GROVE AGAIN PRISONER.
Now in Council Bluffs on Charge of Street
Car Robbery-Freed in Cud
ahy Case.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Feb. IL
Pat Grove, yesterday freed at Omaha
of the Cudahy kidnapping charge, is now
a prisoner i'll the jail here on the charge
of street car robbery. The Indictment
charges that he and Arthur Levi held
up two cars on the Missouri river bridge
July =, 1905, and obtained $50 from
them. Groves bond has been fixed at
$500. Levi was on trial today for
saloon hold-up committed a month sub
sequent to the street car robbery.
The kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy, De-
cember 10, 1900, and his release upon
the payment by his father of $25,000
ransom, created a sensation and the
search for the kidnapers was stimulated
at the time by the offer of a reward of
$4,000 by Mr. Cudahy.
1t was the belief of the authorities
that Grove and James Callahan were
the guilty persons, but no trace of them
could be found until about year ago
when Callahan was arrested. He was
identified by young Cudahy as one Of
his captOrS but released.

EXPECT TO AVOID BREACH
COMMITTEE WILL NOT MAKE DE-
MANDS ON OPERATORS, BUT
STATE GRIEVANCES.
BOTH SIDES ANXIOUS.
Eight-Hour Day May Be Feature of Re-
port Which Is Expected to
Be Conciliatory.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-President
Mitchell announced today that it would
be several days before the committee
now drafting the demands to be made
of the anthracite mine operators would
complete it's work and meet the commit
tee Of the operators. He also said that
no information as to the nature Of the
demands would be divulged before they
are presented to the operators.
No Demands to Be Made.
The miners committee Of seven went
into session again today. The demand
for complete recognition of the mine
workers union, in other words the ell
ployment of only union men, will not be
embodied in the document, as it was
not opened at the conference with the
operators.
1t is now understood that the miners
committee will make no actual demands;
the document to be presented to the
operators committee will take the form
OF declaration of grievances for which
adjustment is desired. The miners
committee hopes by this means to avoid
an abrupt breach of negotiations with
the, operators and leave the differences
discovered to exist between themselves
and the operators open to arbitration.
avoid a strike, though neither is willing
to avoid such an issue at all costs.
Eight-Hour Day Feature.
The chief features of the document
now being drafted by the miners COM
mittee will undoubtedly be the question
of an eight-hour day for all mine en-
ployes, both inside and outside men;
also, an increase of 10 per cent in
wages and a change in the Cancellation
board.
These were the desires of the miners
as set forth tentatively by Mitchell at
the conference with the president of the
coal-carrying roads last Thursday.
Operator Calls on Mitchell.
The miners committee will continue
in session daily until their task is COM
pleted The other members of the scale
committee, twenty-nine in number, are
still in New York.
One of Mr.. Mitchell's callers today
was Henry NJ. Taylor, a soft coal oper-
atOr from Illinois.

UPHELD IN COURTS.
MISSOURpS COMPLAINT THAT DUCT
THREATENED HEALTH is CON-
SIDERED "NO CASE"
Famous Interstate Commerce Cases
Against Eastern Coal Rates Are
Lost by the Railways.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 19.-The
versus the state of Illinois, involving the
right of the city of Chicago to divert its
sewage into the Mississippi river through
the Chicago sanitary canal and the Hi
nois river, was decided today unanimous
ly by the supreme court of the United
States in favor of Illinois. Justice
Holmes delivered the opinion of the
court, which was that Missouri did not
prove it's case.
The court today decided the case of
the United States VS.. the Bitter Root
development company, and other as
slgnees OF the late Marcus DAILY of Mon
tana, involving the charge of unlawfully
cutting 100000 worth of timber on
the public lands of that state against the
government, but it was stated by Justice
Peckham who delivered the opinion of
the court that as the government had Sc
cured new evidence the decision is with
out prejudice.
The court dismissed the case of the
state OF Kentucky VS.. the Security Mu-
Cual Lie insurance company of Bing
hamton, n. Y, and the Travellers Insur-
ance company of Connecticut, involving
the kentucky state law invalidating
business licenses granted to foreign in
surance companies which remove to fed
eral courts suits brought against them
in the state courts. The decision was
based on the ground that the licenses
have now expired thus rendering the
cases moot questions. The opinion was
handed down by Justice Peckham.
Justice White today delivered the
opinion IN the cases of New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad vs. the
interstate commerce commission and the
Interstate Commerce commission VS.. the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, affirming
the decision of the United States circuit
court for the western district of Vir-
glnla. The cases involved the question
OF discrimination in freight rates on coal
by the Chesapeake and Ohio in favor Of
the New York, New Haven ana Hart
ford road as against other shippers. The
decision was against the railroad COM
pany.
Several important cases were on the
docket Of the court for hearing today.
Among the number was the case Of the
| state Of Wisconsin against Secretary
Hitchcock, involving title to about 5000
acres of land, claimed by the state for
school purposes.
The railroad tax cases, involving the
constitutionality of the statute under
| which the state of Michigan has pro-
ceeded to assess railroad properties on
an ad valorem basis. came up for argu-
| ment.

