He Appears Before the Grand
Jury on a Serious Charge.
NEW YORK, March 30.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew was subp9naed to appear before
the grand jury as witness in its in
vestigati0n into the causes response
bic for the collision attended by
fire in the New York Central tunnel
After Mr.. Depew had given his testi-
mony the grand jury prepared num-
Der of questions upon which they
wanted information and submitted
them to Judge Fitzgerald, The judge,
after looking up the statute. said:
The statute provides that the grand jury
may ask the advice of the court rs they are
doing now very properly, and may also ask
the advice of The district attorney. And no
member of the grand jury has right 10 put
any construction of his own on the law, or to
the district attorney. Now. what does the
statute say in regard to this? 1t provides
that person concerned in the commission of
crime, whether he performs ii or aids or
abets in its commission, is a person for the
grand jury to act upon. In relation to tho
matter of directors, which you are inquiring
about at present, have those persons the con-
troll and management of the road: If so ii
is their duty to see that the requirements or
law for safety of the travelling pubic are re-
spected. There should be no hesitation of
the grand jury to act upon the law as ap.
piled to them. Any person concerned
in the commission of an act is a
member of the liable party. The law
says that some person Shall be respon-
sible. Those people control the manage
ment OF this road. They have clear duty
imposed upon them by the statute. If they
have violated the statute an indictment
should be found; and, let he say, that while
it is proper that, in cases where persons of
eminent standing in the community have
serious charges made against them, il is well
carefully to inquire into all particulars yet
the law requires that the same law should be
enforced against them as against any one
else. If the facts warrant an Indictment an
indictment should be found
Judge FitZgerald's words created
some little stir in court. After he had
once more taken his seat juror arose
for further instruction. In answer to
the questions OF the juror the court said
that the directors could be charged with
misdemeanor, as we'll as the corpora
ton. There is not doubt in the mind
of any person who was in the court
room when the jury filed out but that
true bill will be found against the di-
rectors of the road.

THE WEST CASE.
Errors Discovered in the Lower
Courts Rulings.

OTTAWA, ILL.,, March 30.-In the mat
ter of James West versus The People,
the Judgment of the court below is re
yersed and the case remanded. The
opinion is by the court, and does not
enter into the merits of Vests guilt or
innocence. but deals exclusively with
the lower courts rulings and inStruc-
tons. and the Indictment, in both of
which errors are discovered. In the
seventh and eighth counts the motion
of counsel to quash Indictment III court
below was overruled. The court holds
that they should have been sustained.
and adds:
The jury found defendant Graham not
guilty, and defendant West guilty. The mo-
ton TO quaSh was based Oh the effect that in
dlctment was defective in not setting out of

Second-That there was misjoinder of
feion'es in the Indictment. Quoting Bishop,
the court says an indictment which does not
set down, at least i'll general terms all the
element, of the offense, everything which the
law has made essential to the punishment it
imposes is void, because the allegation does
not descend far enough into the the partic-
ulars, aud be sufficiently certain i'll its form

CHICAGO, March 3O.-The case of
j. j. West VS.. The People of the State
of Illinois, in which an opinion was
handed down by the supreme court at
Ottawa to-day, grows out of a struggle
for the possession of the Chicago Times.
Several years ago Mr.. West, Clinton A.
SnoWden, then owners of the Mail, an
afternoon paper, secured the cO-Opera-
ton of the HuiSkamp Bros. company
and other wealthy capitalists of
Keokuk, To-, and bought the Times
from the heirs OF its founder, the late
Wilbur F. Storey. West was installed
as manager of the paper on behalf of
the syndicate. The company became
so largely involved by the eXtravagant
management of West that the HuiS
necessary to GUST Mr.. West from the
management in order to protect
the property. An investigation of
the affairs of the company disclosed
the fact that there was an oyer-issue of
stock TO the extent of several hundred
shares. Criminal proceedings were at
once instituted against West and the
secretary of the company, Graham.
West was found guilty and sentenced
to five years Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary. while Graham was acQuit-

