ST. LOUIS. Jan. 15.-Judge Thayer. of
the United States Court. to-day granted an
application for writ Of habeas corpus and
ordered the release Of John p. Reese. a
member of the executive board Of the
United Mine Workers Of America. who was
arrested at Fort Scott. Kan, for contempt
of court in violating an injunction Of the
United States District Court of Kansas.
Last October, when a strike was In prog
ress in the mines Of the Western Coal Com
pany, in Kansas, q suit was brought en-
Joining anyone from interfering with the
men at work therein. John p. Reese went
to the scene Of the strike from his home,
in Iowa, and was arrested for addressing
body OF miners. He was convicted Of con-
tempt or court and committed to jail. He
then made application for the writ of
habeas corpus which was granted to-day.
Judge Thayer rules that while a court
may punish for any act that may be con-
strued as an objection to the execution Of
the laws it has no right to impose a PEN
atty where independent or individual rights
are involved. 1t was contended by counsel
for defense that as the Injunction did not
include any save those who were citizens
of Kansas, he could not be held amenable
to 1T 1t was chiefly on this point Of non
jurisdiction that the case was submitted.

LENGTHY ARGUMENTS


The argument was begun in the Van
dalia case yesterday morning before Mas
ter in Chancery Noble c. Butler. and al
most the entire day was consumed by At
torney r. o. Hawkins in a statement of
the facts in the case. for 1t was not until
after o'clock in the afternoon that he
sat down after making an argument of
nine hours.
Mr.. Hawkins was followed by Judge Tay-
lor. of Fort Wayne, who commenced the
argument of the law in the case. Both of
the attorneys represent the State. Judge
Taylor will probably conclude his speech
by noon to-day when he will be followed by
Attorneys Williams and Pickens, who rep
resent the company, and these gentlemen
will be followed in turn by Attorney Ferd-
dlnand Winter for the State and the COM
panys case will then be closed by At
torney Lawrence Maxwell, of Cincinnati
after which the last speech in the case
will be made by w. A. Ketcham, who
represents the State. The arguments in
the case will probably consume the whole
of the week.
The case is that in which the State is
Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railway Com
pany, which amount Attorney General
Taylor claims is due the school fund I'M
der an agreement included in the COM
pany's charter granted in 1Si7.

completely captivated the miners by his
address at yesterdays session Of the con-
vention. Mr.. Skevinger is one Of the most
popular labor agitators I'm the country and
has very warm spot in his heart for the
miners. Yesterday he recalled the time,
during the strike of shoemakers at Marl-
boro, Mass, when the strikers and families
were almost starving. Then came the min
ers of the United States to the rescue, and
the strikers were able to hold out and win
the strike. Like the miners, the shoemak-
ers are also strengthening their organiza-
ton, and. according to Mr.. Skevinger. they
have gone begging for the last time" He
thinks the union Is now strong enough tc
meet capital boldly and insist upon fail
share Of the profits OF the toll OF the
workers.

indianapolis Board of Health will take to
prevent any possibility of the disease be-
coming prevalent in this city. He answered
that If the epidemic in Clay county was as
serious as DR.. Hurry reported the board
will hold a meeting to-day to devise plans
TO prevent anyone entering the city who
might have come In contact with the dis
ease there. and also to take up the ques-
ton Of what would be done with the pa
tents providing smallpox should break out
in the city. He added, however, that DIR.
Hurry no doubt will take all necessary
precautions to prevent the disease from
spreading further than the locality to
which 1T is now confined.

His tenure of place is to continue during
good behavior and capacity to act and his
proper remedy for removal without such
hearing is by mandamus"
NO PERSONAL FEELING.
Mr.. Kern in the beginning of his argu-
ment disclaimed any personal feeling in the
matter. He said that Notwithstanding the
newspaper statements to the contrary. he
had never prepared or given any official
opinion as TO the action of the Board OF
Public Safety in ,.4smissing firemen and
policemen, so that he had been able to
investigate the questions before the courts
without personal or official bias or preju-
dice. He reviewed the history OF the en-
actment of the city charter which, he said,
proceeded upon the lines of arbitrary power
and distrust of the ability of the people
to govern themselves properly. He said
that being an anti-imperalist and having
full confidence IN the virtue and intelli-
gence OF the people, he had not favored the
adoption OF the city charter. Being
adopted, however, IL is the law, and the
courts are bound by Ii. Mr.. Kern argued
that under Section SO. which provides that
policemen, fremen and other subordinates
may be removed by the board for any
cause other than politics. the power of the
board TO remove at will is ample and COM
plete; that II the contention of opposing
counsel prevails. Section 96 is meaningless.
Mr.. Kern insisted that Section 81 contem-
plates an entirely --fferent set of condi-
tons and was not intended TO limit the
power conferred upon the board by Section
SO. He cited and quoted at length from de-
cisions OF the Supreme Courts OF Massachu-
sets, New York. Illinois, Alichigan and
Florida. and referred 10 a case from the
Supreme Court OF the United States which
he claimed supported his contention.
After hearing the argument Judge Car

