AS a matter Of fact the committee
did not know what letters and pa
pers Mr.. Farnum had and it was
more or less in the dark in its et-
fort to carry out the instructions Of
the general assembly but it did
know and it did undertake to show
to the court that Mr.. Farnum had
not turned over to the court all Of
the letters in the dispensary and on
that account it notified the court OF
the letter Of Mr.. Block. He wished
to enp11atically state that the COM
mittee had no intention in the world
OF improperly using the court or OF
undertaking to nislead it. and that
he wished it further understood that
he had no objection to the order OF
the court or to anything that it had
done in this or any other eNan1ina-
ton, and that he and the committee
were perfectly satisfied with what
ever the court had done. IN pre-
vious order Of the court it had held
that the papers in dispensary No.
II were public records and that
Mr.. Farnum had no right to Go
away with them. The committee
! had never ben able to examine Mr..
Farnu1n and had never been able to
find out definitely what papers were
in the dispensary, and that was the
reason that it was suggested that
Mr.. F@nun1 should be brought be-
fore the court for investigation.
He. as chairman of the committee,
wished to say for himself and his
associates that nothing had un-
knowingly been kept back from the
court. In closing his statement to
the court, Mr.. Hay emphasized the
point that the committee was not
at all disgruntled or dissatisfied,
but wished to make it plain that it
did not intend to use the court as
cats paw.
Mr.. Associate Justice Jones said
that he had intended that whatever
statement was made was upon his
personal responsibility, and he
wished to assume a full and per-
sonal responsibility for the state
ment made Monday with reference
to the committee, and he then re-
iterated that he had no personal
reflections to make against any
member of the committee, that they
were all his friends, and that his
impression was that all effort was
beir1r made to il1>e the court eNe--
else its judicial arm without legal
authority. ard t'at the effort was
to have the court assume to do work
and secure papers and records
which were not the legal obligation
of the court but which were the
purposes for which the committee
were appointed. The court was
asked to hold Mr.. Farnum in con-
tempt for papers that there was no
evidence were in existence at the
time that the original order of the,
court was issued and that had there
been such evidence the proposition
NAV have been different. The court
| cannot become an investigating
committee, and while it is willing
to do everything that it can to car
~ out and further all the laws Of
the state it cannot undertake to do
work that is without its province.
| All that he wished to say was that
the court ought to be given tull ev1-
dence and all of the facts. OF
course he wished it understood that
he had no reason to reflect upon
or to say anything unkind to the

lie had never appeared at any of
the references held in Charleston
under the decree of the chief JUS
tice. He has never appeared III the
cases in the supreme court room.
Mr.. Mordecai then replied to
Mr.. Lvon. There is no foundation
for any charge that 1'arnum has
ever triAcd with the supreme court.
He had refrained from any act OF
diSobedicnce OF the wishes Of the
court and had accepted the orders
OF the court. This committee had
had no constitutional right to force
the attendance Of Farnum or to
force his papers and defendant did
not care to appear in the reference
to be cross-eNamined by the COM
mittee.
Justice Ira B. Jones then asked
Mr.. Lyon if he had made ont his
case. Mr.. Lyon indicated that he
would say nothing more. Justice
tones wanted to know if Mr.. Lyon
would try to show this particular
letter was in the custody of Far
mum the day that proceedings were
instituted before the chief justice.
Mr.. Lyon then stated that to be
candid the committee has in its
possession other letters, or copies
thereof, secured on the visits to
Farnum's dispensary and they do
not care to disclose the nature Of
those letters until the court decides
whether or not Farnu1n shall be
ordered in person to be examined
by the court.
With some degree of pointedness
Justice Jones inquired if the COM
mittee proposes to use the court as
a slluttlecock to make persons come
before the committee:
Mr.. Lyon stated that the object
of these proceedings is to make Far
Mum disgorge, not only the letters
which he has been holding back,
but other due bills and promissory
notes which he holds. He spoke
calmly and deliberately and indicat'
ed clearly that he disbelieved the
statements that Farnum has no
other letters than those in the trunk.
Again Justice Jones declared that
the committee seems to be trying
to make a cats paw of the court.
The committee should have given to
the court all of the information in
its possession.
Mr.. Lyon produced no further
letters and the case rested there.
The chief justice announced that
the court would take the matter TN
der advisement and would report
next morning.
THE COURTS DECISION.
The State supreme court on
Tuesday discharged the rule against
T. s. Farnum and in that way the
pending contempt proceedings were
dismissed.
It is likely that the dispensary
investigating committee will play
some new card in its effort to Sc
cure additional papers which it is
evident the committee believes are
in the possession of Dispenser Far
mum.

