JUDGE PARkER'S
RADICAL VIEWS
He Advocates Doctrines That Are
: Likely to Make Him Strong
With Labor Men.
Some of His Opinions on the Bench
-> Are Certain to Provoke
D. Controversy.
Now York Sun Special Service,

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago. March 26.-William E. Curtis,
IN Washington special to the Record-Her-
aid this morning, says:
The extended and growing popularity of
Judge Alton B. Parker of New York as
a presidential candidate gives his views
upon current problems more that ordinary
interest and Importance, and entities them
to the serious consideration Of the think
ing men of the country. Some Of his Opin-
ions, expressed from the bench, are GER
tain to provoke controversy, especially
upon labor questions-and to suggest what
might have happened if he had been presi-
dent instead of Cleveland during the rail-
way strikes in 1894 and in Roosevelt's
chair during the coal strike last year.
Mr.. Bryan and other populists are by
no means so radical as Judge Parker con-
cerning the rights Of wage-earners and the
privileges Of organized labor. He has sew
eral times dissented from his associates
upon the bench of the court of appeals OF
New York and advocates doctrines that
will make him extremely popular with rad
ical labor agitators, but at the same time
they are likely to excite distrust in the
minds of conservative property owners
especially because Of the widespread ap-
prehension of future labor troubles.

Mrs. Hull Recalled.

Mrs. Hull was recalled and the district
attorney pointed out that when on the
stand before she had testified that she
was in the bathroom when Maggie Murray
told her the den door was closed and the
kitchen window was open while Maggie
Murray testified that they were in Mrs.
Hull room at the time. Witness was
sure they were not in her room
at the time. She did not re-

Mrs, Hull reiterated that she went to
st. Johns church on Ash Wednesday
morning. She usually went to the Church
of The Messiah but once or twice had
dropped in at st. Johns church. She was
not on Elmwood avenue that morning
Pennen was seen on Elmwood avenue

Since last on the stand she had been re-

in the opening Of this territory SO richly
endowed by nature. The twin cities will
have an enlarged market for their prod
ucts and for the merchandise handled by
their jobbers. 1t is a move for prosper
ity on all Sides" --
Policies Are Contrasted.
A critic of Mr.. Hill in his mana cement
of railroad properties compares this re-
cent action by the 500 with the other
methods. He states that the Hill inter-
ests have for long time tried to get
control Of the 500 and failed because the
500 management has announced itself
the natural protector of this part of the
country, and therefore first, last and all
the time works for this northwest terri
tory and against all moves to divert it's
interests into other channels.
''Mr. Hill" said this critic, would
merge anything for his own benefit. He
has never done anything directly for the
twin cities. If they have been built up OF
benefited it has been merely incidental
He has always tried to make Buffalo ano
Duluth the flour centers. He has now
sold his freighters to the combine and is
instrumental through the Burlington ir
raising rates in favor Of Chicago and
against the northwest.
This statement is undoubtedly bahed
on the supposed attitude of merger inter-
ests toward the Soo's attempts at making
| terminals in St. Paul. It is intimated
that the petition to permit the Northern
Pacific to tunnel Lafayette avenue is
! nothing more or less than a move by the
Northern Securities interests to block the
Soo's progress.
The aggressive attitude of the 500 line
is pleasing to Minneapolis business inter.
ests in that the road does not base its
supremacy claim alone on defeating pro
jects which initiate against it's territory
but is also reaching ont for new fields.
! In addition to this extension nortl
through the White Earth reservation the
500 has other extensive plans in view
which will still further make good its
right to the title of champion of the
northwest. Ass

Another Winters Work
Before the arrival of the Morning the
members of the Discovery expedition ex-
perienced some privation owing to a part
Of their supplies deconposing. This ac-
counted for e3death of all the dogs. The

Morning and the explorers are now in a

The 500 maintains its title as champion
the strategic location of it's lines and the
disposition Of It's management, it not only
operates to block the schemes of other
lines in favor of Chicago, but is pushing
plans for early extensions into new north
western territory which is tributary to
the twin cities and which is still unde-
veloped.
President Thomas Lowry announces to-
day that the 500 will build into the White
Earth reservation. The new line has
been surveyed north from Glenwood, ma
terial for construction is being assembled
and in a short time the work Of ironing
the right of way will begin. The new
line will be at least 200 miles in length. As
much will be built this summer as pos
sible. The other terminus is not determ-
ined and engineers are still in the field
The Great oNrthern will be crossed al
Alexandria, the Northern Pacific a few
miles east of eDtroit and the Great North
ern Breckenridge line at some intermedi-
ate point.
"Reaardess OF Other Roads,
Mr. Lowry said of the new project to-
day: 1T is the intention to maintain
the supremacy Of the 500 and to extend
its lines wherever it is necessary for
business. regardless Of other roads and
to develop especially the territory tribu-
tary to Minneapolis and st. Paul. There
is, no disposition smpl yto infringe on
the territory of other roads. but to de-
velop the country for our own interests.
whether it is tributary to other roads
or not.
THE interests of the 500 line, of the
country to be developed and those Of the
twin cities are mutual The 500 will profit
naturally by the large increase in volume
in traffic both ways. The new country
will have a new market. easily reached
for it's products, and will be brought in

