EZETA'S LAWYERS.
They Express Their Opinion of the


'"The action of the United States Govern
ment in OBTAINING Antonio EZeta on board
ofthe Bennington is most remarkable, in
asmuch as the general was held for two
months on the ship until such time as
the Gutierrez Government had time to es-
tablish itself"
/: In an interview last evening Horatio S.
Rubens, who with Gonzalo de Quesada. is
in this city to represent Ezeta in the courts,
so expressed himself.
Antonio was a representative of a
recognized Government when he applied
for asylum on the cruiser. As such he
asked permission to depart from the vessel,
but this request was refused. He was abb
soutely prisoner of the United States.
''On July MIR. de Qnesada and myself
called upon Secretary Gresham and asked
that Antonio be released, but the Score
tary saw fit to hold the refugees until the
new Government was duly recognized.
This happened on August 3. Then, as
matter OF course, they came within the
jurisdiction Of the new administration of
San Salvador.
''The fact of the refugees having asked
for asylum did not authorize the United
States holding them against their will.
They we're substantially kidnapped that
thew might be brought under the sway OF
United States law.
For four years the Ezeta ruled with
out protest or charge of crime by the
people. How can the accusations of muir
der, arson and EN- beZZlement have fouD-
dalton when in all those years no conf
plant of misconduct was heard?

mat the United States has with Central
American countries.
ANY Central American ruler may Dc

would the United States feel ooligea TO
surrender him TO his opponents? Ibis Is
an important question"
MI. de Quesada then said in answer TO
question regarding Ezeta being placed
ashore at Guatemala:
we asked Secretary Gresham II the
refugees could leave the steamer at any
port outside of San Salvador. He replied
mat tney could only be landed on oan oai-
vadOTan territory"
why does the United States hold that
vessel outsider" continued Mr.. Ru0ens.
because lt cannot show its autnOriVy LOT
no!alne the refugees. If we haa o TSaea
writ or habeas corpus Captain Inomas
could not show authority for holding
Ezeta and his comrades prisoners.
III the warrant is served, MI. huDens,
what step will then be taken by the de-
fense?"
I'VE will then try to prove that the
charges made in the complaint are not
true"
Mr. de Qusada then said that General
Gutierrez, the provisional President OF San
Salvador, has a personal grudge against
Antonio EZeta.
Antonio once struck Gutierrez in the
face and blood flowed. Since this en-
counter the latter has hated his assallant.
"All of the Central American rulers
feared the Ezetas, because they are war
like men and held off the scheme to CEN
tralize the. government OF the Central
Americas"
Mr. Rubens explained that had the San
Salvadoran Consul in this city been here
to act it would have required eight days to
secure writ.
The gentleman told of the complicated
laws governing the Issuing of warrant,
ana said that complaint might have been
sworn out here on Geographic formation
had the San Salvadoran Consul been here
to attend to the matter.
His absence has helped Antonto's case
considerably.

charter any tugs to try to intercept the

HELEN PURCELL to the author,
who, while inheriting great genius,
was modest to a fault. He would
send his productions to remote Pc
riodicals without signature and few,
if any, knew the author. Miss Pur-
cell has pursued the same course
until recently, when one of her
admirers discovered her methods
and changed her plans. She is a
ready talker, with a good vocabu-
larry, an easy delivery and a fasci-
mating manner. Miss Pursell is
about 10 years of age and gradual
ed but two years since. Governor
Mckinley, who is friend of the
family, was present at her gradu-
alton and delivered the class ora.
ton. Her address on that occasion
was highly commended by the
Governor. Miss Pursell has writ
ten great deal for her fathers
paper, the Republican Gazette
of Logan, Ohio, but lately has been
sending her productions where
they were more widely appreciat-
ed and better remunerated. The
story of the hidden treasure, which
appeared in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat recently, was copied in
the Enquirer in the issue of Mon
day, December 8 last, was a pro-
duct of the pen of Miss Pursell.
The young lady is versatile in
her work and confines herself to no
particular line. She writes essays
for scientific periodicals, fiction for
magazines and politics for her fa-
theirs journal. In her practical
work she compa sses the whole field
of fancy.

THE EARNHART LAW.
A Great Legal Battle Over the Consti.
tuti0nality of This Famous
Legislation.

From the Ohio State Journal.
She greatest part of Saturday was
spent by Judge Pugh in listening
to arguments on the demurrer filed
against the petition enjoining the
Columbus, Hooking Valley and
Athens Railroad company from oc.
cupying the abandoned bed of the
Hooking canal from Carol to Nell
sonville. A number of suits have
been brought questioning the con-
stitutionality of the Earnhart Law,
by which the canal was leased, and
the case of Thos. Shotwell against
the new railroad company was the
one chosen to make the test for all.
Shotwell had the contract for street
sprinkling at Logan and had con-
tract with the Board of Public
works under which he paid the
state $40 per year for the water
used to lay the dust. He raised the
question that the legislature could
not pass law abrogating con.
tract made by its agents. The de.
fendant demurred to this and the
constitutionality Of the law fairly
met.
Hon. D. L. Sleeper opened the ar.
gument on behalf of the railroad
company and was followed by Hon
d. j. Ryan and Ex-Governor For.
aker for the plaintiff. General
Grosvenor continued the argument
for the railroad company and Hon
Thomas e. Powell for the plaintiff
Hon. Levi j. Burgess closed the ar.
gument for the defense. Hon. r
A. Harrison was to have assisted in
the argument for the plaintiff, but
being absent in Cincinnati, was
granted leave 10 file brief. A de.
cision can hardly be expected fol
several weeks.
