SURPRISED THE DEFENSE.
Masonicc Temple Case on Trial in
Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-The defense in
the Masonic Temple tax case was TAX
en- by surprise today when James B.
Hoy, one of the defendants, announc-
ed through his attorney that he would
be a witness for the state. A request
for a separate trial was made and
Judge Chetlain granted the motion.
1t was stated in court this morning
that Hoy called on States Attorney
Dineen last night and during the in
terview made a full confession of his
connection with and knowledge of the
Masonic Temple tax conspiracy

BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

Notwithstanding that they are pre-
sumably working together as a team
and that past differences were sup
posedly buried at Bozeman, the Stand
ard cannot refrain from m%anifesting
occasional symptoms Of unrest and
dissatisfaction with the new arrange
ments by now and then landing on the
short ribs of the Miner. While the
Standard cannot be said to kick over
the traces, yet it's gives it's Butte
ally plain notice that the new relations
existing between them are not such as
to warrant any familiarity on it's part
and that a line has been drawn across
which it would better not venture.
Evidence of this frame of mind on the
part of the Anaconda publication
crops out quite frequently.
a few days ago the Miner raised it's
voice in protest against the action of
the Heinzeites in having photographs
made-of vacant. buildings in the home
of the Standard for campaign pur-
poses, and after declaring it to Ee "a
grave injustice to the property owners
of Anaconda" it added: "The Ana
ccnda Standard seems to lack the
courage to defend it's own city against
these %outrages, and it %devolves upon
the Miner to take up the cudgel in
A%naconda's defense"
Now this was apparently just such
an opening as the Standard had been
looking for, as it gets back at its of
lowing refreshing manner:
Don't teal your shirt, neighbors
Anaconda isn'tin need Of any defense.
That empty picture business is an
old gag and a poor one. Two years
ago the Clark Campaign tried it. Pic
lures were taken of empty stores in
Anaconda and the Clark campaigners
used these as pointing the moral OF
the awful calamity that was right
ahead of Anaconda.
TT was a jackass performance two
years dSO, IL 3 tu0 SAME INV. II law
the Independent democrats, by their
lonesome selves, carried Anaconda, in
an election that sent a divided demo
cracy to the polls. This year the
united democracy will prevail handily
in Aanaconda, and the empty store
will be as impotent a campaign in
fluence as it was two years ago.
Things of that sort, in campaign days,
alarm Anaconda's business and real
estate interests not at all, not at all.
I'm any event, empty-store photo
graphs of Anaconda r as much in
the nature of lunatic factors in the
Heinze campaign this year as they
were in the Clark campaign two years
ago. The Standard did not pay any
attention to the pictures then; 1t is
not worrying over them now. The
Miner did not denounce them then;
it's proffered defense OF Anaconda is
superfuous now"

It would be interesting to know
what the members of the supreme
court really think of the democratic
newspapers that are day after day
charging them with being SO venal
and weak minded that in case of Judge
Holloway's election as their associate
on the bench he will cause them to
become corrupt and dishonest to the
extent Of deciding certain suits
brought before them all one way, re.
eardless Of the law and the demands

Speaking of the much Wanted
friendship of the republican party for
trusts, will some of the democratic
newspapers kindly explain why it is
that Morgan, Baer and others who
could be named and who are usually
suspected of being more or less con
nected with combines, are so anxious
that Grover Cleveland shall again oc-
cupy the white house?

1t is probably a small thing, in his
opinion, but the fact that the demo-
cratic candidate for congress stands
convicted of having employed Mon
golian labor when other kinds were
to be had is not calculated to raise
him in the estimation of the working
men of the state OF to impel them to
exceptional effort to vote for him.

The democratic remedy for settling
the strike and relieving the distress
caused thereby-government owner
ship OF the mines-is about on a par
with some Of the other cures the
party advocates for various ills. Have
any of those who are demanding gov
ernmental ownership ever stopped to
consider what would have to be done
before it could be accomplished, if at
all, and the length of time that would
necessarily have to elapse before the
government could enter into posses
sion? Have they thought OF the MANY
steps that would have to be taken
and the thousand and n causes Of
delay the operators could bring to
bear before anything more than the
preliminaries might be said to have
been settled? In the abstract and as
arguments of politicians of the Dave
Hill brand government ownership is
no doubt net only feasible, but COM
mendable, but as a concrete PROPOSE
ton to afford relief to the miners and
the public it will not stand the test.
Life is too 1eeting and the pangs of
hunger and cold too severe to make
possible survival of the %initiators of
the movement until such time as it
shall become an actuality.

While morally and reasonably sat
isfied of the existence of a trust in
the anthracite regions, the attorney
general of the United States is very
much in doubt as to his ability to es-
tablish the fact in a legal. manner.
The companies operating the mines
have been the beneficiaries CT some
very clever legal advice. Instead of
operating the mines directly, the rail
road companies owning them have
formed subsidiary corporations which
do the mining. While in fact and rea-
son one, yet under the law the parent
and the. offshoot are separate and
distinct corporations and to be re-
garded as such. Realizing the utter,
futility of attempting to proceed
against the offenders under the inter
state law, the attorney general is said
to have advised the president not to
institute proceedings against the COM
panies. The findings of Mr.. Knox
only further prove the Oft heard as
serticn that violation of the laws is
possible and comparatively easy if
the intending ~violator but secures the
services of a shrewd lawyer to advise
him before he attempts his violation.

