HILTON INAUGURATES 4 WAR
ON SALOON POKER GAMES

Officers Randolph and Palmer
swooped down on a poker game in a
Second South street saloon last even
ing, running in everybody connected
with it. They gave these names: Jim
Brown, farmer; Frank Campbell,
John Johnson and W. E. Lyon, the last
named being charged with keeping a
gambling house and the others with
gambling. 1t is supposed Lyon was
running the game.
Chief Hilton said last night that he
intends enforcing the ordinance against
gambling in saloons, and the an
nouncement will probably cause a
great deal of worry around town, es-
pecially along Second South.
1--WE will arrest these offenders said

d'Alene investigation was resumed to-
day by the house committee on military
affairs, with ]. H. Forney, special pros
ecutor at the scene Of disorder, on the
stand. Representative Hay of Virginia
directed the examination with view
to disclosing how far the United States
troops were under the control and di-
rectioB of Governor Steunenberg and
his executive official in ShOshOne cOun-
ty, Bartlett Sinclair.
Mr.. Hay asked if General Merriam
was the responsible commander, not
only of the troops, but also the affairs
of the district in general The witness
said General Merriam was not the re-
spOnsible commander, as the governor
and Mr.. Sinclair directed affairs. To a
certain extent they controlled the
United States forces.
Mr.. Forney said the troops were sent
there to aid in suppressing the insur-
rection. and they did this by co-opera-
ton with and assisting the state Off

Bartlett Sinclair's Position.
Questions by Mr.. Lentz brought out
that Bartlett Sinclair was a civil Off

cised certain military authority in or

Mr. FOrney stated that, in his opin-

both elements to remain in peace.
Mr.. LentZ sought to develop that the
union men were being systematically

MR.. MEASE'S DENIAL.
Post Traders Store at Fort Duehesne
Not Closed.

The statement contained in a Price
special to The Herald yesterday that
the post traders store of J. H. Mease
at Fort Duchesne had been closed, as a
result of prosecutions for selling liquor
70 the Indians, is denied by Mr.. Mease,
who sent a telegram from Fort Du-
chesne, saying that his store was not
closed and was not likely to be. Mr..
Mease has a high standing among the
business men of this city, and his
friends here are certain that if there
mas been any illegal liquor selling he
had nothing to do with it. He has been
away from the post for some time, and
it is possible that employees may have
taken advantage of his absence by en-
gaging in the unlawful traffic.

Mr.. Dunbar went straight to business.
he denounced the Republican party of
Utah for lack of courage to frame a
platform All the platform they had
was an 1nferential one. They did not
dare to declare against silver for fear
| or offending the silver element of Utah.
They did not dare declare for silver for
lear OF offending the Hanna tribe. They
were in the same boat when it came
10 the trust question, as many eastern
HannaiteS said that the trusts were
/ beneficial. \ comparison was then
made between the open, frank and
/ positive declarations in the Democratic
/ platform, and the weak, vacillating and
hedging thing sent out by the Re-
publicans and called a platform.
| The Republican party was then
cooked to nut brown for its attitude
towards the working classes and the
/ false claim of prosperity, as the only
/ people in the United States that We're
enjoying prosperity were those same
trusts that are built up and held up
/ by Republican legislation.
! He reverted to the crashing times of
| 1S73-4-5, and showed the people that
/ business failures were seven to one
! greater than those in 1885. The finan-
cial question was ably handled, and the
/ financial bill as passed by congress and
/ signed on the 14th, with its bond
( dealing features, was riGdled. The ad-
Vanced prices on wagons, machinery,
/ barb wire, etc, were fully gone into.
! Mr.. Dunbar was listened to through
out with the closest attention, and
! Democrats feel assured that on April
p Judge King will be elected by an
! overwhelming majority.

HOUSE REFUSES TO
AGREE WITH SENATE

Washington, March 19.-The house
today refused to concur in the senate
amendments in the Porto Rican relief
bill. The Democrats supported a mo-
ton to concur on the ground that it
would avoid further delay in extending
relief to the inhabitants Of the islands,
but the Republicans stood firmly behind
Chairman Cannon in his demand that
the house should insist upon its Origi-
nal provision to appropriate not only
the money collected on Porto Rican
goods up to Jan. l, but all subsequent
monies collected or which are to be
collected.
Mr.. Cannon explained the changes
made in the bill by the senate, which
he said restricted the appropriations TO
the duties collected previous to Jan. l,
1900,
The house provision appropriated also
the duties collected after that date and
those to be hereafter collected. The
other changes made by the senate, that
designating the purpose to which the
money should be put. he said, was only
a change of form, the house provision
having left the expenditure of the
money to the discretion of the presi-
dent
Mr.. McRae said that the essential
difference between the two bills was
that the house bill affirmed the right of
the United States to impose the Ding
lev rates against Porto Rico. whereas.
the senate provision upon this subject
was indefinite
Duties Should Be Returned.
Members on both sides, he said, were
agreed that the duties collected on
Porto Rican goods should be returned.
The Democrats take the position that
there should be absolutely free trade
between the island and the United
States. Democratic applause).
Mr.. Bell (COlo.) also advocated con-

ance.
Powers of the State.
Stating this grievance he said it was
that the statutes of Texas limit it's
right to make contracts and take away
the liberty assured by the Fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States. Besides it was asserted
that the statutes made many discrlm-
nations between persons and classes
of persons. on this latter point the
court did not feel called upon to pass.
The oil company is foreign corpora
ton and It's right of contracting in the
state of Texas was the only subject OF
inquiry. On this point the opinion held
that the state prescribes the purposes
of a corporation and the means of ex-
ecuting these purposes"
In this case the oil company could
not claim an exemption from the prin-
chile Ion the ground that the permit
Of the company was a contract inviol-
able against subsequent legislation by
the state.
