CoSey and His Lioutenants Brought BoV
foro the Bar.

fore the Bar.
WASHINGTON, May 5.--Jacob s. Coxey
and his lieutenants, Carl Browne and
Christopher Columbus Jones, were star
attractions in the district police court
where they were arraigned for viola
tion of the capitol-grounds act on
May O. The courtroom was filed
with spectators, populist members of
congress constituting a notable part of
the assemblage. Attorneys Hymann
and Lipscomb appeared for the defend
ants in the preliminary proceedings
and raised the issue of constitutionality
of the law under which their clients
were arrested.
The point was argued at considera BILE
length by Senator Allen, of Nebraska.
Congress-, he said, had no power to cons
fer upon the vice president and the
speaker of the house the right to sus-
pend the enforcement of the act, any
more than it had the right to confer
the power upon the czar of all the Rus
sias. He denounced the courts for
assuming legislative functions. This
case, the senator declared, would
assume national Importance.
\ He quoted magma charta and
American revolutionary history and
declared that the arrest of the
defendants implied a denial of the
rights of peaceable assemblage and
petition. Those rights were implied in
the constitution as regarded every
spot in the District of Columbia just
as much as in California, Texas or
Florida.
Judge Miller, after the arguments
closed, overruled the objections OF
counsel for the defense to the informa,
ton, the judge holding that the capitol
grounds act was constitutional He
denied Coxey a special trial.
The court reassem bled at 1:30 o'clock,
and after some delay jury was select
ed and sworn. Assistant District At
torney Mullowney then addressed the
jury, explaining the charges against
Coxey, Browne and Jones, and the law
applicable to the charges.
Maj. Moore, the chief of police, in his
testimony repeated the conversation
eral asserted his intention of carrying
out the programme of speaking from
the capitol steps. Mr.. Lipscomb es-
! deavored to show by the major that the
capitol grounds had often been used for
. similar purposes, but was overrulea.
DEs MONIES, Ia, May $50 far as
can be learned nothing more definite
has BEEN accomplished in the direction
of getting transportation for Kelly's
army. All sorts of rumors were afloat,
, but none of them could be confirmed
when run down. 1t is known, however,
! that the governor has been negotiat-
ing with one road and an
/ other, but so far has failed, and de-
clines to say just what the situation is.
The general impression prevails that
the army may be started over the Des
! Moines 81 Kansas City road this morn

Whether to ADpeal.

Whether the counsel Of Mr.. Boyd viii
take an appeal from the decision of the
Circuit Court in the sheriffalty contest of
White VS.. Boyd rendered in favor of Mr..
White. depends upon the result of an
examination of the tickets csnvassed
by the court upon which its decision was
made. On Thursday an order was ob
tanned from the court authorizing the
opening Of the ballot boxes to allow an
examination of the ballots in question
172 in number including the 81 tickets
rejected By the Fifth District Election
Judges and which examination will be
made in the presence of the counsel on
both sides, and Clerk of the Court James
L. Graham.
The examination will probably take
place today, and Mr.. Whites counsel
are very confident that it will disclose nc
evidence sufficient to justify an appeal,
but on the other hand further establish
the correctness of the Courts decision.
