NO FAITH IN THE COURTS
Mccall Says Their Decisions jump with
the Administrations.

Washington, Feb. S.-The first voice
to be raised in the house against the
proposed legislation to regulate rail
way rates is that of Mccall Of Massa-
chusetts, who, in the debate on the
Esch- Townsend bill, maintained that it
was incompatible with the fundamen-
tai principles of private property. The
granting of authority to the interstate
commerce commission TO fix rates, he
said was crossing the line between
regulation and confscation in man
ner that outraged the most patent prin-
ciples of justice, and he inquired if any
one could imagine Il more ideal method
for the destruction of private property,
and one more likely to corrupt the
American people.
The powers vested by the bill, he
said were too vast and dangerous to
be welded by any political govern
ment, and were likely to lead to gov
eminent ownership of railroads over
the pathway of coniiscation. The very
air, he said, vibrated with the demands
of an aroused public appetite. But
who imagines," he inquired, that the
supreme court of the United States
will stand between the national gov
eminent and its victims"
He declared Immediately afterward
that unfortunately there was dispo-
sition on the part of the courts to up
hold the policy of the party in power.
Despairing that the railroads would
get the protection TO which they were
entitled Mccall said that if the lid Of
this Pandoras box should be removed
everything would escape from it but
hope. He declared it would be better
to let the STRIDES between the cities
and the railroads 90 on than TO set up
n little machine or deity. such as the
Enlarged commission proposed would

MONEY FOR INDIAN EDUCATION
Trust Funds Of the Reds May tie Granted
To schools Conducted by
Churches.

Washington, Feb. 6. - President
Roosevelt has sent letter to Secretary
Hitchcock on the subject of authority
for granting contracts for the educa
ton Of Indians in denominationai
schools. The president says that mas
much as the legal authority exists to
grant the request of the Indians, un
questionably they are entitled by moral
right TO have their money used to
educate their children at the schools
they choose.
The president directs that the interi
or department continue practice un.
less congress directs otherwise or the
courts hold that the decision of the de
partment Of justice to this effect il
wrong. The money referred TO is the
interest on the trust funds owned by
the Indians. which so far has only been
made available by two churches. No
congressional appropriation can be used
for sectarian education.

COURT PROBING 4 MURDER
Trial of Erickson at MenOminee for the
Murder of Gust Adams Has
Been Begun.

Menominee, Mich. Feb. s. - Hun
dreds of persons are unable TO gain adj
mittance to the court room where the
trial of Charles Erickson has begun
for the murder of his partner and
brOtherin-law, Gust Adams, in their
saloon on the night Of Sept. 30, 1903.
Eight witnesses were examined and all
testified TO the good character of Erick-
son. Charles Wilkins, station agent at
Nathien, testified that he heard three
shots about 1890 o'clock on the night
Of Sept 80. 1868, in the direction of
Adams saloon. but thought nothing OF
il as shooting was common around
there.
Charles Adams. brother of the muir
dered man. seemed nervous on the wit
ness stand. On cross-eXamination he
denied having a quarrel with his
brother Sept. 80, while drunk; denied
having improper familiarity with his
brothers wife, but admitted that he
had talked with her of her husband
life insurance. Even if Erickson is
cleared this trial probably will bring
out some valuable disclosures as TO
who may be the real murderer.

Mccall Distrusts the
Courts.

Washington, Feb. S.-Afte- con-
tinuous sitting of almost nine hours
the senate at $40 p. IN. yesterday
passed the joint statehood bill. As
passed the bill provides for the adj
mission of the states of Oklahoma, to
be composed Of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, and New Mexico according
to the present boundaries, with Ari-
IONA eliminated The long session was
characterized by exciting incidents and
many surprises. | eginning promptly
upon the converting at u o'clock the
senate proceeded to consider the vai-
Gus amendments which had been sug-
gested by the committee on territories,
and which had been passed over.
No Tanglefoot for Twenty One Years.
One of the first of these taken up
was the amendment prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors in what is
now Indian Territory for the next ten
years, and this was displaced with Il
substitute offered by Gallinger which
extended the amendment TO the entire
state for a period of twenty-one years,
and this was adopted.
Some "In. and-Out" Voting.
The most important surprise of the
day came on Bard's amendment, which
had been originally offered by Patter-
son. and which provided for the adj
mission of New Mexico as state
without the addition of Arizona. This
amendment proved TO be the point
around which all the subsequent pro-
ceedings Of Importance revOlved. 1t
was at first adopted by the close vote
of 40 to 40. This vote was taken while
tie senate was sitting in committee of
the whole and was reversed i'm the SEN
ate proper by the tie vote of IS to 3S.
Subsequently the senate decided by a
vote Of 80 to SO to entirely eliminate
New Mexico and Arizona from the
bill. and this result had hardly been
announced when Bard i'm slightly
changed FORM renewed his proposition
for the admission of New Mexico as
state.
Arizona Left Out in the Cold.
This time the amendment prevailed
by the vote of 10 to 81. One Of the
affirmative votes was. however, cast
by Beveridge. in charge of the bill,
for the purpose Of moving the recon
sideratiOn of the vote. He was prompt
in entering this motion as soon as the
result was announced, but the motion
was laid upon the table by a vote of
80 to IS The effect was to eliminate
Arizona from the bill, and to establish
a state of New Mexico and another
Of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. In
this form the bill passed.

THE WHITE CTTT.
Large Crowds Appreciate Free Outdoor
 VaudevIIIe-FireworI Tonight.

The amusement loving public has shown great appreciation of the fine outdoor vaudeville at the White City this week. Each day the crowds have been greater, as they always are when people who have seen a good show tell their friends.
 Lee W. Schuyler, the worlds great est straight and backward somersault diver, gives a wonderful performance. His back somersauIt dive from nine ty foot staging into four feet of water is a perilous feat. which he accom- plishes with the grace of a bird.
 It is remarkable the attention Dare Devil Castellane attracts after almost two weeks riding. Throngs flock to see him every afternoon and evening. He jumps the gap and loops the loop and gap like The Little Demon" that he is. It is a marvel to everyone how he keeps his seat on his bicycle during his lightning ride.
 Prof. FeIdman with his trained pigs and goats is making great hit. Over a thousand people saw Ncik. the gen tleman pig, make his thirty-five foot jump into a net yesterday afternoon and as many more saw Joe leap the gap. This is great performance for the children as weeli as the old folks and should not be missed.
 An unusually fine display of fire works will be given this evening.
