May Take Place of Formal Pro
ceedings for Extradition—Connael
Xot Pleaaed With Their Clients'
Conduct—Ed Gaynor Had Nothing
to Say and District Attorney Re-
fused to Diacaaa the Case.
After nearly a week of anxious
searching on the part of Secret Ser
vice agents of the government and
half the newspapers in the country, the
Associated Press announces that Ben
jamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor
have been discovered at the Chateau
Frontenkc, in Quebec. They were reg
istered under their proper names and
were seemingly making no effort what
ever to conceal their identity.
The Morning News printed on Mon
day a dispatch from Syracuse to the
effect that Col. Gaynor had passed
through that city en route to Canada.
At the time the report was not given
credence, but subsequent developments
have demonstrated Its correctness.
The news that Capt. Greene and Col.
Gaynor were in Quebec was received
in Savannah, from various sources,
yesterday morning. The sudden reap
pearance of the fugitives, after thir
apparent effort to escape, only added
to the atmosphere of mystery that has
surrounded their conduct during the
past week.
Col. Gaynor, according to dispatches
from New York, left New York Tues
day night, starting as though he in
tended to come to Savannah, in re
sponse to the mandate of the court.
He passed through Syracuse the next
morning, and was recognized there by
at least three persons, all of whom seem
to have told of seeing him with ex
treme reluctance. He met CaDt.
Greene at Buffalo and they continued
their journey to Canada. The exact
whereabouts of the two rnen between
Thursday and Sunday, yet remains
shrouded in doubt, but the indications
are that they spent some of the time
In Montreal. Saturday Mrs. Gaynor is
said to have received a telephone mes
sage from her husband, and left that
night to join him. She is now with
him at the Chateau Frontenac, the
leading hotel in Quebec.
When Ed. Gaynor was told that his
brother and Capt. Greene had been
located in Quebec, he expressed sur
prise, but had nothing to say about the
matter.
Treaty question Discussed.
There seems to be considerable doubt
among the court officials and lawyers
of the existence of any treaty of ex
tradition with Great Britain, by the
terms of which this government will
be able, as a matter of right, to se
cure the return of Greene and Gay
nor to stand trial here, now that they
have been located in Quebec.
The extradition treaty ‘ with Great
Britain was negotiated in 1889. It adds
a number of offenses to the list of those
for which accused persons may be ex
tradited from one country to the other,
and it is certainly a question of strong
doubt whether these include the of
repses with which Greene and Gaynor
are charged and for which they have
been indicted. The only section of the
treaty, said a well-known lawyer,
which by any possible construction can
be made to include a conspiracy to de
fraud the government and the presen
tation of false claims to carry this
conspiracy into effect, is as follows:
‘‘Embezzlement, larceny, receiving
any money, valuable security or other
property, knowing the same to have
been embezzled, stolen or fraudulently
obtained."
The District Attorney's Dnty.
District Attorney Erwin was asked if
the treaty covered the offenses alleged
against the defendants, but he refused
to discuss the question.
My duty as district attorney,” said
Mr. Erwin, "only requires me to pros
ecute criminals in the Southern district
of Georgia, and, except by special di
rection of the department, I have noth
ing to do with enforcing the process of
the courts in any other jurisdiction.
J his is a matter for the Attorney Gen
eral, and he will doubtless give it the
direction that to him seems proper."
Other lawyers who were asked their
opinion of the law said that it was to
be gravely doubted, to put the matter
in the light most favorable to the
rights of the government, if the United
States can demand the extradition of
Greene and Gaynor under the terms or
the treaty. Mr. Walter G. Charlton
and Mr. Fleming G. dußignon of coun
sel for the defendants, were both ot
this opinion.
"I don’t see anything in the treaty,"
said Mr. Charlton, after reading the
section referring to embezzlement and
similar crimes, "that would make these
accused defendants extraditable from
Canada. The offenses named in the
section have a technical meaning and
the Canadian courts would probably
not be inclined to extend that meaning
by implication In proceedings for extra
dition. The English people and courts
are jealous of surrendering to any
other nation one who has sought refuge
within their jurisdiction, unless the ex
tradition of this person is demanded by
the law." ~
llhj flake Request for Them.
