(American News Service) Atlanta. Ga., Feb. 1. Messrs. Gaynor and Greene, two of the most noted Inmates of the big Federal prison here, will be released from that institution within a few days. Under the good behavior rule their sentence of

four years was cut down to three years and ono month, which period will expire next week. The exact day of their leaving tho prison has been kept secret, owing to the desire of the prisoners to avoid publicity. They will be met at the prison gates by the memlwrs of their families, who have resided In Atlanta the most of the time since Gaynor and Greene began serving their sentences. According to popular belief loth prisoners have managed to wtain a considerable part of their largo fortunes and it is rumored that a long sojourn in Europe will follow their release. It is doubtful if any case of its kind in the history of the country ha3 attracted more attention than that of John F. Gaynor and Benjamin D. Greene, chiefly because of the long legal battle they waged to escape a trial. Their troubles began in December, 1900, when both were indicted by a grand jury In Savannah, of having defrauded the government in conspiracy with Captain Oberlin M. Carter of the United States Engineer Corps. It has been demonstrated that Carter for years had been conspired with the Atlantic Construction company, of which Gaynor and Greene were the chief partners, to the end that only this company could bid for the work of river and harbor improve.

ments around Savannah; that Carter drew specifications that only the Atlantic people could meet on time, and that in this and other ways the government was defrauded of about $2.000,000. Carter was convicted and sentenced to prison and to pay a fine. Gaynor and Greene being arrested ia New York, began to contest extradition to Georgia. They carried the case finally to tlie Supreme Court, which decided against them; and that on the eve of their being taken to Georgia they fled, leaving their bondsmen to forfeit altogether the sum of $80,000. On May 11, 1902 they turned up at the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec. Proceedings for their extradition were at once begun. The Canadian officers, fearing delay arrested the mand took them by boat to Montreal. The prisoners' lawyer tried to stop the tug and serve writs of habeas corpus, but they failed. With the prisoners confined in Montreal there was a repitition of the old struggle between the courts. The Quebec courts wanted the men back there, whereas Extradition Commissioner LaFontaine wished to hear the case against them In Montreal. Finally the Quebec judge scored and they were returned to that city. On August 13, 1902, Judge Caron dismissed aK

charges against the prisoners, a decis

ion which aroused a sto?;ni of protest from the press In both Canada and the

United States. The United States government then apepaled to the Eng

lish privy council, which decided

against Gaynor and Greene. The

men then applied for a writ af habeas corpus, which was denied. Following their return to Savannah.

Gaynor and Greene, who already had spent over $750,000 In their defense.

appealed to the Supreme court of the United States on a technicality, but they again lost and the judgment against them, which covered a fine of the same amount of money supposed to have been taken, was affirmed. The legal battle lasted over six years and it was not until the beginnig of 1907 that the men were received at the Federal prison In Atlanta to begin serving their sentences.

HUSTLING WOMEN MUCH IN DEMAND Says Mrs. Steffenson, of Dublin, Who Is Shining Example of the Type. Educating her two daughters and in addition earning a comfortable living from her labors at upholstering, canning and furniture repaiF work,,. Mrs. M. Steffenson of Dublin, Indiana,;. is an example of one of the few women in Indiana, who, singlehanded, has been able to meet the world's trials

and tribulations with success. All of the work connected with these duties she docs herself, even to the delivery of the heavy pieces of furniture. Women who are obliged to work in order to 'support themselves, and when they must also provide for their children, can find the opportunity to engage in congenial work: with profit to themselves, Mrs. Steffenson states. There is a daily demand for women of the hustling type. "Women can compete with men in tha various kinds of business and there is a daily demand for honest, energetic, hustling women. I suppose few women have ever thought of making their own living out of the upholstering, canning and repair work that is an art in itself,' and like every other

kind of work it requires -time and pa

tience to make it a success and Is really considered a man's work," says Mrs. Steffenson. "I learned to be an upholsterer in a shop and have been in business for myself for more than five years, and have all of the work I can do. I do the work at the homes or take It to my shop. "I do my own soliciting and draying, making the work enjoyable and, not only for that reason, but because there

is always something new to learn about it. '-. "It brings one into touch with a fine class .of people and there are so many pretty pieces of silks, tapestries and leathers to bo used which makes the work interesting. I see no reason why women can not make a success in this business, as it requires but a small capital."

