?? .men assisting the Canadian officers to make.the arrests. 3?he men were -hurried on board a swift little tug which had been kept inwaiting at the wharf. Ten .min? utes'after Greene and Gaynor were safely on board the boat and steamed out np the river and. started toward Montreal. The officers moved so quick? ly that neither of the prsioners was gi ven an opportunity to consult counsel. When notified of her husband's ar- ! rest Mrs. Gaynor afc once consulted :: ; Mr. Tachereau, her , husband's attor 5v ; . ?ny. N A tug was chartered and .an at : tempt was made to overtake the boat; on which Gaynor and Greene were be? ing carried away. After a short chase it was seen by? those on board the pursuing tug that" . it would be impossible to overtake the detective boat, the Spray, one of the swiftest tugs on; the St Lawrence, and the pursuit was abandoned. On returning to the city it was de v.. - ? eided to charter a special train and at >V' tempt to head off the Spray, at some point between this city and Montreal. The arrest of Greene ano* Gaynor ? and the manner in'which it was ac? complished caused considerable ex :>?? citement in the city "where both men have become well known. rn-. A LEGAL ABREST MADE IN A LEGAL WAY. Montreal, May 15.-The pursuit of the tug Spray by the Quebec author-. !?o> is probably due to a misunder " standing of the situation owing to the quick arrest there. The provincial police at Quebec evidently think Gay? nor and Greene were kidnapped by American officers. Donald MacMaster, counsel for the | United States government, who plan ned and directed the arrest, returned I from Quebec this evening. "A legal arrest was made in a legal way," he stated to the Associated Press correspondent. "Gaynor and Greeen are wanted here to answer to a charge laid before an extradition commissioner. The people in Quebec who are raising so much fuss must misunderstand the whole thing. There has been no kidnapping." The authorities here claim that there is not the slightest danger of a serious conflict between the detectives who have arrested Gaynor and Greene in Quebec and ,those trying to overtake them. Detective Carpenter has power to make arrests anywhere in the pro? vince of Quebec on a warrant issued within the province. PLANNED IN WASHINGTON. * Washington, May lo.-The kidnap? ping and the subsequent arrest of Gay? nor-and Greene at Quebec was the re? sult of a carefully laid plan of Chief Wilkie of the secret service. It was denied that the department had sent men to apprehend the fugitives, but it was later learned that Inspectors Bennett, Burke, Taylor and three oth? ers had been assigned to the case. The capture was planned to come off yes terday and the department had been looking ' Tor news of their arrest all day. . Even now the secret service" .officials will not. admit the receipt of any advices, but it is known that the whole arrangements were - perfectly carried out, even .to the issuance of ithe^wazraxits. by the judge, on the ap? plication of Chief of Detectives Car? penter of Montreal: The expectation here is that when arraigned before the. Montreal author? ities Messrs. Gaynor and. Greene will endeavor to secure their release by habeas corpus ; proceedings. Any ef? forts in that line will be vigorously resisted\by Mr. Erwin, who has em , ployed a well known firm of attorneys 1 of Montreal to assist him in whatever proceedings are had. The confident belief of the officials here is that this government will be abie to secure the extradition of the two men, in which case they will be taken to Savannah for triaL i A careful- perusal of the ex? tradition treaty, they say, demon? strates that its provisions are broad enough to cover the offenses charged against theni in the indictment. It is not- known here, just what the warrant for arrest charges. . The case is quite complicated but an earnest effort will beilade to compel the men to stand' trial in Georgia. Like a Drowsing Man.

