quash the information in the case against
j. W. Morris, stating that II the Court or
Appeals had ruled that it was unlawful for
Congress to pass a law of this character
the Commissioners Of the District of CO.
lumbia certainly did not have the right to

Judge Scott overruled the motion and Mr..
Simmons stated that he would file writ

cleaned it several days later, said Mr.. Car
ter. as he displayed the paper.

MR.. SHEARN CLOSES
ARRANGEMENT OF THE COAL
CARRYING RAILROADS.

The closing argument was made today
before the interstate commerce commission
In the case of Hearst against the anthracite
coal roads by Clarence j. Shearn,- attorney
for the complainant. The matter was then
taken under consideration by the commits
sion, printed briefs of the case being sub
mitted by each side to the controversy, and
an opinion will be given later. The hand
ing down of this opinion will not necessarily
settle the case, since the powers OF the
commission do not extend to the actual
ability to force the railroads to obey its
behests. If refusal is made by the roads
the case must be then taken by the COM
mission to United States court and ODE
dence asked through that channel.
Among the caustic comments upon the
arguments advanced by the counsel for the
defendant roads during the trial of the
case. Mr.. Shearn said that he felt that
the charge that the complainant had
brought the action for the purpose of ad-
vancing his political ambitions or for other
wise achieving notoriety would not for
moment have one jot or little of weight
with the ultimate decision of the commits
sion yet at the same time he felt that his
duty to his client was to refute that charge
as unworthy of the men who had made 1t,
and ridiculous in the extreme. He referred
to the argument of counsel for the DEFEND
ants wherein they had said that II the rates
on coal to the seaboard were reduced the
loss would be felt by the miner, who was
working under the sliding scale arrange
ment, and said:
such an argument would provoke
smile from the gods on Olympus after they
had listened to the argument of the same
roads before the strike commission two
years ago, at which time the argument
was that the rates were made for the pro-
lection of the consumer and that the miner
had no claims before that body. 1t Is
singular that now these same roads wish
to protect the miner whom they at that
time repudiated."
He collectively and severally denounced
the railroads against which Mr. Hearst
had brought his action for their work In
attempting to belittle the case by the as
sumption that the complainant had brought
the action for any motive other than a
broad philanthropic purpose. one which he
felt was justified by his patriotic Amerl-
canism.
Prior to the closing argument of Mr..
Shearn the case had been argued for the
defendant roads by George F. Brownell,
first vice president and general solicitor for
the Erie: Walter W. Ross, general attorney
for the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern; Francis /. Gowan of the Pennsylvania,
but acting in this case for the Lehigh VAL
ley, and Judge Campbell, general solicitor
for the Reading. Their arguments were all
closed Saturday, and the case closed today
with the arraignment made by Mr.. Shearn.

SEPARATE STATEHOOD
The ReCOnveniDg Ofthe Indian Terri
 tory Convention.

Muskogee, I. T.. Oct. S.-A call was issued today for the recOnvening of the constitutional convention at South Me Alester, Oct 12, by the chairman, Chief Pleasant Porter The call simply says the corrected draft of the constitution is to be signed, but it is understood that the meeting is primarily for the purpose of eliminating the clause in the constitution providing for the open shop to which labor unions have ser iously objected.
 Leaders of the separate statehood movement admit now that the clause is a mistake, which unless eliminated, will result in the combined opposition of organized labor and the defeat of statehood. Labor leaders are jubilant over the turn affairs have taken and say that with the objectionable fea- ture out, organized labor will heartily support the separate state movement and the proposed constitution.

KANSAS CITY MARKET
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo-, oct. S.-Heavy cattle supplies and weakness in prices have been the rule the past week. Me dium weight range steers, selling at S325 to $3.5O, suitable either for pack CTS or for the country, had some ad- vantage in the competition, and held steady, but common stockers and rough feeders declined Is to g cents, and sold mainly at S2.75 to $3.25. Fillers also sold lower. at $500 to SS.S5 mainly, and cows also lost 10 to 15 cents, in
 cluding canners, selling at $2.25 to $2.65
 with a few punches up to $500. Inn mense receipts of calves keep coming receipts more than 10000 in the last three weeks, 35 per cent more than ever before in a like period at Kansas City. Nice light veals are scarce, and sell at S5.OO to $6.OO but heavy calves averaged medium to poor in quality. and sell at $3 to $4. Demand from the country was better than any previous time this season, and $50 car loads went out. Supply of cattle today is 21.00O head, about the same as a week ago, but demand is better and prices steady on everything, cows strong, and corn fed cattle 10 higher. This week is the American Royal live stock show and sales, an event which always brings a large attendance of feeder buyers looking for high class stuff.
 Sheep receipts last week 5000 head, run today 1000. Prices declined 15 to 25 cents on killing sheep and lambs last week, but demand from the country was large enough to hold prices nearly steady on that kind. A consignment of p doubles of breeding ewes from Idaho sold late last week at $4.50, weighing 102 pounds. Feeding lambs sell at S5.50 to $6 Market is strong, lambs for slaughter at $6 to $6.75, wethers and yearlings $4.60 to $5.OO ewes $4 to $40. Demand is plenty large enough to absorb any runs like ly to come and prices will be governed by volume of receipts, as on that will depend the amount of competition aroused. That is to say, there is no danger of the market becoming de-

THE BURIAL OF A HERO
For Once the Apathy of St. Peters,
 burg Was Broken.

St Petersburg, Oct. S.-The arrival of the body of Major General Konda- chenlO, commander of the Seventh East Siberian Iifies, who was killed last December at Port Arthur, and its interment in the venerable Alexander Nevsky monastery today was marked by the most impressive military and civil spectacle witnessed here since the early days of the war. For once all classes of the population of the capital awakened from that apathy which was untouched even by news of the battle of Mul1den and sea of Jap an, or the announcement of the con clusion of peace.
 Thousands of spectators, standing silent and uncovered in a drizzling rain, walled the broad Nevsky Pros pect from the Moscow station to the gates of the monastery while grand dukes, ministers of state. courtiers and the highest officers of the army and navy, many of whom had won dis tinction at Port Arthur and in Man churia, followed the coffin on foot. There had been a general participation in one service by both Russian and Episcopal priests.
