Court of Appeals, Grants a Writ
of Habea Corpus.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. January 15.-Judge
Thayer, in the U. s.. Court of Appeals
to-day, granted an application for a
writyof 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
found guilty of contempt of court in
violating an injunction of the United
States District Court of Kansas
i Last October, when a strike was in
progress in the mines of the Western
Coaf@Company, in M4fssas, a suit was
brought enjoining any one from inter-
fering 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 a body of
miners. He was convicted of con-
tempt of court and committed to Jail.
He then made application for the writ
of habeas corpus, which was granted
to-day.
Judge Thayer ruled that. while a
court may punish for any act that
might be construed as an obstruction
to the execution of the laws, it has
no right to impose a penalty where in
dependent or individual rights are in
volved.
1t was contended by counsel for the
defendant that, as the Injunction did
not include any save those who were
citizens of Kansas. he could not be
held amenable to it. 1t was chiefly on
this point of non-jurisdiction that the
case was submitted.

1t seems unjust in the extreme to as
sail senator because he may vote to seat
Mr.. Quay The question involved turns
upon the construction of the Constitution.
Senators like Mr.. Hoar, who, as constitu-
tional lawyers, insist that the intent Of
the Constitution is that each State shall
be represented in the Senate all the time
by two Senators, and that the executive
has the right to fill a vacancy that exists
during vacation of the Legislature, can be
honest in their opinions. Some of the best
lawyers who have been in the Senate for
years have held to that view. among whom
is ex-senator Edmunds. 1t is simply dog
matte and tyrannical to threaten Senators
who vote to seat Mr.. Quay. calling such
an act on their part perfldy. If such a
precedent should be established, Senator
must ignore his own opinions and obey the
dictation of editors who assume to be die
tatorS.

In a recent article on the iron industry
of the United States Professor Taussig,
of Harvard University, makes the strik-
ing observation that whether the ore
goes to the coal or the coal meets the ore
halfway, one or both must travel long
journey by land as well as by water; one
or both must be laden or unladen several
times, and a carriage often of over 1000
miles must be achieved with two separate
hauls by rail-" 1t is the increase of the
obstacles of transportation necessary to
bring ore and coal together which had to be
considered. Wherever ore and coal can
be got together cheapest, there is the best
location f,r iron furnaces.