morning Mr.. Mordecai was in the
court representing his client and
Mcssrs. Hay. Christensen, Lyon and
Fraser were present as the repre-
scntatives Of the dispensary investi-
CATION committee. Chief Justice
Pope read the following order of
the court disnissing the complaint
against Mr.. Farnum:

al, petitioners, against ]. ). Far
mum, respondent:
"Heretofore this court granted
an order requiring the respondent
to produce certain letters and pa
pcrs relating to dispe1osary No. -
in the city Of Charleston.
I'm pursuance Of said order the
respondent produced certain letters
and papers stating that they were
all that were III his possession at the
time said order was granted.
".Afterwarls another order was
issued by this court requiring the
respondent to show cause why he
should not be attached for contempt
of court in failing to obey its man.
date.
The respondent made return to
the effect that he did not have at the
time the original order was issued
any letter or papers in his posses
sion of the character described in
the petition except those heretofore
produced.
The court will not issue another
order requiring the respondent to
produce said letters and papers, but
will simply consider the question
whether the respondent should be
adiudged in contempt of court.
"The return is verified, and there
is no testimony to the effect that it
is false.
"Under these circumstances it
must be accepted as true, and the
rule discharged"
AS soon as Chief Justice Pope
had read this order dismisslng the
proceedings State Senator Hay
arose and stated that on behalf OF
the committee, of which he was
chairman he wished to make a
statement. Monday Mr.. Justice
Jones in referring to the work OF
the committee had suggested that
the investigation committee was
undertaking to use the court as a
cats paw in its effort to pull chest
nuts. out of the fire. He thought
that this was something of an i'm
putation against the committee, and
he wished to say on behalf OF the
committee that no such Intention
existed. Senator Hay then went on
to say as a matter of fact all the
courts are cats paws in the effort
to secure justice. The courts were
cats paws for litigants in every
effort to collect money and for peo-
pie who sought to recover proper
tv or to secure damages. It was not
always pleasant for the court to be
used in such a way but that in car
rying out the purposes of the law
that they we're always, more or less,
doing some such things and it was
more unpleasant to the investlga-
ting committee than for the court
to have to do what it had done, but
that the committee after due consid-
Grafton thought that the proceed
ing that it had taken was the only
way by which it could get at cer-
tain papers which it thought were
in the possession of Mr.. Farnum.

HOW DEATH FEELS.

In his sermon at St. Pancras parish church on Wednesday evening the bishop of London gave an indication of his views as to what the sensation of death would Ae like. He said:
 At an operation. when you receive whatever it is that makes you for tha time being insensible you seem to be carried for the moment out of the body you are, in fact, out of the body-the body Is for the time dead. Your spirit your mind. is perfectly active. l dare say it is the experience of many others that you seem to be swept swiftly un- der the stars toward your God. When you are out of the body. or seem to be if only for a few moments, you realize what death will be."-London Tele- graph,

MIR. CARNEGIE HAD THOUGHT
 OF THAT.

The Carnegie library is to be under way within less than month Thls determination was not arrived at by the election either. It appears that the council was providing against a possible financial embarrassment later on. It was a delicate, though wise inquiry to make of MT. Carnegie, whether his generous offer would be considered go in the event of his death before we should get the money.
 To the canny Scotchman this may have seemed uncanny curiosity, but no one can tell what is going to happen. There are no signs of dissolution in MT. Carnegie. but "Death approaches with equal step the palaces of the rich and the novels of the poor"
 The council had not had the requis- ite information on this subject and na- turany hesitated to enter upon a step which might leave the city with part ly built and ornate library building and without means to complete it.
 Phoenix can afford many conven- fences and even luxuries, but s25,- GOO library domicile is not one of them.
 The inquiry has brought out the re- ply that when MT. Carnegie engaged upon the conditional distribution of li- braries his plans were formed with that forethough, which has made his name a proverb. He had arranged that even the grim reaper, though he might cut him off, could not cut off his bib liothecal beneficence.

MIR. WILLIAMS WORTHY EFFORT

IN.
 Mir. Williams threatened filibuster to hasten action on the joint statehood bill will be regarded everywhere out side of the house organization and ad- ministration circles as entirely justi- liable The position of the house in the matter of statehood legislation can not be sustained. There is every reas- on why Oklahoma and the Indian Ter ritory should be admitted without de- lay. The bill in conference provides for that.
 There is no reason why Arizona and New Mexico should be forced into the Union and it iszgenerally admitted by both sides that there is no use in sub hitting the question to a separate vote of the two territories ,-
 However, the senate has indicated that it will accept an agreement for a restoration of the Foraker amendment if that will in any way satisfy the speaker and the president.
 It is a foolish waste of words and time for Speaker Cannon to insist
 
 is no possibility that the temper of the senate will change before the assem- bling of the short session or at any time during that session. The house must ultimately surrender or the just aspirations of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory must be defeated.
 If Leader Williams can bring the or ganization to it's senses by blocking the wheels of legislation at every opportu- nity he will have performed a good work in behalf of worthy legislation.
 We out here have no personal inter est in the fate of statehood legislation. but we have an interest nevertheless, the same kind of an interest which q sense of justice inspired all over the country when the attempt was made to drag Arizona and New Mexico yoked together, into the Union.
