HEAVY WEIGHTS In SENATE.
The "Reminiscences of washington
uphOIsterer.

bphOAsfeFeFs
John r. Zimmerman, late upholsterer
and cabinet maker Of the senate for
SO many years, says the Washing
ton Post, enjoyed an interesting expert
ence in his personal association with
the great men of the senate, inasmuch
as it was his duty to provide comfort
able seats in the northern chamber Of
the capitol, and lie at times referred to
this experience. About a year ago,
when asked about a special chair that
he had to provide for the late Senator
David Davis Of Illinois. who came to
the senate in 1877, Mr., Zimmerman
said: THE great chair that was made
many years ago for Senator Dixon II.
Lewis of Alabama, who weighed 400
pounds. was brought into the senate
chamber for Judge Davis, as he was a
very large man. Senator Davis was
shown the seat that had been provided
for him. He looked at the huge seat
for a moment and then turned away in
disgust, remarzing at the same time
IL don't care for a sofa to sit on.
When ! lie down win 90 to the cloak
room. No; that will not do, continued
the great Illinois senator.
The Lewis chair was moved away
and another made, which you win find
in the senate judiciary committee
room, remarked Mr. Zimmerman. tThe
impression prevailed for some years
that Senator Davis occupied the Lewis
chair, and It was not until the worlds
fair at Chicago in 1893 that the matter
was cleared up. The managers of the
fair secured the Lewis chair for exhl-
bition as the one used by the senator
from Illinois. It was soon learned that
it was not the one used by Mr. Davis
and placed aside Tho Lewis chair
was returned and is now IN the custody
OF the senate cabinet rooms

the purchase from Mr.. Hill, negotia-
tons for which were pending for
weeks. was completed several months
ago on condition that ore tonnage from
the district should be routed over the
Hill railroad system us far as possible
One Of the best judges Of the iron
ore situation in the United States said
that the significance of the purchase
Of the Chemung holdings lies IN the
fact that it takes from the market the
last large single block Of Afesaba ore
and materially diminishes the possibil-
fly OF any extensive competition to the
steel corporation.

BOYD CAN'T GIT
BACK SALARY
SAYS THE COURT

Tho supreme Court rendered a una
nimuus decision this morning in the
case Of Robert Boyd against Auditor
Fisher for the payment OF his salary
as deputy registrar Of the land Of the
Land Court during the six months APP
period. The court decides
against Boyd being paid salary not
specifically appropriated.
Says the syllabus: If the elimination
OF portion Of an Act as void, would
make the remainder, If allowed to
stand, mean something different from
what the Legislature intended by that
remainder, the latter cannot stand.
The provision In Section 50 of the
Organic Act that appropriations shall
bc made biennially does not prevent
the Legislature from dividing the hi.
cnnial period into two parts, namely.
six months before and eighteen months
after the Inauguration Of county gov
eminent, for the purpose of making
different appropriations for each of
those parts.

COUNTY COMPLICATIONS.

The independent suit brought 10y
Treasurer Kepoikai to retain one Of
the principal revcuue.producing de.
partmonts of the Territory, puts the
Bar Association test case on the shelf
and inCidCntly foreshadows a lengthy
contest in the courts that will carry
well beyond the time set by law for
the Supervisors OF the counties to or.
ganize.
What the result will be further than
TO surround the counties with an elc.
ment of distrust none can say. Pre-.
sumably the Supreme Court will not
take upon itself the responsibility Of
prediction before the case is fully ar.
gued. This case has to make its way
through the Circuit Court to the Su-
preme bench. This means anything
but speed in discovering the final stat.
MS of the law Furthermore II the Su.
preme Court follows the precedent al.
ready established, favorable or ad.
verse opinion on the point now In ques.
ton does not place the law beyond
NDiNlll'h dNNd'h anu consequent Nh'
certainty as TO where we stand in the
administration OF local affairs. Events
establish beyond reasonable doubt
that he county law will be subjected
to constant attack as long as there Is
a technicality TO bring against it in its
real or supposed conflict with the Or
ganiC Act.
The situation is such that the only
reasonably safe harbor for the county
law. the only avenue which leads to
certainty as to the stability of the
counties, is ratification by Congress.
Congressional action will confirm the
right of the Territory to do what Is
now disputed. It will insure local
self-government.
To the people honestly in favor of
county government there can be no
doubt OF the ACCESSIBILITY OF Fastening
the ratification law which II Is to he
hoped Delegate Kuhio has succeeded
in advancing well on its way through
the Federal legislative mill.

Doctors Miner. Wayson, Hodgins and

was enacted
Jones fate lies with the jury.

o'clock.

giving Of instructions, and 1t Is not

81 think we will all find that we
know very little Of the law before We

the court.
At 1915 o'clock the jury was called
in and Attorney a. G. VI. Robertson
commenced his opening address.

numerous attorneys and interested
laymen.
Recapitulating the evidence given Of
Jones life. Mr. Robertson said:
1t Is immaterial at this time
whether the illness was typhoid or
brain fever The sickness almost
killed the boy. Certain large Jumps
appeared on his head. DR.. Mays be.
lieves those abcesses saved his life
During his attending school he showed
Enthusiastically the results Of his ILL
ness; was dull, moruse, stupid. Those
conditions were the result Of the fever.
Unable to learn his lessons he was
frequently whipped and stood in the
corner. His various queer actions go
to show something wrong with his
mind at that time"
Robertson dwelt at length on every
point in the history of Jones life
which seemed to point to the insanity
theory. He maintained that the drunk.
en- frenzy which held Jones, II II was
drunken frenzy, when the shooting
Of wife and mother.in.law occurred.
was the direct result of the early inilu.
ences which had produced insanity.
Jones last ardent letter Of appeal TO
the wife who was suing him for di.
vorce was read again to the jury as an
argument for the defense, to show the
condition of mind the accused was in,
how much he loved her. worsuipped
her. in fact; how far from h,s mind
was any ideao doing her harm.
Jones confession in the police sta.
ton was also welded before the jury
as a telling weapon for the defense.
In this Jones had spoken of his wife
as his god and Robertson eloquently
Gwelt on this point of the story.
Robertson talked through the noon
hour into the afternoon. delivering a
comprehensive, forceful and masterful
address and argument.
