Supreme Court Decides Against Stubborn
Witnesses.


Z Witnesses.
Washington, March 2.-Onc Of the
most important decisions ever made by
the supreme court will be handed down
to-day. It will put new life into the
interstate commerce act and create a
great sensation in railway circles. The
power of the government to compel
witnesses to testify or to send them to
jail will be established by this de-
cision. The court will announce de-
cision in favor of the government in the
famous Brown case from Pittsburgh.
This is an interstate commerce case.
Upon the decision rests the power ot the
government to regulate commerce.
Heretofore the government has been
unable to compel witnesses to testify.
Thus it's attorneys were unable to Sc
cure evidence to enforce the laws regu-
lating commerce. Hereafter any man,
no matter who he is, can be required to
give evidence, even if it incriminates
himself. Ii he refuses, he can be sent
to Jail for contempt of court, to remain
until he changes his mind.
a witness, however, giving testimony
against himself is by his own voice alb
solved from guilt and cannot lie pun
:shed, but his evidence can he used
against his associates. This was the
aim of the act of February II, 1893,
which was passed especially for the aid
Of the interstate commerce commission.
This act of February II $, wholly sus-
tanned and declared constitutional by
the forthcoming decision. It was the
real point at issue.

BOOTH TO FORM A NEW ARMY.
DepOsed Salvation Leader Will Organize
a Movement.

< Z d
New York, March 2.-Thc World says
that Burlington Booth is making plans
for an independent American Salvation
Army, of which he and his wife will be
the leaders. He announced the decision
to start such d movement Saturday,
but it will be several weeks before he
can tell just on what lines the work
will be undertaken. The ,9eposeu com
1nander said in regard to the matter:
II have received large number of let
ters and kilograms from people in all parts
Of the country, many of them auxiliary
members of the Salvation Army The
practically unanimous sentiment expressed
in them is that Mrs. Booth and l should
organize and lead an Independent religious
movement. Both Mrs. Booth and myself
are strongly inclined to comply with these
demands; in fact, may say that such In
organization will be established.
considerable time is needed, however,
to perfect the plans and details of such a
widespread movement. 1t will be essen
TALLY American in character, and we have
already received most cordial assurances
of support from men and women of prom
inence in all walks of life. Although most
of our former associates in the army have
given their allegiance to the new COM
missioner, they are watching every move
ment mace ~ US With the deepest interest.
From many of them 1 have received mes
sages assuring me of their personal deyo-
ton. %.E -'=
In another lengthy address-lssued
Sunday night-Ballington Booth con-
firms the statement that he and Mrs.
Booth will inaugurate movement in
America which will afford them I'll OBJ
portunity to continue their labors for
the uplifting of the unchristianizel peo-
PIE Of the country. The address says:
1T is farthest from our desire thatsuch
I. new and independent movement
should be hostile to the one we have
labored so long and SO hard to up
build"
