Judge Gresham Renders an Opinion In
the Case of the Refractory
Railway Officers
Who Refused to Answer Questions Put
Them bY the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The Commission an Administrative and
Not judicial Body-An Appeal
to BE Taken.

CHICAGO, Dec S.--Judge Gresham
has rendered the most important deci-
sion which has been handed down since
the interstate law was enacted. Last
July w. G. Brinson, Sumner Hopkins,
Henry Walker, w. r. Sterling and other
railroad officials, charged with having
given unlawful advantage to the Illinois
Steel company. of this city, in the matter
of freight rates, refused to answer GER
tain questions propounded by the inter
state commerce commission, or produce
books, declaring that the interstate COM
merce law did not give the commission
the functions of grand jury and that
it had no right to carry on such investl-
CATION in the absence of formal COM
plant. United States District Attorney
Milchrist contended that something
should be done to make witnesses
answer questions as to the jurisdiction
of the commission and he filed petition
in the circuit court before Judge
Gresham to require the refractory wit
nesses to answer questions anu
produce books asked Tor. Judge
Gresham, in long opinion, re-
fused to grant the petition,
holding that the interstate commerce
commission is an adminlstra-
tive, and not judicial body,
and that the court could not be used In
aid of all investigation before such trl-
bunal. The Jurisdiction Of the courts
of the United States is limited, the
Judge says, and it is not competent for
congress to confer upon them authority
which is not strictly sun gal and clearly
within the grant found in the third ar
ticle of the constitution.
District Attorney Milchrist at once
gave notice that he should apply for
review of the case in the supreme court.
The railroad lawyers are jubilant, feel
ing that they have now virtually estaD'
lished the unconstitutionalityo of the act

William C. Sauer, French Creole,
Says lie Had a Hand In Chief
Hennessey's Murder.
He Heard the Plots Made and Was One
OF Those Who Participated in
the Crime.
A Seattle Man Murders Woman for
Refusing TO Marry, and Imme-
diately Suicides.

DENVER, Dec. S.-Everyone is ac-
quainted with the Malta and the murder
of Chief Hennessey, of New Orleans,
which was followed by the lynching of
the alleged murderers, and which, in
tur Il, nearly led to war between the
United States and Italy. There has
been serious doubt of the guilt of the
Italians, but there is now man in the
Arapahoe county Jail who admits that
he belonged to the society and witnessed
the murder, and from his admissions it
is evident he took part in it. Remorse
and thoughts of the awful crime have
evidently unbalanced his mind and he
can no longer keep the dreadful secret,
but told it freely to Chief Howe and
Officer Peterson, of the police force.
He is in fearful condition. His hands
tremble and it is with difficulty that
he can talk. The cause of his ar
rest here was burglary and he
was bound over in $500 bonds
on that charge. He is William G.
Sauers, French creole, and is rather
young looking. His story is that he
roomed with four others of the society
in dingy portion of the City of New
Orleans. He was present at the meet
ings when plots Of revenge, he says,
were made against the chief of police.
He heard their oaths and knew their
secrets. He went with them on the night
of the murder, and says he waa with
them when, under cover, they fired the
fatal shots, and that he participated in
the riot. The man managed to make
his escape, but his comrades were cap
tured and put in Jail. He left New
Orleans, and, actuated by remorse, has
since been wanderer, finally arriving
in Denver. Sauers did not tell the
names of the assassins of Chief Hennes-
sey, saying that he could not remember
them. His actions, however, belied his
words, and would lead to the belief that
he was very closely connected with the
murder. When asked if mistake had
been made in lynching the Italian pris-
oners at New Orleans. he said that some
of them were implicated in the assassin
alton.

A Movement to Consolidate the Three In
One.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The people of
West Superior and South Superior have
combined in an effort to secure the
abolition of their postoffices and the dis
continuance of the Office at Superior,
also, and they have requested Postmas-
ter General Wanamaker to establish
one office instead of the three, and locate
it satisfactory for all concerned. This
peculiar local fight is hard to settle and
Congressman Haugen has requested
that Chief Inspector Stuart, in charge
of the Chicago inspection division, be
ordered to visit the Superior offices and
make an elaborate report, with recon-
mendations. This will be done, and the
matter will be settled practically as
Stuart recommends.

WASHeURN'S BILL.
The Fight on the Anti-option Measure
Already Begun-It WIN BE Bitter.

