ACTION AGAINST A
SAVINGS and LOAN co.

The second case tried before Judge
sion of the appellate court today was
that of Theodore F. Tillinghast VS..
United States Savings & Loan Com
pany of st. Paul. MINI. 1t was an ac-
tion OF debt on an agreement by which
the loan company promised to pay a
certain sum to the shareholders of
whom the plaintiff was one. There are
a number of these cases in court, but
IL was agreed today that the decision
in one case would govern all.
The question in all the cases Is
whether defendant company can legally
make two reductions in it's capital
stock. that its directors tried 10 make.
Mr.. Tillinghast claimed he was owed
some $500 by the company. The decIa-
ration sets uD that the defendant COM
pany was notified by the Insurance ex-
aminer that certain real estate was
held on it's books at too high a value
and u was reduced in book value some
$4,000 or 10 per cent. In 1899 there was
another reduction OF the same amount.
Plaintiff claims that the company
was no1 justified i'm thus Interfering
with the contract between It and the
shareholders. Defendant says n acted
under the direction of the public ex-
aminer and the statute OF the state OF
Minnesota and it's course in making
the two reductions was perfectly
proper one. In other words the de-
PENDANTS claim Mr.. Tillinghast IL only
entitled TO $500 less the two ten per
cent. reductions.
Theodore +. Tlllnghast Is counsel for
the plaintiff and Dexter u. Potter and
#. III. Ewing of ST. Paul, counsel for
the defendant.

to the effect that McEroy had COM
planned that the officers OF Station
had made caricatures OF him upon a
book kept at the station. which pic
lures. Or. Keene was told, had not been
made.
CARICATURES WE'RE MADE.
At yesterdays hearing the proof was
adduced that McElroy was correct. The
book did contain the caricatures he had
complained OF.
The committee had a stack OF reports
placed before them. every one OF which
favored McElroy. who had been to ISos-
ton and New York to be examined b.
the best experts ia insanity In these
cider. and who said that the subject
before them vas not insane.
Among these experts was DR.. Jelly.
the leading expert OF New York, who
unqualihcdly said that McElroy was
not mentally unbalanced.
There was also brought out the fact
that In the absence OF Chief Baker from
the city McElroy was sent TO Deputy
Chief Egan. then acting as chief. with
Instructions that he. McElroy. he order
ed on duty. Deputy Egan declineS~to
assume the responsibility and told Nc
Elroy to go back TO DR.. Palmer. then

the usual written order for restoration

The committee have referred the mat

CASES OF UNLIMITED TYRANNY.

Ex-President Harrison. in his official abstract
OF his recent Ann Arbor speech, put forth the
opinion that the limitations in the Constitu-
''tion on the powers of Congress, whether ex-
pressed in the affirmative negative form, ap-
piled 10 the exercise of that power in all
places If that is true, the United States has
done great wrong 10 American citizens and
the Supreme Court has expressly upheld it in
so doing, for in some places il has dared TO
pass judgment involving life or death in utter
disregard Of the limitations of power expressed
in the Constitution.
There is certainly no more fundamental Iimi-
tation on the powers of the Government than
that guaranteeing jury trials twice stated in
the Constitution, once in Article Ill which pro-
Fides that the trial of all crimes except in
case Of impeachment, shall be by jury" and
again. in the Sixth Amendment. which says:
In al criminal prosecutions the accused shall
enjoy the right TO a speedy and public trial by
IAN Impartial! jury" This is an absolute pro-
hibition on the Federal Government. so far as
u is limited by the Constitution at ALL from
passing condemnation on any criminal except
by means Of jury trial. and that jury meant
by the Constitution the courts have decided is
jury Of twelve men and no other Unless The
United States Government has a sovereignty
unlimited by the Constitution il can in no place
and under no circumstances Except by impeach-
ment or court martiaD infict penalty without
this jury trial Mr.. Harrison thinks the exist
ence Of any snch power anywhere would be
monstrous, since mems rights would thus de
pend on the benevolence of Congress- and that
would put them in the condition Of slaves And
YET that power does exist.
BY act Of Congress an American Minister OF
Consul in Eastern countries can judge and CON
denim 10 death or Imprisonment American citi-
Zens charged with committing crimes In those
countries or on board American vessels in ad
5acent waters. That power has been repeatedly
exercised. and in the case OF a sailor named Ross
who committed murder on an American mer
chant vessel in the pert Of Nagasaki, Japan, and
was condemned TO death by the Consular Court
but brought TO Albany Penitentiary on a com
mutation by the President. the Supreme Court
gave us sanction 10 the practice IL said On II
