CoUNsELMAN's CASE.
Judge Gresham Releases Him on
HabeaS COrnnS.

CHICAGO, Nov 26-Judge Gresham this
morning issued a writ of habeas corpus to
Charles Counselman, the board of trade man
who refused to answer the questions of the
interstate commerce commission regarding
discrimination made in his favor by railway
companies on the plea that his answers
might incriminate himself. Judge Gresham
will hear the arguments Friday Counsel
man was held in custody pending the pay-
ment of fine inflicted by Judge Blodgett, Of
the federal district court, for his refusal to
answer, and the writ was issued by Judge
Gresham on a claim that Judge Blodgett was
without jurisdiction in the matter Com
mentlng on the matter, all afternoon paper
says:
Upon the final decision of the ruling made
by Judge Blodgett rests not only the fate of
the Interstate commerce law, but also settles
whether the grain business shall be entirely
controlled by few men on the inside. To
put it i'll a few words, the intent of the inter
state law is to prevent one shipper from ob-
tanning all advantage over another The rate
say from Omaha to Chicago, must be the
same for one man as another, and can only
be changed after due public notice by the
road of its intention. Violation of this pro-
vision is a crime. and conviction insures a
heavy punishment Sucn q state of affairs
exists that without Judge Blodgets ruling
be affirmed, the law might just as well be
wiped off the books. for it could never be
en- forced.
