GET PRISONER TO COURT

Rockand. Me, May 5.-The opening Of
the supreme court today for the continu-
ance OF the trial OF John c. Maloney on
the charge or manslaughter was delayed
officials to produce the respondent.
Maloney and another prisoner had tam
pered with the combination on the for
mer's cell door and it was impossible to
release him until the lock had been sawed

pose to escape. When court finally con-
vened the prosecuting officers announced
the state would rest its case and as the
defense was not ready to proceed. ad-
journment was taken until Monday morn
morning.

POSITION ON
THE RATE BILL

Washington. May 5--In view OF the
publication today regarding the Presi-
dents position on the question OF railroad
rate legislation and the amendments pro-
posed an authoritative statement was Is
sued at the White House today defining
the presidents position. The statement
follows:
"The so-called Allison amendment. In
the presidents judgment simply states
affrmatively what the president believed
was already contained i'm the Hepburn
bill; but if there is the slightest DOUBT as
to it's being thus already contained In tht
bill the president would insist upon It's
being put IN because unless II is contain
ed the bill undoubtedly would be void
Therefore. Incorporating the Allison
amendment under no circumstances would
do anything but good. and as there Is
an honest doubt on the part OF some
sincere adherents OF the bill whether II
II or is not already. by implication, con-
tanned in the bill. the president is clearly
OF the opinion that the Allison amend
ment should be put i'm and this without
regard To whether other amendments are
or are not adopted.
"If the Hepburn bill. therefore, passes
in this form. which is practically the
exact form i'm which II passed the house
Il will be satisfactory 10 the president
who from the beginning has stated that
the Hepburn bin itself would be salts
factory. But the president would like
II an addition to the Allison amendment
the so-called Long and Overman amend
ments were adopted While the president
regards these amendments with favor
and would like TO see them adopted, he
does not in the least regard them as vital
and feels that the Hepburn bill would
still be in excellent shape even without
them"

IN examining Nash for the commits

--extreme.- hut most persevering, show
Wing a settled determination to bring
se.out every fact that might have the
slightest bearing upon Nash's conten-
ation that he had been frightened away

Mr.. Nash 10 the office OF the commits
sion arriving at Ais and leaving at AIS.
Chief Matthews went into the board
chamber is minutes afterward. and five
minutes later Mr.. Cristy came out, but
returned shortly afterwsrd.
Each member OF the board refused 20
cay whether or not they would act upon
Mr.. Cristy's request that the chief be
suspended pending the determination OF
the charges against him.
The commissioners evidently had
determined 10 withhold their decision
on the question OF reopening the case
against Chief Matthews until they were
convinced that there was or wns not
any truth in Nash's charge that he was
forced TO fee.
This point has not yet been settled

SEEKS To ENJO|N
STONE BRIDGE
COMMISSIONERS

Augustus Smith has filed a bill OF COM
plant in the United States court against
Charles Alexander, Nathaniel r. Church,
j. Herbert Shedd, composing a board OF
commissioners authorized TO construct
new bridge over sakonnet river, and o.
Perry sarle. the engineer OF the commits
sioners.
Mr.. Smith claims that he is civil en-
aineer experienced in bridge construction.
The commissioners prepared plans and
specifcations for the new bridge and sent
ont invitations 10 a number of contractors,
including Mr.. Smith, inviting bids.
Mr. Smith claims that he submitted
designs and several proposals. together
with the sum OF 5000 as required that no
should execute the contract II awarded
TO him.
He SAYS the commissioners accepted one
OF his proposals and he executed con-
tract TO build the bridge with the state
OF Rhode Island for certain specified
sum.
Mr.. Smith says he then prepared de-
tailed plans for the bridge as basis for
actual construction and on July IL, 1895, he
presented them to Mr.. Perry, the en-
gineer.
since then ne claims tnat MI fefry mas
neglected and refused to approve or exc
cute the some; but the commissioners
have decided 20 make the bridge larger
than originally planned
Mr.. Smith claims that this would cost
him much more than by the original plans
and for this reason objected. The COM
missioners threatened 10 take the con-
tract from Mr.. Smith and build the bridge
themselves by employing other men.
Mr.. Smith requests that the court issue
a preliminary writ OF injunction against
the commissioners from building the
bride until a final hearing Is held.
