COURT UPHOLDS
PRESS GAG LAW
Judge Bum, inst. Paul, Declares
John Day Smith Statute
Stands.

Judge Bum, in the Ramsey county
district court, today upheld the John
Day Smith law which bars newspaper
reporters from witnessing executions of
criminals, and prohibits the publica-
tion, in newspapers, Of detailed ac-
counts of hangings. Judge Bum IS APP
prevail Of the law lies in his overriding
the demurrer of the st. Paul news
papers from indictments resulting from
certain publications relating to the ex-
ecution of William Williams.
The main objection on the demurrers
was the unconstitutionality of the law
in that it makes executions practically
private affairs and that the law was not
properly entitled as prescribed. Judge
Bum holds:
Judge Bunn's Ruling.
"First-I think the title is general
and not restricted. The subject which
the legislature intended to cover was
the entire subject of the mode and
manner Of carrying out the sentence of
death.
"sThe object and chief purpose Of the
act was to avoid general publicity.
To the accomplishment Of this purpose,
the time Of the execution is fixed be-
fore sunrise; the place, within an in
closure which shall exclude the per
ness the execution are restricted both
as to number and character; no news
paper reporter is permitted to be pres:
emit; the details Of the execution shall
not be published in any newspaper.

ject expressed in the title, that is, with
the mode Of infiicting punishment. OF

sions of the act are fairly connected
with and not foreign to the subjec
expressed in the title, or if the provi
sions are proper to more full accom-
plishment Of the purpose of the act

HThe provision forbidding the pub
LEGATION Of the details is not foreign t
the lSuDJeVC OF manner OI carrying

clear that forbidding the publication
of the details tends strongly to accom-
plish the purpaase 70 q the act, the avoid
4 lance of publicity, quite. as 9effeetively
if in a different way, as the provision
relating ito the time and place and per

 Pensacola. Fla, Aug. 14.--(Specia1.) w. s. Garfield, manager of the Gar field Ice Works, of this city today gave out a statement to the effect that ice could not be manufactured and deliv- cred in Pensacola any cheapel than 1t is being done at present, which is 40 cents per hundred pounds. This state ment Is in answer to the demand of County Solicitor Loftin that the price of ice in Pensacola be reduced to the Jacksonville price by the date of bis return. which is now only week distant. or else he will enter prosecu- ton against the factories<for entering into a combination.
 Manager Garfield says that he is to- day selling ice on the platform at his factory at 25 cents per hundred pounds. and that the reason it cannot be de- livered cheaper than 40 cents per huns dred pounds is that the streets are filled with sand and that the resi- dences are scattered over a large area.
