ALMOST A NATIONAL AFFAIR.
Granite for the Kansas City Public
BuiIding-Georgia or other.

WASHINGTON, H. G.. February 4
The award OF the contract for the Kan
sas City MOI public building is becom-
ing almost n national question. The low
est bidder specified Georgia granite
as the material out Of which he would
construct the building. The Kansas city
people objected to this material, and
other contractors. whose bids were higher.
Joined I'm the protest. In this they have
the support OF the Missouri Senator's and
Represntativ :.
On the other hand. the Georgia congress
sional delegation have come to the sup
port Of the Georgia granite and repel
with warmth the charge that Georgia
granite is In any respect inferior to any
other granite. In fact they say that be-
cause IL can be quarried cheaper on ac-
count Of the way II lies IN the mountain
side. II bids fair to become a successful
rival Of all other granite. and for that
reason alone all other granite-quarry
owners have combined against IL.
An expert from the Architects office
has made "A report on the wearing quality
OF the several kinds Of granite submitted.
but the conclusions Of this report have
not been announced. Il was intended to
have settled this contest last week but
Governor Atkinson. OF Georgia, has now
taken hand He asked for verbal
hearing, but Secretary Carlisle tele-
graphed him that lie could not grant IL

In moving the adoption or the fore
going Alderman Walsh said that the
companies had violated their franchises
and the State law. They had heaped
abuses upon the heads OF their employees.
and imposed upon them outrageous hours
OF labor. The companies employees have
rights that must be respected. IL was
now time TO give the poor laborer
chance. The Board OF Aldermen. he said,
had the right TO say whether or not a
corporation could operate ears In the city
Of Brooklyn that were menace To It's
populace, and he hoped the Board would
exercise that right. For two or three
weeks the destiny OF the city had been
in the hands OF three men, and they had
brought disgrace TO the fair name OF
Brooklyn.
Speaking OF the proceedings Instituted
I'm Albany to revoke th- charter OF Presi-
dent Lewis's road. Mr.. Walsh said that
they In no way interfered with the pro-
posed action Of the Board OF AID rmen.
III the State courts should revoke the
charter. by virtue OF the city's franchises
and licenses the companies would stiii
have uOssession of the highways IN the
city. The State proceedings did not cover
the ground he declared, so II was be,ter
for brooklyn to attend TO It's own a1airs'
The Alderman concluded by expressing
the hone that the Board would pass the
resolution and put an end to the despotc
power exercised by the railroads in the
city for the past three weeks.
FOR THE COMPANIES.
There are 2O.OOO unemployed non-union
men in the city. said Mr.. Carrie. ana ne
thought II would be more hitting Tor the
board to try to help them than to legls-
late for a lawless few thousand. The
companies had honestly tried to operate
their cars, but were prevented by the
violence Of union men.
The remarks OF Mr. Carrie were greet
"a with rounds OF Kisses from the rear
benches.
Several other aldermen expressed the
oDinion that il was only buncombe TO
adopt the resolution. inasmuch as II was
unconstitutional. and would not help the
strikers. and was more likely to do harm
than good The board. they declared, had
no more right TO deprive these compa-
| nles Of the right 10 operate their cara
| than they had the power 10 issue edict'
for the union. They might just as well
try 10 tear down the stars as to stop
| the operation Of the trolley lines by th-
revocation Of franchises.
1t was finally suggested that there wa,
| no harm i'm passing the resolution, anu
| If necessary. let the courts decide the
right Of the Board Of Aldermen In the

adopted by a vote Of 10 to s. II Is ex-
pected that the Mayor will veto the mea'

CHAPMAN AND sHRIvER.
The RccaIcitrant Sugar Witnesses
VIII Have to stand Trial.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., February -
Chies-Justlce Fuller announced the opin-
ion and judgment OF the United States
Supreme Court upon the applications OF
Elverton r. Chapman. broker, and john
S. Shriver. correspondent OF the Man
and Express, for leave 10 file petitions
for wrlts of habeas corpus.
The cases grew out OF the Investigation
OF the alleged sugar scandal by a spe-
cial committee OF the Senate. whose ques>
tons Chapman and Shriver refused TO
answer. They were indicted IN the Su>
preme Court Of the District of Columbia.
and demurred 10 the Indictment. The
document was sustained by the Supreme
Court, and also by the Court OF Appeals
OF the District. whereupon these defend
ants surrendered themselves 10 the cus>
tody OF the District, and applied 20 the
Supreme Court Of the United States foi
relief. urging the unconstitutionality OF
the statute under which the indictments
against them were found.
After reviewing the circumstances OF
the case. the chief Justice stated that
the general rule governing the issue of
writs of habeas corpus was that the>
could not be made to take the place Of
writs Of error. and were issued only In
cases where the court imposing imprison'
ment was without jurisdiction The Pc
tltiouers. the Chief Justice said. must
prosecute their case to final judgment In
the Court Of Appeals, and when that has
been done. If 1t be adverse to them, their
remedy lies I'm a writ OF error.
The Supreme Court of the United States
| deemed II salutary. said the Chief Jus
| tice. not 10 interfere with the action OF
tt,. ~ ba in
final determination. and found no ex
/ ceptional circumstances in these cases e
warrant n departure from that rule. The
| application for leave 10 file the petitions
/ for writs was, therefore denied.
II WAS announced that Mr.. Justice Field
| dssentcd from the decision.
The effect OF the decision Is TO require
! Messrs Chapman and Shriver 10 stand
! trial on the indictments. The question

States Circuit Court this morning Judge
Grosscup removed Joseph Greenhut from

who was appointed a receiver when Mr.

He also felt II due to himself TO declare
that the action Of the Court In the hrsl

The opinion OF the Court is quite long

finds that both sides admit that re-

ton Is merely as TO the personnel OF tins
