HEARD ON APPEAL.
Right of Civil Court to Review Find
ings of Church Tribunal.

The Court of Appeals today heard the ar
guments of counsel in connection with the
case of Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop of the
diocese of Washington in the communion
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the
United States of America, appellant. against
Rev. Gilbert F. Williams. The appeal is a
special one from an order of the late JUS
tice Bradley, made March last, granting
writ of certiorari in the case before the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
wherein Rev. Mr.. Williams is petitioner
and Bishop Satterlee is respondent
The former is a deposed priest of the
church and the latter is bishop of the do
Cese CT Washington.
Up to the year 1897 Rev Mr.. Williams
was rector of Washington parish. Charges
were presented against him to an ecclesi-
astical court, accusing him Of a breach of
his ordination vows and conduct unbecom-
ing clergyman of the church, and also OF
immortality: A verdict OF guilty was re-
turned, and he WIS deposed by sentence of
the bishop.
Rev. Mr.. Williams asserted that he was
wholly innocent of the charges, and that
the pretended court was not constituted in
accordance with the canons of the church
and was, therefore, wholly without iuris-
diction to try him, and that the conclusions
OF the court and the judgment of the
nisnop, were OF no erect. 1t was asked
that Bishop Satterlee be commanded to
certify to the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia the proce edings and ey-
erything relating thereto Of the ecclesias-
teal court
Bishop Satterlee asked that the petition
be dismissed, his main contention being
that the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia has no jurisdiction by certiorari
to review the findings or judgment Of an
ecclesiastical court.
The cause was heard by Justice Bradley
who issued an order directing that the writ
of certiorari should issue as prayed, where
upon petition was filed in the Court Of
Appeals by Bishop Satteriee asking for the
allowance of special appeal from the or
der, which was granted.
Attorneys Henry E. Davis and William A.
Meloy appear for Rev. Mr.. Williams.

MENACE TO HEALTH
NEED OF IMPROVING THE ANA
COSTA RIVER
Representative Hepburn Declares That
It Ought to Receive the Atten-
ton of Some Committee.

When the conference report on the river
and harbor bin was submitted to the House
today the attention of Chairman Burton
was called to the item in the bill appro-
priating $150.000 for the improvement of The
Anacostia river, which had been placed on
the measure in the Senate. This amend
ment had been accepted by the House con-
ferees. it was said. with a provision ''liriis-
ing the scope of the Improvement and a
member wanted to know what that limit
meant.
Mr.. Burton replied that 1t was the desire
to limit the Improvement of this river
strictly along the lines of lettering nayiga-
ton. He read from the report of the en-
Stneer in charge, urging the necessity for a
OO-foot channel up to the navy yard, and
a channel 400 feet wide in front of that
yard. with a uniform depth of twenty feet.
and that the dredged material be deposited
on the flats opposite ST. Elizabeth's. This
would raise 100 acres of this marsh land to
a level of one foot above high tide. Mr..
Burton did not regard this as a reclamation
of the flats, but said this Improvement was
incident to the Improvement of the river IN
the interest of commerce.
Mr.. Hepburn asked if it was not a similar
proposition to the Improvement of the Po-
tomac flats.
The reply was that the Potomac flats
were government property and were re-
claimed for park purposes.
Mr.. Mudd pointed out that the appropria-
tioiA WIS d CASH applopIidtlous ala notI-
ing was made available after June 80, 1903
that is. that the improvement was not to
be continuing one. He also referred to
the fact that he had introduced a bill
which was now before the committee on
the District of Columbia, which provided
for the Improvement of Anacostia river
and the reclamation of the flats above the
Pennsylvania avenue. bridge, which i'm
provement was necessary for sanitary pur-
poses.
For the reason that the appropriations
carried by the river and harbor bill were
for commercial purposes this improvement
could not be carried on that bill. Mr..
Mudd did not think the general govern
ment should be made to pay the cost of
sanitary Improvement He said he hoped
TO get action on his bill.
In reply Mr.. Hepburn called attention to
the fact that three or four years ago there
were 800 cases of typhoid fever in Wash
ingtOn. And l know, as every other man
of thought knows, he continued, that the
AnacoStia river is a menace to the health
of Washington.
1T Is menace to our health, and 1t ought
to receive the attention of some committee
We know now that reclamation is possible
by experience on the Potomac, and 1 hope
that the gentleman turning to Mr.. Mudd)
will see to it that his committee which is
charged in some degree with the public
health Of Washington does something with
regard to this important matter. If it is
not properly in the jurisdiction of the river
and harbor committee to take action 1t
ought to be done by the District commit
tee
After further discussion on other points
of the bill the conference report was
adopted.

