Chicago. April 1O-The contents of eight mys-

Service men in the vaults Of the National Safe
Deposit Company. occupied the attention to-day
Of the federal grand jury. which is Investigating
the Beef Trust. A subpoena duces tecum for

to force the company TO produce the trunks in
the jury room. The trunks were taken 10 the
Office of District Attorney Morrison. where. it
is said, they were opened and their contents ex-
amined.
What the trunks contained and what their
connection with the present investigation might
be were unknown TO those outside of the jury
room, as government officers refused to discuss
the subject.
Il don't know thing about these trunks"

served with the subpoena. L cannot say who
deposited the trunks in the vaults because that

PROTEST TO THE GOVERNOR
NesO York Realty Men Object to
Mortgage Tar Bill.
iBT TEnEORAPH TO THE TRTRuSEl

Albany. April 10.-Arguments against the
Mortgage Tax bill were resumed before Governor
Higgins this afternoon at the first hearing on
that measure since It passed into his hands.
Edmund L Baylies. B. Aymar Sands and other
representatives OF New-York City real estate
interests pleaded that the enactment OF the law
would upset real estate and financial markets
and produce a detrimental effect that would be
felt everywhere in the State. AIr. Baylies de-
clared that the normal 4 per cent rate OF inter
est on first class mortgages now paid by saw
ings banks would be wiped out Early this
evening there was a rumor that the Governor
intended TO sign the bin Immediately, but this
he personally denied
What real estate interests would favor"
said Mr.. Sands, lis q recording tax OF 4 of i
per cent On all mortgages. and without eXemp-
tion from local taxation. This could be i'm
posed through a stamp tax. and il would net
the state S1.5OO.OOO a year. the entire amount
OF this tax going into the State treasury. We
are told that If this bin before you is found to
be detrimental il can be repealed at the end OF
the year. We say TO you that the harm win be
done then"
The chief OF objections to tax such as you
propose" the Governor said, ''is that in some To-
calites-Utica and some towns in my own
county. for instance-mOrtgages pay a local tax
Of from 21s 10 Ok per cent, while IN other To-
calities the mortgages evade the taxation
our proposition is to impose a record tax
FOR the States benefit. not an annual tax The
new business on mortgages would give million
and a half IN revenue" Mr.. Sands replied He
said that he was IN favor OF a record tax all
papers fled as il was fair method OF getting
a. property values.
Why should you take up a bill which Gre
ates an unreasonable taxi Mr.. Sands contin-
ued. AT best you can expect only $4,000 the
first year from It. and il has no compensating
advantages. II seems unwise TO appoint tax
commission TO revise tax laws. as is con;em-
plated. and then embarrass the committee by
signing such q bill We also In favor Of the
optional securities tax as a substitute. II win
yield from 100000 70 100000 year
There is this objection TO that form Of tax"
Governor Higgins replied When the local
assessors came around the property holder
would say that he had paid the optional secur-
ities tax. and local interests would suffer Money
would find its way into forms of securities
which would he relieved OF taxation, and the
localities would lose"

WOULD REVIVE OLD EVIL.
Bill Restoring Body Executions
Called Dangerous.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BuNE.l

Albany. April 10-A bill now under consider
alton by the Cities Committee Of the Assembly
and already passed by the Senate is generally
regarded here as one Of the most dangerous
measures of the session, since 1t aims to repro
duce an evil which The Tribune three years ago
exposed fully in New-York, and which various
philanthropic institutions including the Uni
versity Settlement and the Legal Aid Society
combined TO remedy by legislation.
This measure is Senator Elsberg's bill restor-
ing body executions. and therefore imprison-
ment for debt, for amounts under 500 in In
stalment transactions where jewelry is bought
The bin exactly serves the interests that fought
the enactment Of the existing law. and, If passed
would. IN the judgment Of New-York charity
workers, cause a return to conditions which
were fully set forth in these columns al the
time, and have now. result OF the present
law, practically disappeared.

ALASKA INTEGRAL PART.
Supreme Court So Decides-Juries
Mast Number T7ceIUe.

Washington, April 1O.-The Supreme Court of the
United States to-day held that portion OF the
Alaska code providing for jury Of six men TO be
unconstitutional The opinion was by Justice
White and was based the ground that Alaska
IS part Of the territory Of the United States in
the full sense of the word.
The case in which the opinion was rendered was
that OF Fred Rasmussen agt the Emitted States
Rasmussen was indicted for keeping a disorderly
house. and took exception to being tried bv a Jury
Of only six members.
Justice Brown dssented from the finding of the
court and Justice Harlan. while concurring in the
result, delivered an independent opinion in which
he announced wide divergence from the reasoning
by which the result arrived at
The question at issue in the case was whether
Congress had the power under the Sixth Amend.
ment 10 the Constitution to deny one accused in
Alaska OF a misdemeanOr the right of a trial by
a common law jury OF twelve. and the court decid-
ed that II had not such a right
The court said the contention that Alaska is not
incorporated into and part of the United States
is devoid Of merit and therefore the doctrine rs
TO unncorporated territory is inapposite and lends
no support to the contention that Congress in leg
islating for Alaska had authority violate the ex-
press commands Of the Sixth Amendment
The second point raised was that even il Alaska
was Incorporated into the United States the pro
visions Of the Sixth Amendment were not control
ling on Congress In view Of the fact that Alaska
not organized Territory" The court held
that the unsoundness of the proposition is concIu-
s4NeIS eslsiOiISHed Dy q long line OF decisions
Justice White added Without attempting TO ex-
anime in detail the opinions in the various cases
in our Judgment IL clearly results from them that
they substantially rested upon the proposition tEat
where territory was a part of the United States
the inhabitants thereof were entitled to the guar
antee Of the Fifth. Sixth and Seventh amendments
and that the act or acts Of Congress purportug TO
extend the Constitution were considered declar-
atOry merely Of result which existed fudepen-
IDENTIFY by the inherent operation of the Constitu-
ton
The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution. being
applicable to Alaska. was controlling on Congress
In gisiating for Alaska, II follows, SAYS the
court. that the provision Of the act Of Congress
under consideration, deprivinS persons accused OF
misdemeanOr in Alaska OF right to trial by a
common law Jury. was repugnant to the Constitu-
ton and void
court Of Alaska, was reversed and the case re-
manded with directions 10 grant new trial.
