THEY NEED NOT TESTIFY.
SO Judge Gresham SAYS of the
Railroad Men

CHICAGO, Dec, 10.-Judge Gresham has
rendered one of the most important de,
cisious which has been handed down
since the interstate commerce act was
enacted. Last July W. G. Brinson, d,
Brown, L. Hopkins, Henry Walker, w.
r. Strecklog and others refused to an.
swer certain questions propounded by
the interstate commerce commission.
and under the twelfth section of the act
District Attorney Milchrist brought a
petition before Judge Gresham to COM
pei the production of the books and the
answer of the questions.
Judge Gresham in long opinion re-
fuses to grant the petition to compel the
witnesses to testify and produce books,
holding that the ecourt could not be made
subsidiary to or a subordinate auxiliary
to a non.judicial and administrative
body.
This is the famous case in which the
Chicago and Grand Trunk. the Calumet
and Blue Island, Chicago and kenosho,
Joliet and Blue Island, Chicago and
Southeastern, Milwaukee, Bayvlew and
Chicago, Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago
and Eastern Illinois, Big Four, Chicago
and Erie, Michigan Central Lake Shore,
Pennsylvania, Nickel Plate, Wabash and

discrimination in favor of large Chicago

HE SITS DOWN.
a Kansas Judge Refuses 20 Six al
for His Party.

KANSAS CITY,, Mo, Dec. 1O.--A letter
from c. 6. Foster, United States district
judge, to Governor Humphrey, has been
made public and will create lively SEN
sation throught the State. 1t reads
"HoN. l.. L. HUMPHREY. Dear Gov
ernor-I haye been standing up for Kan
sas to the best Of my ability, but when
it comes to stealing members OF the Leg
islature and Presidential electors from
political opponents. YOU must excuse me
if sit down. Sincerely yours,
c. G. Foster"
Judge Foster has been life long Re-
publican, but for several years has not
been in close touch with the State lead
ers. Two years ago he took stand on
the side of resubmission Republicans, and
later got into newspaper dispute with
Major J. X. Hudson, editor of the Capt.
tol, over the prohibition question.

ALL IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Chatham Record: Almost brutal and
cowardlv outrage was committed in this
county, two weeks ago. 4 band OF dis
guiSed men went at night to the house OF
Mr.. Bryan Phillips, of Bear Creek town
ship, and took him out into the woods
and cruelty whipped him. When the
lynchers took Mr. Phillips out of his
house his father and family started to
follow them, but were driven bi ok wit
threats of being shrt. The only reason
that is supposed to have instigatcd this
high handed outrage is that Mr.. Phillips
was suspected of having poisoned two
horses in The ncighhorhood, which are
thought to have died from poison.
In the United States Circuit court at
Raleigh, Lachariah Rhodes, a deputy
United States marshal was tried for the
murder of John Edwards, a prisoner ar

illicit distilling When near the house he
broke loose, called his dogs and set them
on Marshal Rhodes and ran for the
swamp. Marshal Rhodes warned him
to stop, fired in the air first and then at
Edwards, killing him. Under the charge
of the judge the Jury acquitted the pris.
oner.

IMPORTANT DECIsION.
The Wilmington and weldon
Railroad Liable for Taxes.

RALEIGH, n. G., Dec. S.-The lmpor-
tance to the State of the decision of the
United States Supreme court in the case
brought by Halifax county to test the
legality OF the Wilmington ard Weldon
railways exemption from taxation is
very great. The Supreme court of this
State decided on appeal that these
branches were liable Then there was an
appeal to the United States Supreme
court. The new decision makes $50
miles liable to taxation, with rolling
stock and real estate, leaving only $50
miles still claiming exemption. The
State Supreme court expressed an opin-
ion that upon test case the main line
$50 miles would be found to be liable
also, and that the question will probably
come up very soon
The decision carried with it back taxes
for great many years. On that part
of the line from Halifax to Weldon these
are due for fifty years; on the division
from Rocky Mount to Tarboro, thirty
years, and on branches from five to ten
years. The aggregate OF these back
taxes is estimated by high authority t.
approximate $5O0,00O, and will GER.
tainly be $250,00 Richmond Dis

A BILL has been introduced in Con
gress by Representative Harter, of Ohio,
proposing to rob the sugar trust of it's
grip by making it pay onc-half of one
cent pound on raw sugar. This would
make uniform rate on all sugar, re-
hned or unrefned. At present there is a
duty OF half cent a pound on refined
sugar, such as the people use, but none
on raw sugar. The proposal is to make
the trust pay into the treasury a half a
cent pound on raw sugar and thus lose
Its monopoly. The present duty on su.
gar exists only for the trusts benefit.
The price of refined sugar cannot be ef-
fected by the proposed duty.

Passion and Pants,

One Of the most fascinating clubmen in
town. who has a great big weakness for
che fair sex and who delights in copying
sentimental verses into their albums, met
with blond curdling check the other day.
He was seated beside lovely girl, who
lent coral and an attentive ear to all his
burning words. Ordinary language was
inadequate to express his emotion, 20 he
scrubbed on slip OF paper taken at ran
dom from his pocketbook:
oh. darling. hearken thy heart beats,
Art thou listening, sweet one, unto mine?
love thee, love thee. love theei
You fire up my pulses like wine.
The foregoing may not be strictly cor
rect but the verses were of that character
extremely warm and cOrrespOndingly
boshy. The poor sweet girl took them
with a tear In her eye, and with glance
Of ineffable tenderness at her adoref con-
cealed them in the folds of her dress. The
next morning, in the cold, gray, realistic
light, the clubman got a letter. 1t was
brief, but to the point. It said, when
next you write sentimental verses to me,
please do not let your romantic nature
make you careless" And the unfortunate
man read on the diverse of the scrap where
he had indited his soul thrilling lines:
"Mr. -, DR.. To cleaning and repair
ing six pairs Of pants. six dollars" And
worse still. the bill was unreceipted Even
Ovid, immortal bard Of love, would have
the vim knocked out of him by such con
treremps. San Francisco News-Letter.