The proper colOring of the immediate
facts, the matter of interest is the nat
ure of the scheme proposed to retain
the industrial elements and give the ap-
pearance of renewed activity and
thrift. A recent mass meeting ap-
pointed committee of thirty prom
inent citizens to evolve revival scheme.
The friction of their associated gray
matter has taken the shape of bill that
the Legislature is asked to enact. Its
purpose and scope are set forth in a
Kansas City paper i'll alluring detail of
promise. 1t is promised that great
number of laboring people are idle, or
have left the city for lack of employ
ment. The proposition is to enlarge
and extend the improvements by pay
ing new miles of stress, laying side
walks, building sewers and opening
bOulevards. AS these are done at the
expense of property owners, and
usually with the consent of the greater
number. encouragement is to be af-
fOrded by allowing them to be carried on
bypetition of a majority of resident prop
perry owners affected, and allowing the
payments to be made in five annual in
stallments, the first year after the
completion of the Improvement. The
local sheet sees this auroral dawning in
the early perspective of the new deal:
With more people and work for all new
industries and new enterprises will spring
up. Then there will be more work, more
improvements, more people. 1t will be
somewhat like a SNOWFALL that grows larger
with every roll and the larger il grows the
faster it grows.
The outside intimation is that these
generous enterprises can be carried on
mainly at the expense of nonresident
property owners. A great deal of East
ern capital has, not always Intentionally,
found its way into realty there. If the
project is materialized, its outcome will
be noted with interest by friendly, as
well as jealous neighbors.

SAID BY SIMPSON.
Chat With the SOckIess Statesman
From Kansas.


NEW YORK. March 30.--An evening
paper says that Congressman Jerry
Simpson, OF Kansas, the noted Farmers
Alliance orator, was at the Windsor
hotel to-day. He occupied a S6-a-day
room. and seemed to be perfectly at
home in the house where millionaires
stop. This dialogue took place between
Mr.. Simpson and reporter:
Some of the Republican papers in New
Hampshire say Senator Chandler invited you
tc speak in that state. Did he?''
Il have never heard anything about it.
spoke their under the auspices of the Far
mers' Alliance. 1t was rather queer that /
should be accused of being an ally of the
Republicans in the North. Now in the South
the Democrats declare the Farmers Alliance
is in with the Republicans and in the North
the Republicans declare we are nothing but
Democrats. And between the two we go

''Doyou expect to run candidate of your

and decide what we shall do. 1t looks to me
as if we should be able to put candidate

You are accused OF helping to elect Sena-
tor Palmer. Did you lend him any aid?''
We'll went by Springfield, and am not
sorry that Mr. Palmer has been elected sena-
tor. Why should not want TO see him elected
senator? We want to hold the balance of
power in the senate and in the house, and
naturally did not wish to see Republican
elected, because it would lessen our chances
in the senate
How do yon expect to have the balance Of
power IN the senate by the election of Sena-
tor Palmer:'
Easy enough. He is Democrat and will
vote against protection, and against the Re
publicans on every vital issue. Well, with

tors from tho West, the Alliance expects to

PALMER FOR CBEGIER.
The Illinois Senator Steps Into
Chicago Politics.

CHICAGO, March 3O.-United States
Senator John M. Palmer arrived in Chi
cago tonight and at once plunged into
the five-cornered mayOralty fight, advo-
eating, as expected, the cause of De-
witt G. Cregier, who has been de-
clared by the Democratic state CEN
trail committee the regular Democratic
nominee, as against eX-Mayor Carter
Harrison. Marching clubs and bands
formed gay escort for the senator. who
proceeded without delay to a meeting of
Democratic PoliSh-Americans which he
addressed in company with Hon. Peter
Kiolbassa, candidate for city treasurer.
An audience of 1000 was present and
enthusiastically cheered the victor of
the recent remarkable senatorial contest
at Springfield.
The burden of Gen. Palmer's speech
was that Chicago was being looked to
by the party throughout the country
for great Democratic victory. He in
timated that harmony now would 60
far toward securing success in strug-
gle for the control of the state. Gen.
Palmer subsequently addressed large
meeting of candinavian-American
also in the interest of Mr.. Cregier.

