Supreme Court Decides Against Stubborn
Witnesses.
Washington, March 2.-One of the
most important decisions ever made by
the supreme court was handed down
to-day. 1t will put new life into the
interstate commerce act and create q
great sensation in railway circles. The
power of the government to compel
witnesses to testify OF TO send them to
Jail will be established by this de-
cision. The court announces de-
oision in favor of the government IN the
famous Brown case from Pittsburgh.
This is an interstate commerce case
Upon the decision rests the power Of the
government to regulate commerce.
Heretofore the government has been
unable to compel witnesses to testify.
Thus its 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. If he refuses, he can b. sent
to Jail for contempt of court, to remain
until he changes his mind.
\ witness, however, giving testimony
against himself is by his own vaice abb
solved from guilt ahd cannot I've pun
;shed, but his evidence can hc used
against his associates. This was the
tim of the act of February IL, 1898,
which was passed especially for the aid
of the interstate commerce commission.
This act of February IL IL wholly sus-
tanned and declared constitutional by
the decision just rendered. 1t
was the real point at issue.

members of the Salvation Army. The
practically unanimous sentiment espresso
in them is that Mrs. Booth and / should

movement. Both Mrs. Booth and my self
are strongly inclined to comply with these
dc rnands; I'm fact, l 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