none more humorous than the effort of
the people Of Wallace county, Kansas, to
look after Colonel Roosevelt's spiritual
welfare on Sunday, May 8, on which date
he is scheduled to be at Sharon Springs.
It should be explained that Sharon
Springs is a spot designated on large rail-
road maps by a very small dot, and des-
ignated by letters which require mag
nifying glass. For it's population num-
bers. 116, and these scattering: I'm
verified rumor says there is a railroad
station and freight office there, and there
is a suspicion that there is a general store
and water tank. The whole county Of
Wallace, which is as large, as the state Of
Delaware, has about II, 1000 Inhabitants
and when these are evenly sprinkled over
the uplands and sage brush they do not
make the place very crowded. In word
it is a desolate region, through which a
man may ride on fast train for a day.
and not have any occasion to look out Of
the car window. ', ..s.
In Sharon Springs the president is
billed to spend Sunday. In Sharon
Springs there is neither church nor
preacher. But in Sharon Springs there is
public spirit and local pride. So when~it
became known through the all-pervading
press that President Roosevelt intended
to lay off for day of rest at Sharon, the
prominent citizens of the Springs. and of
Wallace county in general, began to make
ready for his entertainment. Knowing the
presidents church-going proclivities, it
was arranged to import preacher for
that day, and the White House was noti-
fed that there would be religious services
at Sharon. But the president had given
orders for relay of twelve horses to
meet the train at Sharon, it being his in
tention to take little ride of a hundred
miles or so over and across that unfenced
region. So the question arose as to
whether the religion would come before or
after the ride.
In vain did the secretary to the presi-
dent intimate to the Sharonites that the
absence of a preacher or meeting house
would not be permitted to weigh against
the presidents good opinion of the place.
In vain did the secretary protest against
che great pains and trouble which the
good people of Wallace were expending in
securing the special religious services.
The: trouble they said, was as moth
ing The president was to be their guest,
and they proposed to entertain him as a
president should be entertained. If it
was religion he wanted-and what. else
could he want on the Standardization
hea should have, and damn the expense.
They would give 1t to him in the general
store. in his special car, or out in the
sage brush; or, if he preferred, he might
take it standing next to the water tank.
nice restful exhortation, a couple of
hours in length, with a few enlightening
references to public questions, a twenty
minute prayer, a few hymns and an as
sembling of the people of Wallace county
will make things seem homelike to a
man so far from home.

The Report of Captain Scott.

The report of Captain Scott, r. N,
commander Of the Discovery, up to the
time of meeting with the Morning, states
that the Discovery entered the ice pack
on Dec. 49, 1901, in latitude ST. She
reached Cape Dare. on Jan. 9, 1902. She
was delayed there by gale and ice, but
a party landed on Jan. 20 in an excellent
harbor, Wood bay,s in latitude 1880, and
deposited record of the voyage. Cape
Crozier was reached on Jan. %, after
which the Discovery sailed along the bar
rier within few cables length, examining
the edge from which rose high snow slopes
to extensive, heavily glaciated land. with
occasional bare, precipitous peaks On
Feb. 8, the Discovery entered an inlet in
the barrier in longitude 174. A balloon
ascent was made and sledges examined
the land to latitude 1880. Excellent win
ter quarters was found near Mount Ere
bus and Mount Terror, where huts were
erected and other preparations made. The
ship was frozen in on March "a. The ex-

Scott, DR.. Wilson and Lieutenant Shackle-

After the recess was declared the dis

The Pennell Inquest.
1t was the understanding to-day that
the inquest into the death of Arthur
R. Pennell will be held Immediately and
that the verdict in the Burdick case will
not be rendered until after the close Of
the Pennell inquest, when both yerdicts
will be handed down simultaneously.
Naturally there has been much specula-
ton as to what the verdict will be in the
Burdick case. Under the new law the
police justice has the right to issue
warrant at the close of an inquest OF
murder case in the event that the evi-
dence is sufficient to indicate the guilt of
any particular person with sufficient
clearness to make indictment by the
grand jury reasonably certain. It is not
thought possible that the court will in this
instance name any one in any warrant.
1t is possible, however, he may issue war
rants for the arrest of John Doe and Jane
Doe In that event the district attorney
would be obliged to submit the whole case
to the grand jury.
