Jury In the case. The words of Judge
Lewis ought to be written In letters or
gold and pondered by every American
citizen. "There are in our country indi-
viduals, not, | hope in very large num-
bers, but scattered all over our country,
who think that In II case like this. or
even In charges of much less degree 1t
is entirely proper that the case should
he disposed OF by mob law. We can
hardly take up n paper without we learn
that i'm some part of this free country,
some man has been murdered on the sus-
picion that he was guilty of some crime.
1t Is charged here that our client Is an
anarchist, a man who does not believe
In any law, or In any form OF govern
ment. We all feel that such doctrines are
dangerous, are criminal. are doctrines
that will subvert our government in time,
II they are allowed to prevail. Gentle
men, Of the jury while / believe firmly
In that, I do not believe 1t creates dan
ger 70 this country equal to the bclief
that men who are charged with crime,
shall not be permitted to go through the
form of a trial In a court of justice but
that lynch law shall take the place of the
calm and dignifed administration of the
law of our courts of justice. When that
doctrine becomes sufficiently prevalent in
this country. If It ever does, our insti-
tutions will be overthrown, and If we are
not misinformed as to the state of mimi
of people in some parts of our country,
the time is fast approaching when men
charged with crime will not be permi0ed
to come into court and submit to calm
and dignifed trial. but will be strung up
to a tree on the bare suspicion that some
one may hold that they have committed
some crime.
l submit that they are a more danger
Gus class to the community than the an.
archists about whom we read so much.
Now 1t is the duty of every American
citizen, of every good man. to stand firm
ly by the law and put his voice against
any idea that a man should be punished
for any crime until he is proven guilty.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

Every time capital violates a sacred
agreement with labor, oppresses by vio-
lation of law, or labor puts its will above
law. and seeks to tear down the sacred
aegis that protects fellow-labor in its
God-given right to work when it pleases
and where it pleascs, and for what wages
it Dleases. it ranges itself on the side of
the anarchist who strikes down remorse-
lessly the representatives of law and orr
der and government and exposes life it
self to the dagger. l congratulate you,
men of the Thirteenth that we are to
have some part in settling this question,
which will never be settled till every
American citizen. living under the folds
of the Stars and Stripes, can order his
own life, under the law. without let or
hindrance. l tell you. friends, in these
valleys the flag is hidden behind the
clouds. and we are to tear away these
clouds and let the sunshine fall upon
our fair. national banner.
Oh, friends. citizens, patriots. there is
enough to give us pause In the actual
condition of things permitted by us with
scarcely protest. We must recognize
Gods claims upon us. We must care
fully cherish and guard the flag that
stands for liberty safe-guarded by law.
The flag for which men gave their lives
willingly-the flag purified by the blood
of the fathers and sons of '1G and 81 and
'9S. The red flag must be torn down, and
no word or act of yours or mine, or fail
ure to speak or act when the time is ripe
for 1t must help to give it to the breeze.
The red flag must go down. And the
Stars and Stripes, best in home life. state
life and national life, stand for all that
is holiest and listen to the voice that
speaks in thunder tones from Bunker
Hill, and Gettysburg, and San Juan Hill,
and the far off Philippines:

CORPORATIONS RESPONSIBLE
FOR RATE CUTTING
Mr.. Bird Concludes His Testimony on
Interstate Commerce Bill Before
House Committee.

Mr.. A. C. Bird, third vice president Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail-
road Company, yesterday completed his tes-
timony on the interstate commerce bill
before the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce.
He reiterated his belief that the re-
sponsibility for rate-cutting. and the Civ
ing Of secret rates should be placed. not
with the traffic officers. but with the cor
porations themselves. He said that the
traffic officers we're gentlemen who would
not willingly violate regulations, and that
If the direct responsibility were placed
upon the corporations, it would be to their
interest to discover evasions Of other roads
and report them. t
He pointed out that the roads had vast
forces Of men constantly in the field, and
that while their individual information
might not amount to very much, taken as
a whole II was Of the greatest Importance
He said that he. and others in his posi-
tion. had personal friends all over the
country, and that he could not bring him
self to report them, if guilty of such Of
lenses, but that IL the responsibility lay
with the corporations. he would not have
the slightest hesitancy, as the member of
the one corporation, in reporting the
evasions of other corporations.

