DONE ONLY FOR EFFECT
JUDGE eWART HAS DEMOCRATIC EDITOR
PRESENTED BY GRAND JURY.
Republican Ed tor With the Same Kind of
Passes is Not Put to Expense to Let the
Judge Vent His Spleen.

Hendersonville, n. c., Nov. 6.-(Spe-
claI.)-Iour reporter called on Editor
Shipman of the Hustler this morning
and presented the News and Observer
containing the report of cases against
the Southern and III. and Il. Railways,
which were brought up in Judge Ew-
rt's court on Thursday, charging the de-
PENDANTS with issuing free passes to Mr..
Shipman. When questioned about the
matter the editor replied:
"Oh, we'll, you know Judge Ewart had
to do something to offset the charges
against himself and Solicitor Mccall for
accepting passes and L presume he
thinks less censure will be placed upon
them by letting the public know other
people carry them. 1t is all for effect,
N my opinion, but / do not think the
people will endure his actions in detain-
ing the grand jury after all other busi-
ness had been dispensed with simply to
Investigate matter which will prove
of no significance in the end. | should
like very much to hear the evidence
upon which he says no grand jury in
the State will return a true bill against
the Southern Railway ON account of his
pass.
But how about the true bills re-
turned on your evidenceT / inquired.
'Wel, it's matter / cannot under
stand. l was summoned before the
grand jury in behalf of the State in
both cases and testified that l had no
free pass over either of the roads, but
paid for my transportation in advertis-
ing, just as 1 pay my bills at the stores
which advertise in the paper, and told
them l did not belong to the free pass
hut
travelling over these lines. Solicitor Nc
Call told me after court adjourned that
he thought all newspapers would come
under the head of employees and said
he only sent the bills to indicate his
willingness to prosecute the railroads,
$50 / do not think the affair will amount
to anything"
"Did they call any witnesses except
yourself"
II think not. I did not hear of any
others. 1t seems they did not wish to
disturb the Republican brethren-al-
though the court knew the Times editor
carried the same class of passes that l
do. Now If ex-Sheriff Grant, A. b.
Freeman, Judge Pace, j. b. Freeman
and some other leading Republicans had
been called in the proceedings might
have been quite lively for q while,
II would be entitled to a pass over
the Hendersonyille and Brevard Rail-
way If did not serve them in the mat
ter of advertising. Being a Judgment
creditor, under a recent decree of the
Superior Court giving the property into
the hands of the creditors, makes me a
director of the road, and all directors
are entitled to passes. do not believe
Il jury can be found who would convict
either corporations OF a violation of the
State laws regarding passes similar to
the one l carry"

IMPORTANT TO ENGINEERS.

The Arkansas Supreme Court Gives n
Decision Affecting the Brotherhood.
g.
Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 6.-The SUI
preme Court OF Arkansas today handed
down a decision which Is of the great
est interest to the public in general, as
well as to the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers in particular. 1t is well
known the locomotive engineers are all
employed under contract by which Sc
niority of service gives priority of right
to employment, so that when slackness
of business demands that one or more
engineers shall be discharged, the last
engineer employed shall be the first dis
missed.
One of the senior engineers having
been discharged, he brought suit on the
ground that he was discharged without
cause and in violation of his contract
of employment. 1t was conceded that
his contract gave him the right to quit
at pleasure and the court denied his
right to recover on the ground that no
contract can be valid that gives only
one party thereto the right TO terminate
it.
The. court holds that the right to res
Icind or terminate contract must be
mutual. The decision is far-reaching.
affecting, as it does, organized labors of
all classes, working under contract
agreements.

There were 81 passengers aboard, but

About s o'clock, after it was found

tire patriotic duty, and have for 1t
no adverse criticism whatever. On the
