MANY CIRCUL
Local Grand Army Men Reluctant to
Discuss the Matter-Chief Objec-
ton That the General is
Democrat.

Former Pension Commissioner John
c. Black has flooded the country with
circulars asking support for his candf-
dacy in the race for the commandership
of the Grand Army of the Republic
Nearly all Of the prominent veterans in
the District have received them, but for
reasons best known to themselves the
old soldiers decline TO make these cir
culars public
1t is limited the reason Is they do not
just know whether or not they viii sup
port General Black. He Is a Democrat.
and is the first to seek election to the
Office since General SIocum was so badly
beaten a few years ago
Several private letters were received
by the leaders of the Grand Army in
Washington today from General Black
in addition TO the circulars. The general
appreciates the fact that the best poll
ticians in the organization are located
in Washington, and he is ezpending
every effort 10 get their support.
IN the circular received by the local
men, it is announced that the Depart
ment of Illinois has already declared
for General Black and will support him
solidIy at the election. It is also said
Ohio and Indiana will give him their
votes
General SickIes' Candidacy.
At the present time there seems TO be
no candidate Of much strength against
General Black. Gen Daniel sicllIes is
mentioned for the place, but he is said
TO be too feeble to attend to the duties
OF the Office, even if he sought it, which
is denied by his friends Then. it was
said this morning. even if General
Sickles should try to get the place he
would have a fight on his hands which
would more than likely end in his de
feat.
For years Gen. John Palmer. past
grand commander OF the Grand Army.
has been a bitter enemy OF General
SiclIes. the two quarreling over ahe
management Of public institution for
veterans in Illinois when General Palm
er was secretary OF state there Cen
eraI SickIes made many friends among
the veterans during the inauguration, in
getting for them more privileges than
they ever had. before. but this does not
seem 10 have been enough 10 overcome
the enmity oi General Palmer. And The
veterans who are familiar with the sit
uation say General PaImerfs faction in
the organization IS so strong no one
can be elected unless General Palmer
supports him.
IN view OF these facts it seems more
than probable General sickles has been
disposed Of as a candidate even before
he has made any attempt TO secure an
election.

MYsTERIOUsLY DISAPPEARS.
Brother of Garden Grove Man Miss
ing in California.

Sacramento, CAL, Jan. 1.-THE safe
of w. I. Bunney, the missing treasurer
of inyo county, has been opened and
reveals shortage of $1,000. Bunney's
friends, who have been investigating
the case, claim that this money repre-
sented taxes collected but not due at
the state treasury until the following
quarter. Bunney came to Sacramento
December Is, and settled with the state
treasurer. The theory is that when he
found that the 81 300 was not due until
the next quarter he departed for home
with the money and was waylaid and
killed. He was last seen at Reno, Ney.,
on December "a.
The aboYe was taken from Saturday
Des Moines Capital. w. T. Bunney is q
brother of A. G. Bunney, of this place,
but he has not yet received any particu.
lars Of the misfortune of his brother
who has family and property In Inyc

THE COAL INDICTMENTS.

The special grand jury set out to
catch the men who are responsible for
the coal famine.
1t reports that nobody within its
reach is to blame, but it returns great
many indictments nevertheless, evil
IDENTIFY on general principles.
Having indicted forty.four coal deal
efs of one kind and another for violat-
ing one law or another, the jury names
a curious report on the subject, Its
actions and its words seem to be in con-
flict. Acquiring everybody of respon-
sibiity for the conditions complained
of, it nevertheless indictes good
many people for something or for
nothing.
The Jury says in substance that there
have been individual cases of refusal to
supply coal at natural prices and Of ex.
tortion, but it finds mo evidence that
the present condition of the coal indus
try is due to or appreciably influenced
by any conspiracy or combination in
restraint of trade"
Then it adds: 'sThe jury does find
that there exists in the city of Chicago
and in the state of Illinois outside OF
Chicago and in the neighboring states
certain combinations which it deems to
be conspiracles or combinations in re-
straint of trade within the meaning Of
the statutes"
1t therefore proceeds to bring in 8
great number of indictments for con-
spiracy and combination to increase the
price of coal.
The jury, therefore, first explains how
the coal scarcity was produced by
natural causes; it then says that it has
no evidence that coal prices were artifc
tally advanced through combinations
and conspiracies; it next contradicts
this statement and then it indicts forty
or fifty reputable business men on the
charges regarding which it says it has
no evidence. This is queer showing
to say the least of it.
The Chronicle happens to know thai
one of the corporations thus arranged
the Indiana Fuel Company, was orga
nized for the sole purpose of buying
various coal mines-a lawful proceed
ing-but that its plans came to nothing
If the "criminality" of the other corpo
rations and individuals indicted is NJ
greater than this it will not take |
court very long to dispose of the worl
OF the grand jury.
In most respects this proceeding ap
pears to be pretty solemn farce. Tn
famine in coal is the offense that Is com
planned of, but the grand jury is careful
to assert that no one within its reacl
had anything to do with it.
Indictments on general principle
look we'll and sound we'll, but they ar
not likely to amount to much, and thu
probability is that they were not in
tended to amount to anything.-Chi
cago Chronicle.

The state supreme court in a decision
the other day established two points
never before ruled on in Iowa: First,
that an officer who makes an arrest
'lupon view" that is, without war
rantl does so upon his own responsible
ity. Second, that the discharge of a
prisoner who has been arrested upon
view without preliminary hearing or
examination of any sort, is a confession
of wrongful arrest. The ruling should
tend to make peace officers bit care
full about making arrests unless authori-
zed by warrant to do SO. Ordinary
citizens still have a few rights left
which even policemen are bound to re-
spect.

DAKOTA DIVORCES NOT LEGAL
The United States Supreme Court.
Refuses to Recognize Dakota
Divorces.

A special from Washington City says:
Again has the supreme court sent out
message to the country which will
cause the heart of many a fair divorce
to hutter, and may bring to the mind Of
the callous divorcer the query which
once agitated distinguished legislator
in Washington-"Where am l att"
|-"Where am at?"
The court of last resort once more has
announced that the divorces obtained
under the six months residence statute
of South Dakota are not valid.
The decision is given in the case of
Anna Andrews vs.. Kate H. Andrews,
and the question at issue is as to which
is entitled to administer upon the es.
tate of Charles s. Andrews, whom both
women claimed as husband. The
record shows that Mrs. Kate Andrews
was the first wife and that her husband
secured divorce in South Dakota after
remaining there six months, the time
required by the statute of that state.
The Massachusetts supreme court held
that the decree had been fraudulently
secured, and refusing to recognize it
held that the first wife was the legal
widow of the deceased Mr.. Andrews.
Today's opinion, which was delivered
by Justice Andrews, affirmed the hold.
ing. He said that Andrews residence
in the state of South Dakota did not
constitute legal domicile.