"It may be,” Mr. dußignon inter
rupted Mr. Charlton to say. "that the
very absence of a treaty provision on
this subject would be pleasing to. the
government. The authorities may
think It likely they will be able to se
cure the attendance of the defendants
here more easily and quickly by a
formal request upon the Canadian gov
ernment, In the absence of a treaty
right to extradition, than if they were
compelled to pursue long, involved and
perhaps bitterly contested extradition
proceedings."
The indications point to the conclu
sion that this course, suggested as
possible by Mr. dußignon, is the very
one the government will follow, should
the defendants persist in their refusal
to appear In court here. It will be re
membered it was followed with suc

SENT TO REFORMATORY.
Henry Brace Will Be Given x Chance
- to Mend His Ways.
Henry Bruce, the 11-year-old negro
boy who stole $63 of the postal and
money order funds of the poetofflee
sub-station at the corner of Jones and
Whitaker streets, was yesterday sen
tenced by Judge Speer to serve three
vears in the reform school for negro
juveniles, located at Cheltenham, Md.
The story of the crimes the little
negro committed was told in the Morn
ing News at the time of his arrest, and
of the hearing given him before the
United States commissioner. He had
made svstematic attacks on the safe
in which the funds were kept, conduct
ing his depredations with a skill and
acuteness that would have befitted an
older head.
It was altogether evident that the
boy was in a fair way of becoming a
confirmed and hardened criminal un
less some steps were taken to effect
his regeneration, and it was with the
concurrence of his mother that a crim
inal information against him was
drawn and presented to the court. To
this the boy entered a plea of guilty.
He appeared in court yesterday with
his mother, who sobbed and cried as
the sentence was being imposed. Judge
Speer told the boy that at Cheltenham
he would be treated kindly, and taught
a trade, and that he would do well to
avail himself of the opportunities that
were afforded him of becoming a use
ful citizen.
Marshal Barnes stated it was not
convenient at this time to have the boy
sent to the reformatory, and bond for
his appearance was accepted.
SEVEN YEARS*HARD LABOR.
Seamore Brown’s Sentence for Bur
glarizing Rev. J. A. Smith'* Home.
Seamore Brown, found guilty in the
Superior Court yesterday of burglary,
was sentenced by Judge Barrow to
serve seven yeans in the penitenti
ary of the state. Brown broke and en
tered the residence of Rev. J. A. Smith,
pastor of Epworth Methodist Church,
was found by Mr. Smith in the par
sonage, made his escape from the
house, but was captured by the plucky
minister after a burd chase.
The entrance was effected on Jan.
20, the negro being discovered before
he had had time to effect his evident
purpose bo steal. He broke and ran
from the house, but Mr. Smith follow
ed on his bicycle and was at last suc
cessful in overtaking and arresting
him.
Brown claimed in his statement to
the jury that it was a case of mis
taken identity, declaring he had never
been in Mr. Smith's house in his life,
on the occasion in question or at any
other time, but 'he wag positively iden
tified by the minister and the jury
wasted little time in finding him guil
ty. The sentence of the court followed.
A motion for anew trial was filed
at once by Travis & Edwards, who
represented the defendant. The motion
is based on the statutory grounds that
the verdict of the jury is contrary to
the law and the evidence and without
evidence to support It. g
Rosa Ford, who pleaded guilty to an
indictment charging her with the, lar
ceny of $35 from the house of C. E.
Paul, was sent to the gang for three
months, in default of the payment of
a tine of $25 and the costs of the pros
ecution.

Mr. A. D. Harden Yesterday Ascer
tained the BauL’i Position—Order
of the Coart* Would Be Repaired
liy the Bank to .Instlfy It in Recog
nizing the Order of knt One of the
Trnstee* of the Remain*—Mr. Har
den and Col. Gardiner the Trus
tees—Hoped That There May Be an
Amicable Adjustment of Differ
ences—Extract From a I.etter From
Col. Gardiner, Requesting Mr.
Waller to Aseertain Wishes of De
scend ants.
The Southern Bank will not deliver
the remains of Gen. Nathanael Greene
and his son, George Washington
Greene, to anyone except upon the
Joint order of Mr. A. D. Harden of Sa
vannah and Col. Asa Bird Gardiner
of New York, unless directed by order
of the courts to do so.
