HOssack Defense Outlined.

WINTBRSET Ia, Feb. 19.-(Special.)- y
The critical point In the Hossack case has
been reached. The state this morning an
nounced that It would rest, and the fore
noon has been devoted to witnesses for the
defense. The defense had twenty-five wit
nesses subpoenaed this morning, all OF
whom, outside Of members of the Hossack
family, are physicians. The whole case
therefore. rests upon the question OF
whether or not Mrs. Hossack had time to
wash the blood of her hands, hide the az
and get the room in shaps for the calling
Of the children, or whether, as she claimed
she awakened the children as soon as she
heard the noise in the house and knew that
her husband was wounded.

ELKINS HAS A BILL.
Covers Antitrust Legislation Re-
Iating to Railroads.

1Rting TO Railroads.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Elkins
to-day introduced a bill which covers
the features of antitrust legislation
so far as it relates to railroads. It
contains the provisions which have
been recommended by Attorney Cen
eral Knox as to the punishment OF
those who receive, as we'll as those
who give, rebates. 1t provides for the
punishment of corporations by fine,
instead of imprisonment of the Off
cials; also for injunctions to prevent
determinations.
The Elkins bill is the result OF con-
ferences among various senator's, most
of them being members of the Inter-
state Commerce Committee. Its pur-
pose is to separate interstate COM
merce and railroads from other trust
legislation. The Interstate Commerce
Committee has been unable to agree
upon measures which have been pend
ing before it relating to pooling and
fixing rates by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The new bill
leaves these contested questions out
and covers features which have been
most conspicuous in the preparation
of antitrust legislation.
The bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, Of
which Senator EIkins is chairman, and
it is the intention of the committee to
take 1t up at an early day. Among
those who have been consulted in the
preparation of the bill besides Mr.
Knox were Senators Aldrich, Cullom,
Foraker, Clapp and others.

WOULDN'T GIVE PERMISSION.
Attitude of "A Union President, Gray
Said, Was Tyranny.


Philadelphia, Jan. 21.-The sessions
of the Coal Strike Commission to-day
were enlivened by some interesting tes-
timony. The feature of the sessions
was Chairman Gray's rather strong re-
marks in commenting on an incident
where District President Fahey of the
Miners Union would not grant permits
sion during the strike to a contractor
to erect a boiler house at a colliery
which was necessary to preserve the
mine from danger.
r. S. Mercur, a Lehigh colliery sup
erintendent. said the company had con-
tracted with a man to build a boiler
house. The strikers refused to per-
init this to be done: they would not
even permit the material to be taken
from the railroad cars. Finally the
contractor wrote to District President
Fahey, asking permission to erect the
boiler house. and the labor leader re-
piled:
"On account of existing conditions. I
cannot grant you the permission which.
as l understand from your letter, you
request"
Judge cray said he did not Ike the
word permission" as used by Mr..
Fahey. This was a free country, and
he was not educated up to using IT in
the way MIR. Tahey had employed it.
He added that he hated tyranny, no
matter whether it was practiced by an
operator, miner or anyone else. The
chairman delivered his remarks with
much force, and the incident created
considerable Of stir in the court
room.
During the morning session the Lee
high Valley Coal Company, who pre-
sented it's case to-day after the Temple
Iron Company placed a union miner on
the stand to testify about what seemed
to be a trivial matter and on cross
examination he proved to be a good
witness for the miners. He said there
would be trouble in the anthracite re-
stons as long as the coal companies
insisted upon paying the contract
miners by the car instead of by weight.
This opened a discussion between
counsel for both sides and the COM
missioneTs, which consumed time The
result was that the commission will
devote an entire day to hearing argu-
ments on both sides of the question.
