Columbus. Ohio, May 9.The Stand
ard Oil Company won point in the
Supreme Court to-day when decision
was handed down dismissing the con-
tempt proceedings against Malcolm Jen-
nings, newspaper man. Jennings was
subpoenaed as witness in the Stand
ard Oil suits by the Attorney General,
who endeavored to show that the wit
ness was conducting news bureau in
the interests of the Standard Oil Com
pany. When asked to give list Of
papers to which he furnished such
matter, Jennings refused and was cited
for contempt. The Supreme Court held
that the information asked Of the wit
ness was not important and that it
would not tend to throw any light on
the question at issue. The court held,
therefore, that the witness was not in
contempt in refusing to answer the
question.

CHINESE NOT EXCLUDED.
Ruling That the Exclusion Act Does No
Ann " To In RnsaASSlnnG.

A Ruling That the Exclusion Act Does Not
Apply to Our Insular Possessions.
Washington, May 9.-Acting Secre-
tary of War Meiklejohn said to-day
that the Chinese exclusion act did not
apply to our insular possessions. Some
three weeks ago an order was issued
extending the laws and regulations
governing immigration TO the United
States to the territory under military
control, and collectors of customs were
directed to enforce them pending the
establishment of regular immigrant
stations. By some this order was in
terpreted to mean the exclusion of
Chinese from Porto Rico, Cuba and
the Philippines. This is a mistake,
Mr.. Meiklejohn saying that the order
only extended to the regular immigrant
laws, not the Chinese exclusion act,
and that there was no intention, for
the present, of making the latter act
applicable to our insular possessions.

DIR. Briggs Admission to the Episcopal
Priesthood May be Long Way or
New York, May 9.-No public an
nouncement having been made on Sun
day of the time and place for the ordi-
nation of DR.. Briggs, the belief has be-
come more widespread that his admis-
sion to the Episcopal priesthood has
been indefinitely postponed.
A clergyman who has followed the
course of events closely says that a
simple solution of the difficulty would
be for Bishop Potter to refrain from
naming a new date for the ordination
in other words, do nothing.
This course would commit neither
Bishop nor DR.. Briggs, and for the pres
ent. at any rate, would allay the spirit
of hostility to the ordination. On the
one hand DR.. Briggs would not with
draw his application for ordination; on
the other, the Bishop would be saved
from the responsibility of immediate
action.

Stedman Bound Over

VIII Stedman, colored, was bound over in

charge of stealing $50 from viii Brown, a
soldier, from Bristol, Tenn, and until re-
Gently member of the Third regiment of
that state. He was discharged from the
army in Admission, and came to Birming-
ham to blow in his money. He chose
tough saloons for this purpose, and sue
ceeded in purchasing for himself a dead
drunk. When on the stand yesterday he
talked as If in a dream He couldn't swear
that Stedman had taken his money, or even
that his money was stolen, but he did say
that the negro had "helped him to throw
up early Thursday morning after his all
night drunk, and he thinks at that time the
negro took his money. Other witnesses also
gave damaging evidence against Stedman,
so the judge bound him over.

"Calling Her Out of Her Name"

Mary Trimm had Mittie Livingston ar
rested for calling her out of her NAME"
which, in police vernacular, means for
cursing her. She said that Mittie had got
ten mad with her because she Mary had
rented a room adjoining Mites, in which
the latter wanted to keep some things
which belonged to her dead sister,"
Mittie, on the other hand swore that she
had gotten mad with Mary because She
Mary-had led her son-Mittie's son-from
the straight and narrow path and Mittie $
son Is a married man. Then followed lot
of testimony which was not at all to either
woman's credit. In fact the judge told
them that both of them ought to be sent
to the penitentiary, If each of their stories
was to be believed. He was not that severe
on them, however, and fined Mittie So and
Mary So.
