Chillingworth Asks
THAT HE BE
Given Speedy Trial

Chas. +. Chillingworth. through his
counsel, Frank +. Thompson and Geo.
A. Davis, this morning presented to
Judge Robinson motion asking that
in the case against him and Lau Yum
Hoo. charged with extortion. he be CIV
en- a separate trial, and also q motion
70 have his case set for trial on March
20.
The motions were accompanied by
an affidavit by the defendant. In which
he states that a trial together With
Lau Yum Hoo, would prejudice his In.
terests. Furthermore he had engaged
separate counsel for the case.
Thompson read the motion which
was argued by Davis. The Attorney
General replied and was answered by
Thompson. The court granted the mo
ton for a separate trial.
In the afiidavit affixed to the motion
for speedy trial Chillinworth stated
that he was unable to obtain employ
ment sufficient for the support Of his
wife and children as long as the cases
against him were pending. He als6
dwelt upon the suspicion with which
he was regarded by many reputable
people. His reputation suffered as Ions
as the cases were pending, and he ,.5x
ed that the case be set for trial on
March 20.
The court continued the hearing OF
this motion until next Saturday.

MEETING OF TOE BAR
THIS AFTERNOON
MAY BE WARM time

There promises to be some warmth
In the session of the Bar Association
to be held at 4 o'clock this afternoon
in the Republican headquarters.
The call for the meeting says It Is
for the purpose of considering the
request Of the Attorney General to in
vestigate certain complaint filed In
the Supreme Court by Mr.. S. NJ. Ballou
against Mr.. ]. A. Magoon, charging
him with misconduct as an attorney"
The warmth Of the session Is likely
to come from the query by some Of the
members II not a goodly number, IA
to what business the Bar Association
has In advising the Attorney General
on what he shall do A number Of at.
torneys think that 1t is up to the At
torney General to decide for himself
what he shall do In investigating case
brought to his attention. Some are
brought to this conclusion because they
think Magoon. II he is put on trial.
Is entitled to a trial unprejudiced by
premeditated influence from the Bar
Association or anywhere else. They
think that II Andrews wants to do
anything to Magoon or believes he
should be prosecuted then Andrews
should 60 ahead without bringing In
the Bar Association to approve or dis.
approve his course.
The Bar Association once allowed II.
self to be brought into an unenviable
position by pulling the chestnuts out

General Knox on one action Of the As

HoNoRINe MISS WILLARD

At the exercises held in connection
with the placing of a statue of Frances
E. Willard in statuary hall in Wash
ington, one of the speakers in paying
tribute to her memory said that she
was the most widely loved woman in
the United States. And it is true that
much of the success won for the cause
she championed may be attributed to
the dead leaders, lovable personality.
All civilized countries today know to
their sorrow different class of femi-
nine leaders, strident voiced women
who seem to consider their scorn of
social amenities and social graees an
evidence Of mental and moral supe-
rfority. Worthy causes have suffered
from the championship of such women.
But Miss Willard was not OF their kind.
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-02-20
THE EAST AND WEST

Gov. Johnson in his address before
the Merchants club at Chicago Satur-
day evening pointed the subservience
of congress to the dictation of those
few Eastern states in which is gather
ed the representative corporate wealth
of the country. His remarks compel
attention to the domination of the
country by the interests enjoying spe-
cial privileges at the expense of the
great producing states. And he made
no attack on property rights. He in
dicated the danger that menaced the
republic through the indifference of
the dominant powers to the rights and
demands of the people. He made de-
mand on the men of the wealth pro-
ducing states that they assert them
selves and protect their own rights.
Gov. johnson is not a pioneer in
this field, but he gives evidence of a
grasp of his subject, of deep feeling in
matter that must be righted If the
country is to attain it's greatest devel-
opment. Out Of the Middle West must
come the movement that will equalize
the burdens of government. The men
of the states which contribute most to
the wealth of the country must arise
in their might and assert their right to
an equal share in the direction of the
government. Under the present con-
ditions the empire of the West is the
vassal of the East. There is no want
of union between the people of these
regions, they are actuated by the same
desires for the welfare of the whole,
but their will is set at naught by the
activity and influence of a small coterie
of men representing privileged interests
concentrated in the East.
AS Gov. Johnson says, the remedy
for this condition is not to be found
in the application of theories exploited
by men who attack property rather
than the abuse of it's rights. A quicken
ing of the public conscience effectively
displayed in the voting booth will pro-
cure for the producing states of the
West the rights they are denied by the
men who dominate the government and
whose selfish interests are served at
the expense of the producers of the
United States.

job will have no time for anything
else.
Now the time of the president is al
ready more than occupied. From
morning until night he is fairly rushed
to death with the demands upon him.
If he gave to- the Panama work the
attention that it demands he could do
nothing else. If he gives to the regu-
that ii demands, he can do nothing
else. The arrangement proposed is an
utter absurdity. 1t can have no other
effect than to place more power in the
hands of the executive without gain.
ing anything in the conduct of the
country's business. He must in any
event rely upon the advice of others.
The proper way to go about this
matter is to select canal commission
of real experts. Instead of appointing
men with a political pull or making
soft places for senators who have fail
ed OF reelection, let the commission
obtain men of the highest ability in en-
gineering, in financing and in the sci
entiffc and practical detail required by
this work. Then there will be no need
to turn it over to the president, and no
difficulty in carrying it out to the hon.
or and profit of the country. The
pronoSifion now co favored hy coporaSc
is mere item in the long roll of mad
things that congress appears ready to
do to satisfy the executives thirst for
ever more and more authority.