WORST YET TO COME

Says Netterville as to Salary Grabs.

AWAITING

COUNTY

(Palladium Special) . j Indianapolis, - Feb. 1. "Salary ! grabs," according to Senator Nettcr-J ville, are to be one of the big issues of the session from now on. "The worst is yet to come," he declared. "They are coming with , demands, from supervisors up to metropolitan police. There was some merit in the Fleming bill which, when amended, raised' commissioners salaries in five counties. It was 6hown the increase in some counties was needed In Lake and Allen I should say. But even at that it only passed because it is practically sure to be amended in the house. Those commissioners are only the officers, I believe, who have any merit back of their claims for more money. "The further salary claims are to be the big issue from now on, but 1 do not look for the line up to be as close as it was the other day. I think

most of the Democrats will hug their pledges a little more tightly hereafter."

An Interesting Antique.

"Fine old inn. sir," commented the host. "Everything In this house has

its story."

"I don't doubt it," remarked the

grouchy tourist. "And is there any

legend connected with this old piece

of cheese?" Kansas City Journal.

CENSUS ORDERS Residents of Townships and Small Towns Impatient Over the Delay. Announcement of the census of tho smaller towns and of the townships of Wayne county by United States Census Director Durand is awaited with much intersest by tho residents

of these places, and more particularly

by the officials, as it will concern

them perhaps more than other citizens. From latest advices it is improbable that these census figures

will be ' ready for announcement for several weeks. It is hard for Wayne county people to understand just why since the director has been able to announce the population of the counb. if he cannot now announce the population of townships and small towns. Wayne township, which is the largest in the county, from the standpoint of population probably will have more than 26,000 inhabitants accord

ing to a compilation made by Township Trustee James Haworth and assistants. The population of Richmond is approximately 23,000 and according to the school enumeration, there are about 3,200 inhabitants in the township who live without the city. ... Would Boost Salary. Should the census of the township be more than 25,000 the salary of the township trustee will be increased. The present law, which likely will be repealed by the legislature, provides that a trustee in a township of over 25,000 population shall receive between $1,000 and $1,500 a year the exact amount of salary to be fixed by the board of county commissioners. Even though the law is repealed it is

believed its substitute will provide , similar salary. Increases in population in all other townships and towns in the county la expected therein. Whether any changes will become effective as a result of the 1910 census will depend on the per cent of increase which was made. Residents of Cambridge City believe the census will show a population of close to two thousand, while it is thought there will be several towns which will have a population of five hundred or more.

still holds tho office.

BAD BLOOD. Is the cause of nine tenths of ths- ills which the human body is afflicted. The symptoms of which range from' the dreaded contagious blood poison to the minutest eruption on the skin. They include rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, pimples, boils, ulcers, running sores. Inflamed eyes, and enlarged glands down to sick hoadache and a muddy or sallow complexion. The prescription of Dr. Simpson, (the noted blood Specialist of Richmond, Ind.) known as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound, is the

most powerful alterative, or blood pur-

hifier, ever known. Its reputation was

firmly established a few years ago, by curing apparently hopeless cases, was certified by county and city officials, and widely noted by the press; since which thousands have been relieved by its use. Good blood Invariably means vigorous health, and appetite, good dlgestion, strength, and a clear, healthful complexion. This is assured to all who try this remedy; its remedial effects are apparent with the first few doses. Dr. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is purely vegetable, and is harmless as it Is effective. It Is put up in convenient fornj at one dollar per bottle and is sold at all drug stores.
