United States supreme Court Refuses =
WASHINGTON, April ea.-Justicc
Brewer Of tho United States Supreme
court refused this morning to inter
fere in any way with the Judgment OF
the Carroll county circuit court which
sentenced Bill Taylor to be hanged
April 80 for the murder OF the Meeks
family.
The only hope left for Taylor is
that Governor Stone will grant q re-
spite. Taylor's lawyers will. go before
Governor Stone tomorrow with an
application for a respite The lawyers
will claim that new and most import
ant evidence of Bill Taylor's innocence
has been recently discovered and will
aek o stay of the hanging until the
evidence can be put in proper form
and presented to the Supreme court
in an application for a new trial.
Attorney Virgil Conkling reached
here Saturday and went before Justice
White of the Supreme court and pre-
sented his writ of error in the TAYLOR
case. Justice White refused to enter
tain The application. Conkling then

and made application to him. Justice
Brewer took the matter under advise
ment TIL this morning. At 9:30 o'clock
to-day Justice Brewer told Mr.. Conk-
ling that he had considered the matter
thoroughly and must refuse to inter-
fere with the judgment of the lower
court. Still concealing the fact that
ne had been before Justice White. Mr..
Conkllng asked Justice Brewer if any
other justice of the supreme bench
would have the power to entertain the
application and grant the writ of err
ror in the face of a refusal by another
justice. Justice Brewer told him that
any justice could grant the writ if he
chose to do so. Attorney Conkling
then left to apply to the other Just
ices for the writ.
There are nine justices of the SUI
preme court of the United States, and
1t is believed here that Conkling will
apply to each one of them for the writ
OF error and will not return to Mis-
souri, till each one has refused it.

ONE RECEIVERSHIP.

CAN II IblLClLl IJIOhDIIll
Washington, Jan. 1.-Senator
Pugh, chairman of the committee
on judiciary, has introduced a bill
in relation to suits against rail
road corporations in federal corrts. "
The avowcd purpose of this bill is
to prevent In future rival receiver
ships over Il single railroad, and to
accomplish this purpose it is pro-
posed that in future receivers shall
only be appointed in the district in
which the principal operating of
fees of the railroads are located.
Senator Pugh's bill, which was re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary
is as follows:
That 10 suit to foreclose a lien
upon property Of any railroad cor
poration shall hereafter be brought
in any federal court except in the
district in which the principal OPP
Grating offices of such corporation
are located; provided that a lien
upon property wholly located in
any one district may be foreclosed
by suit in that district.
Sec. 2. That no receiver of the
property of any railroad corporation
shall hereafter be appointed by any
federal court except in the district
in which the principal operating
offices of such corporation are To-
Gated and a receivership so consti-
tuted shall extend without further
order, except so far as the appoint
ing couIt may direct to the con-
trary, to all property of such cor
poration within the territory or
Jurisdiction of the United States;
and such court shall have sole jur.
isdiction to settle his accounts and
to direct his proceedings.
Sec. 3. That if more than one
federal court shall hereafter appoint
a receiver or receivers for the same
railroad corporation, claiming jur-
isdiction under this act, any party
interested, or any one of said re-
ceiyers, may apply to the chief JUS
tee of the United States, or in case
of a vacancy in said office, or of his
absence from the country or inabil-
itv to act, to the senior associate
Justice of the supreme court, for an
order determining which of said
appointing courts had jurisdiction.
The justice 50 applied to shall direct
what notice shall be given of the
application, and shall hear and de
eide the same as motion, and his
order deciding the same shall be
filed in the office ofthe clerk of the
court which first appointed a re-
ceiver; and until the filing of said
order the receiver or receivers first
appointed shall have charge of the
property of such corporation tenn
porarily; but said order, when filed,
shall operate as a final and unap-
peala BILE determination of said jur
additional question.
1t is said that the introduction
of this bill was brought about by
the pending clash of authority be-
tween the rival receivers of the
/ Northern Pacific.
