Must stand TrlaI EOr Murder.

Belleville, H., June 2S.-Judge
Holder yesterday denied the applica-
ton for a writ of habeas corpus for
the release of John S. Bratton, the
well known hOrseman of East st.
Louis, who with four other men, was
held by the coroner's jury for killing
naval reserve, Clifford Hambley, in
battle on the leveene Bratton's home

The application for his release was
based on the assertion that the evil
dence before the coroner's jury was
not sufficient to warrant the holding of
Bratton to the grand jury.
Bratton's bond was fixed at $500
and that of the others at 81, 500 each
Bratton went on the bonds of his men
and his own bond was signed by a
friend. All were released.

ON THE FEDERAL BENCH.
Anxious Candidates Waiting fer Judge
shiras to step Out.

Des Moines, Iowa, June 21.-Re-
newed interest has been aroused
in the federal judgeship talk
because Judge Shiras of Du-
buque contemplates resigning Nov.
1. With knowledge of this in mind,
friends of the aspirants for his place
are getting extremely busy.
The most prominent man in the
field is Senator Thomas D. Healy OF
Fort Dodge. 1t has been well known
for months that Senator Healy had
mis- eye on this position. He is en-
gagged in organizing his strength and
is writing letters to his friends in
different parts of the state.
Another candidate is F. F. Dawley
of Cedar Rapids, a partner of the late
Judge n. NJ. Hubbard, and an able
lawyer. Craig Wright of Sioux City
has been mentioned for the place and
also j. c. Longuevile of Dubuque. At
torney General Mullan is another
whose name has been spoken OF.
Senator Healy's candidacy undoubt-
edly is regarded at this time as the
most formidable, though of course
subsequent developments may change
the situation. He is closely allied
with Governor Cummins, Senator
Dolliver, George E. Roberts and other
powerful politicians, and besides has
brilliant record as a senator.

Belgrade, June 21.-Foreign Minister
Kalivics, in an interview yesterday ex-
pressed intense indignation at the an
noucement from London that the Brit
ish minister had been instructed to
withdraw from Belgrade for some time
on the arrival here of King Peter.
The minister said il was unexplicable
why the British government intended
to make the provisional Servian min
istry responsible for the deplorable
events of June 10. The members of
the present cabinet, he added, had
really displayed great patriotism in
coming to the aid of their country in
the sad crisis.
France Holds Back.
Paris, June 21.-Foreign Minister
Delcasse's colleagues express the be
lief that he is likely to depreciate the
Servian tragedies by an explanation
similar to those of Russia and Aus
tria, but it is pointed out that King
Peter took the initiative in the cases
of Russia and Austria by telegraph.

Joseph, thus affoTding the opportunity

whereas the Servian king has not al

ouently, has not given them oppOr-

portunity, however, viii come when
the question of the recognition of
King Peter arises. Meanwhile the
French minister at Belgrade has been
instructed to restrict his action to
routine affairs and maintain a neutral
attitude towards the new regime until
tAe question of the kings recognition
is formally decided. This win not
come TO the front until after King
Peters arrival in Belgrade, his formal
assumption of power and his notice

Marinette, Wis, June 23.-The
little town of Crivitz, this county, is
much stirred UP over a feud between
a priest and the postmaster. Rev.

bride and groom had obtained a
special dispensation from Bishop

misrepresentation and would not pro-
ced with the ceremony. 1t is rumored

feud that has existed between the
Zechs. the Kerstens and Mr.. Hubbard
for some time and no one can foresee
just what the results will be. Law
suits seem inevitable.

affirming the conviction Of F. W. Pratt
for violating the park board or

charter gives the park board right TO

to grant hOuse-mOvers permits, these
DO not carry a right 10 cut branches
from trees inside the curb. which do

with such a construction, would be
reasonable and enforceable, we are
not called upon 10 decide at this

TELEGRAPH CASE UP.
Judge Hears Arguments in Suit
Against Western Union Company.

Minneapolis, June 2S.-Yesteriay
Judge D. F. Simpson listened to the
first presentation in this country of
the case of the state of Minnesota
against the Western Union Telegraph
company. The action is TO collect
81, 900 penalty for the nOn-payment of
license fee imposed upon all foreign
corporations doing business in the
state, and the hearing upon the states
demurrer interposed to the defend
ants answer. Assistant Attorney
General c. w. Somerby presented the
states case and c. NJ. Ferguson ap-
peared as counsel for the company.
The court will announce its decision
within a few days.
The case involves the right of the
state to impose a license upon foreign
corporations, and both the state and
the defendant are making a de-
termined fight.
Mr.. Somerby's contention was that
the answer of defendant set up to
valid defense. He argued that the
statute of 1899 provided that all
foreign corporations must file with the
secretary of state by the first of July
of that year, a certified copy of their
constitution and bylaws, must open an
Office and provide an agent in the
state upon whom service of process
could be had, must file sworn state
ment Of property owned in the state,
from which data a license fee would
be assessed, and must be paid by the
corporation. None of these provisions,
according to Mr.. Somerby, the de-
fendant company complied with and
these facts were practically admitted
in their answer.
In reply Mr.. Ferguson set up that
the Western Union was doing bust
ness under a provision of the United
States statutes and that it was carry
ing on governmental business as well
as interstate business, neither Of
which is subject to state taxation.
