VICIOUS INSANITY LAW.
ITS c0WSTI7UTJ0TALITY RAISED IN
THE sLAlSDELL CASE.
ROsK1Ns, CASE CONCERNED.

Mrs. BIaisden's Insanity Case
Heard by the Supreme Court
Law of 1898, Which Must Gov
ern the Case, Severely Criti-
cised by Lawyers-May, How
ever, BE Constitutional.
1t will be remembered that the case
of Mrs. Blaisdell, recently dismissed by
the supreme court, was reopened upon
a showing by the appellant that law
OF 1898, under which the original pro-
ceedings were had, had been overlooked
bv the supreme court. The hearing
was had in the reopened case yesterday,
). l.. Pierce appearing for Mrs. Blais-
dell, and Z. Z. CorliSS for the state. +.
w. Zullman and Henry and l.. *. johns
were permitted to appear on behalf of
Hoskins as relator, as the disposition
of this case Will affect his case also
Mr.. Pierce raised the point of the con-
stitutionality of the law of 1893 on the
ground that it deprived the defendant
of her liberty without due pro"
cess of law. 1t is claimed that
there is no provision under the
law for a proper defense or trial before
any judicial officer. There is no pro-
vision under which witnesses may be
summoned and examined before any
Judge or appeal had. 1t provides for
commission in lunacy who make inquiry
and reach conclusion according to
their own sweet will. The judge OF pro-
bate cannot review; appeal cannot be
had; the only way the defendant can get
into court is upon q writ of habeaS cor
pus. \ lawyer not in the case was heard
to say that the law of 1898 was about as
vicious as it was possible to make law.
II it had been specially drawn for the
purpose of railroading persons into
lunatic aSylums it could not have been
better adapted TO that purpose, and still,
rs bad as it is, it may come within the
provisions of the constitution. AS
to that he could not say un-
til he had given the matter further
consideration. Attorney General Childs
was authorized TO file brief III support
of the law. and Judge Collins was as
signed TO write the opinion of the court
which will be handed down in the
course of a week. In relation to the
court overlooking the law of 1898. one of
the justices SAID to GLOBE reporter:
1.-The defendant appeared without at
torneY, and, in measure, was under
the protection OF the court. 1t was fair
to presume that those prosecuting her
would bring to the attention of the court
the law under which they wished TO
commit her to the asylum. They were
clearly wrong under the law of 1889;
they were right under the law as
amended i'll 1893. The court had had no
occasion to refer to this new law, and it
is not surprising that 1t escaped their
attention. Now the eOnstitutionality of
the new law is raised, and the decision
in the BlajSdell case will cover the Hos
kins case also"

NEW TURF CLUB.
Meeting Of Prominent Horsemen
in New York

Meeting Of Prominent Horsemen
in New York.
NEW YORK, Jan. IA conference
was held at the Offices OF the Coney
Island Jockey club today. 1t was ex-
pected that the representatives of the
Sheepshead Bay track would have given
a definite reply to the request of the
new turf club as to their intention of
joining the other local tracks which
have signified their willingness to aid
the new organization in the proposed
reformation Of turf tactics in the state
of New York and New Jersey. Messrs.
j. G. K. Lawrence, John q. Hecksher
and f. Gray Griswold were the repre-
sentstives of the ConeY Island Jockey
club; August Belmont, James Galway
and John Hunter re presenting the
board of control, while Col. w. P.
Thomson, Perry Belmont. James r.
Keene, DR.. q. L. Knapp and P. j.
DWyer. members of the proposed new
turf club, were the gent lemen who at
ended the meeting.
The meeting was held in private and
early this evening several of the gentle
men left the building. Each of them
denied in turn that anything of public
Importance had been transacted. Mr..
Galway said that it was only an infor-
NAL conference and nothing, absolutely
nothing, had been done.
MeSsrs. Hunter. Keene, Knapp and
DWyer remained i'll the room for fully
two hours after the others had left and
held an animated conversation. Loud
voices could he heard at times coming
from the room. but when the four adj
iourned they all said that nothing had
been done. When asked if the Coney
Island Jockey club had given any de-
cided reply to the request of the turf
club to join its ranks, MeSSrS. Keene and
Hunter said: IN day or two we eX-
pect to have a definite answer from
them. We don't know when another
meeting will take place. but there may
be one before the week is out"
?. j. Dwyer said to the representative
of the Associated Press: Il am going
to Florida tomorrow and expect to be
away for some mouths"
When pressed for some further infor-
nation MIR. Dwyer referred the news
& papersmenebaeEy to Mr.. Galway and Mr..
Hunter. 1t was rumored that Mr..
Dwyer has intrusted all of his racing
interests to McsSrs. Hunter, Deaue and
Knapp. aud it is believed that the extra
time consumed by the quartette was
taken up with the instructions which
the veteran horseman impaired to his
representatives.

BLOCKED THE GAME.
Eighth Ward Republicans by the
Ears Already.


