court here by L. +. Stephens and +.
o. Blanchard against the Northern
Pacific railway for alleged damages
in the sum Of q, $50 each for the &C.

duc,or, however, demanded the cash

PEACE IN CUBA.
United states Authorities Believe Insur
rcction Will Soon Subside.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. - Com.
mander ColweIl Of the cruiser Denver,
at Havana, telegraphed the navy de.
partment today that all was quiet 10
Havana. Hostilities formally ceased
yesterday and a definite settlemen. OF
the trouble seemed possible today.
The re.assuring dispatch, together
with the visit Of Secretary Taft and
Acting Secretary Bacon, indicates
that the movement toward peace 10
Cuba is we'll under way. Al the same
time no changes have been made in
the naval program. The Louisiana,
Virginia and New Jersey are now on
their way to Havana. The Newark
sailed from Norfolk this afternoon
and the Minneapolis will sail from
League island tomorrow.
With the force already at Havana
and that which will be there in a few
days, the navy department feels as
sured that it will be ample to prevent
any trouble in Havana and it appears
that the movement OF such a force to-
ward the Cuban capital was due to the
fact that there vac grave danger 20
the capital of Cuba.
The train bearing Secretaries TAT.
and Bacon and party was reported
three hours late this afternoon, so
that the Des Moines will be ahead OF
time and ready to take them on board
when they arrive. The Denver, which
left Havana last night, is expected 10
arrive at Chinfuegos tomorrow.
a report has been received from
%Chinfuegos, saying that gross out
RACES have been committed in tha.
vicinity and that plantations next to
the Constanica plantation have been
burned and the Constanica threatened.
A demand was made upon the Con-
stancia plantation for 1900 rounds Of
ammunition, and the insurgents
threatened the place If their demands
were not complied with.

Enforcing Pure Food Law,

New YORK, Sept. l7.-Just wha. e.
feet the new pure food law will have
on the importers and manufacturers
OF food products, will be the object Of
hearings to be held 10 the rooms of
the board OF trade and transportation
beginning today, by a committee con.
sisting OF DR.. H. W. Wiley, of the
department of agriculture: S. D.
North, director OF the census, and
James L. Gerry, OF the treasury de.

turers will be asked to appear before

they may have. This hearing will in.
clude not only food products, but
drugs as indirectly affecting every din.
ner table in the country.
The committee is to decide whether
the rules and regulations they pre-.
scribe to prevent adulteration or mis-.
branding of domestic foods sold in the
United States shall apply to the i'm.
ported food products. Dr.. Wiley,
who is regarded as the principal au-
thor Of the new law, declares that they
will be.
"There is no possibility Of con-
c~essions," he said. I'VE shall recon.

JUDICIAL: ANARCHY.

1t seldom happens hat Montana
newspapers, in the discharge OF what
is their public duty, are called upon
to criticize any of the judicial officers
of the state, but q recent incident 10
Silver Bow county is the subject OF
this infrequent action by some of the
state press. The circumstances are
related and criticism administered by
the Great Falls Tribune to this effect:
The Judge of q district court OF the
state Of Observation-Disclosures to issue
q warrant for the arrest OF men who
had violated t~hejlawsSof the state be-
cause, in his opinion, the complainant
was ''insincere' in his protested de-
sire to prosecute the lei who had
violated the law: such at least, was
bis excuse. The men for whom the
warrant was sought had violated the
law by engaging in a prize ight-a
violation thatiis said to have been en-.
couraged by the Judge by his open at
tend ance at many fights.
The man who asked for the warrant
is one OF the ablest lawyers Of the
state, p of its most representative
citizens:ihe may be "~insincere" in his
application, but the law provides a
penalty for '~insincerity" in such a
matter, and the complainant knows
better than to triae with the law.
Granting that the Judge believed that
the complainant was "insincere" and
that the judge based his refusal upon
that ground, instead Of upon his de-
sire to protect the v%iolators Of a law
Of which he does not approve, but
which he has taken an oath to uphold
he presents a sorry spectacle.
Ia due form, the judge was notified
that a crime had ueen committed, aud
all that was asked OF him was that hi
should do his duty and set In motor
the machinery Of the law provided fol
the apprehension OF the accused, the!
later TO be given a fair trial. Instead
Of assisting in the bringing of tn
guilty to trial, he refused to do hi
duty, merely because, in his priv at
opinion, the man who asked for tn
issuance OF the warrant was ''insin
cere."
There have been many disgracefu
occurrences in some district courts g
Montana. The supreme court ha
been compelled, in its jealous care TO
the fame OF the judiciary OF the state
to strain its supervisory powers t
the breaking point, and yet the great
est criminal a 60 free If a iudg

complains against him is actuated b.
motives other than a pure desire I,
have the law enforced. \ nan ma,
safely commit any crime in Montana
if a judge is his friend, according t
this new doctrine of ''~insincerity.'
The supreme court cannot go mucl
further in its efforts to hold some dis
,rict judges within the bounds c
decency. The legislature has power
that have never been exercised in tn
state, but il respect for law and fo
the judiciary is to be maintained, II
legislature may be compelled to pc
form a disagreeable duty.
