LOYAL LEGION CONFERENCE.
QuadrenniaI Gathering of the Organ
izatiOn of Civil War Army
Officers.

Detroit, Mich, June 1.-Men who dis
tinguished themselves as army officers dur
ing the civil war are arriving to attend
the quadrennial conference of the Loyal
Legion, which begins its sessions to-mOr-
row. The members of the conference con-
sist of six representatives from each of
the twenty state communicates. Rear Ad-
miral Gherardi, L. S. N, will preside.
Among the important questions to be
acted upon will be that of deciding the
date of the ending of the war. Accord
ing TO the laws of the Loyal Legion, the
war ended in 1865, and an application for
membership is treated from that stand
point. The supreme court, however. in
decision in an army payment case, decided
that the war ended August 30 1866, and
II is proposed to change the orders laws
TO conform TO this decision. Such change,
affecting the eligibility of many persons
TO membership, will be made with eau
uon, but many OF the states have instruct
ed their representatives to favor the
change.
Two other important changes proposed
are the wiping out of class distinctions in
the membership, and the admission TO the
order OF other than the eldest sons of
is composed of companions of the first and
second classes, the latter being chosen
from the eldest sons of those entitled to
membership as companions of the first
class.

be several social functions and excursions.

SAYS AN EXTRA LEGISLATIVE sEs-
SION WOULD BE USELESS.

NO REASON To EXPECT ANY RAIL

The Ex-senator Would HAVE the Rail-

Topeka. Kas.. June 1.-(Speclal) Ex-
United States Senator w. A. PETER is op-
posed to an extra session of the legislature.
In his paper tomorrow editotially under
the caption Extra Session Useless he will
say: ..-
The Advocate is not authorized to speak
for the governor and II does not desire to
embarrass him in tho exertise of his func-
uOns. Speaking for ourselves alone. we see
no good to result from an extra session of
the legislature at this time. 1t would cost
the people 81 1000 day and leave things no
better than they now are. So far rail-
cad legislation is concerned, and that is
the object of the proposed session, none can
be reasonably expected from the present
membership. That is evident from the pro-
ceedings at the regular session.
The board of railroad commissioners
know what the people want; let them go
ahead with such authority as they have
under the law which created them and
make an honest and intelligent effort to
correct any abuses which they think
exist; let them point out particular in
stances of what they deem unreasonable
charges, then declare what they hold to
be reasonable charges in the same cases.
direct the necessary changes to be made
and follow the cases into court IL they
are taken there by the roads, and i'm this
way proceed until the people get clearer
idea than they now have of the powers of
the commission and of the legislature as
well We are fast approaching a time
when the interests of the people at large
and of the railway corporations alike will
require solution of the carrying problem
on permanent principles"

IoHN E. sEARLES ACQUITTED.
Secretary of the Sugar Trust Set Free
by order of Judge
bradley.

| Washington, June LIN the case of John
| L. Searles, the sugar trust witness, Judge
| Bradley ordered the jury to bring in ver-
! dict of acquittal this morning. holding that
| the questions asked the witness by the
senate committee were not pertinent, and,
| If so, were not within the jurisdiction of
the committee.
The Judge pointed out that Mr. Searles
had testified specifically that no money had
been contributed by the sugar trust to the
national campaign or for the purpose OF
Influencing legislation or the election OF
United States senators. Certainly, the judge
said, "A simple investigation as TO whether
the sugar trust had contributed TO a cam
paign fund would be an unwarranted
pany and plainly beyond the power of the
senate. The senate committee had reported
that no testimony had been produced 10
show that the sugar trust had made any
contributions to any national campaign
fund or for the purpose of affecting lesisa-
uon. II money mad gone for the purpose of
eiecting members of state legislatures, who
in time would elect United States senator,
1t was beyond the power of the United
States senate to 90 behind the election OF
legislative members. II this were true as
to state matters how much more true was
IL Of local elections. II would be the wild
est conjecture 10 assume that the money
50 contributed in any way had gone to
make up the sugar schedule.
1t appeared from the report of the COM
mittee that they were not in the possession
OF any facts upon which they could base
most remote hope of showing an ultimate
connection between the sugar trusts con-
tributions and the sugar schedule. Under
these circumstances it must be held that
the questions asked were not pertinent and
not construed to be pertinent.
Judge Bradley, therefore, sustained the
motion OF the defense and ordered the jury
TO return a verdict Of aCquittal. The jury
accordingly rendered a verdict of not guilty
and Mr.. Searles was free.
The cases of f. J. Edwards and John S.
Shriver, the newspaper correspondents.
were postponed until next Monday.
