business in that quarter before admins

:, The wind ragged furicusly without;
the thunder rolled, and lurid lightning

the loathsome task before her.

convict the men upon the charge Of
vagrancy. Mr.. Hudson plead the non
jurisdiction Of the court, as they had
been arrested outside the city limits.
The prosecution dwelt upon the "dsrk
feature of the organization Of the men"
IL looked suspicious that these men
should have rules Of agreement and
should have q captain. Captain Prim-
rose was not Of the old order OF the
captains Of industry" and the judge
couldn't understand him. The Goulds
and Vanderbilts and other captains had
gotten other men to work for them. This
new-fashioned captain, who worked with
his own hands and travelled in the box
car with the men Of his company, was
mystery and q terror to the court. 1t
went hard with the court to dismiss the
case. The Judge strove to exact Of the
men promise to move on, to get out Of
his way into some other judges way, but
Mr.. Hudson stood for the right Of these
men to go free and untrsmmeled unless
they should commit some crime, or Of
tense, or become public charge.
And SO, thanks to Kansas and the ls'
Dor unions, the plot failed and the men
were acquitted, and such another hand
shaking and scene Of Congratulstion
there never was before in that police
court. More than thousand men had
congregsted on the street to see them
come forth from the trap.
Dear, warm-heRrted Belvs Lockwood
said to me, "The poor souls ara hungry,
let US give them lunch" and we did.
The president Of the Typographical
union of the city did me the honor to
ask me to extend from the union an in
vitstion to the men to sleep In the rooms
of their building and to be their guests
at meals for one week, while they were
looking for work.
And thus, thank God, the first victory
for the army Of the unemployed was
won. Won, in the face of sll the odds
and all the powers that be Rrrsyed
against and determined to destroy the
cooperation and the banding together of
the laborers. And l believe this first
victory is typical Of other and larger VIC
tories to be won in this contest for the
right and for the chance to work.
The need Of needs just now is Of cool,
calm counsel; the time for agitation
ia gone by. The situation itself is hard
enough to bear without inAsmstory re-
hssrsel Of past injustice. Had Mr.. Hud-
son been less discreet, less mild and
susve, less temperate, calm, yet firm, he
would have lost the case and the pent up
indignation over the arrest might have
been disastrous. Similar discretion must
characterize the larger situation, and
then, by large united effort, q peaceful,
legal victory will be possible.
Beside the great events which thun-
der outside the capitol building, the puny
little show that is going on inside seems
80 tame and unimportsnt that can
scarcely get up interest enough to write
of it. Senator Hill talked about the
tariff yesterday. 1t didn't matter what
he said. It doesn't matter what anyone
there will say, those chumps in congress
will keep on talking about protection to

had admitted.
"IH these men do remain here" said
the Judge, sis it not reasonable to con-
Cluds that they will bs chargeable to
the District, in view OF the mass OF un.

are honestly without employment the
District is responsible for them, but it
might be different with people coming
here from outside"
representative Hudson claimed that
as they were out Of employment as q re-
suit Of public condition, they could not
be held responsible for ther ''lack Of
means"
Prosecutor Pugh admitted that the
men came with the object Of getting
work, but declared that they would be-
come chargeable to the District. He
said IL the men would agree to leave the
city at once Il case need 90 no further.
Counsel for the defense argued that the
forty-one men had nothing to do with
CoXey's commonweal.
They suggested that the personal
bonds OF the men be taken to leave
within @ week. "Who'll provide for
themH" asked the prosecutor, and at this
juncture President Shields, of the local
Typographical union, pledged himself
to provide sleeping quarters for the
week.
The court interrupted "Th0 men who
compose the Coxey commonwsal are evi.
IDENTIFY tramps. IL 80 we will send them
to the workhouse az soon ss they come.'
The first witness for the defense placed
on the stand was Wylis Arnheim, of ST.
Louis. He testified that he was "a years
Of age, employed as q coschmsn and
gardner, belonged to the Presbyterian
church, and was temperance sdherent.
When questioned about taking posses
sion Of train, he said he did not board
the box car on which the party rode
until it had been given over to the
others. Begging was not, he claimed,
the object Of the trip.
Captain Primrose was then called to
the stand. He is q small-sizsd man,
with black hair, black eyes, and sandy
mustachs. He wore q black flannel
shirt, carried q felt hat in his hand, and
his clothes were badly frsyed. His tes-
timony consisted Of minute details OF
the journey Of the party to Washington.
During the whole trip, he said, there
had been no disorderly scenes, and not
one Of his men had been srrested while
on the way until the bunch were taken
in lexington. Most OF ttem were paint
ers, carpenters and machinists. ,
When the leader concluded his testi-
mony, which was given In q clear, earn
est manner, Judge Kimball rendered his
decision, releasing the men from custody
on condition that they obtain work, or
failing in this within reasonable time,
leave the city.

