MAY CRITICISE JUDGES.
Editor Post, Fined for Contempt, Dis
charged by a Higher Court

Cleveland May 13.-The freedom of
the press and its limitations in Ohio
were very clearly set forth today by
the circuit court in an opinion reVers-
ing Judge Lamson of the common
pleas court and setting at freedom Ed
itor Post of the Recorder. Some weeks
ago Judge Lamson caused the arrest
of Louis F. Post, associate editor of
the Recorder, for alleged contempt of
court. Judge LamSOn held that an
article written by Post and published
in the Recorder commenting on courts
generally and criticiSing Judge Lam
sons actions in a certain case was con-
tempt. Judge LamSOn refused to hear
Post or his attorneys on the merits of
the case, saying that he had prejudged
the case before causing Posts arrest
Judge hanson fined Editor Post 5000
and ordered him sent to jail for ten
days. The case was appealed to the
circuit court. Judge Hale delivered
the opinion.
Judge Lamson's refusal to hear evil
dence on behalf of the accused he Sc
verely criticised and pronounced the re-
fusal error on the part of the court.
The fullest opportunity to show cause
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt should have been given to the
accused. His guilt should not be de-
termined before such an opportunity
has been given him" Judge Hale also
declared Judge LamsOn had erred in
refusing to permit the defendant to file
an answer to the charge of contempt.
Newspapers. he said. have a per-
feet right to criticise courts and judges
with reference to cases Which are past
There are two classes of newspaper
articles which are contemptuous-frs
those tending to affect the decision in
pending cases; second, those purposing
to bring the court into discredtt The
article in this case has reference to a
transaction, in our judgment, wholly
past.
The article was an unjust criticism
of an honest. upright and faithful
Judge" said the court. but in no man
ner was it, in law, contemptuous, and
the lower court is therefore OVerruled
and the defendant discharged"

GRADUATED r. R. TAX LAW
Is Passed by the Michigan House of
Repres en- tatives.

Lansing, Mich, May ia bill has
passed the lower house of the legisla-
ture which raises the specific taxes on
railroad earnings in Michigan from
500, 600 to about twice that amount.
The rates are as follows: Roads earn
ing less than 81, 900 per mile 21a per
cent; from 1000 to 81 900, 4 per cent;
from $4,000 to $4,000, per cent; over
$4,000, 10 per cent. This is a partial
victory for Governor Pingree but there
is still considerable doubt whether any
of his railway reform measures will
pass the senate.
A bill for local taxation of railroads
which was agreed to in committee of
the whole yesterday was today referred
to a committee on motion of Col. Atkin-
son. the leading Pingree representative.
If the senate passes the specific tax bill
passed by the house today the local
taxation bill will probably not be push
ed
Asked if he would sign the Merriam
bill, Governor Pingree said: These
companies ought to pay three or four
million, but these are pretty hard times
and 100000 would go a good way. We
might accept the bill and then in two
years from now make the companies
pay what they ought to pay

"WHO THE POPE?''
The Sultan Irritated by Interference
From the Vatican.

London, May 13.-The Rome CORE
spondent of the Standard gives today
the history of the discontinuance of re
lations between the porte and the vati-
can. He says:
Last summer the pope, in an auto
graph letter, begged the sultan to pro-
tect the Christians in Crete. The papal
delegate obtained an audience at the
Yildiz Kiosk and formally presented
the letter.
The sultan. evidently initiated said
in an undertone in Turkish: Who's
this pope that's always meddling in the
affairs of state?' and then aloud in
French: Tell his holiness that it is my
constant care to attend to the welfare
of all my subjects
Tine pope, deeply offended at seeing
his plans for the eastern churches up
set in this fashion, tried another let
ter last October This had a better re-
ceptiOn, but was never answered, and
there has ben no direct communication
between the vatican and the porte
since"

AHALTIN SKYSCRAPERS.
Uncertainty of Chicago Ordinances
Causes a Jeweier to Abandon
His Purpose.

Chicago, May 13.-Because of the or
dinance of the city restricting the
height of buildings and because of the
general depression of business, c. D.
Peacock has abandoned his purpose of
erecting a fireproof sky-scraper at the
northwest corner of State and Madison
streets, and has surrenderd his SO year
lease of the property to the lessor,
Marshall Field
The lease was made some time In
February 1896, and went into effect on
May L 1896, at which time also it was
put on record. The terms were $4,000
a year for the first seven years and
$50 600 for the rest of the term, payable
in gold. It was also agreed that Mr..
Peacock should begin on or before May
1, 1903 and finish on or before May l,
1904, the erection of a freproof build
ing to cost not less than $350,000-
Mr. ePacOclx's design was to erect a
12-stOrv building at a cost of $500, 600,
using the ground floor for his jewelry
establishment and renting out the up
per stories He says he became dis
couraged by the difficulty of renting
the upper stories of the present build
ing and by the vacillating course of the
city council in passing and threatening
to pass ordinances interfering with the
erection of tall buildings, and concluded
to abandon the enterprise. He found
Mr. Field perfectly willing to annul the
lease on the simple condition that Mr..
Peacock should pay the commission
and taxes, amounting to $4,000, which
he did.

LAW TO TAX RICH MEN.
The Inheritance Act to Drive Million
aires From New York.

