CASE OF THEO. BROWN,
A Question Before the Supreme Court
Is Of Importance to the Interstate
Commerce Commission

Washington. Jan. 23-The attention
OF the supreme court of the United
States today was engaged in the con-
sideration. upon oral argument, of one
OF the most important cases on the
docket. 1t was the appeal of Theodore
+. Brown. from the judgment of the
circuit court for the western district
of Pennsylvania refusing to discharge
him on writ of habeas corpus from
the custody of j. w. Walker. United
States marshal for the district named.
and 1t involved the constitutionality of
the amendment to the Interstate COM
merce law made in the Fifty-second
congress in order to cure the defeat
which was made manifest in the coun-
selman case.
Brown is auditor of the Allegheny
Valley railroad and in an examination
of certain officers of the company by
the federal grand jury at Pittsburg for
alleged violation of the law. he de-
clined to answer certain questions, on
the ground that to do so would tend to
criminate him. invoking the constitu-
tional guarantee for protection. The
case being reported to the court. Brown
was directed to testify and again re-
fusing. was held to be in contempt
He appealed to the circuit court for
release on his writ of habeas corpus
but that court discharged the writ and
remanded Brown to custody. The wit
ness was adjudged to be bound to an
swer under the amendment to the in
ter state commerce act of February II.
1899. providing that in cases arising
under the inter state commerce act.
the witness should not be excused
from answering on the ground that his
answer might tend to criminate him
self, because it was provided but no
person shall be prosecuted or subject
to any penalty or forfeiture, for or on
account of any transaction, matter or
thing concerning which he may testi-
fy or produce evidence, documentary
or otherwise, before said commission,
or in obedience to its subpoena, or the
subpoena of either of them or in any
such cause or proceeding"

reputation of the attorneys engaged.
attracted to the court a large attend
ance Of lawyers.
The argument was wholly upon con-
stitutional grounds and could not be
described as popular in any sense. The
question at issue was whether or not
the constitutional protection invoked
by Brown could be rendered inopera-
tive by the legislative declaration in
the amendment. Mr.. Carter cOntended
that 1t could not, and that the law
was unconstitutional; ex-senator Ed
munds contended that 1t could. and
that the law was constitutional

Tho Old Morgan Bond Syndicate to bo

New York. Jan. ga rumor. which
was generally credited. was current to-
day that certain members of the old
Morgan bond syndicate had reformed

from thirty to forty millions of the
bonds at a stated figure. and that each
individual member will also put in q
separate bid at figures to be deter
mined upon by themselves.
This would furnish bids for $50. .OG0. 900

are satisfied that the bond call will not
be Il success as u popular loan, but at
the same time the whole issue will be
subscribed for They estimate that the
bids from the public will not exceed
twenty millions.

Myers The candidacy of Mckinley was endorsed, and the dele gates instructed to vote for him upon All ballots. Statehood and home rule were advocated and thanks extended to Delegate N. o. Murphy for his work in congress.
 The following platform was then read and adopted:
 We, your committee on resolutions, beg to submit the following report:
 Be it resolved, that we announce our al legiance to the time honored principles of the Republican party, so ably propounded by the statesmen of the party for the past thirty-five years. We denoUnce the dlsln- tegrating and destructive policy of the Democratic party, as taught by Grover Cleveland, by the pursuance of which poncy the richest nation on the face of the earth has been brought to the verge of bank ruptCy.
 We declare that it is the unanimous de- mand if the people of the Territory that silver should be remenitized and restored to it's place in the currency of this nation and as money metal accorded 1t by the founders Of the Republic.
 We assert that we are for free and un- limited coinage of silver at the ratio ct 16 to 1, and we hereby instruct the delegates to the National Republican convention to use every means ill their power to secure clause in the national platform fayoFing the free and unlimited coinage of silver. We believe that Arizona has sufficient population, wealth and intelligence to en- title her to the panoply of statehood and we petition the American Congress in a spirit of fairness and justice to grant us 1 this boon.
 We are unalterably opposed to the ap- pointment to office of men who are not re- sident of the Territory and declare for the principle Of home rule.
 We recognize in the Hon. William Nc Kinley, of Ohio, the most distinguished champion of the Republican policy of pro lection to American labor and American industries as also the policy of reciprocity with other nations and we hereby endors' bis candidacy for the presidency of thu United States and instruct the delegates t' St. Louis to vote for him upon the first bal lot and upon all ballots.
 Resolved, that the labors of Hon. N. o Murphy, our Delegate to Congress, in hi efforts to secure to us stateshood has ou most cordial approval.

Went Under the Bridge.

The gasoline boat, Az'ec, left her landing al the foot of Main street last Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock for the Potholes. When going through tha prison hill cut she got caught on 8 sandbar. A few minutes later her engine was stopped and shortly after ward the swift current of the Colo rad0 river swung her partially around and off the sandbar. She then float ed broadside with the current down and struck one of the piers of the bridge and continued half mile further down before t was lowed to shore. On examination 1t was found that the damage done was slight, the strongback and wheel being the only things about her broken.
 Judging from view off the hridge the men on board must have lost their presence of mind for they failed to start the engine up when the sand bar was cleared.
 The owner, Chas. Weisshuhn, can consider himself very fortunate in escaping with so small financial loss.
 The boat was repaired and in the afternoon started again for her des- tination with better success.