Emmons and Attorney Richard ?.
Evans, appointed by the medico-legal So
ciety of the District of Columbia to in
vestigate the condition of affairs at st.

statements regarding the management at
that institution.
a copy of the report will be sent to
the President, and it is said the grand
jury may be called on to make an i'll

"Toweling" Practice.
The report says it would appear from
complaints made to the committee that
'wringing out by wet towels and towel
ing with dry towels placed about the
patients neck and twisted from behind
until the patient falls over semi-con-
scious sometimes with soap in the
MOUTH are not uncommon practices; that
the saddle has been used at times, a
contrivance upon which refractory pa
tents are said to be placed in a reclining
position, fastened hand, foot and neck,
and so that no movement is possible ex-
cept to roll the eyes around a circum-
scribed area of the ceiling, and thus left
for hours.
Kicks to Inspire Fear.
Zone attendant stated he was instruct
ed to make the patients fear him as he
would a horse, ETC., and he commenced
doing so, his first day on, by kicking a
patient down and choking him, after
which he had no trouble with that
one"
Reference is made to the bull pen, y
where it is said some 500 inmates are
confined, the management of which the
committee condemns. AS to the medical
trea tment these old soldiers receive, the
report says there appears to be no in
formation obtainable from the reports
judging from those examined under au.
thority of court.
Doubts Reports on Autopsies.
The committee refers to the report OF
the superintendent of the hospital re-
,garding autopsies, and makes this com.
iment:
"a like proportion Of autopsies Oh
out of 236 deaths) occurring in our city
hospitals would necessitate a large staff

here yesterday evening just previous to
their departure for Moscow A seventh
member of the party, a student, threw
away a bomb and escaped.
Deadly Chemicals Found
The police also took into custody eight
terrorists belonging to another group at
whose residence was found cyanide of
potassium and other deadly chemicals,
sufficient to kill half the population of
st. Petersburg, and thousands of revo-
lutlOnary prOclamatiOns.
1t is suspected that the terrorists, fail
ing to reach prominent persons here by
violence are about to try the more sub
tie means of poison. The police here
have been advised of the arrest at Sara
toff of the members of social revolu-
tionary committee.

yesterday by Gen. Linevitch. The trans
fer occurred at Lochagoon in accord
ance with an order of the Emperor.

Temporary peace has been patched up
between Premier Witte and Interior
Minister Durnovo, and the disruption of
the cabinet has been averted at a mo-
ment when the strain was apparently at

premier's desire for a relaxation of the
repressiye measures is understood to
have prevailed.

$685. which provoked debate, especially in
regard to Notifications in the Philippines
Mr.. Smith of Iowa urged greater activity
on the part of committees supervising APP
propriatiOnS to check bureaucracy. The
proposed $15OO0,O00 naval station in Subig
Bay was strongly opposed. Adjournment

S6OO,O00 to be divided between the Philip
pines and Hawaii out of a total of 81 $685.

partisan debate 1 on the the policy to be pur-
lands. At 5:17 p. m. adjournment was
taken until the next day
The morning hour prevailed in the

The net result was the assage of a bill TO

granting American register to foreign ships
wrecked and repaired on the American
coast, in the discretion Of the secretary Of

requiring a special act of Congress to grant
such register. The feature of the day was
the attempt of Mr.. Payne, chairman of the
ways and means committee, to get up his
bill for the consolidation of customs collec
ton districts. furious opposition de-
veloped, and by roll call a large majority
voted against considering the bill. Again,
when the experiment station bill came up
the debate reverted to the Payne bill, and
it was with difficulty that it could be
brought to an end. An indirect compliment
was paid to Mi. Longworth by a vote to
adjourn until Monday. although nothing will
appear in the record of this purpose.
Under suspension Of the rules three bills
were passed on the 10Th. The first, aimed