The Fight on the Anti-Option Measure
Already Begun-It win BE Bitter.
MINNEAPoLIs, Dec. 3. The Tribune's
Washington special says: The board of
trade men have moved quietly but sys-
tematically, and are apparently organ
lied to win. They have begun their
open warfare on the anti-option bill in
the senate. Numerous petitions from
Southern states were presented oppos-
ing the bill and setting forth that board
of trade speculation was directly respon-
sible for the present rise in cotton.
Other petitions poured in from the
Northern states asking an investigation
of the wheat combine, comprising Min
neapolis elevators, mills and railroads.
The petitions allege the purpose of the
combine is to depress the prices of
wheat, and ask a postponement of ac-
ton on the anti-option bill until the
investigating committee can report
All these memorials were referred to
the committee ON agriculture.
Hundreds more of petitions of the
same kind will be sent in from all parts
of the country. Some were presented
from Senators PETER and Kyle from
their respective states. Senator Kyle
stated, when he sent his to the desk,
that it looked as if they came from the
Chicago board of trade. The petitions
are genuinely signed, but they eman-
ated from the board of trade and are
part of the plan to defeat Washburn's
bill. If the investigating committee is
appointed the bill will not come to a
vote in this congress. A new bill will
then be necessary and the fight would
have to be gone through with again in
both houses.
In addition to these tactics, number
of heavy speeches viii be made in oppo-
sition to the anti-option bill. The pros.
pect is that it will be well along in the
session before vote can be taken. II
the bill passes the senate it will have 9
hard time in the house, owing to impor
tant amendments which have beer
made to its provisions. The indications
are that the Southern states are goine
over to the opposition and If this proves
to be a fact the measure will be de
! feated.

M'KINLEY WILL RUN.
The Governor Believes Protection VIII BE

The Governor Believes Protection VIII BE
the Issue in the Next Election.
LIMA, o., Dec. 7.--Governor Mckinley
will lead the Republican hosts in Ohio
next November. This is reliable, based
upon private interview which he had
with Wilson Edwards, prominent Re-
publican. Mr.. Edwards went to Colum-
bus for a requisition and was obliged to
see the governor in his home. The con-
versation took political hue and issues
of the campaign were discus ed. Said
the governor;
II believe protection will be the line
of battle in the next campaign"
This led Mr.. Edwards to pointedly in
quire:
"Will you be the Republican candi-
date for governor next year."
IF my own wishes were consulted, -
replied the governor, II would prefer a
less active part in politics, but if pro-
lection is the issue and my party wan s
me l will lead. l will, if nominated, do
my best to secure elec ion"
This, coming from the governor to a
friend, makes the assurance that he will
be the choice.

The Treaty Regarding War Vessels on the

The Treaty Regarding War Vessels on the
Great Lakes Not Abrogated.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Secretary of
State Foster has transmitted to the pres
ident a report in answer to the inquiries
propounded in a senate resolution of
April II, 1892, which was laid before
the senate. The question related to the
treaty of 1917 between the United States
and Great Bcitain respecting the main
tenance of armed vessels on the Great
Lakes. The secretary says that the
terms of the treaty are held by the
department Of state to be still in force,
and that neither party is maintaining
armed vessels on the lakes in viola
ton of the treaty. The report shows
that subject to the notification by Presi-
dent Lincoln, in 1865, ratified by resolu-
ton Of congress in 1865, of the desire of
the United States to withdraw from the
treaty, diplomatic correspCn lence
ensued, with the result that On March s.,
1865, the United States minister at Lon
don was instructed to Withdraw the
previous no ice. This was communi-
Gated to Sir T. Bruce, British min ster,
by Secretary Seward June i6, 1854 at
which date corresp, II lence in regard to
the termination of the treaty OF 1871
ceased. Since that time it has been re-
4 garded by b tn governments as Ill con
tinuing force and effect.

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. S.-Charles
Rogers Moulton shot and killed Mrs NJ.
S. Story, residing. at 4l6 Marion street,
and then shot himself dead. Mrs. Story
was the daughter of a clergyman at
Windsor, Ont, and was vocal music
teacher in this city. she had returned
from the theatre but a few minutes be-
fore being killed. Moulton was 2S years
old, and was a real estate dealer, and
came here from San Francisco two
years ago. He had constantly offered
Mrs. Story attentions, which she slighted
and when he asked her to marry him
she positively refused. A few days ago
he threatened to shoot her if she did not
marry him. He was concealed in her
room awaiting her return. He then shot
her in the left temple and fired the
pistol into his own mouth. Both died
instantly. Mrs. Story leaves two sons,
aged IL and Is years.

A KANSAS HANGING.
Charles A. Benson VIII BE the, PrinCi-
pal Actor.

Charles A. Benson viii BE the Princi-
pal Actor.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 8.-The SUI
preme court of the United States has
finally determined that Charles A. Ben
son, the Leavenworth murderer, must
hang. Benson is the slayer of Miss
Theresa Mailman, the crime having
been committed in March 1890. Benson
killed the woman on government land,
carrying his victim just across the
the line of the reservation for the fort.
So close to the mark was the deed COM
mitted that the main point at iasue early
in the trial was whether Mrs. Mettman
was killed under Kansas or United
States jurisdiction. 1t was determined
that the killing had taken place on the
fort reservation, and Benson was con-
victed of the murder before Judge
River, the United States judge at
Topeka. He was sentenced to be hanged
and the case was appealed to the supreme
court of the United States with the re-
suit announced.

hanging in Kansas for years, as that
state does not not hang its criminals,
and only the fact that Benson over
stepped the government lines few feet
will cost him his life.
