Arraigned Before Commissioner
Shields for Criminal Libel. :
HEARING In new YORK this MORNING
The Case to Come Up Before
Judge Brown April 2.
LEGAL POINTS INVOLVED

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The libel case
against Charles A. Dana of the New York
Sun, which was brought at the instance Of
Frank B. Noyes of The Washington Star
for criminal libel, drew a big crowd Of
newspaper men and lawyers to Commis-
sioner Shields room. Mr.. Dana was rep
resented by Lawyers Elihu Root and
Franklin Bartlett, and United States Dis
trict Attorney Macfarlane appeared for
the people.
The question at issue was whether the
courts of the District of Columbia had the
right of demanding Mr.. Dana's removal
from this city to Washington, and Lawyer
Root strenuously asserted that the WASH
ington courts had not the power.
He insisted that if a crime were COM
mitted by the publication of any statement
in this city the case should be tried in
New York city, and that there was no
power invested in the District courts Of
Washington to try such case.
Mr.. Dana arrived shortly after IL o'clock,
and lis son Paul came in a few minutes
later.
United States District Attorney Macfar-
lane presented a certified copy of the pa
pers, which contain three counts of a
criminal libel
Lawyer Root objected to the papers being
put in evidence, on the ground that they
the statements contained in them were in
competent and irrelevant.
Louis A. Kennedy, who is a clerk in the
marshals office. was the first witness call
ed, and was questioned as to the identity
of Mr.. Dana.
Thomas Hitchcock was next examined.
and Paul Dana was the only other witness.
The lawyers for the defense raised a point
as to whether Mr.. Dana had anything to
do with the publication or circulation of
the New York Sun, and whether he could
be held responsible for anything that was
published in that paper on February % Of
this year
Lawyer Roots objections were invariably
overruled by Commissioner Shields.
Mr.. Hitchcock said that Mr. Dana had
nothing to do with the business manage
ment of the Sun newspaper.
Mr.. Root said that he was advised that
Mr. Noyes was a citizen of the state of
Maryland. which fact he contended should
be considered by the commissioner in max
ing any ruling based upon the criminal in
d;ctment returned by the United States
court of the District of Columbia.
Commissioner Shields ruled without fur
ther argument that an order Of commit
ment should issue for Mr.. Dana to appear
hefere Judge Brown of the United states
district court, and paroled the defendant
in the custody of his lawyers.
United States District Attorney Macfar-
lane at once went before Judge Brown
with the order from the commissioner, and
the court announced that he would hear the
argument upon the motion for a warrant Of
removal for the defendant to the city OF
Washington on April 2.

NEW YORK, March 1S-At the meeting

tion of his translation of the Bible into

pre. and was made bishop of Shanghai in

logical seminary went to England at the
instance. of the board of missions, and
brought the attention Of the archbishop of
English Church to the work Bishop Schere-
schewsky had in hand. The archbishop be-
came interested in the subject and ap-
pointed the Rev. DIR. I,egge Of oxford Uni
versity and Prof. Douglas of Kings Col

The National Bank of Kansas City
Forced to Suspend.
KANSAS CITY, No., March 1S.-The Ma
tional Bank of Kansas City failed to open
its doors this morning. The direct cause
of the failure was the unfavorable state
ment of the banks affairs given out
March s. In the panic of 1893 the bank
suspended, but through an arrangement
between depositors and the stockholders
1t was permitted to resume business. The
steady withdrawal of deposits since that
time has placed the bank in an embarrass-
ing position and necess:tated another sus-
pension. The statement given out is not
complete. 1t shows assets of 81 ,SOOOOO liza
bilities. $l,OJO,OOO.
The Star this afternoon will say editorial
~ that none of the other banks of the
city will in any way be affected, being in
splendid condition.
The controller of the currency today
received telegram announcing the sus-
persion of the National Bank of Kansas
City. Bank Examiner G. w. Galbreath

ceiver.

the Union Pacific matter. that the govern
ment will not appear in the foreclosure
suit brought by the trustees for the first

not be made a party defendant to the suit,
and no order of the court can operate pref
udicially to its interests.
The Chicago Records special from Omaha

Olney said that no conclusion such as
stated had been reached as yet but he
could neither affirm nor deny 1t, as 1t might

The Singular Death of Edward Biz
card of Cedarville, n. j.

BRIDGETON, N. J., March 1s-Edward
Blizzard of Cedarville hired horse and
buggy last night and drove to Port Norris.
Early this morning he was found standing
a corpse in the Maurice river, near Port
Norris. One foot was resting on the hub
of the wheel, one hand on the tire and
bank. 1t is thought he accidentally drove
into the river in the night and got fast in
the mud, and that the excitement brought
on heart trouble, with which he was af-
flicted. The horse had to be pulled out of
the mud with ropes.

was sent to Honolulu by Chairman Nc
Creary of the foreign affairs committee of
the House to make an investigation of re-
cent events on the islands, has returned to
Butte. He says he made an investigation
of affairs in Hawaii even to events as far
remote as the overthrow Of the queen, and
the entire tenor CT his remarks Is in praise
of President Dole and his government. He
found the annexation sentiment growing
among the natives and haf-breeds, who
recognized the hopelessness Of the cause of
royalty and believed annexation would give
Hawaiian sugar free entry into the United
States and would therefore boom the is
lands.
tempted revolution has strengthened the
provisional government greatly and that
the government is very conservative in
the treatment of revolutionists and not at
all vindictive toward the supporters of the
queen. The stories of torture, he says,
We're unfounded entirely, and no one was
forced to leave the country, but many
were given the option of standing court
martial or leaving the islands until such
time as they would be given permission
to return. He also found that the men
who claimed the protection of the United
States had a fair hearing and will re-
ceive fair treatment. Martial law will be
removed within a month or six weeks, and
the queens sentence remitted. The legisla-
ture will be convened in the spring, and
a general election called for the election Of
a president.
Judge Dixon thinks annexation is inevf-

are opposed to 1t are the English residents
of the islands.