This was ascertained yesterday
morning by Mr. A. D. Harden, who is
one of the trustees in whose name the
remains are deposited. The other
trustee is Col. Gardiner, who, if re
ports are correct, seems inclined to
contest the right of Savannah to be
come the place of final interment of
the relics. Mr. Harden called on the
bank officials, who told him that it
would not be possible for the delivery
of the remains to be made upon the
order of but one of the trustees, unless
so directed by the courts.
No question is felt that the Savan
nah Committee on Arrangements for
the Greene funeral, if it should come
to such a pass, would be able to win
the point in the courts. The wishes
of nearly all of the direct descendants
of Gen. Greene have been ascertained
to be for the final interment at Savan
nah, and it is held that the courts
would pronounce for the descendants.
Col. Gardiner has a reputation as a
fighter. To be beaten in one court does
not mean that he is whipped finally,
and should this case ever get into court,
it is thought that it would be counted
upon to remain there some time. It is
still hoped that there may be no such
outcome, but that the differences be
tween the Society of the Cincinnati
In Rhode Island, of which Col. Gardi
ner is the president, and the descend
ants, who wish the remains buried
here, may be adjusted.
Mr. Robert T. Waller, in reviewing
the letters he had received from Col.
Gardiner, has found one that gives him
complete authority to do that which,
done, provoked the criticism of Col.
Gardiner, who thought that his action
had been "precipitate” in ascertaining
the wishes of the descendants. The
following Is an extract from the letter,
which is dated Feb. 6. 1902:
"I am just in receipt of a letter,
dated Providence, the 3rd instant, from
the Hon. Charles Dean Kimball, Gov
ernor of Rhode Island, expressing the
opinion that they ‘ought to rest in
their native soil, and that Rhode Isl
and has a good claim for them,’
"In reply. I have requested him to
communicate with you on the subject.
The Rhode Island State Society of the
Cincinnati has no opinion to express,
but desires that the wishes of Gen.
Greene's descendants be collected and
request you to do so.”
Col. Gardiner urged Mr. Waller to
give the matter his immediate atten
tion. which he did. The result, the
expression of the descendants in Sa
vannah's favor, did not please Col.
Gardiner.

STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
Charles Cowart. Flagman, Injured
In Plant System Yards.
Charles Cowart, flagman on the
Plant System, was dangerously injur
ed in the Plant System yards at 10:15
o’clock, city time, last night. At an
early hour this morning he was being
operated on at the Savannah Hospital,
and it could not then be told whether
he would recover from his injuries.
Cowart was struck by passenger
train Mo. 22. from Jacksonville. It
is thought that he was crossing the
track, when struck by the train. The
accident occurred at a point in the
yards about opposite Huntingdon
street.
The engineer stopped the train as
quickly as possible after Cowart had
been struck. When brought to a
standstill half the train had passed the
spot where the man lay. Passengers
crowded from the train, but turned
away from the spectacle of Cowart’s
sufferings. Trainmen were left to look
after the injured man, and the train
entered the shed.
Cowart was taken to the Savannah
Hospital, after Dr. T. S. Clay. Plant
System surgeon, had been summoned.
It was found that his leg had been
broken and that he had sustained other
injuries.
DIED FROM*APOPLEXY.
Remains of John D. Hobinson Taken
to Pittsbnrg by Hl* Nephew.
The remains of Mr. John D. Robin
son, whose sudden death at the Park
View Sanitarium was mentioned in the
Morning News, were taken to Pitts
burg yesterday by his nephew, Mr. J.
W. Robinson. A certificate giving ap
oplexy as the cause of death, was given
by Dr. Graham.
Mr. Robinson lived at Allegheny
city, a suburb of Pittsburg, and his
funeral will take pliace there. He was
67 years of age and very wealthy. He
left his home in January and went to
St. Augustine for his health, coming
to Savannah on Feb. 21, on which date
he registered at the De Soto.
He was stricken on Saturday after
noon and taken to the sanitarium. He
rallied, but on Sunday afternoon took
a turn for the worse, and all that med
ical aid could do was of no avail. His
nephew was telegraphed for and did
not know of his uncle's death until he
reached this city. Mr. Robinson was
a cousin of Gen. William Robinson,
the first white child born west of the
Allegheny river. He was engaged in
no business, and was prominently con
nected in the East and West. His
large estate goes to three nephews and
a niece. Mr. Robinson spent several
months in Savannith last winter, and
was very well known.