In Search of His Boy.

DENVER, March 3O.-Thomas Clark,
a boy sixteen years old, who carries the
mail from Oil City to Rongy, Wyo., is
reported to have lost his way, and has
not been heard from since last Sunday.
The route is over terrible road. The
snow in that section is five feet on the
level, and the boy is supposed to have
lost his way. His father, w. A. Clark,
started to hunt him Friday in the midst
OF driving snow storm, and has not
been heard from. Search parties are
looking for them. Yesterday a horse
driven by the father was found dead
between Ervay and Oil City. Serious
apprehensions are had for both. The
storm is raging in that vicinity, and it
is the worst in history of the country.

THE DIRECT TAX,
Treasury Officials Consider the
Best Means of Paving it.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 30
Treasury officials are considering the
best method of settling the direct tax
claims of individuals in those states
where the tax was collected directly by
United States officers. The act provides
that in such cases the money i'll settle
ment of direct tax claims shall be paid
to the governors of the states i'll trust
for the claimants. 1t so happens. how
ever, that the records OF these collec-
tons are in the custody of the govern
ment. and that the governors have not
any information on the subject. Sew
eraI ways out of the difficulty have been
suggested and the one most likely TO be
adopted is for the governors to appoint
agents to make transcripts on govern
ment records, and pay the claims in ac-
cordance Herewith. Under this plan
the states will be allowed to retain all
that portion of its allotment for which
claims shall not be presented within six
years from the date of the passage of
the act,

was scheduled to address labor organ
iZatiOns at the Harris theater: the
parade was on the programme, and had
to come off, no matter what sort of
weather prevailed, and come off
it did. Capt. Budy and his mount
ed patrol led the van. Then
came KlelSt'S band, Respondent for the
present in immaculate uniforms. The
trades and labor assembly followed, and
behind them the members of the cigar
makers union. To be exact though,
President GomperS' carriage followed
the band, with him being representa-
tiveS of the trades and labor
assembly and the cigarmakers'
union. Everything was all right
so long as the procession re-
manned stationary, but when Capt.
Budy'S forward march" started the
up Third street, and Third street at that
particular moment was the beastliest
slough to be found anywhere off hog
farm. Drum Major Feise gave HIS
gilded baton a couple of artistic twirls,
and forthwith stepped knee deep into an
improvised buffalo wallow. Those
beautiful dark blue ineXpressibles were
irretrievably ruined, but the drum
major didn't mind it at all. He
gave the baton another twirl,
viciously this time. and strobe
boldly up the street to the inspiring
measure of the Grenadiers." Straight
ahead, over all obstacles, and through
all sorts of unpleasantness went the
noble army of martyrs. Some of them
fell out now and again to take double
reefs in their trousers, but not so the
major. He had not even deigDed to
turn up the hem of his garment, but
went through the murky darkness in
the teeth of the storm, with ali sail set
and cOlOrS flying. 1t was q piece of
herOiSm of the kind which most often
goes unrewarded, but Maj. FeiSe can
congratulate himself on having passed
through that very dlSagreeable ordeal
like a soldier of the old guard.

bering about three hundred, who

like Swiss goats, but the mud was too
many for them. The awful ravageS
made by the mIre were not fully appre-
ciated or understood until the Harris
theater had been reached, and the band
was lined up in front of the mounted
police in the searching glare of the
electric light. Alas for those swell
uniforms; they were sight. AS the
platoon stood there awaiting the arrival
of the carriage they had escorted, the
members of the band looked for all the
world like the survivors of desperate
charge. They had done their duty
though. The president of the American
Federation of Labor had been escorted
i'll proper style despite the elementary
awkwardness, and as Maj. teise led his
mud-StaIned heroes away there was
righteous pride in his bearing.