and that a public park would not only
add to the beauties the place. but it
would be source OF pleasure and COM
fort to the citizens.
The members of the committee were
much interested in General Dudley's state
ment and seemed impressed by what he
said.
The bill authorizes and directs the Dis
trict Commissioners to purchase GER
tain parcel of land. containing number
of large oak trees. located in the subdivi-
sion Of Langdon, District of Columbia, and
bounded by Detroit and Emporia Streets
and Queens Chapel Road and Twentieth

land has been transferred to the Govern
mcnt the land is to be dedicated to the
uses of n public park. christened Langdon
Park and be improved and cared for I'M
der the same regulations as the other
parks in the District Of COLUMBIA.
Twenty thousand dollars is appropriated
to pay for the land, one-half to be paid
out of the revenues of the District of
Columbia, ard the other half by the
United tSatcs.

POLL OF HOUSE AGAINST
CRUMPACKER RESOLUTION
Many Republicans Opposed to Stirring
Up Trouble Which Will Not Be Fol-

complete canvass of the Republican
side OF the House has been made on the
Crumpacker resolution providing for an
investigation Of the State election laws.

would be impossible to secure the pas
sage Of the resolution at this time.
number of The Republicans, especially
from the South, are opposed to taking up
this matter at all. Others would favor
action in the premises in case they were
sure the report of the committee pro-
yided for in the Crumpacker resolution
wouli be followed by appropriate legis-
lation looking toward the reduction of
representation in States where the suf-
frage laws were found to be in conflict
with the United States Constitution. but

Mr.. Mcmillan Promises to
Amend the District Ap-
preparation Bill.
HEARS APPEAL OF ADVOCATES
Provision for Purchase of Site and To-
ward Erection of Building-JudiciaIy
Square Suggested as Desirable Loca-
ton for Building.

There is 4 chance for a new Business
High School building in the near future.
Senator Mcmillan yesterday promised a
delegation OF Business High School ad-
vocates that he would introduce an
amendment to the District appropriation
bill providing 500 900 for site for the
building.
The delegation consisted OF Mr.. Allan
Davis. principal of the school; Mr.. James
E. West, president of the alumni asso-
citation. and Mr.. Paul E. Sleman. chair
man OF the committee on school Interest,"
Argument of p t.. y
Senator Mcmillan. it presenting good
argument for the building, citing fine
buildings occupied by business high schools
in other cities as examples. and pointing
out the disadvantages of the present
structure.
The alumni association has prepared an
exhaustive bound volume containing hun
dreds of pages of letters from prominent
educators. illustrations of other build
ings. statistics Of educational facilities
elsewhere. and other pertinent matters.
This the delegation showed to Mr.. Nc
MILAN and later to other Senators of the
District Committee.
The Business High School plan was de-
feated in 1895. but the alumni association
believes that this was because 1t was not
pushed.
For Site and Toward Building.
The amendment as it will be introduced
by Mr.. Mcmillan will provide that 100000
shall be appropriated ''for a site and
toward the erection of building" No
site will be named in the amendment and
none has been chosen by the Business
High School advocates.
1t is understood, however. that their
preference is for site near the center of
population OF the city or in the vicinity
of Judiciary Square.

much.
The following provision of the bill was
stricken out on point of order as being
new legislation:
That hereafter when differences arise
in the rendition. examination. or settle
ment of the accounts of the disbursing Of
flcer of the District of Columbia which
would seem to render necessary the sus-

sent in explanation such facts or argu-
ments as may. in his opinion. tend to the
prevention or removal OF such suspension

When the provision for the water sup
ply was reached. Mr.. Palmer (Rep., Pal
made some semi-facetious remarks upon
the subject of Potomac water. He added
that there was n great waste of water
and mud in the District. a view which
was concurred in by Mr. Newlands. who
also made brief statement upon the sub
iect.
Mr. Palmer thought the appropriation
for a sand filtration plant was far too
large, but he did not offer an amendment
TO reduce it. The statement of Colonel
Miller, in charge of the water supply, had
alone been accepted upon the question, he
said
Salaries for Police Justices.
Mr.. McCleary offered an amendment,
which was adopted without debate. pro-
viding salaries of $2OG0 each for the jus

Patterson Amendment and
Hansbrough Substitute
Discussed.
COMMITTEE TAKES NO ACTION
Railways Submit Proposed Amendment
Extending Use Of Station to Existing
Lines-Argument Against Grant CT
Privilege to Future Built Roads.

