ST. LOUIS, Jan. 27.-This evening
bench warrants were served on Emil A.
Mysenberg, member of the city council;
Charles Kratz, ex-member Of the city
council, and John K. Murrell, ex-mem-
ber of the house of delegates, in connec-
ton with an alleged bribery case in
which the Suburban City Railway COM

000 was deposited in a safe deposit box
by the Suburban Railway company,
$4,000 of which was to be paid 10 the
house of delegates, and $60,0OO to the city
council, in case a bill for the extension
of the Suburban railway franchise was
passed and became law. The council
passed the measure, but a writ of prohi
hition from the supreme court stopped
it in the house.
AS there were two keys. 1t was said,
to the safety deposit bOx-one held by the
railway representative, and one by the
political combine-no one has been able
to get the money.
1t Is said that the grand pury has

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.-At a meet

city Rev. George H. Buckley read a, pa

Of Prof. Charles w. Pearson, of North

toned the truth of miracles mentioned in
the Bible. a general discussion ollowed.
resulting in the denunciation of several
text bookJ now in use in the Methodist
theological seminaries.
DR.. j. II. King, of New York, one OF
the secretaries of the board of church ex-
tension, said: st respect the board OF
bishops, but that respect does not lead
me to favor their action when by a ma
jority of one they unseated Prof Mitch
ell in the Boston Theological seminary.
and by that vote struck at the divinity of
Jesus Christ. DR.. Mitchell is a more dan
eerous man than is Prof Pearson. be-
cause he is the more learned. Prof Pear
son can easily be answered, but DR.
Mitchell is not to be disposed Of so read
lily. The place for an honest man who
does not believe in the fundamental teacb-
lngs he promised to uphold is out of the
fold. He may then criticise the Bible if
he has mind to-
If it was decided to bring DR.. Mitcheu's

of What He Saw.
Special to The Globe,

Special to The Globe.
GRAND FORKS, N. ID, Jan Z.-In
the West trial today the first thing on
the programme was the argument CT the
motion that the state be required to place
on the stand as witnesses Frank Shell
burne and Harry Blackburn, who were
present in the Prescott on the evening Of
the shooting, and who heard the CONVEX
sation in which March is said to have
used offensive language toward West,
and to avoid which West left the place
for the Dacotah and was followed by
March. The court stated that the mat
ter would be decided when the states
other evidence was all in, as it could then
be determined whether or not this testi-
mony was material.
The cross examination Of w. B. Wood
was then resumed. Mr.. Wood did not
vary from his testimony given on Satur-
day in any of it's general features, but
he was kept busy for several hours try
ing to recall from his observation and
memory the time which the quarrel and
shooting required, and the number of feet
that intervened between the two men at
the several stages of the affair." In this he
became somewhat confused,and he did not
claim HAT his memory or observa alton
was accurate on all points.
This Man saw 1t All.
J. H. Campbell, a representative Of the
Van Brunt DrilK company. was the next
witness. In the main 1t was repetition
of the story told by Wood where the
same portions Of the tragedy were seen
by both. In some details it was different.
Wood had his back to March. Campbell
could see both men. He stated that after
March was .jerked away from West by
WOOD he did not advance. but backed up,
and that he had moved about ten feet
before he was shot When the shot was
fired March was standing still. West had
advanced about ten feet and had the re-
volver raised, not from his shoulder. but
from the elbow, when he fired. He kept
his eyes fixed on March. After the shot
March said: Pm hit. Shoot again. I'll
die game.
He heard West say afterward: Il
couldn't help it. I laid down my paper
and came away from the Prescott to get
away from him. / ought to have shot
again."
Witness placed the distance between
the men as fifteen to eighteen feet, but
did not profess to be certain He left the
stand just before adjournment.
There was big crowd present all day.
There have been few Interruptions
caused by counsel, and no long argu-
ments as to the admissibility Of evil
dence.

MERRIAM HAVING
A MERRY TIME
DISCHARGED CENSUS CLERKS MAX
IN GLIFE A BURDEN
Senator's and COngressmen Are Zee
ing Chased to the Front in
Vain Effort to Save Jobs
for Constituents.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. C.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 27.-Census
Director Merriam is having the warmest
time in his political career. He is trying
to lay off employees in his department,
but the clerks decline to be laid off, and
every other day about sixty of them get
after their senators and representatives
and beg them to go to the front and keep
them in their jobs. The director turns
them down rcmorselessly and then they
get hot
Some say he is playing favorites, and
that clerks with strong pulls are kept In
service and will be retained in the per
manent bureau when congress passes the
bill to make the department permanent,
if it does. Every man or woman who is
laid off is begging for reinstatement just
long enough to be included in the perma-
nent force and perhaps transferred to
some other department.
Disgruntled members are threatening
Merriam with removal, and it is announc-
ed that a score of them expect to march
in parade to the White house and de-
mand his decapitation; but after all a
man up tree sees that this is just a
grand-stand business for the sake of
vote-getting in disericts OF members
whose favorites have to walk the plank.

