What is known as the Dixon-Hartman
bill for TIE classification Of the mineral
lands embraced within the railroad grants
passed the house Tuesday with but little
opposition. Representative Hartman
briefly explained its purposes and de-

clinches and gives practical value to the

vast importance to Montana. 1t will pass

Northern Montana Wool Clip.

A Great Falls dispatch says that 2,600,
900 pounds Of wool had been received up
to last Saturday at that point for ship
ment east. 1t is estimated that this years
shipments from that point will reach a
figure between 100000 and 100000
pounds, or about twice the present re-
ceipts. Last years clip shipped from
there amounted toabout 3,250O00 pounds,
SO that the present season is gratifying in
that it shows an increase Of almost 100
per cent. in the wool shipments. The
sheepmen themselves are far better salts
lied than last season with the prices paid.
Last year they received very nearly the
same amount, but in most cases it was
upon consignment with a possible, and
in many cases actual. drawback of cent
per pound later This year they are sell
ing outright for cash at prices ranging
between 8 and II cents.

Attorney Erwin's Roast.

CHICAGO, July 25.---In the A. r. Z. con
tempt cases today, Judge Woods deliv-
cred brief opinion, formally overruling
the motion of the defense to quash the
informations. Judge Crosscup announced
he would take no part in the contempt
proceedings, as the defendants are under
indictments in the United States district
court, over which he presides, and the
same questions Of law will be raised
under the Indictments.
Attorney WV. Erwin, attorney for the
A. r. Y. officers, violently assailed the
government officers and indirectly the
court. Judge Woods showed suppressed
excitement by the trembling of his hands
Erwin asserted that in case justice fails
the power Of the people back Of the gov
ernnent reverts to the people. His tall
frame quivered with excitement, and his
voice almost rose to a shrek. Erwin de-
clared the roads were entering into
conspiracy to sustain the Pullman com
pany in the fight with their employees.
The supreme court must decide, he said,
whether the men were not justified in
resisting such a conspiracy when courts
were siltut IeSdfulilS IT, IlN GlltSllOn

have delegated all their powers to COM

BY order Of the court the bail of the
four prisoners was reduced from $4,000
to $1,000 each today. District Attorney
Milchrist announced that Special Coun-
sci Edwin Walker was i'll, and suggested
that the hearing be postponed until
Walker was able to take charge OF it.
The court continued the case until Sep
tember.
Debs, Howatd Kcliher and Rogers,
after lengthy conference with their at
torneys, decided this afternoon to give
bail Since their commitment to Jail the
prisoners have refused numerous offers,
but because of the continuance of the
hearing until September they decided to
change their tactics. William Skakcll
and William Fitzgerald appeared as
bondsmen and the four men were re-
leased.

IN CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS.

The Case viii be Taken to the Supreme
Court and to Congress if Necessary-At-
torney Erwin Roasts the Corporation
Conspirators Quite Vigorously.
CHICAGO, July 23.-Whut is considered
by labor leaders one Of the most impor
tant legal battles in the nations history
was begun in the United States circuit
court today when President Debs, Vice
President Howard, Secretary Keliher and
Director Rogers of the A. R. o., by their
attorneys, w. w. Erwin, S. S. Gregory
and G. S. Darrow, filed their answer to
the contempt rule. The defense proposes
to carry the case to the supreme court in
the event Of an adverse decision here
and if defeated will appeal to congress.
1t will be contended that what the court
has done amounts to a usnrpation of
power. The defense will follow closely
the lines of the report of the Boatner
committee of congress which investi-
gated Judge jenkins. If the supreme
court declares the injunction and con-
tempt method good law, congress will be
asked, the local labor leaders say, to
amend the statutes and curb the power
Of the courts, and every candidate for
congress will be asked to pledge himself
for such reform.

had better be revised. Troops called
