Wants the Fair Closed on sunday.


Wants the Fair Closed on Sunday.
TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
/ would like to urge the Importance of
closing the worlds fair on Sunday. Prob
ably the worst tendency of late years in
breaking the Ten Commandments has been
in the failure 20 keep the Sabbath. This
question of Sunday closing has not been
looked upon from the moral stand point as
much as it should be. When we have q
commandment given us as plainly as God
has given us the commandment for the OBJ
seryance of Sunday. there is no possible
excnse to break il. The cry of demagogues.
who wish to pass as FRIENDS of labor
should have no force with those rho be-
lieve in the Ten Commandments. The fair
Will undoubtedly be opened ut night until
a late hour. The eight-bOur law, which 10
being generally observed in Chicago. will
allow almost any laboring man who cares
to visit the fair as many times as his means
will allow. Those who cannot get to the
fair ut night will undoubtedly be allowed
BIZ their employers ample time 10 visit il
IN the daytime. Even though there are
some who will be deprived % the pleasure
OF seeing the great fair. 1t Is no excuse for
the non-oSservance of the Sabbath. Those
in favor of closing the gates on Sunday
should be aroused at once, as the opposing
aide Is now dong its most desperate work
in trying to get Congress to repeal the act
causing the lair to be closed. | urge Chris.

Railway Pool. Are Not Trusts.

At Topeka. Kan. yesterday. in the fed
eral Circuit Court. Judge Riner handed
down his decision In the Transmissour
Freight Association case. The action was q
suit In equity, brought IN the name of the
United States By United States District
Attorney Ady, under the direction of the
Acknowledgement. to dissolve the Trans
missouri Association, and enjoin the
railroads composing the association from
further participation in il. The courts de-
cisi0n was in favor of the railroads.. dis
missing the complainant bill. The court
held there was nothing illegal in the con-
tract between the railroad companies conf
posing the Transmissouri Association; that
the contract was not in restraint
of trade or against public policy, and
there was nothing IN the contract which
deprived any of the companies composing
IL of the exercise of all their corporate
franchises. The court also held that the
act Of July 2. under the provision of which
the bill of complaint was drawn. was
clearly not intended by Congress to apply
TO railroad companies or common carriers.
but was only intended to apply to combi-
nations. conspiracies and trusts in restraint
of trade similar to those trusts which had
been formed before the passage of the bill.

Parkhurst nor any of his society have ever
asked the aid of the police in their work.
Parkhurst in his statement, says he is not
trying TO suppress vice and disorderly
houses, but is trying to prove that the po-
lice are not doing their duty"
Supt. Byrnes would not say when he
would make public the facts he has,
which, he says, will show the real animus
and purpose of Parkhurst.
When seen at his home Mr.. Parkhurst
at first refused to talk about the matter at
issue between Supt. Byrnes and himself.
When he was asked IL his society would
go ahead with the work of fighting the
police, as outlined in his statement, he
said:
"Why, certainly we are going right on
with our work. Nothing that Byrnes can
say or do will interfere with the work we
have set out to do. We expect the police
now to throw all the obstacles in our way
they can, but they cannot stop u.s."
When asked II the society would furnish
bail for Gardner, its super intendent, who
is in prison charged with extortion, Park
hurst declined to answer. Gardner has
not yet succeeded in getting bail.

the other fame in police circles.
BY tracing an alleged understanding on
The part OF Attorney Adams and Prof
Wood, 1t Is said that Trickey tried TO gain
McHenry's confidence by saying that
Prof. Wood "had been fixed" by the de-
fence; that the detective communicated
with the Fall River police and endeavored
to impress them with the truth of Trick
ey's decoy statement, the meetings at
Providence and Attleboro followed and
the much-talked of money was passed to
McHenry.
The sensation was exploded premature
~ and the public knows the rest. 1t Is
said that there were warm times in the
Grand Jury room, growing out OF sharp
questions on the part OF one Juror who crit
icised Fall River police methods, and on
the part OF another named O'Donnell who
was formerly In the local police depart

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.--Superintendent OF
Police Byrnes yesterday talked OF the
charges made against him and the police
department by DIR. Parkhurst.
The superintendent said: have read
the statement of Parkhurst very carefully
and I find that he makes just two charges.
One is that the police are insufficient and
corrupt, and do not suppress all disor-
derly houses in the city. He has been
making this same charge for nine months.
The other charge is that am trying to
shift the responsibility from my should
ers to his. This charge is new. i may
have something more to say about the
matter later"
Supt. Byrnes, when he was told that
Parkhurst had said that his society would
go on with its work, no matter how many
obstacles were thrown in its way by the
police, said:
''The police never put obstacles in the