The Senate District Committee devoted
its meeting yesterday to the considera-
ltion of the union railway station bill and
the proposed substitute of Senator Hans
'brough providing that the District shall
build its own station.
Patterson Amendment Discussed
The Patterson amendment to the COM
tmittee bill was again discussed at length.
but no decision was reached regarding it.
The Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
ohio railways propose an amendment
which will provide specifically that all ex-
listing steam railways shall have the right
10 use the union station and terminal ia
Utilities In the same way that the Southern
lines are now accommodated. They do not
wish the amendment to go so far as that
OF Mr.. Patterson in providing for any lines
that may be built in the future. num-
Der of members of the committee are in
favor Of the railway companies plan. but
NO vote was taken.
4 Railways Submit Arguments.
The railways have communicated to the
committee their idea OF an amendment. and
have also made their argument against
the Patterson plan. They state that
Congress will have every right to allow
new roads to use the station in the flu
ture. and that this should be sufficient for
all practical purposes. They contend that
to 90 further at this time would be SIM
ply to throw down the bars and invite
unnecessary and Improbable competition
and attempt at blackmail from adventur-
ers with cheap charters.
Senator Hansbrough made brief state
ment in favor OF his bill for a station to
be owned by the District, but the plan
was given no discussion by the committee.

SUFFRAGE In North CAROLINA
Consideration of Bill-Categorical
Question Evaded-Final Reading of
Sundry Civil Bill Continued

The supposed discussion of the Philip
pines bill in the Senate yesterday had
very little and very remote relation to the
measure.
Senator Pritchard began TO make
speech on the subject. but he became in
volved in a long and. at times. rather
heated debate on North Carolina politics
with his colleague.
They continued to exchange reminis-
cences and determinations during the en-
tire afternoon until the Senate gave up
the attempt to talk Philippines and be-
gan the final lap in the reading of the
sunery civil bill
MIR. Pntchard Asserts His Policy.
Mr. Pritchard began by reading from
the Charlotte. n. C.. Observer" the
vicksburg Herald" and other Southern
papers to support his contention that in
the South a large number of influential
people favored the policy of expansion
and the retention of the Philippines. Mr..
Pritchard said he could not speak for his
party, but individually he desired the per
manent retention of the Philippines.
was already settled and that now the only
question was whether the bill reported
by the majority of the Philippine Com
mittee should pass the Senate. He de-
clared himself heartily in favor of the
bill and expressed his belief that ma
jority of the Southern people was in favor
of it.
This gave the Democrats an opening,
and three of them, at least. including Mr..
Simmons, wished TO inquire of Mr.. Pritch-
ard II he is in favor of ali educational and
property qualification for outrage in the
Philippines Desite their attempts. they
did not succeed In securing categorical
answer, yes or no." to the question.
As Temporary Expedient.
"As a temporary expedient, and until
a census can be taken TO let me know
what the conditions are in the islands, I
am In favor OF this BILL was the near
est he would approach to an assertion Of
his conviction on this delicate question.
The pertinence of the inquiry was, of
course, that Mr.. Pritchard has been a
strong upholder of free and unqualified
suffrage in North Carolina, and bitterly
opposed to the various Limitation schemes
adopted in the South.

assertion that the recent history OF his
State was full OF all kinds OF cures" ap
piled to Republicans who wished TO vote
and were cured of their desire. He de-
scribed the sand cure as tho driving
of colored mans head into the sand and
then beating him until he promised not
to vote.
Black Belt Vote Statistics.
Mr.. Pritchard also read statistics OF the
vote cast in one election in the BLACK
Belt" of his State. The vote showed a
heavy majority for Bryan, although the
negro voters OF the district outnumberod
the whites.
Mr. Pritchard said he did not wish 10
accuse the Democrats Of stealing all these
votes, but that If they die not the negroes
very evidently voted the Democratic
ticket In view Of these statistics. he
suggested that IL was unfair for Mr.. Sim
mons 10 talk of negro Republican domina-
