UNITED STATES COURT.
One Case Against Joseph De Lucca and
Joseph yannucci NoIIe Pressed.

One Case Against Joseph De Lucca and
Joseph yannucci NoIle Pressed.
In the United States Court Fri
day afternoon a nolle prosequi WAS
entered by District Attorney William
Michael Byrne in the case charging
Joseph De Lucca and Joseph Vannucci
with conspiracy to 5htain naturali-
zation papers by fraud. Judge Bradford
having ruled that the indictment did
not charge any offence against the
government.
The judge called attention to the
fact that the Indictment had not been
demurred to and there had been no
motion to quash. He said there was a
question in his mind whether the in
dictment set forth an offence punish
able under the laws of the United
States. In his opinion it did not. The
Indictment was for conspiracy. 1t
charged the defendants with violating
section 5,425, United States Revised
statutes, which says that every person
who obtains, accepts or receives any
certificate of icitizenship known to
have been procured by any false state
ment, with intent to procure the issuing
of such certificate, shall be punished.
The indictment charged the men with
conspiring to commit an offence against
section 5, 425, the offence consisting of
obtaining certificates for four Italians
by making false statements. The Judge
said he felt it his duty to call the
attention of counsel to the matter, so
as to get their views.
j. Harvey Whiteman, of counsel for
the accused, asked for a verdict of not
guilty, but Judge Bradford insisted
that there was nothing before the
court. District Attorney Byrne cited
several authorities to support his con-
tention that the indictment was good.
The judge declined to grant the re-
quest of the defence that the jury be
instructed to return verdict of not
guilty, ruling that there was nothing
before the court. Whereupon District
Attorney Byrne nolle pressed the case.
The jurors we're discharged until
Monday morning. Today was con-
sumed in argument on demurrers in
cases against De Lucca and Pietro
Melf. During the morning J. Frank
Ball and j. Harvey Whiteman, repre-
senting De Lucca, argued on the de-
murrer in the case against him. He is
charged in the indictment with max
ing false oaths to naturalization pa
pers. Counsel contended that the in
dietment was not sufficiently specific,
that it alleged that Mayo, the man
who received the papers, had not lived
In Delaware during the year preceding
the granting of the papers, whereas he
might have lived here year before
that time; also, that the person ad-
ministering the oath referred to was
not authorized to administer oaths in
such cases.

TRAINMEN WANT MORE WAGES.
But Their Movements in This Direction
win be Along Orderly Lines.


VIII be Along Orderly Lines.
Cleveland, o., Sept. 10 5--Grand Master
p. II. Morrissey Of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen today authorized the follow
ing official statement relative TO the move
ment to be insugurated on Western roads
by conductors and trainmen to obtain
higher wages:
"The different stories that are arising,
pertaining to movement on the part of
the conductors and trainmen in the western
country for raise of wages, are in the
main Inaccurate and misleading. They
probably grow out of the fact that an asso-
citation of the general committees of the
Order of Railway Conductors and the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, for this
territory. was formed at Kansas City in
June, at which time the question of in
creases of pay for men in train and yard
service was discussed.
1T is the general belief among the men
in these capacities, that on account of the
vastly changed conditions now as compared
with those in existence at the time the
present wage standards we're made, they are
entitled to somo additional compensation,
and they are now considering the propriety
of asking for it. But if anything is done
through these organizations in this direc-
tion, ID will be along orderly lines and in
accordance with the long established policies
and laws of the bodies affected. -

San Francisco, CAL, Sept. 15.-There was
a lively riot last night at the entrance to the
Preside reservation.
Police Lieutenant Kelly, with seven. pa
trolman. raidea the saloon of Press Ander-
son and arrested 80 soldiers and 10 civilians,
who were playing poker. Anderson was re-
fused license recently, but has been run
ming his place in defiance of the law. While
the police were making the arrests, crowd
of soldiers gathered and assailed them with
sticks, stones and brickbats. The police
welded their clubs vigorously, but with
little effect, and were finally forced to fire on
the uniformed mob. So far as known,
however, no one was hit.
While the rioting was at its height, an
alarm was sounded at the Presidio, and
three companies of infantry and one of
cavalry were sent to the Ecene. They sue

CourteOuSly Thanks His EXCellenGy for
Considering the Proposition
About Voters Assistants.
ASSUMES THAT THE MATTER
WILL BE REFERRED To JUDGES
Democrats Will Argue Ques-
ton If Called Upon.
INQUIRY OF THE Acknowledgement

Chairman Willard Salisbury of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
has made the following acknowledgment
of Gov. Hupn's reply to his letter re-
garding the constitutionality of the law
providing for voters assistants:
His Excellency, John HUM, Governor of
Delaware-Sir. Your favor of September
9th, in the matter of the unconstitutionality
of the act of 1901, authorizing voters as
sistants,is received, and it Is but proper that
qualification should be expressed that you
show your intention to be not to carry that
Objectionable act into effect until the ludges
of the State shall pass upon its validity.
If this, as | understand it, is your pur-
pose, you may be assured of the active sup
port of our organization in obtaining an
early adjudication of the constitutionality
of this law,
When you submit the question to the
chancellor and judges for their opinion, if
the attorney general shall differ with US as
to the validity of the act. as 1t is antici-
pated he may for the n hereinafter
stated, the Democrats wi prepared to
argue the case before them called upon,
The judges have undoubtedly the right to
call upon the lawyers OF the state to appear
and discuss the matter, amici curiHs and in
this way the Democratic and Union Repub-
lican contentious may be respectively upheld.
1t is manifestly proper to inquire of the
most eminent Union Republicans in the
legal profession, the attorney general,
whether he contends that the law is valid
for, if he admits its invalIdity, fancy you
would be justified in treating it as void for
reasons appearing on its face.
Especially is this true if,as | am informed
on most reliable authority, the attorney
general. by the weight of his opinion and
influence, secured for the passage of the law
through the State Senate the necessary vote
of Senator Ellison, who, with the Union Re-
publicans and Senator Farlow, made up the
number exactly and absolutely necessary to
pass the bill. That there may be no delay
in the matter of submission of the question
to the judges, l will have the necessary
briefs, containing all references to the vari-
Gus acts, prepared at once.
Respectfully,
Willard Salisbury,
Chairman of Democratic State Central Com
mittee.