StraGlnR how the local authorities will
deal with Coxey, were arraigned before
Judge Kimball yesterday morning, and,
after reciting their story, were dis
charged.
The men made q motley group as they
were srrsigned, and leaned against the
wire partition watching the proceedings.
Labor men Of the city had interested
themselves in the men and saw that they
had competent counsel.
The men moved uneasily during the
trial. One man in the group was con-
spicuous. He was young, wore a collar,
was neat in appearance, hair well
combed, clothes clean and orderly ar
ranged, all distinguishing charaCteristics
in the crowd in which he stood.
Representative Hudson, OF Kansas,
and Attorneys A. A. LipSComb and
George X. French appeared for the de-
fense, and Assistant District Attorney
Pugh for the prosecution. By consent,
the cases OF Captain Primrose and Wylie
Arnheim, Of st. Louis, were made test
cases. The action against Captain
Primrose for bringing q disorderly as
ssmblage into Washington was noIEe
pressed on the point being made that the
arrests occurred in lexington, q city
suburb.
The srresting squad Of police then
testified to the arrests and the appear
ance Of the men. A paper bearing the
heading, Association Of Unemployed
Workingmsp," and signed by Captain
Primrose, giving rules and regulations Of
the organization, was offered in evidence,
bat was objected to by Mr.. Hudson. The
police testified that in response to quer-
les, the men had said to them that they
had left San Antonio, Texas, eighty-tour
strong. The number was lssssned dur
ing the line Of march owing to desertionS
made to accept employment offered.
Detective Hutchinson, Of the BRlti-
more & Ohio railroad detective corps,
testified that the men changed trains at
Brunswick, Nd. From Grafton to
Brunswick he had followed the men
whom he had described as trough and
dirty" on a passenger train. According
to the testimony Of the police, the search
of the crowd resulted in finding watch,
rs cents, and several light articles.
Attorney Lipscomb argued that the
men were orderly, came to Washington
to get work, carried not a bottle OF
liquor among them, and carried their
own provisions. When they associated
with dissolute persons, became obscene
or profsne, and were found in hsunts of
the city, he argued, they could be taken
up.
'"They are not trsmpp," he said. at
would be cruel to require bonds Of them.
Many were dazed with the idea that this
city would do something for them, ex-
pected help from congress, which, as q
matter of fact, does much to make
trsmps Of them."
Congressman Hudson followed. He
pictured the crowd as intelligent, and
declared that with the stslwart officers
who compose the police force there need
be no fear of the men overrunning the
city.

HUNGRY LIONS.
Three Savage Beasts Kill Four Head of

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 11.-Three big. hun.
cry lions escaped tonight from Sells &
Rentfrow's winter quarters, in the heart
Of Topeka, and during the time they were
at large, terrorized the community as only
three hungry, savage lions can. The
elephants got to "scrapping" among them
selves, which made the lions nervous.
Three OF the lions were in one cage aud a
large one named Nero WAS in another cage
near by. The thres became engaged in A
pitched battle, which ended in all of them
gaining liberty. Their keeper, who was
alone and not prepared for such an
emergency, ran out OF the building, leav-
ing the door open, to the rear of the build
Ing, and the three lions were out in a
moment.
There were four head of fine cattle be-
longing to Colonel Sells in this lot, aud
they soon became the prey OF the lions.
which, probably, was all that saved Keeper
Briggs life. 1t beiug late at night, Colonel
Sells was notified, but by the time he
arrived the lions had killed the cattle and