The SOLONS FORGOT
No Appropriation in Iowa for Fish
and Game Warden.
OMISSION WAS JUST DISCOVERED
Warden Is Certain of His SALARY,
but Hasn't a Cent to
Work On.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, April 15.-State Fish

Cedar Rapids, can now go way back and
sit down. For The next two years he
Will lave absolutely nothing to do but
draw his salary. In the rush and hustle
of windir- IN the session and seeing, to
II that no railway assessment hilhs were
pas sed, the general assembly forgot to
make the usual $4,000 appropriation for
the state fish and game commission.
The omission was not discovered until
last evening. Mr.. Lincoln then wired to
Secretary Dawson OF the executive coun-
Gil, asking how much was appropriated
for TIE feh and game commission. Mr..
DAWSON could not recollect and went up,
stairs 20 he governors Office. Here
there was no record Of any such bill hav-s
ing been received and after di]igent
search into all the records at hand,@lMr,
Dawson became convinced no such APP
preparation had been made. He wired
the Iheartreltling facts to Mr.. Lincoln,
VINO is expected to come down to Des
Moines en- the next train and to enter on
an investigation to find at what par
ticular stage OF it's career the bill ran
aground. 1t was passed in the house
and then reported for passage by the sem
ate appropriation committee. At the
senate bill, was reported fer indefinite
rostponement That is the last trace of
the bill that can be found. N
The salary of Mr. Lincoln is vi 200 The
statute that fixes this does not, however,
provide for his expenses. Consequently
lie can do nothing as to the enforcement
CT the fish and game laws. There is no
provision for the payment of expenses of
deputies ard hence they will do nothing.
The bill as 1t passed the house provided
for $1,000 for gathering FISH at Sabula.
SIS 000 for the protection, distribution and
reproduction of fish and $4,000 for the
protection CT game in the biennial period.
Out of these appropriations, all expenses
Of the fish and game warden and his depu-
ties for protecting fish and game were
intended to come. Now absolutely moth
ing can be done. Tie fish ponds at Sa-
bula will go to rack and ruin and the in

stocked. What makes the oversight the

STICKS BY RATHBONE.
Senator Believes an Innocent Man
Was Convicted.
RATHBoNE SOON OUT ON BAIL
Cuban Judges Found Him Guilty ON
Insufficient Evidence, 1t
Is Claimed.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, April 15.-Walter Wellman
says in his Washington correspondence to
the Record Herald this morning: Sena-
tor Hanna to day won the first round n
his fight for his friend Rathbone. With
in day or two Major Rathbone will be
released from prison In Havana. This
afternoon a telegram was sent to Gov
srnor Wood from the war department by
instruction Of President Roosevelt, order
Ing the acceptance Of a bond for bail for
Rathbone's appearance. .s..
Several days ago Senator Hanna ar
ranged with the Fidelity Bonding COM
pany Of Baltimore to guarantee the $780,
600 bail which the court had demanded.
The court refused, to accept the Fidelity
as security and asked that cash deposit
Of 500, 900 be made before Rathbone was
released from prison. When this report
was made to him Senator Hanna replied,
with a good deal of emphasis, that he
would not put up 100000 to be placed in
the control of the Cuban courts, for If he
did he should want some good guar
Entee, better than any one is able to
furnish at the present time, that in case
he produced his man when wanted the
money in turn should be forthcoming.

the order which Secretary Root to-day
sent Governor Wood. The bond of the

Major Rathbone will walk out of jail
Senator Hanna's earnest stand for his
friend has attracted attention throughout
the country. Hundreds of letters and
kilograms are pouring in upon him, COM
mending his course. Many of the writer's
say they don't know whether Rathbone is
innocent or guilty, but they like a man
who sticks up for his friend in an hour
Of trouble.
Mr.. Hanna is more than ever convinced
Of Rathbone's innocence. He has per-
Sonally interviewed Americans who at
tended the trial every day and who de-
evidence that Rathbone was guilty of
stealing or embezzing, and that the case
brought against him would not have Sc
cured the conviction Of a tramp in an
American police court. Three American
newspaper men who watched the trial say
Rathbone was convicted unjustly, and
that he could not have been convicted at
all had it not been for the influence
which Governor Wood exercised upon the
court. The five judges who tried the
case there before no jury were all ap-
pointees of Wood, After his bail has
been accepted Ftathbone will wait till
President Palma takes Office and then de-
mand a new trial.

Special to The Journal.
Yankton, S. D., April 15.-Night Police
man Childish had narrow escape from be-

had worn through the bolt by which 1t
was suspended and dropped to the cupola
floor below. Mr.. Childish. hearing the

force. When he recovered he investigated
and found that the bell was lying in con-
tact with a live wire, the covering o.
