THE ST. LOUIS RIOT.
II Results in Strained Relations Between
Court and Police.

Court and Police.
ST. LOUIS, MO, December 20.-As a
result OF tho riotous proceedings in the
Court of Criminal Correction yesterday,
during which a number OF policemen as
saulted and fearfully maltreated a negro
who had just been discharged by Judge
Murphy. and threatened TO Kill promi-
nent attorney and some citizens who in
terfered I'm the negroes behalf. the rela-
lions between the court officials and the
Police Department are severely strained.
When the riot was at Its height Judge
Murphy adjourned the court. When 1t
was reconvened. the Judge issued an
order that no policeman should be al
lowed 10 carry arms while in the court
room. Then he asked for the names
Of witnesses, or OF persons taking part
I'm the disgraceful proceedings which
caused the court to be adjourned. But,
although the room was filed with par
Elephants in and witnesses OF the riot,
no one would testify.
a few minutes later Police-Ofilcer Erbe
entered the courtroom, carrying his re-
volver. Judge Murphy promptly fined
him SIS and sentenced him 10 ten days
in Jail for contempt OF court. He was
released on a writ Of habeas corpus, pro-
cured by Chief-of-Police Harrlgan.
During the trial OF prisoner shortly
afterward Chief Harrigen entered the en-
closure reserved for attorneys and repre-
sentatives of the press. and was ordered
therefrom by Judge Murphy. The Chief
withdrew, and then threatened to make
test case of the Judges rulings
Judge Murphy announced that all men
acquitted Of crime would have the pro-
lection of the court, and If any one in
terfered with them on leaving the court
room he would consider IL contempt or
court, and deal with them accordingly
Judge Murphy has been on the bench
but q few weeks, and his rulings have
been a surprise to the Police Department.

A Blow Mt the Telephone Monopoly.
nalfimora Herald.l

1t has been a year or more since the
Bell patent on telephone-receivers expired
by Limitation. Attempts to secure an ex-
tension were unsuccessful This virtually
made the vital principle In the transmits
sion OF articulate speech by means OF an
electric current public property, and open
ed the construction and use OF telephones
to competition. limited only by the valua-
bic franchises held by the American Bell
Telephone Company.
But the latter was not disposed to forego
the benefits derived from exclusive con-
troll of the field, and strove TO retain It's
monopoly by having O new patent begin
just about the time the old one should
expire. For this reason application was
made years ago for patent on the Ber-
liner device In transmitters. which shut
out all inventors of similar contrivances.
The patent was not actually issued. how
ever, until u short time ago, the company
having, by methods well known to cor
poration attorneys. prevented final action
on the application In the Patent Office at
Washington until then. Neither was the
device used.
The validity Of the patent was attacked
in the United States Circuit Court at Bos-
ton on the ground that the article II was
intended TO cover was similar to one
patented and in use since 1880. and that
consequently no patent could Issue on II.
on Tuesday the Court delivered its opin-
ion declaring the patent void.
Public sentiment will doubtless sustain
the decision. The intention to secure a
fresh hold upon the people by trick
was too obvious. The way Is still open
for an appeal to the United States SUI
preme Court but, as evidence that there
can be no doubt about the final outcome,
Bell telephone stock fell nine points as
soon as the opinion of the Circuit Court
was made known.
