Naval Trial of Bennington's Com

Mare Island, CAL, Sept. 19.-Tne
courtmartial for the trial of Comman-
der Young, who was in command or
the United States gunboat Benning-
ton when it's boilers exploded in San
Diego harbor, convened yesterday.
Young pleaded not guilty to each OF
the six charges against him. The
logs for the last days of November
and December, 1904, were offered in
evidence. Ensign Sahm of the Ben
nington testified that Young was in
command of the Bennington from No,
vember, 1904, to July Fl, 1905, with
the exception of brief suspension at
Panama. He said that on July q,
boiler B, exploded, being forced aft
against the bulkhead between the fore
and aft fire rooms. The Bennington's
hull books were produced and identi-
fed by the witness and offered in
evidence. Judge Gear objected and
after discussion Read Admiral Glass
upheld the objection and the books
were not produced in evidence. nmil
F'redrickson, a water tender of the
Bennington's forward fire room, was
sworn and the court adjourned.

PACKERS DENY
JURISDICTION
FILE PLEAS IN ABATEMENT,
ATTACKING JURY.
QUESTION COURTS POWER
Chicago Capitalists Charged With
Maintaining Meat Trust Claim
That Indictments Were illegally
Found and That Grand Jury Was
Improperly Constituted.

Chicago, Sept 19-By pleas in
abatement the attorneys representing
II packers and other persons indicted
on charges of conspiracy in trust to
monopolize the meat business attacked
the position of the government yester-
day The attack was made against
the impaneling Of d jury; the alleged
improper service of summons on John
Murray, one of the jurors; the unlaw-
full presence of stenographer in the
grand jury room during the hearing,
ami the subsequent writing of short
hand notes; that the Indictment was
returned in the eastern division OF
Illinois, although the jury which found
the Indictment was sitting in the
northern division Of the northern dis
trict. The plea was fled late yester-
day afternoon with District Attorney
c. 3. Morrison, after an all days con-
ference between Attorney John S.
Miller, general counsel for the pack
ers, and a number of associate coun-
sci in the case. There were no court
proceedings and the plea has not yet
been properly filed with the clerk OF
the district court, but this will be done
today
The main ground OH which the ue-
PENDANTS stand in their plea is the
presence of John Murray on the jury
1t is their claim that the jury was
drawn from the box previous TO March
8, at which time a law redistricting
the northern district of Illinois went
into effect. Previous to this, Kanka-
kee county, the home of John Murray,
! was in the northern division of the
northern district of Illinois. By the
terms of this new law this county was
placed in the eastern division and
therefore not within the jurisdiction
of the court. To substantiate the al
legation that the jury was illegal and
incompetent because of Murrays pres
ence, it is declared in the plea that
| Murray was served on March 8, five
days after the enactment of the law
moving Kankazee county from this
division, by deputy marshal of
anotheri division of the, district.

as unsatisfactory and much disap-
pointment has been expressed that it
was impossible to clear UP the mys-
terry.
The scenes about the courthouse
while the jury was locked up in the
consideration of it's verdict, were dra-
matte The heavy rain which had
marked the early afternoon ceased
soon after o'clock and the small
audience which witnessed the closing
scenes of the inquest was increased
until the circuit courtroom was
crowded as at the previous sessions
When the jury retired the crowd did
not disperse, but waited patiently in
the courtroom while others congregat-
ed in the courthouse square, until it
seemed as if nearly every one in Gran
don was in that vicinity, anxiously
waiting for the result to be announced.

BULLET TEARS OFF
AUTO DRIVERS HAT

Darlington, Wis, Sept. 19.-Frank
11rego, a mine owner of Platteville,
was shot at by a farmer and a bullet
pierced his hat, while driving his auto
mobile through the country near Cuba
City. The farmer, who is said to be
a wealthy and well known man living
near here, was driving along the road
when the machine came up in the
rear The horses were scared, it is
alleged, and Trego did not stop. Then
the horses dashed into the fence along
the way and the farmer trembling
with fright and anger, according to
the story told the district attorney,
drew a 38-caliber revolver. Had the
bullet struck inches iower it would
probably have killed Trego. The hat
was torn from his head.

STATE WINS
A DECISION
important Ruling by
Circuit Jud &c
Stevens
Holds That axes Are
Mot Within Statute
Of Limitations
Recovery Will Be for
Twenty Instead Of
Six Years
Madison. Sent. 10.


The railroads are. liable to the state
for the payment of the license fees
which they owe the state by deduct
ing rebates from gross earnings for
a period of 20 years. 1t has been as
certained that the railroads have for
a period of seven years failed to pay
the state some $3.50, 900 in license fees
and the amount which the state will
col ect in this way for the full period
of 20 years is said to be far in excess
OF $1,000,000.
This is the effect of the decision
rendered by Judge Stevens in the cir
cult court yesterday Under the de-
cision the railroads will be compelled
to make complete discovery and &C
counting to the state for the past ~
years. AS the examination Of the
books for seven years revealed that
there were deducted in that time in
rebates and by not including charges
which properly beiong in gross earn
ings reports $10,000,000 it is estimated
that for the full 20 years the amount
upon which the state should have re-
ceived license fees will exceed $685.
000, 900
The railroads made a motion to
compel the state to make its COM
plants more definite and certain"
by setting out a cause of action for
each year separately. If they had
been successful in this they would
have made disclosures of earnings for
six years last past instead of 20 and
set up the statute of limitations as
bar to the recovery of any sum that
might have been due the state prior to
the year 1899. The state contended
that but one cause of action was al
legged in the complaint and there was
no ground for urging that the com
plant be made more definite and
certain" The railroads claimed that
the unpaid license fees or taxes were
a debt due the state and that the
same should have been recovered by
the state in an action against the com
panes at. the end Of each year. The
state claimed that the taxes we're not
debts and that the state had no right
of action for their recovery until the
passage of chapter 328 of the laws of
1905
Judge Stevens decided in favor OF
the contention of the state that taxes
were not debts and that but one cause
of action was set out in the complaint,
thus necessarily deciding also that
the statute Of Limitations had not r.
upon any unpaid license fees due the
state The court after stating it's
position and citing authorities in sup
port of the same states:
~The court concludes that the COM
plant states but one cause of action.
1t follows that the motion must be de-
MED. Plaintiffs counsel may pre-
pare the proper order, providing that
the time to answer be extended to
September 30th, upon condition that
defendant consents that the cause
may be noticed for trial by either
party and placed at the foot OF the
calendar in the proper class of actions
at the October term of this court"
