.Cannon May Yet Be ObPged.to Take Second Place with Roosevelt. IT IS EITHER "JOE" 02. SHAW So It Is Said at Washington -General Tyner on Trial -Small Sensation in tbe Smoot Case. Washington, May 3. There Is every indication now that Leslie M. Shaw and Joseph G. Cannon have been forced into a realization of the fact that one or the other will be nominated for vice president at the Chicago convention in June and that the latter has modified his picturesque ob- . Jection to accepting such a nomination. This is understood to be one of the results of the meeting at the "White House, which was attended by Cannon, Senators A Id rich, Spooner, Hale, riatt of Connecticut, Lodge and Allison, Representative Heinenway .and Secretary Cortelyou. Cuiaoi't Nam In Front Again. Early last week the Republican lead--ers seemed to come to a realization -of the fact that the candidacy of Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, for vice president was lacking In some elements of strength and that it was steadily losing throigh the inactivity of Fairbanks himself. So in eplte of the repeat 1 declarations of Cannon that he would not accept the nomination, but would rise in the convention and decline it. his name was brought out again, and it was received with -even greater favor than when it wa3 first mentioned some time ago. Ilia Uoom Now In Fall Swing. At the same time there was renewed talk of nominating Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, secretary of the treas ury. There was so much talk in Inner circles about these two men that Saturday afternoon Cannon and Shaw had a long conference at the treasury xiepartment regarding the vice preti3ential nomination, ami it was discovered that Shaw disliked the Idea of . .accepting the nomination almost as etrongly as does Cannon. This conference was followed by the one at the White House Sunday night. Whatever happened at that conference, the Cannon boom is in full swing. Cannon hris left the city on board the Dolphin as the guest of Secretary Moody on an extended cruise through southern waters. CELEASCOP LTNCUEUArM Irish Fns!!ivS(FrM by the Supreme Court of the United State. Washington, May 3. The United States supreme court has affirmed the opinion of the circuit court of the United States for the district of Indiana In the case of United States Marshal Fettit vs. Thomas Walshe, alias Lynch-ehaim, releasing Walshe from custody. It was an extradition case, ami tle opinion was de-livered by Justice Harlan. Walshe is an Irishman who was prosecuted in his own country cm the charge of committing an assault on his landlady with Intent to .commit murder. He was sentenced to penal servitude for life, but escaped and came to the United States, whence the British government sought to secured his extradition. He was arrested at Indianapolis. His release on a writ of habeas corpus was ordered by the Indiana court on the ground that the commissioner In New York was without power to Issue a warrant under which the marshal 4n lactam could legally arrest the accused and deliver bim in New York without a previous examination. Affirming that opinion the supreme court states the treaty provision applying to the case and says: "A applied Vo the present case that stipulation means that the accused, Walshe, could not be extradited mader the treaties In question except npoo such evidence of criminality as, under the laws of Indi- , ana, the plkce- In which he was found, would 'Justify his apprehension and commitment forvtrial if the crime aliased had been committed in that state. In our opinion the evidence of the criminality of the charges must be heard and considered by fome Judge or magistrate authorized by jets of congress to act in extradition matters, and sitting In the etat 3 where the accused was found and arrested'" IXJS ACCUSES PRES!

V. they shall be entitled to all the privileges enjoyed by the miners. Heretofore the engineers began work a lialf 'hour earlier than the miners, and remained a half hour longer In the evening.
