CANNOT STAND PULL.
Magistrate to Resign Rather Than
Be Ruled by Politicians.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Magistrate e.
Castor Higginbotham of Brooklyn.
better known as the kissing magis-
%trate," because of the success he has
had in patching up domestic troubles
red before him in the Fourth district
court of Brooklyn, contemplates resign
ing from the bench, and in giving his
reasons for deserving a judicial position
he has held with signal success for five
years declares that he cannot stand the
constant interference of local politi-
clans in the work of his court. He
makes serious ~insinuations against
certain men downtown who have
been trying to stultify the magistrates
by having offenders, obviously guilty
Of violating the law, freed when their
cases were before the grand jury or the
court of general sessions.
Magistrate Higginbotham was loath
to go into details. but he did say in sub
stance that it is an impossibility to do
justice to all and Mt the same time
please certain politicians. He pointed
out that time and again, with every
evidence that persons brought before
him We're guilty of serious Offenses be-
fore the law. prisoners have been freed
by the higher courts. Further than
making these i|nsinuations of intolera-
bic pressure from downtown" he
would say nothing.

PEACEFUL REVOLUTION.
Policy of Reconciliation Accepted by
Irish Nationalist.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-William O'Brien,
the Irish member of parliament, in the
course of an interview here said Il
peaceful revolution is going IN in Ire
land.
The policy of Cancellation, he said, is
now almost universally accepted by the
Nationalists. including the Orange de-
mocracy. The change had not attracted
much attention in England, but every
one in Ireland knows the change has
taken place.
The recent victory in West Belfast,
Mr.. O'Brien said, was won only
through the assistance of Protestant
workmen, and the growing alliance be-
tween the Nationalists and Unionists
of Ireland is acknowledged not only by
John Redmond, but by those who a few
months ago con%scientiously opposed the
policy of Cancellation.
Nj. O'Brien said the new attitude of
the Nationalists would do much to re-
move friction and facilitate the new
government enormously in dealing with
the Irish question.

HORSE THIEVES
DON'T PAY FEES
Lawyer Stricken Denies the In
situation that He Was En-
plOyed By Them.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. IA
Lawyer Joseph Stricken. of Perth
Amboy, waxed eloquent in court yes
terday in an effort to have Judge
Strong reduce the bail of Charles
Goldberg, of Perth Amboy, who has
been in Jail for several months await
ing trial on a charge of horse steal
ing. Judge Strong some time g
fixed the bail at $500 and since then
the lawyer has been trying to get il
reduced to 5000.
The lawyer told the court that
twenty-one days ago the court had
said that if the prosecutor should not
move the case within twenty days
that he would consider a motion to
reduce the bail.
Prosecutor Berdine said that the
case is about ready to go on now.
There are four defendants who will
nave to be tried Jointly, he explained
and he has to consult the convenience
OF four lawyers. He has notified Law
yers Cowenhoven and Silzer to have
their men in court February 81, at
which time he will arraign them and
fix a day for trial early in March, he
said. He wanted a definite day, as
he will have to get New York police
officials here for the trial. He said
that Simon is out on $500 bail and
that Schweiler and G%oldberger are
out on $500 bail. He said that he
would be willing to have $500 fixed
for Goldberg.
Lawyer Stricken said that he would
give bail himself if it should be fixed
at $500. Judge Strong said that he
would compromise and fix the amount
at $500. Lawyer Stricken replied
that that would be practically re-
handing the man, as he could not get
$500 bail. Judge Strong said that
he would do more, he would reduce it
to $3.50.
Lawyer Stricken said that if the
court would chop off another $50 he
would risk it himself. Judge Strong
asked him why he would not give
$3.50 as readily as $500 if he thought
the man would not run away.
Instead of answering, the lawyer
switched off and took a fling at the
newspapers. He said that one paper
had printed a statement that an or
ganized band of horse thieves was
furnishing this money for bail, and
that he was in the employ of such a
band. He said that he hoped the
court did not believe that.
Judge Strong replied that he does
not consider any such statements un-
less there is proof of it. The papers,
he said, often print such statements
on the strength of rumors.
Then Mr.. Stricken formally entered
denial that he had had any connec-
ton with a band of horse thieves.
Some other matters interveied and
then the lawyer brought up the mat
ter of the bail again and tried to get
the court to reduce the amount, but
Judge Strong insisted upon the $3.50
bail. And Goldberg is still in Jail.

HEINZE SELLS
COPPER MINE.
AmaIsanated Copper Gets all
Montana Plahts:1Standard Oil
Men Buy W Rival.

BUTTE, Mont, FEB. HI. Augustus
Heinze has sold to the Amalgamated
Copper company all his interests in Sill
yer Bow county. Arthur c. Carson,
representing the Amalgamated, has
taken charge of the properties turned
over, which include the Minnie Healy,
Rarus, Cora, belmont, Nippon and
Johnstownmines and the interests of the
Hypockav Mining, company, the Guard
ian Mining company and the Montana
Ore Purchasing company.
Thus f. Augustus Heinze has won
out. His seven years war against
Amalgamated Copper, under which
name masquerades Standard Oil, ends
abruptly with the "nnounceme that
the Amalgamated had in effect taken
him into partnership. This audacious
engineer who went to the copper coun-
try fifteen years ago from New York,
carrying only ideas and an %unbreaka-
bic nerve, has proved a competitor
Standard Oil could not break.
The copper trust, with other inter-
ests, has been forced to buy from
HeinZe after seven years of steady re-
fusal to do anything except to attempt
TO crush him. 1t has purchased, and
presumably at a price satisfactory to
Heinze, most of his mines and proper
ty and, what is probably more i'm
portant, all his litigation. More than
100 suits that have tied the great cop
per octopus up as in a net are done
away with by this settlement.
Mining claims worth $50.000,000 that
have been under legal clouds several
strata deep are cleared by the new ar
rangement. 1t is a greater strike" for
Amalgamated than that great one in
the Anaconda a few months ago that
sent the stock soaring.
All of the properties of the United
Copper Mining company, Heinze's hold
ing concern, that have been tied up by
litigation and some others, as well as
those owned by the Heinze interests
personally, have been transferred to 7.
+. Cole for a cash consideration.
The fight closed with the following
remarkable announcement by n of
the persons who was instrumental in
bringing it to an end: The settle
ment means perfect harmony among all
interests in the copper trade" He
probably forgot about Lawson.
II. II. Rogers, vice president of the
Standard Oil company, confirmed the
reports of a settlement of the Montana
Copper controversy by saying he could
not vouch for the details. but that the
substantially.
The new company will be in control
of interests identified with the Anal
gamated company and will begin at
once to operate all the plants.
