Arguments on the petition for a
new trial in the case OF Wilson against
Clement to recover $4,000 for SLAM
| der. in the trial of which at Rutland
several weeks ago the jury returned
verdict for the defendant, were heard
by Judge Hoyt II. Wheeler at Brattle-
boro, Nov. "a.
! The plaintiff was represented by
Max l.. Powell of Burlington, who
asked tor a retrial of the case on the
grounds First, that the verdict was
against the law and the evidence /;
second, that it was against the in
structions of the court; third, that
two OF the jurors were disqualified,
one because of political sympathy,
the other because he was an employee
of the Rutland railroad, of which Mr..
Clement is a stockholder as well as
director.
w. b. c. Stickney of Bethel and
Alexander Dunnett OF st. Johnsbury,
attorneys for Mr.. Clement, opposed
the petition on the ground that a YER
dict was fully sustained by the evil
dence and that it did not in any man
ner conflict with the charge Of the
court. To the last proposition the
following answer was made ;-First,
in the case of Markham, he ought in
no way TO be treated as an employee
OF the plaintiff, whose deposition was
read for the purpose OF showing that
his holdings in the Rutland road
were small and that he had
nothing to do with the direct
ing of its management or with the
employment of help, Mr.. Clement
simply being a director Of the Rut-
land by courtesy second, that in the
case of Hulett the evidence did not
disclose any disqualification further
than that plaintiffs counsel were APP
prised of disqualification that existed
during the trial and still went on and
speculated as to their chances of
getting a verdict, the conclusion OF
Mr.. Clements counsel being that it
is now too late to take advantage Of
disqualification of jurors if such
existed.
Counsel for plaintiff intimated in
closing that he had other evidence
than that submitted Of the disqualiti-
cation of Jurors in the case.
Judge Wheeler did not render a
decision, but adjourned the court until
the first Tuesday in January, when
il will recOnvene at BrattleDoro.

which will probably land Fred Cling

wood, presented himself and wanted
to dance, although he is said to have
been considerably under the influence

when Clingersmith drew his revolver
and commenced shooting into the
crowd. He emptied the gun of seven
shots before he was overpowered, and
injured three people. Alonzo 0sler
sustained three wounds. One ball

Commissioner Sargent Recommends
Medical inspection immigrants on
Behalf of the Government at Port
of Embarkation.

Washington. Oct. 24.-The annual
report of Commissioner General Frank
p Sargent of the bureau OF immigra-
ton, shows a large increase of steer
age immigration over that of the pre-
ceding year, the aggregate for the
fiscal year Of 1903 being S57,046, an
excess over that of last year of 20S,-
303, or 32 per cent. The statistics
show an increase in immigration from
all foreign sources, suggesting as the
chief cause of the influx of aliens into
the United States during the year the
inducements offered to settlers here
raher than any special cause OF dis
content in their own countries. OF the
total steerage immigration. there came
sfrom Europe s14.507, from Asia 1896.
and from all other sources 1858. IL
to these figures are added those rep
resenting the total arrivals of alien
cabin passengers, 64.269, the result
will show that the total immigration
of aliens 10 the United Staes during
the year aggregated 921.Sl5, or 105,043
more than the greatest number here
tofore reported for any one year.
The greatest number of immigrants,
230,622, came from Italy. an increase
of 52,247 over last year; while Aus
tria-Hungary furnished 206,011, an in
crease of 34,022; Russia, 136,093, an
increase Of 1916; Germany, 40.0S6;
an increase Of 11,7S2; Sweden, 46,02S,
an increase of 1914; Ireland, $3.50,
an increase of size; and England. e.
219, an increase of 1854. OF the

with 1896, an increase of 5,69s;
while China contributed 2,209, an in

aliens 1916 were males and 243,900
were females, of whom 102,431 were
under IA years OF age. There were of
these 3,34l who could read, but could
not write. and 1s5,667 who could
neither read nor write. The total
amount of money brought by them in
to the United States was $16,117,513.
Exclusive of those denied admission
at the land boundaries of the United
States, S,749 alien immigrants were re-
jected for various causes, the number
of rejectons being nearly double those
of the preceding year. OF these 5,S12
were paupers: l,773 were afflicted
with disease and 1886 were contract
laborers.
Commissioner Sargent strongly rec
ommends that an examination by COM.
petent medical officers be made of i'm
migrants on behalf Of the government
at foreign ports of embarkation. He
believes that skilled physicians, rep
resenting this government, should be

Supreme Court Holds That the Law 10
constitutional.

