NEW TERM COURT.
Judge Hazsn Formally Opens Jan
uary Session Today

The district court began the more i'm
portant business of its January term
today by commencing on the criminal
docket The jury for the term was
summoned for the first time this morn
ing. The first case called was that of
the state against Hiram Hall, an as
sault case appealed from the city court
The jury panel for the term is made
up of the following: ]. F. Folger, To-
peka; John Marsh, Mission township;
James H. Leonard, Topeka; J. H. Pick
ems, Topeka; H. A. Fiske, Topeka; F. B.
Fritz, Mission township; Joshua Pierce,
Soldier township; H. B. Firestone. Au-
burn township; ]. M. Montgomery, To-
peka township; ]. G. Moore, Mission
township; Joel Huntoon. Topeka; ]. NJ
Welch, Topeka.
Before the docket was called Judge
Hazen took occasion to give the jury
some instructions, and among other
things he said:
Now, gentlemen of the Jury, when
you retire to the jury room to consider
a case, see that you consider that and
do not waste your time talking about
other things. Do not discuss politics or
religion. Bend your energies to the
case you have in hand until you are
through with it,
The criminal docket is short and
there are few cases of any Importance
now assigned for hearing. The principal
one will be the case against H. M.Wise
for highway robbery, over which the
jury disagreed at the last term.

HOPE FOR LADYsM1TH.
Believed That a Relief Movement is
Now Under Way.

London, Jan. 15.-Up to the present
the reported crossing of the Tugela river
by Gen. Warren's division remains but
rumor. Nevertheless the whole tenor
of such news as has dribbled in from
South Africa during the last 4S hours
indicates that a combined forward
movement of a comprehensive character
is proceeding. It is not necessary to be-
lieve the unconf1rmed stories of the
Beers being in full retreat from Co
Ienso because it has been learned that
a column is proceeding via Weenen to
Helpmaakar, to cut off their retreat.
But at the same time credible informa-
ton from many sources indisputably
points to mOmentouS changes in the
disposition of the Republican forces.
Advices from Maritzburg dated Sat
urday, January Is, says thai since their
defeat on January the Beers have
been removing their guns from the posi-
tions south of LadySmith. The same
dispatch confirms the report that the
Thirteenth Hussars reached Groblersk
loot without meeting the Beers. AS the
trenches at Groblerskloof were, perhaps,
the strongest position held by the
burghers their vacation has consider
ably astonished the British.
Merchants at Pietermaritzburg have
received messages from Ladysmith say
ing: Bring up jam" etc, indicating
that their Ladysmith agents antici-
pated an immediate opening of COM
munication while Ladysmfth also hello
graphed the belief prevalent there jan
uary IS that the Beers were moving and
concentrating their forces elsewhere. AS
corroborative of the British activity in
the direction of the relief of Ladysmith
a dispatch has been received in London
from Gen. Butler to the effect that he
expected all the dispositions for
synchronous movement of the various
columns against the besiegers would be
completed this morning. Under these
circumstances it is considered quite
probable that the advance on the be-
Ieaguered town has commenced and
that fighting is progressing. Optimists
go so far as to say that it is expected
that Ladysmith will be relieved tonight
if all goes well. The military men are
divided in opinion as to whether Gen.
Butler is at Springfield, or personally

without due legal process. Judge Thay-.
er sustains this contention. 'Inasmuch.
however, as the learned district judge
says Judge Thayer in referring to Judge
Williams, "by whom the order was is
sued has evidently, construed and en-
forced it as reaching beyond the parties
to the record and as embracing the pc
titiOner who was not a citizen of Kan
sas nor subject to be sued by the COM
plainant in that state without his con-
sent the validity of the order may be
determined upon the assumption that
such was it's true scope and effect
Judge Thayer closes his opinion by say
ing:
the court is of the opinion that the re-
strainiug order was void in so far as it
concerned the petitioner and that it
afforded no legal basis for the contempt
proceedings which were subsequently,
inaugurated against him and against
him alone, although there were it seems
many other persons concerned in the
acts constituting the alleged contempt
1t is somewhat remarkable that no at
tempt was made prior to the contempt
proceedings to make the petitioner a
party to the suit in which the injunc-
ton was granted. If he had been made
a party it may be that he would have
waived his privilege of being sued else
where and consented to litigate with
the complaining company the various
issues rendered by its bill of complaint
If he had refused to do so the case
might nevertheless have proceeded
against the other defendants by a sim
pie dismissal as to the petitioner. But
be this as it may, it can not be ad-
judged that upon the 81 cate of facts
heretofore recited the restraining order
extended to and bound the petitioner.
If it be assumed that such was its
scope and purpose, then it was void in
the sense that it was Leyond the
power of the court to make it, And