New York, May 13.@There were sew
eral laws passed. by the recent Iegisla-
ture for taxing the rich All are in
tended to relieve the Republicans from
the Odium of being the rich mans
party and the protectors of the mOnOp-
olies and trusts. It is said here that
the Democratic leaders, when they
have been in power, have bled and
blackmailed the rich, but have passed
no laws to injure them, whereas the
Republicans have bIed and blackmail-
ed, and legislated, too; so that if all
the legislation that has been proposed
and enacted is enforced the million
aires will have to leave the state, just
as they have been driven out of Ohio
by the Mergenthaler law and similar
statutes.
If what is known as the inheritance
law, now before the governor for his
veto or approval, is signed, the exodus
will be general and rapid.
This law requires that in addition to
the existing tax of per cent upon the
appraised value of all inheritances,
there shall be a graduated tax of 1 per
cent upon each $3.50. 900 in excess of
$500, OOO until the sum of 100000 is
reached, when there shall be a fixed
tax of Is per cent. In other words, a
man who inherits 81, 000, 900 from his rich
uncle, or anyone else must give per
cent of it, or $4,000, to the state. If
it is 81, 0O0, 900 he must give IL per cent,
or 1920, 600, and so on. If it is 100000
he must surrender $3.50 900; if SIC, 900, 900,
81, 500, 000
In the case of Jay Gould. whose es-
tate was appraised at $40, 100000 for
taxation, and assessed So 500, 600 under
the present inheritance law, the heirs
went into court and got a large reduc-
ton, because much of it was in nOn-as-
sessable securities. Several other es-
tateS are now fighting the assessors
under the existing inheritance law, and
expect to be relieved of a considerable
part of the assessment
If Cornelius Vanderbilt should die, his
heirs would be assessed to pay about
$25, 900, 900 under the proposed law, and
the heirs of Mr.. Rockefeller would be
assessed more than $50 600, 000-enough
to pay the expenses of the state for two
years.

DEER IN A CANON.
More Than 100 Animals Fenced in
Winter Quarters

Denver, May 13.-Today Attorney Cen
eral Carr will announce his opinion on
the right of Glen Beulah Park to fence
in a number of deer and elk in a park it
has inclosed under Rim Rock, Garfield
county. The deer We're wintering in the
canon at the head of Roam creek, which
is overtopped by Rim Rock, 1900 feet
above its bed, when the members of the
association constructed a fence across
the mouth of the canon. They say the
deer and elk happened to be there. and
were poeketed without any intent on the
part of the association to violate the
game laws.
In referring to the matter last even
ing Mr.. Stokes said that the association
was arranging to stock the park with
deer and elk and would probably obtain
one or more carloads OF black tail deer
and few elk from Idaho
I'VE have probably $50 deer now in the
park" he said, but we are paying but
little attention to them, and will not in
terfere with the state ownership. We
own about 1900 acres of land confined in
a canon about three and one-half miles
long and three-fourths of mile in
width at its mouth or entrance. 1t is a
picturesque and romantic place. as wild
as can be imagined and natural feeding
place for such animals.
1T is a spot where for years past large
herds of hundreds, and 1 might say sev~
eral thousand deer have come from the
White river plateau to winter. 1t is as
much like a wedge-shaped cut out of a
huge cheese IS anything, the ravine COM
ing to a point at the inner end, and the
walls rising almost precipitately to d
height of 800 or 1000 feet on either side
with an oVerhanging cap or rim rock
formation. This is the same place where
the destruction of a large herd of sheep
occurred in Garfield county two years
ago. The sheep were driven over the
rim rock, and We're dashed to pieces on
the rocks below. A fine stream of pure
water flows through the ravine and
there is any amount of vegetation, groves
of spruce trees and the slopes of the
walls are covered with buck brush, on
which the animals brouse in winter.
Deer are growing scarce and the
herds will be greatly depleted during the
next few years, owing to the continuous
close season in elk. Henceforth those
who have hunted elk will turn their at
tention to deer. A few years ago from
so to 1900 deer wintered in the Roam
creek valley, and this winter they num-
bered only about 1000, quite a falling off,

There are some people who have piles

grow worse until the trouble becomes
deep seated and chronic. or developes in

and thoroughly that it cures every form
of piles whether itching, blind. bleeding

Cure has proven to be the only certain
cure except a surgical operation, and its
advantages over an operation are many,
as it is painless, causes no delay, or in
reference with daily occupation and last
but not least it is cheaper than any sur

He had been caught by an avalanche.

Where can you find in the annals of
medicine such a complete victory over the
old school of nauseating and drastic rem
edies? A few years ago Prof. Munyon, a
man of giant intellect, benevolent pur-
poses and determined character, unfolded
his new school of medicine through the
medium of the press to the public. Con-
ident in the honesty of his mission, he
asked the citizens of the United States
to test his remedies absolutely free. -
and thereby made the public jury to
decide upon their merits. What has the
verdict been? Ask Missouri. Iowa, Ne
braska, Washington, California and all
other states of the union-one continued
success throughout this vast continent.
Thousands of sufferers who never knew
what it was to be free from pain bless
the name of Munyon, the modern bene-
factor of the human race.
The unquestionable merit of Prof. Mum
yon's remedies has stood the test of the
past six years, and now the name of
Munyon is a household word in every
family in the country, proving beyond

your own health, have mercy on the lit

them in after life, when you have within
your reach at a nominal price cures
that will effect the desired result without
injury to the system.
