Judge Murphy Discharges Chute-Ste
phen Gage Promises tn Tasfifx

phen Gage Promises to Testify.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 30.-Judge Murphy, of
the superior court, passing upon the writ of
habeas corpus sued out by Richard Chute, today
discharged the latter from custody. Chute, who
is a well-known politician, on Thursday last
was fined $500 and sentenced to five days in the
county Jail by Presiding Judge Wallace of the
superior court, for ignoring @ subpoena of
the grand jury to appear before them and give
testimony which, it is understood, was wanted
in connection with the investigation of the
scandals affecting the last state legisla-
ture. After his sentence Chute procured
a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that
the grand jury, which had been CHOSEN by an
elisor appointed by Judge Wallace, was Illegally
constituted, and had no power to summon him.
Judge Murphy today, in deciding the habeas
corpus case, ruled that he, as judge of concur
rent jurisdiction, has power to decide q legal
action taken by the presiding judge, aud that
the question at issue is one which can be de-
cided upon writ OF habeas corpus. He further
more decides adversely the questions whether
the system or mode employed by Judge Wallace
in selecting the grand jury was legal and proper
aud whether Judge Wallace had legal power to
appoint an elisor. The decision was listened to
by great crowd.
second subpoena from the grand jury, sum-
moning Richard Chute to appear as a witness
was served upon the latter today just after his
release by Judge Murphy, who decided Chute
not in contempt for refusing to answer the sum-
mons in the first instance. Judge Murphy will
shortly be served with subpoena to appear be-
fore the body whose legality he has just passed
upon, and win have an opportunity in his own
person to prove the soundness of his decision
On the personal assurance of Creed Raymond
his counsel, that stephen T. Gage, director of
the southern Pacific Company, would appear on
Friday next TO show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt for also failing to answer
the subpoena of the grand jury, Presiding Judge
Wallace today continued until that date the at
tachment for Gage, which was returnabIe today,
but which had expired before the latter could
be found.
A mass meeting has been called, to take place
next Friday night at Metropolitan hall. to pro-
test against Judge Murphy's decision in declar-
ing the grand jury an illegal body.

THE TACOMA HARBOR LINE.
Northern Pacific Lays Claim to a RIGHT
of-WaY All Along the Mater

OLYMPIA, Sept. 3o-[special. THE barhor
line commission today listened to arguments
from John III. Mitchell, jr., representing the
Northern Pacific Company and Isaac W. A,der-
son and c. O. Bean, in behalf of the Tacoma
Land Company, with reference to the pronosed
harbor lines and waterways at Tacoma. No ac
tion on the subject was taken, the maps of the
harbor not being ready The members of the
commission were very much surprised this
evening to learn that proceedings had been
commenced by the Northern Pacific in the
United States circuit court at Tacoma IN re
strain the commission from proceeding with
its work at that city. They regarded il as s;ngu.
lar that Attorney Mitchell, in his address to the
board, had not referred to the suit Mr.. Mitchell
asked the commission to recognize the right of
the company to a right-of-way under its charter
along the entire water front of Tacoma. and the
suit has evidently been brought to compel the
commission TO recognize such alleged right.
1t is feared that the proceedings will indefi.
nitely delay the establishment OF the Tacoma
harbor lines. The writ has not yet been served
Though the commission has not We: examined
the legal question presented, it will take stens
to assert the title OF the state to the disputed
strip.
TACOMA, Sept. 30.-[special. Judge Hanford
of the Uuited States circuit court today issued q
temporary restraiing order, commanding the
harbor line commission to refrain from f,,rtbar
proceedings toward establishing Tacoma,s
harbor lne and commanding the city and the
state not TO file any plars of the harbor
until the petition OF the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company claiming right of way 200 feet
wide along the entire water front, not already
disposed of by deed. is heard. The petition will
be heard October Il The railroad comnany
claims the property under the act of Congress- az
July ., 1864, granting it the right of way, with
all rights, such as access to deep water land
ings, etc, against all corporations munieipaI or
private, and against the rights of the state The
land claimed amounts 10 thirty-six acres The
case viii probably be carried to the United
States supreme court, as the Northern Pacific
would have control of nearly all of the water
front now available should the decision be fav
orable to it

DETECTIVE SYSTEM CONDEMNED.
An Eastern Idea of Its Existence--Sulli-
van yentilates His Idea.


TACOMA, Sept 30.-lspeciall-A prominent
Eastern capitalist, who has invested large sums
OF money In the Sound country, is here from the
East, in which section, he said this evening to
correspondent of the observation-disclosures,
the reports published about the abduction
OF private citizens and other acts OF lawlessness
by private detectives is bound to lessen conf
denee, as regards the safety OF property and in
diyiduals in the Northwest. He referred to the
abduction of Messrs. Bailey and Albertson at
Seattle, and commented at length upon the ef-
feet upon law-abiding communities of such acts
of lawlessness. Many well-informed East
ern people drawing their conclusions from
reports of such acts, naturally conclude that
instead OF the respect that is shown the statutes
as rule in Washington, the residents thereof
were iawiess themselves in a measure, besides
being ruled over by detectives who neither re-
spect the laws of the land nor the
people thereof. He held that 1t is
high time stop was put to such outrageous dis
turbances as the Seattle abduction, and the per-
petrators of such deeds should be driven from
the state or be compelled to become good citizens
Detective Sullivan's attention was called to
the Eastern mans state ment
''0h, the windy newspapers cause all the
trouble he retorted. 81 bossed the job in the
arrest OF R. B. Albertson and would not have
had not got in trouble in getting him to go with
him, and II he had not got half dozen thump-
ers to stand handy to thump the arresting Off
GERS. In Seattle it all depends on whose OK is
being gored. Other men have been arrested in
a similar manner in Seattle.
'Pm going to give up the detective business
anyway, he continued, with smrk. I'm
going into politics in King county Pm going
TO the state senate. Oh, that may seem rfdicu-
lous bat may. The Knights OF Labor of King
county, receive me kindly, and can go up into
the mines and be elected by the negro coal
miners in spite OF any effort to down me-"
The newspaper man laughed at the play OF
Mr.. Sullivan's ideas. Mr.. Sullivan chueklcd.
.The seattle people thought Edward Albert
son was going to tell great tale didn't they?
They sent Judge 6tratton and half dozen de-
tectives down into Oregon to see that we didn't
get anything out of him." ard Sullivan
laughed with his peculiar wheeze "If they are
anxious about Aibertsons condition, let a
few of them club in and pay the doctors bill
and pay for the excellent care we are giving
him. If We had not taken such good care of
him he would have died, sure!"
Reference was made to the anti-Pinkerton
bill, and Mr.. Sullivan took occasion to denounce
as lie the statement that he had put up money
to secure its defeat by veto "The strike busi-
ness, he said, sin our line Is hazardous, costly
and don't pay" He claims he sold his Seattle
property because he had good chance to sell.
and not for the purpose of preventing the
county or citizens thereof from recovering dam
ages in case OF defeat in the abduction case.