to him, or for the violation of an order
which was in excess of the Jurisdiction

in the mines. Reese, who is a member
of the executive committee of United
Mine Workers of America, went to the
scene of the strike from his home in
Iowa, and was arrested for contempt
for addressing a body of miners.
An application for a writ of habeaS
corpus followed in the federal court of
appeals, and w. H. Rossington and
David Overmyer, of Topeka, and o. T.
BoaX, of Pittsburg, were employed by
the mine workers to argue the case at
st. Louis. J. H. Richards, w. c. Perry.
E. NJ. Benton and Morris Cliggitt took
the side of the coal companies in de-
Tending the action of Judge Williams.
In his opinion which releases Reese,
Judge Thayer said:
This is a proceeding by habeas cor
pus to secure the release of John P
Reese who was committed for alleged
contempt, in disobeying an order of
injunction that was issued by the cir
cult court of the United States for the
district of Kansas, third division. BY
virtue of an oral agreement of counsel
the case has been submitted for decis-
ion upon a written stipulation as to one
issue of fact, also upon the petition for
the writ, the return thereto and annex
ed exhibits. BY these pleadings and ex-
hibits the following facts are disclosed
which are undiSputed: On June 13,
1899 the Western Coal & Mining COM
pany a corporation of Missouri, filed
United States, for the district of Kan
sas third division, which may be char
acterized in a general phrase as a bill
to enjoin the defendants therein named
from resorting to threats; intimidation
or scurriIous epithets for the purpose
of preventing miners who so desired
from taking service with the coal COM
pany and from resorting to the same
means for the purpose of inducing per-
sons already in the coal company'S en-
ploy to abandon such service Forty
six persons were made defendants to
the bill by name all of whom were al
legged to be citizens and residents of the
state of Kansas, and in addition thereto,
other persons, as it is claimed, We're
made parties defendant to the bill by
the following words of general descrip-
ton, in the caption Of the complaint,
towit:
".And all members of the United
Mine Workers, lodges or unions in
Crawford or Cherokee counties in the
state of Kansas, and all members of
district number fourteen of the United
Mine Workers of America, and all 9TH
er persons cooperating with them, be-
ing citizens of Kansas
Reese contended that as he was a res
ident of Iowa and not within the juris-
diction of the court that he was not
subject to prosecution for contempt
even had he indulged in violation of the
order of the court. Reese claimed he
was innocent and that the power of the
court had been invoked against him

RIGID QUARANTINE.
Oklahoma People Must Keep Out of
Kansas.

A quarantine against Oklahoma on
account of smallpox is being establish
ed today by w. 3. Swan, secretary of
the state board of health who was sum-
moned to Independence by a telegram
last night.
1t is the intention of the authorities
to make the quarantine a rigid one and
to prevent people from the infected dis
tricts in Oklahoma from entering the
state at any point along the southern
line
Secretary Swan has been informed by
official communication that there are
400 cases of genuine smallpox in the
towns adjacent to the southern Kan
Sas line.
Today the secretary is aiding in the
establishment of a quarantine at Inde-
pendence and will go from there to Ar
kansas City and other towns along the
border of the state.
1t is extremely probable that a rigid
quarantine will be established along
the entire southern line of the state.
It was the purpose OF the Oklahoma
authorities to establish a quarantine
against all of the territory except Kay
county, leaving this without the plea of
the restrictions as an exit from the
state without interference from the au-
thorities.
Such quarantine as this would have
who were convalescent to come and go
into Kansas as they pleased, a condition
which the Kansas authorities decline to
permit to exist.
A quarantine against Kansas City,
No, is also being discussed as that
town has more than 1 600 cases of small
pox today.