Seven Reasons Why “Old 4-Father”
Hye Is the Beat Whiskey.
It is pure, old, .rich and mellow, sr.d
Is never bottled until it is 15 years old.
It stimulates and invigorates.
It is aged by time and, therefore, it
is nature’s pleasant tonic. It contains
no foreign sweetening matter and,
therefore, does not ferment or make
sour stomach.
It does not burn when you drink it,
thereby proving that it is chemically
pure.
It is aged by nature, viz., light, heat,
air and age.
It was drank years ago by our Fore
fathers, and they knew pure whiskey
was the best. H. Solomon * Son, sole

Details of the Plan I nder Which
Reorganization Will Be Effected,
tol. William Garrard, Chairman ot
the Reorganization Committee,
Report* Vpon the Mutter of Taxa
tion of Guards’ Property.
The Committee on Re-organization
of the Savannah Volunteer Guards has
requested the receiver o it the Guards’
property, Mr. John D. Carswell, to
make up and have ready his final re
port, which will be ready in a few
days. Tfye committee has also for
mulated the bond to be issued in re
organization and is having prepared
the deed of trust securing the same.
This is being done in conference with
the Creditors’ Committee. The bonds
will be printed, and then the final de
cree will be presented to the court.
It is the hope of the committee to con
clude all the preliminaries and get the
final decree within a few days.
It will be a matter erf congratulation
for all the many members and friend3
of the Savannah Volunteer Guards to
know that the efforts of the committee
to remove their property from the
hands of a receiver are soon to be
crowned with suocess. This relief
from the receivership will come at an
auspicious time, as it will but shortly
ante-date the one-hundredth anniver
sary of the organization of the histo
ric command.
The Committee on Re-organlzation
has worked long and hard upon the
details of the reclamation of the
Guards’ property from the jurisdic
tion of the courts. The committee is
comprised of Col. William Garrard,
chairman; Maj. W. W. Williamson,
Capt. W. W. Mackall, Capt. Henry C.
Cunningham, and Mr. George J.
Baldwin. The plan drawn up
by this committee provides
among other things, for the adjustment
of the bonded debt of the corps covered
by its issue of bonds of May 1, 1894,
the agreement relating thereto being
made with the bondholders' commit
tee, dated March 21, 1901.
Bonds have been deposited under this
agreement with the Oglethorpe Savings
and Trust Company, trustees, to an
amount sufficient to make the agree
ment effective, for all the purposes
named therein, and anew issue of
bonds, to-wit, an issue of $17,500, is con
templated as provided in the reorgan
ization agreement; and
Asa neeesary part of the reorgan
zation plan an agreement was made.
on Oct. 1, 1901, between the Guards
and the Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Company, providing for an extension
of time fdr the payment of the debt
due to the insurance company, and for
other purposes therein named. In fur
ther pursuance of the plan, all debts
due to general creditors have been set
tled, except such as were due for
money borrowed, which latter have
been satisfactorily arranged. A de
cree of the Superior Court of Chatham
county will be necessary to confirm
and carry out the reorganization plan
in all of its terms, so as to discharge
the receiver and restore the armory
property to the corps.
The Guards have adopted the report
of their committee, and resolved as
follows:
“That the reorganization plan and
agreements pursuant thereto, and all
the actings and doings of the Commit
tee on Reorganization are hereby rati
fied and approved.
“That the said committee are hereby
authorized to consent to such decree
as may be necessary for the purpose
of making said plan effective.
“That the commanding officer and ex
officio president and secretary are
hereby authorized and empowered to
execute on behalf of this corps, a cer
tain series of bonds aggregating sev
enteen thousand five hundred dollars
($17,500) to be used in carrying out
the said reorganization plan as here
inbefore stated, and are further au
thorized and empowered to execute
and deliver to the Oglethorpe Savings
and Trust Company, a mortgage or
deed of trust conveying to said com
pany as trustee the armory property
known as lots 31, 32 and 33, Jasper
ward, and the improvements thereon,
as security for said bonds, the said
mortgage or deed of trust being sub
ject, however, to the prior lien of the
mortgage or deed of trust held by the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company
dated Oct. 1, 1892. and subordinate also
to the agreement made with said Penn
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
the first of October, 1901, and to any
other agreement which may be here
after made between this corps and
said insurance company, relating to
said indebtedness; the said bonds and