CHICAGO, June 3.-Rioting broke out
again in the streets of Chicago today, as
the result of packing house teamsters'

Although great precaution had been taken
by the police to prevent crowds from con-
gregating where wagons were carrying
meat under the ban of the strikers, the
attempt to move caravan of twenty-four
wagons under police protection from the
yards met with conflict
The rioting took place in South Clark
street. in front of the stores of Irwin Broth
ers and Wagner, Winslow Co, wholesale
dealers using meats from the big packers
Wagons from the yards were driven to
these stores and were being unloaded when
a crowd of spectators and strike sympa-
thizers began hooting and interfering with
the non-uuion drivers.
The disturbance drew a mob of nearly
1900 people to the scene The police who
were guarding the wagon tried TO preserve
order, but were not successful.
The two Irwin brothers seized ham
dies, and, in company with the police, beat
back the crowd

Difference in the Bills.

Ar. Ray On. W explained the difference
between the Senate bill and the House sub
stftute. The purpose of the House bill was
TO protect the President, the Vice President
and those in the line of the presidential
succession. and also to prevent the entry
into the United States or the naturaliza-
tion of persons who preach anarchy for
eible destruction of government. The i'm
verative reason for the passage of this bill
was the non-uniformity Of state laws for
the punishment of homicide. The Senate
bill, Mr. Ray commended. was unconstitu-
tfonal because IL provided. the death penalty
Tor the killing of the President, the Vice
President and cabinet officers In line of
succession, without regard as to whether
at the time they were engaged in the per-
Torrance of their official duties
w Every decision OF the Supreme Court on
the subject he said, indicated that Com
Eress had jurisdiction to enact laws pun
tshing ofenses against officers only when
they were engaged in the performance of
their official duties. and for that reason
the House substitute used the language
ANY person who unlawfully. purposely and
knowingly kills the President while en-
gagged In the performance OF his official
duties. or because Of his official character
or because Of any of his official acts or
omissions, shall suffer DEATH"

.'@ Ia SESSION.

When It is Done It Will Be Done
Within the Republican
Party.

Senator's and Representatives who believe
that for the country's welfare and in the
interest of the republican party there should
be revision or some schedules of the pres
ent tariff law. earnestly discussed today
the conference which was held at the White
House last night between the President
and some of the republican leaders in the
House and Senate Tariff revision was
talked about at that conference, developing
clearly the position of Senators and Repre-
sentatiSes for, and against the project. 20
Three Propositions Established.
Three, propositions were established in
the Views expressed by those present:
First-That revision at this session Of
Congress is i1npracticabie.
Second-That ultimate revision of some Of
the schedules Is probable. No enc present
held the Dngfey- ant to be so sacred that
ITS trainers cannot alter, 1t when necessity
demands. -
+. Third That President Roosevelt, while
holding to the second proposition, does not
want Congress- to zpro1nise. tariff revision
unless It can cagry.out the promise.
Arguments for Revision.
OF those ;Tresent, at-the conference, Sena-
tor Allison Of Iowa. Senator spooner Of
Wisconsin,, REPRESENTATIVE Hull of Iowa.
Representative Overstreet Of Indiana were
most earnest sins urging that the republican
party in Congress must ultimately take cog
nizance Of the necessity for revising some
schedules OF the tariff act, in response to
the demands of public opinion.
This view Of the case was clearly present
ed'by the officials OF the campaign commit
tee and the logic OF the arguments admit
ted by President Roosevelt. The practical
bility of action was then gone over, all
agreeing, as stated, that nothing could be
done at this session.
The Presidents Position.
The suggestion that this Congress might
commit itself upons revision was met by
an assertion from the President that he
did not want the republican Congress to
commit itself anless there was assurance
that the promise could be carried out
The conference developed also the fact
that the fight for tariff revision which has
been undertaken by prominent republicans
has not been abandoned but will be pushed.
