Owen Makes Affidavit.
Before going to the embassy Mr.. Owen
made an affidavit which he called t.
the attention of the embassy. alleging
that Grant had publicly declared himself
q polygamist in Utah. and that he fled
the state after a warrant for his arrest
had been issued, and that while still a
fugitive he was appointed a delegate to
the school hygiene congress.
The German ambassador does not con-
slider that his government has any con-
troll over the International congress of
school hygiene. Consequently IL is be-
beved he viii take no action in reference
to Owens request. Mr.. Owen said tha
ambassador expressed amazement, how
ever, that the governor or a state should
officially designate or that a states rep
resentative in a body Of representative
people be a known fugitive from justice.
Owen viii present the petition to the
state department tomorrow Owen says
he did not anticipate the ambassador
would take action, the object of his move
being TO call attention to Mormon prac-
tees.

HEARST WINS A POINT
IN FIGHT ON COAL TRUST
Supreme Court ReVerSeS the Decision of the Cir
cult Bench
Contracts Between the Railroad Companies and the Coal Com
panies Will Have to Be Produced.

In passing upon this point. Justice
Day said:
The railroads are all engaged in in
terstate commerce and into their at
fairs and methods of doing business the
commission ought 10 and is lawfully at
thorized by the commerce act TO make
investigation. The commission has thu
right TO know how interstate traffic Is
conducted, the relations between the
carrier and its shippers. and the rates
charged and collected. We see no rea-
son why contracts Of this character
which have direct relation to a large
amount of carrying trade. can be with
held from examination as evidence.
at is to be remembered that we are
not dealing with the ultimate facts OF
controversy or deciding which of the
contending claims will be finally estab-
lished. This is a question of relevancy
of proof before a body not authorized to
make final judgment. but TO investi-
gate and make orders which may or
may not he finally embodied in judg-
ments or DEGREES of court. It may be
that commission or the courts Will Ill
timately find that the contracts do not
fix the compensation received by the
carriers. and as claimed the full rate
is paid by these purchasing companies,
it is made up on other business; the
question concerns the relevancy of
proof and not whether it finally estab-
fishes the issue made one way or the
other. The inquiry of a board of the
character Of the interstate commerce
commission should not be too narrowly
constrained by technical rules as to the
admissibility OF proof.
Iron Company Contracts.
As to the Temple Iron company con-
tracts the court said:
1T is argued that these contracts as
given in evidence will tend to show a
pooling of freight i'm violation of the
fifth section of the commerce act.
While this testimony may not establish
such an arrangement, IL has, in our
opinion, a legitimate bearing upon the
question. There is a division of freight
among several railroads whereby. by
agreement or otherwise. the companies
have a common interest in the source
from which it is obtained. Further
more. we think the testimony cOmpet-
ent as bearing upon the manner in
which transportation rates are fixed
I'm view to determining the question Of
reasona bleness of rates into which the
commission has a right 10 inquire. To
unrea sOnably hamper the commission
by narrowing the field OF inquiry be-
yond the requirements of the due pro-
lection of rights Of citizens viii be to
seriously impair it's usefulness and
prevent a realization of the salutary
purposes for which it was esta blished
by congress"
Justice Brewer dissented, but did not
deliver an opinion.

Butte. Mont, April Election day

Of interest shown as in most Of the

In Butte the Antitrust and Labor
parties combined and elected five al

the Democrats two.
In Anaconda the election Of four
Democrats and two Republicans for al
