THE CLUES INFLUENCE.
Too much cannot be said in praise Of
the enterprise, the ambition. and the
work Of the Wednesday Club, or in
eulogy of its director. Mr.. Arthur SERVE
nor, 10 whose efforts so much of its sue
cess IS due.
The festival this year promises to
eclipse anything Of the kind that has

as mark the difference between the fes-
tival of 1896 and that of 1881.
In addition to the soloists mentioned

Hearing Before Supreme cssEt es Qsssiiss =
Congress Rights In Matter.

Washington. March N.-The case
against Elverton r. Chapman. the New
ton Of a'y section i62. Revised " sfatute a
which makes 1t a misdemeanor for wit
ness summoned before committee OF
propounded to him, reached hearing IN
the United States supreme court, today
His alleged recusancy was committed in
senate Of the a.l t9s susaF Trust scan
the tariff bill in 1894. He has applied to
custody under that convictions on a writ
OF habeas corpus.
The case was argued for the petitioner
ex-Judge Dfttenhoefer, and for the gov
eminent by Saiicitor-Gen Conrad.
The contention of the counsel for the
petitioner was three-fold:
Ffrst-Tnat the law under which the
conviction was had IL unconstitutional,
In that 1t seeks to make a refusal to tes-
contempt of the authority of the body
ordering the inquiry. to be made.
Second-That the law y unconstitu-
tional. for the reason that Congress cam
not impose on. nor commit to the judi
cial branch OF the government punish
ment for contempt Of it's dignity or au-
Third-That the law is Unconstitutional
for the reason that by the fifth amend
ment to the constitution says no persons
be twice put in jeopardy Of life or limb.
Upon the second proposition. in answer
to questions by Justice Gray. Mr.. Ed
munds said that when Congress touched
on the Individual citizen. the ultimate
decision as to whether II was rightly or
wrongly exercising its power must be
with the supreme court of the United
States.
Against the contentious of Messrs. Ed
mund and Dittenhoefer. Solicitor General
Conrad asserted that the full power of
Congress to just exactly what had been
done in this case. Counsel for the petit
toner. he said. COMPOUNDED acts with Of
fences. 1t was easy to conceive the COM
mission of a single act which might and
should subject him to punishment for two
or more separate offences.
Ip this case, he said, Chapman had not
been convicted of misdemeanor COM
mitted IS the Indictment said against
the peace and dignity of the United States.
1t was entirely competent, Mr.. Conrad
of the petitioner as an offence and pro-
vide for its punishment by judicial power
