And now comes the letter to the

Slattery, of San Jose, Cal, and tells
singular story. Slattery says that
he recently picked up by chance in a
doctors office a copy of the Itch
field Leader containing the story of
the finding of the skeletons on Bar
lows farm. He. at once recalled that
tWenty-four years ago he worked in
the same gang of laborers with Big
Nike and his nephew Ryan, was well
acquainted with both and also knew
the man who killed them. This latter,
he said. was one Pat" alias Fatty
Houlihan, also a railroad laborer and
a member of the squad. The murder
was the outcome of a drunken row
In 1889, Slattery writes, he met 1ouii-
han on a railroad il Oregon. Houll-

a smash up and recognized that death
was near. He called to Slattery and

FEDERAL SHIPPING LAWS.
Case Wherein the Constitutionality
is Involved.


is Involved.
SAN FRANCISCO. July "a case
wherein the constitutionality OF the
federal shipping laws is involved IS
now being heard in the United States
district court here.
The suit in question is that by which
the four alleged mUtineers OF the bark
Arago-Philip H. Olsen, John Bradley,
Morris Hansen and Robert Robertson
seek their liberty on the ground that
they are being held by the United
States marshal, under an old English
law, which they claim is contrary to
the spirit of American liberty.
The questions involved are wholly
those of constitutional law, and
doubt the case will on that ground be
appealed from this court, no matter
what the decision may be, to the
United States Supreme court.
The case was taken into the district
court on a writ of habeas corpus, and
the hearing was commenced today.
The sailors contend that the law which
gives United States marShals and mas
tiers of vessels the right to arrest de-
serters and imprison them until yes
sells are loaded and ready for sailing
is unconstitutional and that it is a
reprint from the old laws of England
and is contrary to the spirit of the
American constitution.
The charge against the sailors is
mutiny. They shipped from this port
originally for a voyage to the Columbia
river, thence to Valparaiso and return.
They deserted their ship at Astoria,
and refused to go further. Then they
were arrested by the United States
marshal there and held in Jail until
the ship was ready to leave port, when
: z how naH 70 A.
still refuse to work the ship was put
in here and they were again arrested.
This time the charge was mutiny for
violating their contracts.

Glass Insurance company, who jumped
into the arena, upon instructions from
his home Office, and made a straight
slash of 80 per cent on all rates. In
explanation of this cut the gentleman
states that for the past year he has
written practically no new business,
although he used every endeavor to do

cause OF this falling off and now de-

entered into between the plate glass
insurance companies doing business in
the United States, but as soon as he
discovered that the other agents were
cutting his company gave him
instructions to protect its business
ana get new at any rate which was
! deemed advisable under the circuqn-
stances. In meeting competition the
gentleman made a cut of so per cent.
and then ado led that as his standing
schedule The war is now on and
considerable slashing is resulting.
As a matter of fact. there is not
enough Of this class of business in
this city to maintain one agency of
any size and it is probably due to
the lack of business that rate cutting
is now being INDUCED in. 1t is
merry war and the owners of plate

fits.

situation. Mr. Sinclair stated that
there was no likelihood of an adjust
ment of the present difficulties for a
long time to come. In the north and
northwest the Home and Phoenix are
in the unions but here in Utah and
out in California they still decline
and will decline to enter into any
agreements with the other companies

he has received. said Mr.. Sinclair.
