SEPARATE TRIALS WERE DENIED

pear in Court for Them. IS

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 4.-Anoth-
er opportunity was afforded the Com
monweal leaders TO exploit themselves
before the public to-day in the police
court proceedings. Marshal Carl
Browne took advantage Of the occasion
TO swagger about in his buckskin APP
parel and once put In = word OF CON-
mentregarding the proceedings. Judge
Miller, who is hard headed magistrate,
exhibits a tendency TO treat the titled
Com mon wealers likA other defendants
aud threatened to have the Marshal
consigned to the dock. There was an
audience which filed the court room,
and included most OF the Populist lead
ers, as well As other members OF Con-
gress. Senator Allen, while disclalming
sympathy with what he called the Wis
ionary ideas OF Coxey, made q strong
plea for tho constitutional rights OF cit
liens TO peaceably assemble aLd petition
Congress.
JUDGE MILLER REFUSED
separate trial for Coxey, 90 the thres
defendants are In one boat. They were
represented by three attorneys, Repre-
sentative Pence, OF Colorado, ex. Assis-
tant District Attorney A. A. Lipscomb,
Of Washington, and a young and mex
perienced lawyer named Hymaa. The
proceedings were pervaded with good
nature and informality. Once Repre-
resentative Van Voorhis, OF New York,
intejected speech, although he had
no particular connection with the case,
and IL was di ifficult to tell who were the
actual participants.
Major Moore, the chief OF police, 10
his testimony. repeated the converse
tlon with Coxey on April 80, when the
General asserted his intention OF carry
ing out the programme OF speaking from
the Capitol steps. Mr.. Lipscomb en-
deavored TO show by the Major that the
Capitol grounds had often been used for
purposes such as Coxey endeavored TO
carry out, but was oyerruleJ. The trial
will be continued tomorrow and the at
torneys stated to the court that they
expected to conclude then.
DISMAL DAY IN cAMP.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The frequent
showers OF rain that fell here to-day
dampened to considerable extent the
ardor and enthusiasm OF the army OF
the Commonweal. The men are not ad-
equately protected against the weather
and present very forlorn and detected
appearance. The rations furnished are
simple and limited. The feeding OF 500
and more meE, beside a number OF
horses, requires considerable activity
on the part OF those in charge OF the
commissary department Affairs at ths
camp are quiet and the men s1ow no
outward signs OF Dissatisfaction.
CALVIN STILL FARISG WE'LL.
PrTTsBURG, PA, May 4.-Galvln's
army Is still encamped at Homestead.
and will remain over Sunday. Thers
are now 240 soldiers In the army. and
they are being we'll cared for by the
Homesteaders. Calvin spent the day
in Pittsburg In consultation with the
officials Of various labor organizations,
but nothing OF importance was done
toward helping the men on their way
TO Washington. Their treatment Ia
Pittsburg, they say, was the shabbiest
that has been accorded them on the
whole trip.