Eighteen Republicans of the Eighth
ward attended the meeting called last
evening by j. F. Pearce. president of
the Eighth ward club. There seemed
to be some misunderstanding as to the
object OF the meeting. but the president
explained that it was simply all informal
affair. and he only notified those he
thought would attend. Michael Schorn.
an employe i'll the court house, and
Deputy Sheriffs McCarron and Relchow
called the president down for not ill.,
viting all the members of the club
to the meeting, and intimated that
there was a hidden motive In only
few members being invited to attend.
After deal of discussion, in which the
president denied any intention of
sighting the members, committee
consisting of M. Schorn, Gates A. john
son and James Howard were appointed
to hire hall for meeting to be held
within two weeks, at which the club
would be reorganiZed for the spring
| campaign.
One of the "kickers," after the meet
ing was over, said the intention was to
have those present indorse the candi-
dacy of w. j. Freaney for the position
of plumbing inspector III the building
inspectors office, but they had been put
on and blocked the game.

VESTIBULED CARS
Making Their appearance on the
Lines of ST. Paul.


Lines of ST. Paul.
The Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany yesterday placed four vestibuled
cars on the Seventh street line. This
number will be followed by two or
three more today, and the good work
kept up until all the 200 and odd cars
used IN the city are veStibuled as the
law requires.
Owing to the vestibules being only on
one end of the cars, the company is
obliged to put in Y's at the end of each
line. The vestibules, while not a de-
cided improvement in the looks of the
cars, make them much more comfort
able for the passengers, to say nothing
of the comfort of the motoneers. One
OF the motoneers on the Seventh street
line, who was lucky enough to get the
first of the vestlbuled cars. SAID last
evening that words could hardly eX-
press the difference in comfort between
standing out in the cold and attending
to his duties in one of the vestlbules.
Supt. HOSkins stated last evening that
two or three cars would be turned out
of the shop each day until all the lines
were fully equippel.

DENIES THE CHARGE.
Easy to See How the Idea Became
Current Talk.

Easy to See How the Idea Became
Current Talk.
The statement published several days
ago that William Ryan, one of the men
arrested on the charge of highway rob-
berry, has been acting as a ''stool pig
con" for amember of the detective force
is Indignantly denied by Ryan. The
rumor that Ryan was acting in that ca
pacity evidently grew out of the fact
that he nursed Special Detective Heeny
through fit of sickness. The fact that
the detective went on the stand at
the trial and testified that Ryan had
been with him on the night the robbery
occurred cleared Ryan of the charge
and also proved conclusively that he
was acting as nurse, and not as
pigeon" for Heeny. This correction
is made in justice to the character of
Mr.. Ryan, who claims he was greatly
damaged by the statement.

former SUIT for divorce was begun by
the wife in 1891 on the ground of cruel
treatment. That action was dismissed
upon trial. Herman Mueller went to
South, Dakota several times and lived
there for months at time. In January,
1898, he secured divorce in Bookings
county. South Dakota, but 1t is held
that the husband was never resident
of South Dakota as required by the
laws there relative to divorces. Her.
man having lived with Bertha Twordo-
kus as his wife, without having been
legally married, because not lawfully
divorced, he is held to have been guilty
of adultery, and therefore Louisa
Mueller is entitled to decree of di-
vorce.

BABY FARM
Discovered by the Lockport Min
isteriaI Association.

loCKPoRT, N. Y, Jan. 17.-As the
result of an investigation by two menu
bers of the Lockport ministerial associ-
alton, Rev. Messrs. t. t. Rowe and f.
G. Smith. baby farm has been eX-
posed in which dozen white children
were found, all but three being
illegitimate. The farm" is run by a
negress, Mrs. Ross, in tumble-down
shanty on the state road just inside the
city limits. Mrs. Ross acknowledges
that the children are fatherless and
that she is paid for their care. She says
she has been in the business of baby
farming eighteen years and in that
time has had 200 children in her care.
AS far as can be learned, none of her
adopted charges have died in the past
year, so that it is not likely she will be
arraigned on any crime.

Trades and Labor Assembly VIII
Soon Move In.
The trades assembly and the forty or
more labor organizations have fully de-
termined to change their headquarters.
The change will be made about Feb. l.
The new quarters will be at the corner
of Wabasna and Third streets. in the
old Warner building. The new quar-
tiers are fitting, and it is expected that
they will be ready for occupancy in a
few days. One of the chief reasons for
making the change is to secure more
room, and thus concentrate all the
unions which are now scattered to some
extent In the new quarters ample
room will be afforded to have club
rooms for some of the organizations
that want such. A number of apart
ments will be fitted up for such organi-
cations as desire their own quarters. A
reading room is another of the probable
tiles of the near future.

Chess Congress Of.

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Jan. 17.-The
continental chess congress, advertised
to open here Feb. 81. has been declared
off. The treasurer, who was the general
manager and promoter of the scheme, il
is claimed. has gotten the club here
into such position that nothing else
could be done than to drop it. 1t was
advertised that the money for the prizes
was already in hand, when it now turns
out that it is false. The only reason for
such deception appears to have been to
secure entrances. Elegant quarters had
already been secured for the congress.
