ened TO have the marshal consigned to the
dock. There was an audience gathered
which filled the court room and included
most of the Populist leaders as well as
other members of congress.
Senator Allen, while disclaiming sympa-
thy with what he called the visionary ideas
oil CoXey, made strong plea for the con-
stituticnai rights of citizens to pcaceably
assemble and petition congress Judge
Miller refused Il separate trial for Coxey,
so tie three defendants are in one boat.
The plea OF right of peaceable assem-

fought over, and if CoXey is as good rs his
reported word he will take the mutter to
the supreme court to find whether there is
a piece of public property in the country
that can be shut to a popular assemblage.
ihe trial Is continuing today.

BARGE FILLED WITH 0FFAL.
Found Anchored Fifty Feet from
East Eorty-third street.

President Wilson. OF the Board OF
Health. acknowledged to-day that a
great nuisance had existed on the east
side for the past month, and that II
had only to-day been suppressed.
Last Saturday a complaint was made
to the Board that doors OF n most dis
agreeable nature came from the river at
East Forty-thlrd street. and they were
asked to make an investigation.
An Inspector found that, anchored
fifty feet from shore, was n. closed
barge, and that not less than I25 tons
Of offal from the nearby slaughter
houses was slowed away under the
matches.
The inspector learned that the barge
had been there for something more than
a week, and before that there had
been another barge of the same kind
there.
Yesterday President Wilson went to
the spot to make personal investlga-
ton. He found that the barge be-
longcd to the New England Melting
and Milling Company. OF New Bedford,
Mass, and that II was used MS a
storing place for the slaughter-ho house
o'fal. The barge was to remain there,
as the others had done before II, until
it was tlled when 1t was to be towed
To New bedford, Mass.
The only place In the city where offal
city is at the dock foot of West Thir-
tieth street There 1t is removed every
day. The Board OF Health contem-
plates seine action against the New
Bedford concern. but has not yet in
Yestigated the matter thoroughly.