Constitutional.
Des Moines, Oct 23.-The Iowa Gig
arctic mulct tax law was again sus-
tanned In an opinion handed down by
the supreme court yesterday. The
case before the supreme court was
from Muscatine county and was an
appeal on a suit brought in that coun-
ty by X. Il. Hodge, proprietor OF a
cigar and tobacco store, and Mrs. j..
Tabor. owner of the building in which
the store was located. II was test
case to enJoin the county from col
lecting the mulct tax on cigarettes
and the law was assailed as unconsti-
tutional and void. The suit was dis
missed in the trial court, and then
the plaintiffs appealed to the supreme
court. The claim made by the plain
tiffs in their appeal was that section
5O07 Of the Iowa code is void because
1t deprives. or may deprive, private
cillzens of property without due pro-
cess OF law Ii was also claimed in
behalf OF the plaintiffs that the law
has no provision for a notice to the
dealer or to the real estate owner.
that the charge made is in the nature
of criminal penalty and the meas
ures provided for It's collection and
enforcement are not adapted to the
ends sought The claim is also set
up that the attempt to enforce a
criminal penalty through the taxing
machinery of the state is revolution
airy and that the law is arbitrary and
not in conformity to the provisions
of the constitution, The act is finally
assailed as an attempt to regulate
interstate commerce.
The opinion of the supreme court
denying the force of these charges is
written by Justice Deemer. He holds
that the contentious Of the plaintiffs
all revolve around the central claim
that the tax amounts TO the taking of
the property OF the plaintiff without
due process of law. The mulct tax,
the court says, can be fairly said to
be tax imposed on business, and be-
cause 1t is imposed for the double
purpose Of regulation and revenue is
no reason for declaiming 1t uncon-
stitutional.
Being q tax. the court says, 1t was
competent for the legislature to
prescribe the proceedings and process
of It's collection. Further. 1t is held
that the power of taxation is inherent
in its sovereignty and this power, it
has been, "in its nature acknowledges
no boundary"

affirms the lower court throughout 1t

porch, when she was sweeping. Last
Wednesday night some one went
through the house and stole her rings.
The matter was reported to the
police and vigorous investigation
commenced. The city marshal stated
yesterday that they knew who the
guilty party was, but did not cause
any arrest to be made for fear that by
getting the thief they would lose the
rings, and were hoping to catch the
party with the stolen goods.
Mr.. Seeley states that no prosecu-
ton will be made, as he is pleased to
get the rings back.

FIVE IN CONTEMPT.
Judge Given Held Against Prominent
Des Moines Men.

Des Moines, Oct. 21.--The five Des
Moines men who have been having
hearing in district court for week,
were adjudged to be in contempt of
court. yesterday. by Judge Given, who
fined them as follows, tEree fines be-
ing to the extent of the law: W. l..
White, J. o. Wells. E. III. Hunter, $50
each; NJ brady, F. A. Marvin, $25
each
A writ of certiorari was at once
sworn out before the supreme court
by Mr.. Hunter, and. 1t is understood,
will be by the other defendants. There
is much interest in the grounds which
are urged as reasons why the district
court should not be sustained in its
Judgment. 1t Is claimed that the cases
should have been dismissed when the
defendants submitted TO the court
their sworn statements of innocence,
the complaint being as to constrnc-
tive contempt.
Yesterday was occupied in hearing
the testimony in the Wells and Mar
vim cases. The principal witness
against Marvin was John Fletcher,
the Juror said to have been approach
ed by the defendant. He testified that
Marvin asked him TO use his influence
for Wells in the case then pending
against him in the court OF Judge
Mcvey. William Quick, superintend-
ent of the United States Express COM
pany. testified as TO the good charac-
ter of Marvin. An argument arose
over the question as to whether Mar
win could be made to testify as he had
done before the bar committee. The
court ruled that he could not be COM
PEELED to testify to anything which
might incriminate himself. Marvin
did not testify.

and was caustic in part Of the crit
cisms he made, especially as TO Mr..
