said that at 40 p. m, when walking
with his wife, Clara. on President. near

him and that while one engaged his at
tention, the other two dragged his wife
into some bushes. Presently he heard
her screaming and ran for help.
1t was dark when he found an oficer.
and by the latter was told TO go to the
third station and make a report OF the
affair.
The scene OF the alleged assault was

THE COURTS RULING

The argument showed the question TO
be one of great Importance, the court
said. and he didn't think Ii had been
shown him that the act was unconsti-
tional: his mind was not lear, there
were too many objections, and taken as
a whole he was in great doubt.
Attorney General Stearns' argument
was brief but very convincing. He cited
the famous Alabama case OF Fits against
MCGEE and said this case suited the po-
sition of Rhode Island in the present
case. lie was as much interested In
having the law tested as the other side
could be, but the present motion was OF
great Importance, as the state might be
enjoined from enforcing the criminal
law until tho Supreme court could act.
The law, he said. did not entoin the
railroad from running as many cars as
II wished. nor did 1t prevent the road
hiring as many men as IL wanted to; IL
only enjoined II from working anyone
man more than hours In IL In every ma
tional day; nor did II prevent the com
pany paying any rate OF wages II pleased;
nor did II attempt to regulate the fares
The whole substance OF the case was II
the company insisted on working any
one man more than 10 hours according
TO he law. then IL must suffer and this
II the only point where the company is
injured. The property OF the company
is not touched. he declared, the law only
provides n penalty for doing this thing
The state would bring many indictments
againet the road II not enjoined.
Continuing the attorney general said
that the next grand jury would not come
In for three months. and that Il would
do no good TO call a special grand jury TO
hear the case as IL couldn't get into
court before next fall anyway.

General Wilson opened the argument,
saying that In view OF the change In the
situation that has taken place since the
case was presented TO the court last
Saturday. the opinion OF the Supreme
court sustaining the law. a different as
pect was put on the case than existed
at the time the bill was filed.
Mr. Wilson read the law and then the
petitioner commenting on them. para
graph by paragraph. no held that the
Federal court had. under the circum-
sta noes, a right to enjoin Stearns from
enforcing the allegations Of the 1O-hour
law. and that the injunction was against
the law officer OF the state and not
against the state.

bring suit, unless something else hap
pened When such a multiplicity OF suits
were threatened. suit at law was not
adequate.
The court asked II the opinion OF the
supreme court Of the state was entitled
to any respect; he had been asked to
Issue an injunction against the opinion
OF the supreme court, which Is entitled
TO the highest consideration. and II he
refused TO grant the preliminary injunc-
ton. IL would not be binding on the final
hearing. He asked Mr.. Angel II the
act didn't appear on its face as plainly
constitutional and Mr.. Angel admitted
that IL did II is the duty OF the COM
pany. the Judge said. to make the law
out as clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL; IL their
was any doubt the court could not touch
IL, II could not assume unconstitution-
ality.
Mr.. Angel argued that other street rail-
roads in Rhode Island, some of them In
competition with the Woonsocket road,
were exempt from the Law. All business
OF the same class, he held. should be sub
ject TO the same laws and the same la
biiities. This was against the constitu
tion of the United States. he argued.

TO The SUBURBS
Hurdy Gurdies Cannot Play in
the Business Section.

The insufferable hurdy-gurdy nuisance
is TO be in a measure abated.
Complaints have been so numerous OF
late. from business and professional men
that they and their clerks are bothered by
the discordant noises OF these alleged
musical machines that the police COM
nnissioners have instructed patrolmen to
drive away the organs from the business
section OF the city.
There has been constant round OF
these finerant musicians. AS soon as
one organ has finished It's repertoire, an
other has been dragged into the lanes
and by streets. and office work has been
seriously interfered with.
To-Day the organ men were told to get
a move on and 10 keep a travelling.

whom II was addressed, they having
become informed of the frauds and
wrongs that we're sought to be per-
petrated in the name of their govern
ment, and after negotiating, at differ
ent times, four agreements along
these lines, which negotiations ex-
tended over three years of time, the
pending supplemental agreement was
signed in the city Of Washington on
the Goth day Of March. 1902, and was
ratified by congress on July /, 1902
II is now before the Chickasaws and
Choctaws for ratification or rejection
by their votes.
The efforts OF the Chickasaws and
Choctaws in their own behalf have
not alone accomplished what has been
done The representatives Of the
government of the United States are
entitled to our lasting gratitude for
the consideration they have accorded
us. When they became convinced that
frauds and wrongs had been perpetrat-
ed upon a helpless people in the name
Of the great government of the United
States, and that danger was threat
ened, they were as anxious as we
to provide relief, and the citizenship
provisions of the supplemental agree
ment resulted
Many wrongs have been done our
people and many in the name of the
government of the United States.
but in the light of the relations with
that government during the past three
years the Chickasaws and Choctaws
can assert in positive terms that its
representatives, whose duty It is to
deal with our affairs, are men of wis.
dom, courage and justice, and ever
ready to do exact justice to all.
