TRIAL OF THE A. r. U. LEADERS.
a Day of Contention as to the Powers ,
bn

= Day of Contention rs to the Powers Of
the Court.
CHICAGO, July 25.-The trial of E. Y.
Debs ct al. on charges of contempt of
court was continued before Judge. Woods
and Grosscup and the day was devoted to
disputes as to the powers of the court.
The defense held that the court was one
of equity. while the ofiense charged was
really one in law; that the information
was vague and indefinite; that the simple
denial under oath of the defendants that
they had been guilty of contempt was all
sufficient to call for dismissal of the
case.
The prosecution insisted that the law Of
contempt covered the case; that a bill in
equity was competent to enforce the inter
state commerce and antitrust laws, the
latter of which provided against con-
spiracies to obstruct interstate commerce:
that the reply of the defendants was not
sufficient; that they should not have con-
tented themselves with denying the infor.
nation, but should have told what was
their connection with the strike and dis
order The argument was largely tech
meal, and on both sides backed by numer-
Gus authorities.
y side issue OF the strike is in discussion
now before the police trial board, the case
being that of Sergeant Foreign for shutting
his eyes to acts of The strikers and failing
TO arrest when they were engaged in acts
OF violence. Captain Conrad, of the Fif-
teenth infantry, said that not only For
eight, but all the policemen seationed in
the vicinity of his troops were lukewarm
aud derelict in their duty. Lieutenant
Jameson testified the same way. One
witness for the defense, an ex-policeman
and eX-deputy marshal, testified for For
eIgn. denying the charges against the
latter.
The Times gives the name of the man
alleged TO have offered to sell the influence
OF The Herald to the A. L. L. on condi-
tion that She latter deposit its funds in n
certain haai-, as states that he is Wallace
ID. Rice, a member of the A X. L., dele
gate to last months A. X. L. convention
and reporter Tor The Herald. The Times
adds that after consulting with the editor
of The Herald Rice said that Delis' afli-
davit was a lie.
No men reported at the paper carwheel
works mt Pullman, ard the hands were
notified that other men would he put in
