AGAINST THE SL0CUM MEN
DemuITerS to FiUe Indictments 4re
OUerruLed.

Judge Thomas in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday overruled the demurrers inter
posed by the defence in the four socum indict-
lnents. The opinion renders good the indictments
found against President Barnaby Treasurer Dexter
Secretary Atkinson. Captain Van Schaicz and Com
modore Pease. of the Knckerbocker Steamboat
company. The indictments against Inspectors
Lundberg and Fleming were sustained in a pre-
vious opinion. When the demurrers were made as
to these five indictments it was said by many law
yers that they would be sustained
The indictments charge that the deaths in the
HIocum disaster were caused by unsafe and IN
serviceable life pTe:orVers. incomplete and unfit
equipment of steam and hand pumps, and the
wrongful neglect of the captain TO discipline and
train his crew. No attempt. it is declared was
made TO cast loose and launch the lfeboats and
Tafts in consequence of which the passengers were
obliged to throw themselves into the water, where
they Were drowned because Of the unfit and un-
seTviceable life preservers
The court reviewed the indictment charging che
officers OF the Knickerbocker Steamboat COMPANY
with aiding and abeting the captain in his neglect
Of duty As to whether Mr.. BarnaIy end the others
could aid and abet the negligence of falling to
discover the unfit condition of the life preservers
the court said that properly it would be the duty
OF a master to refuse to navigate vessel with
imperfect equipment. Judge Thomas holds that il
Is not necessary to show intention or malice in
fact, and that under the statute II was never in
tended by Congress that a corporation should be
permitted to Kill passengers at and be
punished. A corporation capabia of a wrongful act
could be punished Not providing proper life pre-
servers, the court says is destructive activity.
The indictments in the present case" says the
OPINION sufficiently charge both procurement to
neglect doing commanded act and to that which
is a direct violation OF the commanded act"
This opinion Of Judge Thomas said / NJ Dit
tenhoefer Of counsel for the defence "disposes of
one OF the technical questions. and has absolutely
nothing whatever TO do with the question of the
guilt or innocence Of the accused. In his opinion
Judge Thomas simply says: IF the facts as alleged
in the complaint are true crime has been COM
mitted, and the defendants viii be tried
Ex-Judge w. NJ. K. Olcott, also of counsel for the
defence, said 1t rested with the District Attor-
ney whether the officers would have to stand trial
before a jury. It a question, he declared.
whether there sufficient evidence to warrant
bringing them to trial His clients, he said, had
spent their money freely in trying comply with
the law in regard TO fitting the Slocum; there
had been undue economy. He doubted If they
would be brought to trial.

EX-Judge L. H. Gary. chairman of the board Of

The newspaper articles of to-day concerning the
DIVISION OF rates between the Chicago, Lake Shore

limos Steel Company. and other connecting rail
ROADS are hardly justified by the facts. Certainly
lOn or any companies IN which we are interested
TO defy the law. There has lately been rendered q
decision by the Interstate Commerce Commission
Jlal the divisions which have heretofore been made
are not justified; but the decision made wit hout
fuII opportunity the part Of the Chicago, Lake
Shore and Eastern Railway Company to be heard,
ana. as We understand, IN violation Of tact agree
nent. at least that opportunity to submit evidence
would be offered before any decision reached.
In any event, there was a misunderstanding be
tween the members OF the commission and counsel
representing the railway company named so that
the evidence which could have been furnished was
not actually received by the commission 1t IS in
Eastern Railway Company to have the questions in
volved fully investigated, thoroughly considered
and properly adjudicated.
As matter Of fact, the Chicago, Lake Shore and
Eastern Railway Company is the owner of about l5i
miles Of track, and in addition has under lease 155
miles. tt is the owner OF seVenty-one locomotives
and 4330 In the division Of rates which it has
been receiving by voluntary agreement between il

for its haul any mile than the regular
fixed by the Illinois State Railroad and Warehouse
Commission, any greater amount than has been
received generally by other railroads. including
trunk lines for similar service in Illinois and in
other States II is stated by the local management
Of this railway company that there IS no cause for
complaint by against the company
In view of these facts we believe the connecting
railroad companies should continue TO make these

sions until there can be a legal adjudication upon
the subject In this case, as in all other cases, we

,Agents' Reports Result in a Morgan
Purchase of 50 900 900.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


Toronto. Dec. 24.-The firm of J. F. Morgan
& CO. has just bought Canadian Northern Rail-
way bonds amounting TO $5OOOOO0 The Ca
madam Northern already has transcontinental
proportions, and is rapidly penetrating the
great prairie belt between the Canadian Pacific
and the projected route Of the Grand Trunk.
IT is expected TO complete the work within, two
years. The bonds which the Morgan firm has
bought bear interest at per cent and the cash
resulting from their sale viii be used in push-
ing the line westerly from ITS present terminus
In the Saskatchewan Valley across the Rockies
10 the Pacific. The thorough inspection Of the
road by Mr.. Morgan's agents recently was emil
nently satisfactory, as upon their report the
ilrm al once took up big block Of bonds and
eskeo Tor more. The bonds are guaranteed by
the Manitoba government.
The entry OF J. p Morgan & Co into the
nsld or Canadian investment is only a fresh
sign OF the growing consideration which the
Dominion is getting abroad, and in Canadian
financial circles the sale is regarded as mark
ing new era in the financial relations OF Cam
ada and the United States.