DEMOCRATS PROTESTING
MINORITY REPORT on PHILIPPINE
TARIFF BILL
Takes the Ground That 1t Is UncOn-
stitutionai to Attempt to Hold
VassaI PROVINCES Across
the Seas.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Car
mack today submitted minority report
from, the committee on the Philippine
tariff bill It says that opposition to the
measure is not based on any mere ques-
ton Of revenue or any: theory concerning
forms and principles of taxation, but be-
cause the bill violates constitutional
rights and transcends the limits Of con-
stitutional power.
The objection OF the minority is to the
whole policy of colonial empire, to the
control by this government or vassaI
provinces, to the spirit of military ag-
gressfon and of war for the sake OF
spoils. The report says that the bill re-
ported by majority Of the committee is
a Characteristic manifestation of such a
policy and spirit.

For the State
Atty. Gen. Douglas,
M. D. Mum.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. c.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 27. - The
supreme court today heard arguments on
the question of jurisdiction in the case
which Attorney General Douglas and
others are attempting to bring against
the Northern Securities company. 1t will
consider the matter for several weeks be
fore determining whether to permit the
bill to be filed. The railroads were rep
resented by ex-Attorney General John w
Griggs, of New Jersey, and w. 3. Guth-
rie, Of New York.
If anything can be inferred frorn the
questions asked by the justices the court
is not at all certain to permit the bill to
be filed Justices White and Brown both
asked frequently why the petitioners did
not go to the state courts and make use
Of the same processes there. The reply OF
Attorney General Douglas was that 1t was
not possible to get service on defendants
in Minnesota, but Attorney Mum an
swered differently. He said they wanted
the moral effect of adverse action by the
supreme court, at which frank admis-
sion the counsel for the Northern Securi-
ties company smiled broadly.
The lawyers from Minnesota left for
home tonight. They declined to say for
publication anything more than that they
were hopeful but their manner and pri-
vate speech beied that statement.
Chief Justice Fuller announced that the
argument upon this motion would be
heard later in the day, as soon as the
hearing in the case under consideration
could be completed.
When the preceding case had been COM
pleted Attorney General Douglas was
recognized to make his argument in sup
port of the motion for leave to file his
bill of complaint.
Mr.. Douglas made the following points
in support of the right of the state to
file an original suit in this court:
The complaint bases its request for
leave to file and present its bill of COM
plant upon section 2, article III, of the
Constitution of the United States, which
grants original jurisdiction to this court
in all controversies between states and
between a state and citizen of another
state; also upon congressional enactment
relating thereto-section 6S7 ct sea- Re-
vised Statutes of the United States.
RIGHT OF THE STATE
ASSERTED BY DOUGLAS.
The right of a state to invoke the jur-
erty and individual rights and interests
in an action against citizens of sister
states has long been recognized. The
state of Minnesota owns upward of g.,
| O00,000 acres of land within its
limits, which is near to, or in
the territory alone traversed by
the two railways in question; and the
state is dependent almost entirely upon
those roads for the development of this
land and the furnishing of transportation
facilities to the same. The value of these

She Pulled the Fire Alarm
Thinking 1t Was a Letter
Box.

Alarm No. 1872 was sent in to Fire
Headquarters and the First Precinct
station house abotu 1.25 o'clock this
afternoon. Assistant Chief Lowell jump
ed into his gig and was rapidly driven
to the corner of Montgomery and varick
streets, where that box is located. Cap
tain Cody of the First Precinct with
patrol wagon full of reserves arrived
simultaneously with three fire engines
and two hook and ladder companies. No
one in the neighborhood knew where the
fire was.
Assistant Chief Lowell had noticed a
woman running up Mercer street as he
was answering the alarm, and the fact
was brought back to him vividly when a
little boy stepped up to him and said -

Postofice Clerk Gets Five
Years for Trying tc Kill
His Wife.

William D. Grady, the Post Office
clerk who deliberately shot his young
wife because she refused to live with
him, and who was convicted Of atroc;ous
assault in the Court of General Sessions
last week. was this morning sentenced by
Judge Blair to five years in State Prison.
In imposing sentence the Court said
"You are fortunate that you are not
here on a conviction for murder. There
is no doubt Of your guilt nor is there any
doubt as to the serious character of your
crime. The extreme penalty for the
crime you committed is twelve years and
$1,000 fine. While the Court is disposed
to impose the full penalty it will not do
so and the sentence of the law is that you
be confined in State Prison for term Of
Eve years and thence until costs are
paid"
Grady apparently realized his position
while the Court was pronouncing sen
tence. He listened attentively and there
was no attempt at assuming the indiffer-
ence so conspicuous in his actions at the
trial.
