treasurer of Converse county, the suit
having been brought to collect money
received by the treasurer for the sale
of cattle owned by the plaintiffs which

Of cattle being driven across the coun-
~ and which were not owned in Con-
verse county The owners refused to
pay the tax. whereupon the county au-
tho-it!es seized the cattle.
Judge Riner held that under the law
taxes cannot be levied upon cattle be
ing driven through a state from anoth-
er state, and that the state law upon
that subject is in conflict with the in
teTstate commerce laws. Judgment
was therefore given in favor of New

CADETS
DEATH DISCUSSED

West Point. y. Y, Dee 20-The mill
tary court of inquiry composed of Cen
erals Brooks. Bates and ClOus sot
through a mass of evidence today and
tomorrow the cadets Of the first class,
among whom are Frank Kellar, who
fought BOOz. and some of the men who
saw the contest. viii be examined.
The court expects TO have all evil
dence collected by Saturday evening,
but Judging by the large number Of
witnesses expected to be called there
may possibly be an adjournment until
after the holidays. The name of for
meT Cadet John r. Breth. of Altoona,
Pa. who, it is alleged, died eighteen
months ago as q result OF brutal haZlng
at West Point military academy was
associated with that of oscar L. Booz
in the inquiry today
Superintendent Mills emphatlcally
denies that Breth was injured while
here and said today that the assertions
to that effect were absolutely false. In
refutatiOn of the statement made by
Cadet BOOKS father, Congressman Phil
Ifps of Cleveland, O.. sent a telegram 10
Superintendent Mills of the academy,
denying that he ever came to West
Point for the purpose of protecting his
son, Cadet Burt W. Phillips, from being
hazed. This was submitted to the court
and by direction of the court it was
attached to the record.
Cadet Herbert L. Krumm of Ohio,
told the court that among other things
which he was made to do as fourth
class man, was to qualify" in the mess
hail.
What does that mean?" asked Cap
tain Dean.
Il had TO eat eighty-fve prunes at
one sitting and at another I had to
swallow bowl of molasses and six
slices Of bread
Did you succeed in doing these
thimgs2" asked the court
NO, sir. ] was not successful on my
first attempt with the mOlasses, but I
did it all right the second time.
In concluding his testimony the wit
ness said that BoOz had a sl0uchy man
ner and did not seem to have enough
energy to hold himself together.
Cadet David II. Bower of Iowa said
ne had been hazed in 1898. He had to
do foolish things, such as receiving a
turtle passing down the company street
with a candle on its back and "chas-
ing a sparrow off the street after being
told il was an eagle"

SENATORS RALLY TO AID CLARK
.Continued from e Il

in acting. on the resolution. Mr.. Calm
ger. member of the committee, said
that at the meeting today that conclu-
sion for the present had been
reached. He said that the committee
would have another meeting tomorrow
and desired to have some members of
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions before il to explain the necessity
for the proposed investigation.
~ do not think" retorted Mr.. Chan
der, that the extraordinary spectacle
ever has been witnessed in this senate
before when the committee on contin-
gent expenses has summoned members
of another committee to appear before it
to give reasons why an order of the
senate should be executed.
Further along in his argument Mr..
Chandler. in response to an inquiry by
Mr.. Tillman, said that the Montana
senatorial investigation conducted dur
ing the last session of congress had
cost between 100000 and $4,000.
And what benefit was derived from
it2" inquired Mr.. Tillman.
The vacancy Of one of the seats of
Montana is the answer" replied MIR.
Chandler.
Yes" responded Mr.. Tillman, but
in the recent election Montana went
Democratic and a Democratic senator
from that state is assured The fruits
of the investigation are not so sweet
as they We're expected to be-
Mr.. Chandler replied that he had no
desire nor intention TO discuss the meF-
it's of the Clark case or the results of
the Montana election
The senator from Montana (Carter)
who is in his seat" said he, doubtless
would be glad to discuss the methods
employed by the Democracy in the re-
cent election in Montana. of which the
senator (MT. Tillman) boasts.
Mr.. Scott CIV. Va). a member of the
committee on contingent expenses, said
that as a matter of business he had a
right to know whether the money to be
expended for a further investigation OF
the Montana case ought to be spent.
Pending a motion by Mr.. Lodge that
the senate proceed to the consideration
of the executive business Mr.. Gallinger
made a statement of the case from its
inception and contended that the COM
mittee's action was justified by the
facts.
An effort was made to continue the
debate, but on Mr.. Lodges insistence
the senate went into executive session.
For the first time during the past ses-
sion Mr.. Jones of Nevada appeared in
the senate today. He mas been detain-
ed from his seat in the senate by seri-
Gus illness in his family.
Mr.. Hawley of Connecticut chairman
Of the committee on military affairs
reported from that committee the army
feOTSanlZa ton Dill. After some discus
sion Of the status of the measure which
has been passed by the senate and the
house and is now again reported to the
senate for passage. the measure was
placed on the calendar.
1t will be called up tomorrow by Mr.
Hawley- In the event of the passage of
the pending measure by the senate it
will be sent TO committee of confer
ence for the two branches Of congress.
A bill was passed to allow the COM
mutation of homestead entried upon
coded portions of Indian reservations.

ty-ilve miles from New Orleans. today
lynched one negro and are out on the
trail of three others as the result of the
murder Of Town Marshal W. E. Rich

his relatives.
The murder was the result Of a dis
pute between Alvin Lewis, a negro and
Marshal Richardson. A large crowd.
principally composed of negros and in
Guiding two sons and two nephews of
Lewis, both of the latter bearing the
same name. Henry Lewis, surrounded
the men.
While the marshaIs back was turned

sons and nephews, fed in the direction
of Wolf river.