BREESE ?ND GAYNOR REMANDED. Writ of Habeas Corpus Not Honored. . Montreal, May 16.-John F. Gray nor and B. D. Greene are guests at the Windsor hotel, each guarded by a local detective, with a force of Uni ted States-secret service augment? unofficially in reserve. They will not go back to Quebec, much , as they and their friends desire it and in spite, of the writ of habeas corpus granted yesterday by Judge Andrews, of Quebec, directing Chief Detective Carpenter to return his prisoners to that city. "When the Spray arrived in Montreal this morning the party, drove to the Windsor. At T o'clock they -again left the hotel, just as the pursuing' force from Quebec, which had come up from Sorel on the Quebec boat reached the hotel. . Chief Carpenter took his prisners to Judge Lafontaine's :residence and an impromptu court was convened in the judge's library. Detective Carpenter handed the Judge the warrants with the return marked upon the back as is usual The prisoners were asked if they were guilty or not guilty, and not replying, the judge's clerk accepted their failure to plead as a plea of not guilty. Judge lafontaine then said : ""Prisoners, I remand you for trial iwtil Monday, the 19th of this month, without bail." The prisoners bowed, and the judge informed Carpenter that he remanded the -prisoners to his custody. In the meantime High Constable Gale of Quebec with the writ of habeas corpus was searching diligent? ly for Mr. Carpenter. At 10 o'clock he found him in his office and served the writ. Mr. Carpenter was placed in a dilemma. He was in possession of a document calling on him to produce the bodies of Gaynor and Greene before Judge Andrews in Quebec today and he no longer had the? prison? ers in his possession,' having been re? lieved by Judge Lafontaine. He con? sulted his counsel and was informed that if he attempted to return the prisoners to Quebec he would be liable to arrest for- contempt of the local court, whose mandate he had received and executed. So an answer setting forth the facts in the matter was pre? pared ad set down to Quebec, and with that it is expeeteed the Quebec people will have to remain satisfied. The jurisdiction of an extradition commissioner, extends over the entire dominion and the arrests of Greene and Gaynor were made by an officer qualified to make arrests in any por? tion of the province; consequently fchera is no doubt that they will hold. This evenings Mrs. Gaynor arrived from Quebec She was accompanied by Hon. Jules Tessier, counsel for the prisoners, who had a consultation with, them at the Windsor. In addition, Hon. S. O. Tailjon and H. C. St. Pierre have also been retained, so that a formidable array of counsel will take part in what promises to be as spirited a legal fight as Mon? treal has witnessed since John C. Eno, the defaulting New York bank? er, successfully resisted extradition. Et would not be surprising if a fight between the Quebec and Mnotreal courts is made a prefix to the main battle of the lawyers. The Quebec force had the services of two tugboats and a special train in a vain effort to /head off thefSpray yes? terday, and the failure has made ali concerned exceedingly wrathy. "Gaynor and Greene had engaged the services of all the best lawyers in Quebec, and the change of venue leaves these gentlemen out in the cold. It was stated this afternoon that the provincial governor had instructed Judge Lafontain to obey the writ of habeas corpus, but the judge says that all he knows about the case is that he issued a warrant and that the men called for in that document were pro? duced before him. He had remanded the prisoners until Monday morning and expected that they would be then again produced before him. Legal opinion in Montreal is that habeas corpus proceedings cannot be instituted until Judge Lafontain has decided the case. Then if he commits them for extradition, proceedings of that nature will be in order. A few dozen large feather dusters at less than wholesale cost to close int. H. G. Osteen & Co.

WHAT IS HISTORY? President Roosevelt is reported as having said that never while he is Pres? ident of the . United States will Maclay's history be used at the Naval Academy as a text book. The President means by this to say that Maclay's history, so-called, is not a history, but a one-sided narrative, full of prejudice and* spite. Men- like Maclay are not fit to write history. A historian should be a man of broad viewland should be a truthful report? er. If he suppresses or extenuates or misstates or misleads he is not a histo? rian, but a partisan writer.

The trouble is due to: th? fiaaht^ Bale trust, which has made itself ^fel?? in Texas, particularly during the lastlW year. The trust got such a large shared||H of the cotton that the compress .cbm^'-v^; panies and cotton seed oil men began ^ 4 - to feel it. : : . - : Formerly, the cotton went to i 't?f??&?? gin, which separated the seed and. the ; :y>k| lint. The seed was sold to the oil mill& ^;?>j and the lint, which was; ^aled,-was^ps subsequently taken to the compress have the bales pressed so *? that thejr-; -? >? would occupy less room'and could :be-'-. ^ carried on vessels or railroads. :/i ^ ''^ When the trust took more, cotton the .jr : || gins got less, and so did the ^mprcss^|;^P es and the cottonseed oil mills.
