BOWMAN GOES FREE
Supreme Court Atfirms Kentucky De.
cision in Rriherv Case

Washington, May 5.-The United States
supreme court in an opinion by Justice
Brewer has delivered an opinion in
the case of United States Marshal James
Of Kentucky vs.. Henry Bowman involv
ing the validity of section 55O7 of the re-.
vised statutes respecting the bribery Of
ment. The opinion affirmed the decision
of the United States district court for
the western district of Kentucky declar-
ing that statute unconstitutional.
Bowman was indicted for bribing negro
voters in connection with the congress
sional election in the fifth congressional
district of Kentucky in the election Of
1900. Being arrested he sued out writ
of habeas corpus on the ground that the
statute was in contravention of the federal
constitution. The district court there
upon discharged Bowman. and the gov
eminent brought the case to the supreme
court which affirmed the opinion.
In announcing the opinion of the court
Justice Brewer said that no point had
been made of the fact that the persons
who wer bribed were of color. Speaking
Of the statute he said:
'On it's face it Is clearly an attempt to
exercise power supposed to be conferred
by the fifteenth amendment in respect to
all elections and more in pursuance of
the general control by congress over par
ticular elections. To change this stat
ute,, enacted to punish bribery of persons
named in the fifteenth amendment at all
elections, to statute Furnishing bribery
Of any nature at certain elections, would
be in effect judicial legislation"

New York May 5.--Startling discoveries
were made to-day in the effort to unearth
tho murderers of Broker Edward M. ST.
rnonds of New York, who was slain in
Chicago on April IS. The mystery is now
complicated by the discovery of the fact
that Simonds was one of the central fig
ures in the get -rich-quick concern Of c.
r.. Mackey & Co., which was exposed In
November, 1901.
The head of the firm of G. E.. Mackey
& Co., was Oliver Francis Malcolm. who
is now in Chicago. Actions against Mall
colin and others Interested in the Mackey
e. Co. concern were recently begun in the
United States courts of this city and are
rapidly approaching a climax A confess
sion has already been obtained from one
prominent member of the sWindling band
and as a result it was predicted that the
man who made it would pay the penalty
with his life.
Information had been obtained that ST.
monds also was willing to confess his
part in the Mackey swindles, and firm
OF Brooklyn lawyers had already begun
efforts to obtain from him a statement
that would have cost his associates every
penny of the vast fortune they had
wrongfully amassed. Simonds believed
that these men, who had used him as
their tool, had defrauded him Of his right
full share of the proceeds.
A short time ago he went to Chicago.
probably to try to wrest some of the
Mackey & Co. plumber from the men who
fled with it.
Alan M. Simonds son Of the murdered
man, admitted that his father was the
same man who had figured in the Mackey
concern. but declared bitterly that Nal
colin had not treated his father right,
and protested the. elder Simonds' limo
cence of any wrong doing.

officials get they are welcome to but we

LONDON CHAMBERS OBJECT
They Do Not Want the Tax Taken
From Grain.

London, May 5.-The opposition to the
proposal of the chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, Mr.. Richie. to abolish the duty
on grain, which has been voiced by num-
erous chambers of agriculture, crystalized
in a meeting Of the Associated Chambers
of Agriculture in London to-day.
With only three dissentionists the large
assemblage, after a heated attack on Mr..
Ritchie's webbing policy in connection
with this tax passed a resolution strong
" condemning the proposed action and ap-
pointing a deputation to call on Premier
Balfour and confer with him on the sub
ject.
1t is not believed the protest will have
any effect.
Answering question in the house Of
commons to-day, Mr.. Richie held out lit
tie hope of the millers getting refund of
the duties paid on imported grain which
they may still have on their hands when
the tax is abolished July LIST.

NOT THE STOLEN MONEY
SO 1000 Package at Britt Snare t
Catch a Suspect.

Special to The Journal,
Mason City, Iowa, May 5.-A special re-
ceived here by the Globe-Gazette from
Britt states there Is no truth whatever
in the run1or that John Peterson, the agent
at Britt for the United States Express
company, had confessed to the recent rob-
berry.
The detectives claimed to have found
$4,000 in a package under Petersons office
and took it into the Commercial bank and
counted it. but Peterson firmly. asserted
his innocence and the general belief is
that the package was not the one stolen
but one used as a bait to endeavor to
wiring a confession from him.
No one in Britt believes that Peterson
is guilty and his neighbors declare he was
robbed just as he stated. After General
Superintendent Byrne, with the half dozen
detectives in the case, had failed to get a
confession from Peterson, they rendered
him his position of agent again. which he
Indignantly refused to accept. The mys
terry Is as deep as ever.