SPURNlNG THE USUAL Err
AND FLOURIS

The only recent open, honest express
sion thai has come from a fellow who
fought the south with most unholy
hands and wicked heart is hat express
sion that was reported in yesterdays
Messenger as emanating from a Geor-
gian named Pierce (not of kin we hope
to the noble North Carolina stock that
produced a Lovick Pierce and a George
F. Pierce) who fought against his
state and the south. He was sick of
the unfortunate color business as it
was insincere and deceptive. That is
the meaning of it. He carried his
point at the meeting Of the Northern
Veterans in Washington as the resolu-
tions that were adopted were in har-
mony with his detestation. That part
which reads as follows We hope will
put an end to the soldering and pre-
tence Of the last dozen years. 1t
reads:
but when they act in the capacity
Of confederates, making an unpatriotic
display Of the confederate colorS we
unhesitatingly decline to accord to
them the slightest recognition or at
fliation."
Let the gang go. Nothing more
wicked and damning is in the wars OF
the last three hundred years than the
war of the vast north against h small
Ter south. Let the true southerners De

falter and pretend. Stand up for pr1n-

The radical tricksters are preparing
to enter upon fresh deviltry at the
presidential election. They will in
dict more democratic registrars and
try the intimidation game afresh. BY
this course they hope to help little Mac
and get their reward farther on. 1t is
said Holton is moving in the matter
and expects to make a tool of Jim
Boyd. Chairman Simmons is on the
alert, and has already sent out Motif
cation to the election officers who are
indicted in the federal court that they
will be fully protected and defended
by able counsel. That is right. Thus
far white men have some rights. What
would become of them if Mckinley
were reelected, if the supreme court
should decide against the amendmnt.
and the negroes should again undr the
radical gang set UP m~astership, re-
mains to be written.

GAME OF BEAG.

The situation as given by that re-
ington Post, in it's issue of 4th, elects
Mckinley We suppose. The Post is a
decided advocate of that candidate
but fair in discussion. 1t says that
the states conceded to little Mac give
107 electoral votes; those conceded to
Bryan give 112; Mckinley states con-
tested by Bryan-mark the wording
ITO. These are for Mckinley and that
with the above given as certain make
277. Then there are Bryan states
contested by the republicans-see the
language-that give 5S-a total for
figuring has no sort of showing. 1t
says:
When it is realized, however, that
both Kentucky and Maryland nay go
democratic, it will be seen hat ven
the addition of Wyoming, which is
likely to go republican, would not save
Mckinley. The situation. therefore.
resolves itself, in our opinion, int the
question of how New York will cast its
electoral vote. Figure as you may, ar
range the states in any n that
may seem most probable, the chances
still remain that the candidate who re-
ceves the electoral vote of New York
will be successful. And this one fact,
in itself, constitutes the most unique
feature of this campaign. When it is.
for a moment, admitted that the result
of the election hinges upon New York.
a state which gave a majority of $685.
/ 600 for Mckinley fou years ago, a re-
markable change in public sentiment
is recognized"
This last Is the final summary of the
Post. But is it really certain that New
York is absolutely necessary to the
| election of either candidate? A change
| of 600 votes in New York would have
elected Blaine president instead of
Cleveland.
Here is a reductio ad absurdum es-
| innate by Vice Chairman j. C. john
| son, of the democratic executive COM
| mittee. He is simply r%idiculing the
! wild, senseless Dragging Of the McKin-
ley managers. He figures 326 electoral
votes for Bryan, gives little Mac a. beg

Fusionists' Counter Demonstration

Lincoln, Neb., October 3.-Follow-
ing the Roosevelt demonstration Of yes
terday, the fusionists Of Nebraska held
a counter rally today with Senator
wellington, Of Maryland, and ex-Gov-
Hogg, Of Texas, as speakers.
The crowd in the city was very large.
Governor Hogg confined his address to
an answer Of Governor Roosevelt. He
accused the vice presidential candidate
of Haunting the bloody shirt Of forty
years ago and denounced what he call
ed the structures passed on the ma
tional guard as compared with the
Rough Riders.
Senator wellington said he was still
a republican and differed with Mr..
Bryan on the tariff and money ques-
lions, but was supporting hum because
imperialism was the issue of all others
and on that they were agreed. He said
he was opposed to the war with Spain
from the start and still believed 1t was
an unnecessary war. So far as Cuba
is concerned it. was simply a changing
of masters and the last, he said, is
worse than the first.

was escorted into the hall by a band
and his appearance sent the V
ton into a pandemonium of applause.
He made a short speech.
The next speaker was Mayor Sam
uel NJ. Jones, of Toledo.
At the conclusion OF Mayor Jones
address James Hamilton Lewis. of the
state OF Washington, was introduced.
The convention at 5 o'clock took a
recess until after the parade at night.

those who had participated in the jol-
LITIGATION. The meeting was called to

national crisis. Yesterday a pack of
goods on the way from Chilliwack to
Mount Baker for American-owned
claims was seized by the American
custom authorities on the ground that
the goods had gone across the boun-
dairy line into the states. Deane, the
provincial surveyor, who is fixing the

derive a stretch of new land two miles
wide by the moving of the line back
where it was originally and s,iould now
be located. Valuable American mines

the statement alleged to have been

ing that plank or any other plank in

platform. / don't know anything of Mr..
