NO NEWS OF THE BRICK
Gold Slug That IL Worth $s3,5Oo Has Go:
Away from an Express
Compauy.


Detroit, March 2O.-No arrests have
been made as yet in connection with
the mysterious disappearance Thurs
day night from the Union station Office
of the Pacific and Dominion Express
company Of bar of gold in transit
from Salt Lake City to the east, when
is valued at $500. The whereabouts
of the precious ingot is as much of a
mystery now as it was yesterday when
the police began work on the case
Captain Mcdonnell, chief of detec-
tives, says he has nothing to give out
on the matter; that no one is under
arrest, and that until something more
definite could be told the police would
not talk about the case
No one else will talk. The missing
ingot was enc of four, weighing
about eighty pounds each, that were
in transit from the west They all
reached here safely, were put away
in the safe and taken out when their
train was due. But that train was
an hour and half late and the bars
were not put back in the safe mean
time. Consequently somebody ''swiped'
one.

attack on the president yesterday was
one Of the most bitter made so far
by the senators who disapprove Of
Roesevelt's position as to the color
line. Money said Of the president 1--WE
don't consider him great American
president" Further along he said the
president had raised the question Of
social equality of the negro, but there
could never possibly be any social
equality between the two races. There
is a race prejudice in the SOUTH" he
said, "and thank God that there is. !"
Replying to Foraker he said that
these recent appointments have re-
vived the race question, and while the
people Of the south had heretofore toll
Grated negro officeholders they did not
want any more Of them. This is a
white mans country and a white
mans government" said he. 1T has

CASE OF THE WABASH
Stated to the Court ct St. Louis
by the Attorney of the
Railroad.
AFFIDAVIT READING Is FINISHED
Anthracite Strike Commission Com.
pletes Its Report and Will Pub
lish 1t Saturday.

st. Louis, March 19.-Aff1davits
were finished and arguments COM
menced late yesterday afternoon in the
Wabash injunction suit Colonel Wells
II. Blodgett, the leading counsel for
the railroad, was the first to address
the court, and after he had spoken for
for the day. In opening his argu-
ment Colonel Blodgett declared: "Our
contention is that the employees of the
Wabash road are not dissatisfied, that
no alleged grievances originated with
them, but with the defendants in this
case"
"Union" and "Non- Union" Roads.
The speaker then read in full the
charges made against the officers and
members of the two labor organiza-
TORS i'm the original bill of complaint
emphasizing the points he expected to
prove. 1T is important" he declared.
after reading from the bill, that it
should be understood what is meant
Dy union road 1t is a road where
committees of labor organizations are
recognized and contracted with -
where written agreements ere signed
by the men or their representatives
and by the managers of the road. A
non-union road formulctes its own
rules and schedules, and posts them
where they may be seen. There are
no signed agreements.
Origin OF the Grievances.
'"The first point which wish to dis
cnss is whether the defendants in this
case conspired to injure the Wabash
railroad in order to bring about the
recognition of their union" Colonel
Blodgett then read numerous extracts
from the record which he asserted
showed that the two organizations,
working together demanded recogni-
ton and threatened trouble in case it
was denied them. I'VE claim that the
grievances said to exist on the Wa
bash road originated with the de-
PENDANTS in ibis case and not with any
Of the employees of the company"

Indianapolis, March 21.-The consti-
tutionality of the law requiring wages
to be paid weekly was orally argued
before the supreme court yesterday.
This law also forbids the payment
OF wages in anything else but mon
ey, and the assignment of wages to
be earned in the future. which feat
ures of the act have already been held
to be constitutional by the supreme
court in cases recently decided. The
decisions upon both of these questions
were incidentally attacked by appel
lants' counsel in argument. and it was
also urged that even if both of those
features of the law shall be upheld
the one requiring weekly payments of
wages must still be held invalid.
Two Points of Attacks.
1t was urged that the act violates
the state and federal constitutions in
that it interferes with the right of pri-
vate contract, and that it unrea soma
bly, singles cut a particular class for
the favor of the law and another class
upon whom burdens are imposed. The
fact that laborers have been special
ly favored by previous laws was de-
clared to be no ground for UNFOLDING
this law unless ii also is free from
conflict with the constitution, as the
earlier laws were held to be.
Argument on the Other Side.
Attorney General Charles n. Miller
made the argument in favor Of the
validity. Of the law. He insisted that
the court has nothing to 10 with the
wisdom or expediency of the law. those
being matters solely for the considera-
ton Of the legislature. Authorities
were read to show that laws forbid
ding the exaction Of usury. the taking
by law Of the last of debtors prop
erty, the purchase Of wages not yet
earned, the seizure of household goods
by summary process to satisfy chat
tel mortgage, and many other acts Of
imposition have been upheld by the
courts, and it was argued that the
legislature had equal power to forbid
the Withholding of wages already
earned and needed by the workman's
family for their daily needs.

GUILTY OF. COMBINING
Big Packing Firms MuIcted ir
Fines by the Supreme
Court of Missouri.

Besides About the Same Sum in
Court Charges-Court Has
the Merger Case

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 21.-The
supreme court, in banc, through Judge
Marshall yesterday awarded judgment
to the state against the beef packers
for combining to fix and control prices
Of meats, and assessed their punish
ment at fine of $1,000 each and all
the costs in the case. The fine is to
be paid within thirty days from date,
and If any of the companies fails To
pay the fine within that time a judg-
nlent of custer will issue at once, GUST
ing the company from doing business
In the state of Missouri
Firms of Packers Mulcted.
The packers against whom this
judgment was issued are the Armour
Packing company, of Chicago; the
Hammond Packing company, of Chi
cago; the Cudahy Packing company, of
Chicago; Swift & Co., of Chicago, and
Schwartzchili & Sulsberger. All Of
these companies haveextensive branch
houses in st. Louis, Kansas City and
st. Joseph. The supreme court was
unanimous on this Judgment, all seven
of the judges concurring.
Origin of the Case.
The decision against the packers is
the ending of proceeding which was
instituted last May On the 9th OF
May, 1902, the different packing COM
panies doing business in the state were
ordered by the supreme court to ap-
pear here before Judge Burgess, or
the court, and show cause why they
should not be cited to appear and an
swer the charge of violating the anti
trust laws of the state in combining
to maintain prices in Missouri. The
result of the hearing led Attorney Gen.
eral Crow to file suit against the pack
ers which was prosecuted vigorously
by him on the part of the state.
Pith of the Courts Opinion.
The opinion holds that the evidence
obtained at the hearings shows conclu-
sively that there was a combination
of the packers to maintain trust prices
on beef in Missouri that the repre-
sentatives of the packers met on GER
tain days to fix the prices for that
week; that rebating was done; that
the same prices prevailed at all of the
coolers at the same time; that no COLI
petitOr could enter the field against
the packers because the combine
would undersell the newcomer out of
business.
Testimony al to Bad Meat
The opinion does not take up the
charge made in the proceedings by the
attorney general that the companies
were also guilty Of selling diseased
meat. Much af the evidence was to the
effect that the companies did sell dis
eased meat, but the opinion Of the
