Helena, March 2l.--rhe first point In
the controversy In the supreme court
In the Minnie Healey case today was
won by Miles Finlen, when, after short
recess, the court ovefruled the objection
of Judge McHatton to the introduction
OF testimony, and after A. j. shores had
explained what was intended, chief JUS
tice Brantly said;
Go ahead with IT,"
Just then the court took n recess unttl
1880 y. m.
The time OF this forenoon was devoted
to arguments upon the legal questions
involved In the presentation of the tes-
t'mony as to whether Judge Harney of
Butte had complied with the mandate of
the supreme court directing him TO de-
eide the motion for n new trial.
The contention of the lawyers for
Miles FInlen Is that If Judge Harney can
be shown to have swept away the record
consisting of certain sensational ani-
davits IN the case, before he rendered his
decision. his decision was a nnillty TO all
intents and purposes. II was upon that
point that evidence was sought to be In

He contended that no replication to

filed, that the issue had not been set
out and that II would be improper to
take testimony in that connection.
He stated four grounds for hs obJee-

New York, January a6.--A Washington
special to the Herald says.
President Roosevelt has been asked TO
take sides in the struggle in congress over
the route for the proposed isthmian canal.
He is not likely to do SO. hut his position
on this question can be accurately stated
because he has made it clear in convcrsa-
tons with senators and others.
The president earnestly hopes for canal
legislation. He does not want congress to
adjourn without passing bill authorizing
the beginning of work He thinks the
time has come when the first step should
be taken, and that there is no call for fur
ther delay and examination. He has his
own ideas as to the better route and I'M
queshonably believes that Panama offers
the best advantage
| His position is that Il Il can not be Pan
| anna il must be Nicaragua. lie has no sym
! patty with the extremists who, on one side,
are for Nicaragua or nothing and on the
other for Panama or nothing So eager is
| he for the beginning OF work that he
would welcome bin for n route that he
does not consider the best rather than
have the matter put over to future ses-
sion OF congress. lie takes this position
because he thinks that by either route a
canal can be constructed within the limits
OF the estimates,
The president does not think congress
ought to throw the selection of route on
him. He would doubtless meet the respon-
sibnity, II he had TO, but he believes that
the selection OF a route belongs to con
gress At tho same time those who have
had the opportunity Of talking with the
president on this subject are convinced
that the desire OF Mr. Roosevelt Tor cana
action IS so genuine that he would take
the burden Of fixing the route II he could
not get legislation otherwise
But what the president docs not want tc
see is a deadlock between Panama and
Nicaragua He knows that there are in
fuences at work TO bring about such re-
suit. lie hopes they will be defeated He
will do nothing that can be construed into
taking sides with either faction, and his
influence will be in the direction OF action
not delay

81 make the further point that in cases
of contested elections a man draws his
salary anywhere from twelve to twenty
two months before his case is decided. and
in the event that he is thrown out dur
ing all that time the district is msrepre-
sented. and lastly, contend that a Con-
gress which has been turned down by the
people should never be permitted to count
the vote for the election of President and
Vice President of the United States
Mr.. Shafroth said it was fortunate cir
cumstance that in the case of the Hayes
Tilden contest the House was Democratic
and the Senate Republican, as this fact
brought about the Electoral Commission,
whereas IL either party had been in ma
jority in both houses. and had arbitrarily
seated its candidate, revolution would
have resulted A repetition OF these con-
ditions was liable to occur at any time
Mr.. Shafroth said that he was not op-
posed to a change in the date Of inau-
guration. and that he did not believe leg
islation would be affected by having Con-
gress convene in January. even IL the
President did not take his seat until the
following April.
Without action the joint resolution
went over until next Friday.

''In the first place" said Mr.. Shafroth.
"the meeting of Congress two months
after its election expresses the fresh
sentiment of the people. 1t voices their
latest opinions upon public policy.
in the second place. as now constituted
by law. after Congress has been turned
down by popular vote. 1t continues to
enact legislation--that is. at the second
session. That, believe is misrepresenta-
ton.
Further, individual members, after
they have been turned down. still
appear at the second session and
legislate as the representatives Of
the people who have repudiated them.
Under such circumstances the ordi-
nary man is not in a fit frame of mind to
Iegislate in behalf of the people who have
refused 10 indorse him.
Again, when man has been turned
down by his constituents the future
is apt to look gloomy. and II there
ever was a time when man would
do anything improper, it is upon
an occasion such as this. do
not mean to say that any members of
Congress are dishonest, but / only wish
to emphasize the fact that the tempta-
ton TO misrepresent his constituency
would be greater.

Mr.. HANNA TO AID RATHB0NE.
The Senator Declares His Friend to Be
Innocent of Crime.

Senator Hanna says he will take steps
TO show the world that his friend. Estes
G. Rathbone. Is an innocent man, DELHI
erately prosecuted by Governor General
Wood. He says he has documentary evil
dence to prove that the military governor
swayed the court that convicted the di-
rector general Of posts in Cuba.
James X. Campbell, formerly governor
Of Ohio, and cousin OF Rathbone, will
probably be the counsel in chief who will
fight to re-establish Rathbones good
name.
1.-THE conviction of Rathbone was Sc
cured mainly upon the testimony Of
Reeves. a perjured Witness" said a man
who is very close 10 the Senator.
Mr.. Hanna has a great mass OF papers
bearing upon the case. and as soon as pos
sible he will lso over them with an attor-
ney and sift out the important from the
unimportant ones, in order to have some
thing to work with before the courts. The
Senator has not yet decided what his first
step will be, or exactly when 1t will be
taken.
Rathbone will remain In Havana. OF
course, as his bail will not allow him to
leave the island. The Senator's duties
will not allow him to be present at the
proceedings Of the trial when they are
heard, but he will employ the best legal
talent obtainable. and will stand by Rath-
bone. 1t is stated. until the end.

The joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution so as to
change the date OF Inauguration from
March to the last Thursday in April
was considered yesterday by the House
Judiciary Committee.
An argument in favor OF amending the
resolution so as to have the terms of
members OF Congress begin in January
following their election instead OF year
after they are chosen, was made by Rep
resentative Shafroth OF Colorado.
Mr.. Shafroth said the present system
was obsolete. 1t was relic OF the time
when months passed before all the cleo
ton returns could be obtained, and It re-
quired months to journey from one end Of
the country to the other to attend the
session of Congress. There was now no
reason, he said. why Congress should wait
thirteen months after its election before
it assembled to carry out the wishes of
the people.
Mr.. Shafroth advanced five specific
arguments in behalf of his proposition.
He declared that inasmuch as it was pro-
posed to amend the Constitution with re-
spect to the terms of members. the
amendment ought TO be framed SO as to
produce some beneficial results.
