tered into the strike to-day of I'll drivers
employed by the fourteen transfer COM
panies Of the city, who went out this morn
ing for an increase in wages and recogni-
ton of their union. Perhaps half a hun
dred men were employed during the day

little work was accomplished. During the
afternoon strikers and their sympathizers
gathered in large numbers at several points
in the west bottoms and held up wagons
driven by nonunion men. At the Burling-
ton freight depot the police were forced to
draw revolvers to dispense a crowd that
had cut the traces of teams hitched to
two loaded wagons. AT another point
George b. Evans, an employe of the Amer
lean Express Company. in attempting to
dispense a crowd that was throwing stones
at the driver, fired shot into the ground.
N. n. Latin, a striker, interfered, and
made a move to draw knife, when both
men were arrested. Later Mrs. Evans,
wife of the man arrested, struck with a
whip the leaders in crowd that interfered
with the course of a wagon on which she
was riding. Later Mrs Evans took charge
of a wagon belonging to the Swofford Dry
Goods Company, and, unaided, drove the
team through the crowd unmolested.

Return to Work.

DENVER, Col, March 1.-THE black
smiths, boiler makers and machinists for
merly in the employ of the Colorado &
Southern Railway Company have declared
their strike and boycott off, and the fol-
lowing statement was issued this afternoon:
1.-THE blacksmiths, boiler makers and ma
chinsts formerly employees of the Colorado
& Southern Railway Company desire
through the undersigned authorized COM
mittee to say that the recent strike of the
employees of the railway company was the
result of misunderstanding between the en-
ployes in the blacksmith shops and mis-
representa- ton of their case to the
boiler makers and machinists. The rail-
way company having nothing to do with
the controversy, should not have been
asked to take any part in ii, and we con-
slider that great mistake was made i'm de-
handing any action on the part of the
company. We admit that the company
acted fairly, and we have no one to blame
but ourselves for our boycott, which has
been declared off, is now off, and we wish
the public to know our attitude III the mat
ter"
III. NJ. Herbert, vice president and general
manager of the company, said: This
communication, signed by the executive
committee representing those who left our
mechanical department service strike,
was sent to me yesterday for my informa-
ton and for publication. l understand it
voices the unanimous sentiment of the en-
tire body OF men, and i think clearly vim
dicates the action of the company. This
declares the strike off Internationally, the
only condition which accompanied the pa
per being that the men be treated individu-
ally and that such of them whose services
might be required be permitted to make
application without prejudice. The request
has been granted"

ceedings referred to above refer to numer-
Gus letters which were received and sent
by the committee to the different lodges
and officers of the organization none of
which letters are set out and all of which
and proper understanding of the proceed

condemned by report submitted 10 the
lower house of the Michigan Legislature by
the committee on the Jackson State Prison
The report goes TO show that prisoners are
hired out to contractors for from 30 cents

MERGER CASE EVIDENCE
SPECIAL EXAMINER INGERSOLL,s
REPORT FILED IN COURT.
Effort of the Securities Company to
Introduce Reports of the Inter-
state-Commerce Commission.

ST. PAUL, March 1.-THE report of the
testimony taken before Frederick c. Inger-
SOL, special examiner In the case of the
United States against the Northern Securi-
ties Company, and others has been filed
with the clerk Of the Federal Court. The
rerart comprises four volumes of, approx
Dately, five hundred pages each, and much
o. the testimony has been published from
time to time as it was taken
The filing Of the report makes public for
the first time the proceedings at an inter
esting session held Nov. IL, 1902. in New
York, in which the contentious of the de-
PENDANT are outlined. The Securities Com
pany maintained that its operations are not
I'm violation of the Sherman antitrust act:
that since the passage OF that act other
railway companies have acquired by pur-
chase and lease parallel and con,natirs
lines. frequently under legislative sanction:
that these facts have been reported To the
lnterstate-commerce Commission, and by
the commission to Congress. that the uni
versal, popular and legislative construction
or the Sherman act are that such railway
transactions are not in violation of the
antitrust law.
The attorneys for the Northern Securities
Company endeavored to secure the Inter
state-commerce Commissions reports on the
transactions OF seven railway companies
concerning consolidation. The commission
declined to furnish the reports and the at
torneys for the defendants then asked to he
permitted TO Introduce extracts from Poor's
Manual. containing the desired reports.
This request was denied. Solicitor General
Richards, for the government held that the
proposed evidence was irrelevant and inn
material. saying:
The present suit Is one brought against
the Northern Securities COMPANY the
Great Northern and the Northern Pacific
railway companies and certain stockhold
ers of these two corporations The position
OF the government is that in the forma tion Of
the Northern Securities Company i'm the
way IL was formed, there was n contract
or combination made in restraint OF inter
state and foreign trade. In the answer of
the defendants IL Is insisted that there
was no contract or combination made in re-
straint of such trade That Is proper de-
Tense. and l have no objection to any tes-
tipony tending TO sustain IL. But IL is
further urged on the side OF the defense
that IL there was a contract or combination
made in restraint of trade, other railway
companies have been and are guilty of do
ing substantially the same thing. Is that
any defense? IL other railway companies
did in any way enter into contracts or COM
binations In restraint OF trade among the
several States before the passage OF the
antitrust act, can IL fairly be claimed that
he antitrust act was not Intended to apply
70 such contracts or combinations? The in
ference Is clearly the other way

ARE PORTO RICANS ALIENSs
Question at Issue i'm n Case Before
the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, March lin the United
States Supreme Court a motion was made
to-day by Coudert Brothers, Of New York,
to advance the hearing of the case of Isa-
bella Gonzales. Miss Gonzales is a native
of Porto Rico, about twenty years of age,
who arrived at New York from that island
on or about the fourth day of August 1902.
On her arrival she was detained at Ellis
Island Immigrant Station and was exclud-
ed from admission into the United States
on the ground that she was an allen i'm
migrant likely to become a public charge.
She seeks to secure release on writ OF
habeas corpus. In assigning their reason
for asking to have the case advanced
Messrs. Coudert say:
LAS q further reason for requesting this
honorable court to advance this cause
upon the docket, the appellant alleges that
1t is in the nature of test case, on which
will probably be determined the question
as to whether citizens of Porto Rico and
certain others of our insular possessions
are aliens within the purview of the Con-
stitution and laws of the United States,
and that appellants attorneys are informed
and believe that the officials of the War
and Treasury departments of our govern
ment are anxious for an early opinion on
this question by this honorable court"

cate Accepting $4,000 for Acre.

chilla, the Bolivian minister, has written
the Bolivian syndicate, made up of capital

$4,000 from Brazil for its rights in the
Acre territory now in dispute between
Brazil and Bolivia. and protesting vigor-
ously against such action by the syndicate
The minister said tonight that the taking
of this indemnity by the syndicate he re-
garded as a waiver of its right to exploit
the territory of Acre, now in dispute be-
tween Brazil and Bolivia, and that BOLIVIA
reared Brazil would use the rights obtained
through the purchase of the concession 10
support her claim to the $4,000 square miles
of territory comprised in the Acre region
Bolivia claims that the syndicate Is abso-
lutely without authority to take this action
and that IL Is a violation of the provisions
of the contract under which the syndicate
obtained the concession, transfers of the
concession TO the foreign states or govern
ments, being, he said. prohibited. when
he learned that the syndicate was contem-
plating the transfer of the concession,
Senior Guachilla says he protested against
ii in the name of Bolivia and suggested ar
bitration. but that his proposition was dis
regarded and the Brazilian proposition ac-
cepted.
