such proposition as the Senate bill to regu-,

Measure Which MIR. Funston Thinks win
he Beneficial if Legislation is Needed.
WASHINGTON, May IA. - Chairman
Funston, of the house committee ON ag-
riculture, is Kansas farmer, and one
of the best posted men in congress on
rural questions. He said to your corre-
spondent;
ayes, am confident that we will get
some legislation, more than is in the
tariff bill at this session, which will be
to the advantage of the farmers. We
have number of measures on the house
calendar and in committee which we
intend to have passed before the session
closes. / think the Butterworth bill, to
prohibit and punish speculation in farm
produce, of the greatest Importance, and
/ think it is so regarded by the farming
community.
at will put an end to fictitious and
uncertain prices, and will give the
farmers the same privileges that are
given others in the markets. The next
measure in Importance is the senate bill
providing for an inspection of meats in
tended for export. This will give us the
power to force open markets for our
meats and other products in Germany
and France, where they are excluded on
the pretext of being unhealthful. If
foreign countries will not admit our
meats after they have passed Federal
inspection we will simply shut out of
our country the imports from those
countries. It will extend our markets,
for we can then retaliate. II legislation
can help the farmers this congress- will
give them help"

BEN. BUTLER THEIR LAWYER.
The Anarchists in the Joliet Penitentiary
Trying to Get Out.


Trying to Get Out.
CHICAGO, May 14.-Preparations have
been made to attempt to secure the re-
lease from the penitentiary of the con-
victed Anarchists, Fielden, Schwab and
Neebe by method heretofore not hint
ed at in the case. In a short time an
application will be made to Judge
Gresham for writ Of habeas corpus on
the grounds that the prisoners are de-
tanned without due process of law.
No less an authority than Gen. Benja-
min F. Butler SAYS that the effort will
almost beyond doubt be successful, the
opinion being based on the expressions
of the United States supreme court in
the proceedings heretofore brought be-
fore that body. "Ben." Butler is reg
ularly retained associate counsellor in
the case.
The Anarchists lawyers say the writ
of habeas corpus will be asked for on
the ground that after the sentence of
death was passed upon the condemned
Anarchists and Neebe was doomed to
spend fifteen years in the peniten-
tiary the case was appealed to the su-
preme court, where the finding of the
Tower court with the sentence of death
for Spies, Parsons, Lingg, Fischer,
Engel, Schwab and Fielden, was af-
firmed. The prisoners were not taken
before the supreme court to hear this
affirmation of their sentence, and their
lawyers were not even notified to be
present.
The claim was made that this is a
breach of their constitutional rights and
that the constitution goes even so far as
to say that sentence of death rendered
in the absence of the prisoners, was not
due process of law.
Gen. Butler writes under date of May
10: After giving sufficient examina-
ton to the record in the case of Fielden,
| have come fully to the conclusion that
it was an attempt to take his life with
ont due process of law"
