BOWLER AND THE BOUNTY.
The Case OF the Sugar Men OF Ne
braska Now Being Argued.

Washington. Aug. THE extraordinary
argument which began IN the office Of
the controller Of the treasury to-day was
brought about by Controller Bowler's re-
fusal TO issue a warrant for about 800
in favor Of the Oxnard Sugar Company Of
Nebraska. certified 10 the auditor by the
commissioner OF internal revenue and
by the auditor sent 10 the controller for
ms action Mr.. Bowler was in doubt,
upon looking into the case OF the con-
stltuticnality OF the appropriation to pay
bounty for the crop of 1894. contained In the
new tariff law. inasmuch as the court of
appeals OF the District Of Columbia had de-
clded that the bOunties themselves were
unconstitutional and ne notified claimants
that until he was satisfied Of the pro-
priety and legality Of the law he would
decline TO issue warrants. and to-day was
fixed for hearing argument on the cues
ton. This determination of the controller
interested the cane sugar men of Louis
iana far more than those Of Nebraska.
as they have millions at stake 10 a
quarter of million by the Nebraskans.
so Senators Caffrey and Blanchard and
Judge Simms Of Louisiana Joined ex-Sen-
ator Henderson of Nebraska in the effort
TO satisfy the controller that the proper
thing to do was TO issue warrants. They
Jailed 10 induce either Secretary Carlisle
or President Cleveland, to interfere in be-
half of their clients. both those Off
Gals asserting that the controller
was supreme in his sphere and beyond any
influence or direction from them.
Among those present in the stuffy lit
tie Office of the controller were the gen.
tlemen who were to take part in the argJ-
ment, Representatives Meyer and Price of
Louisiana, several department officials
and outside attorneys, two Louisiana sug-
ar planters and representatives of the
press. Senator Henderson was the last
of the interested parties to reach the room,
and as he entered Controller Bowler said
that he was ready TO hear whatever those
interested had to present.
Senator Henderson. in opening the case
for the sugar men, said that he APP
preached the matter in question with
great degree of reluctance. The question
involved momentous interests. interests of
great promise in the state of Nebraska.
He was satisfied that the matter would
have fair hearing by Mr.. Bowler, and
trusting implicitly in him, he did not de-
spond the final outcome. No case had
ever been presented to any tribunal hav-
ing more equity. He reviewed the history
of legislation regarding the bounty and re-
ferring to the Mckinley law said that,
under it, the government solemly pledged
that if the people would embark in the in
dustry of sugar producing, If they would
invest their capital in it, they would be
paid a bounty. The OXnard Company,
for whom he specially appeared. en-
barl1ed, after careful study and in good
faith. Did they have a right to rely upon
this legislation approved by the Pres-
dent? If not, what could they rely upon2
The company had lost money, which he
did not believe would have been the case
had the Mckinley law been kept upon the
statute books.

DURANT'S JURY.
Fourteen Men TO Sit Under CaIifor-
MAS New LAW.

MAS New Law.
San Francisco Aug. 7.-Fourteen Jurors
will be empaneled TO try Theodore Durant.
The idea for having fourteen jurymen
comes from an act passed by the legis-
lature at its last session providing for
alternative jurors in cases that are likely
to be protracted. AS soon as the regular
twelve jurors are impaneled District Attor-
ney Barnes will request Judge Murphy to
allow the impaneling of two alternates.
The matter has been all arranged, and
during the trial fourteen men will sit in
the jury box. The alternate jurors are
what may be termed emergency men.
They may have the privileges of regular
jurymen, with the exception of casting a
vote or celebrating upon the verdict.
Their presence is simply a provision
against possible delay in a case which
might be caused by the sickness or death
of a juror This will be the first time the
new law has been taken advantage of.
Just after the opening of court in the
Durant case this morning District At
tOrney Barnes and Mr.. Dickinson, attorn-
eys for the defense, held a consultation
with Judge Murphy, after which Mr.
Barnes asked for an adjournment of the
y
CURED In the request. Mr.. Barnes said
that certain circumstances had arisen
which made 1t necessary for an adjourn
ment Judge Murphy said he was op-
posed to delay, but he thought an adjourn
ment was proper in view of what had
been communicated to him. 1t is said an
attempt will be made to further delay the
proceedings.
Various sensational reports are in cir
culation, but nothing definite can be
learned. In connection with these re-
marks it is significant that Walter S.
Brown, one of the jurors, arose during
the proceedings and asked to make a
statement. The court declined to hear
him until a more suitable time and an
adjournment was taken until tomorrow
morning. 1t was intimated that with
drawal Of the Brown panel has been re-
quested both by the prosecution and the
defense.
At the close, the fact developed that Gen.
Dickinson was responsible for the SEN
sational proceedings of the morning. 1t
seems he had noted that the Examiner
contained an interview with Walter S.
Brown and Charles p. Nathan, jurymen,
on matters touching their qualifications
to serve in the case.
On arriving at the city hall, he held an
interview with Judge Murphy, complain
ed of the freedom being taken by reporters
with jurymen and held that the offending
reporters were guilty of contempt in hav
ing made bold TO inquire of the Jurors
relative to previous trials which they had
been connected. To-day's recess was taken
in order to give time for an Investigation
in to the matter.

Its proposed terminus is some distance
