MORE CLASHES
At THE PANAMA
CANAL INQUIRY

Washington, Feb. 27-The senate
investigating committee today at an
executive meeting, decided to limit
the scope of Senator Morgan's in
quiries to William Nelson Cromwell,
the noted corporation attorney who
has had much to do with the canal, to
the period since the requirement by
the United States of the canal prop
erty. Senator Morgan strongly OBJ
jected but the majority of the com
mittee has decided that matters prior
to that date were not pertinent to the
present inquiry. .
Mr.. Cromwell explained how the 10
directors of the Panama canal were
qualified by the allotment to each of
them to one share of stock by the
secretary of war to be later returned
to the United States. He also ex-
planned about the mistake in the min
utes of the meeting of the company
on November 9th last which hereto
fore figured in the proceedings.
Later Mr.. Morgan endeavored to
compel Mr.. Cromwell to tell what
work he had done for the Panama Ca
nal company in this country and what
he had been paid for his services
Witness refused to answer because
his professional relations with his
client were involved.
"oh, you refuse, do you?" said Nor
gan.
"Yes, and I am perfectly willing to
test it anywhere you want to take it, )"
replied Cromwell.
"Well, that will be matter of fu-
ture consideration" said the senator

BIC DEFENSE FUND
FOR THE SUSPECTS

Caldwell, Idaho Feb. 27-The tax
ing of testimony in the inquiry into
the assassination of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg, has been postponed by
the special grand jury, now meeting
here, until next Thursday on request
of the prosecuting attorney who wish
es to clear up certain minor business
which that body must pass upon. The
time limit for the preliminary hear
ing of President Meyer, Secretary
Treasurer Haywood, Executive Com,
mittee Member Pettibone and other
Western Federation of Miners mem
bers, accused of the murder of Steun
enberg expires tomorrow after which
the grand jury will be supreme in the
matter.
DARROW AS COUNSEL.
The stringent prison rules at Boise
City, to which Meyer, Haywood, Petit
bone and other unionists have been
subjected, have also been ordered
changed in their particular cases, on
the claim by counsel that they were
being treated as convicts whereas
they had not yet even been arrested.
Clarence Darrow, the noted Chicago
attorney and author has been engag
ed by the Western Federation to as
sist the Denver attorneys in defend
ing the accused men. President Moy
Ell has been advised from Denver that
money is pouring in from all sections
of the country for defense fund,
ranging from three two-cent stamps
from a farmer in North Dakota, to
$4,000 pledged by the miners union
at Silverton, Colo.

GUARD ARRIVES.


The shouting and excitement was
kept up for hours, but at i o'clock this
morning the first of three companies
of National Guard of the city put in
en- appearance and Immediately after
ward Gordon was formed around the
Jungle" and the police, backed by
the soldiers, were within an hour mas
ters of the situation.
LEADERS KNOWN.
1t is understood that the leaders of
the mob are known and 1t is likely that
they will be arrested before noon to-
day. The better minded citizens of
the community are greatly exercised
over this latest act of rowdyism and 1t
is likely that some persons will find
themselves in serious trouble before
the matter is dropped. The fact that
there was a long delay before the
National Guardsmen could be secured
was held to be proof positive that the
local companies favored the law
breakers and it is said this morning
that the Governor will be asked to
investigate conditions.

point of order against it as new legis-

declared that to abolish the grade now
would be an outrage to Major Gener-

JUDGE RULES
That Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion Has Power to Compel Wit
nesses to Answer Questions.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Judge X. NJ Lam
dis in the United States circuit court
today ruled that the Interstate COM
merce commission has power to COM
pei witnesses to answer questions.
The decision is considered by the
government as one of the most inn
portant of recent years, touching on
the powers of the commission.
Attorney Levy Mayer counsel for
Frank J. Reichmann, vice president
of the Streets Western Stable Car
line, the witness in question said he
would appeal the case il the Hepburn
bill should not become q law. In
the event this bill becomes law
the points involved in the Reichmann
case will have been legislated away.
The case may go directly to the Uni
ted States supreme court, the ques-
tion which the court decided the wit
ness should answer referred directly
to the dealings Of the Western Stable
Car line, of which Mr.. Reichmann was
vice president. The question was:
what part of the mileage from
WuHteNeT SOuTC0 nave you given up 10
shippers during the last six months?"
On the advice of his counsel Attor-.
ney Mayer, Reichmann refused to an.
swer the question on the ground that
the commission was without authority
to compel the answer.
Streets Western Stable Car line ia
an Illinois Incorporation, owning some
5000 cars in general use for the
transportation of live stock over the
various railways of the country.
Judge Landis decision Is taken by
the government lawyers to mean that
under the Elkins law the private car
lines can be regulated by the inter-
state commerce commission as well
as the public corporations The car
line company contended it had a right
to give shippers money from its own
treasury so long as it was not acting
as the agent for the railway compa-
ny. Judge Landis declared he does
not believe congress meant to enact
that condition.

Senator LaFoIlette Brings
Issue Squarely Wheth-
er Common Carriers
Have Right to Own
Coal or Oil Lands.
Destined to Develop the
Strength Of the Con-
tending Forces on
Questions Long Urg-
s..,r
ed by the President.

Washington, Feb. 27.-4Mr La Fol
lette of Wisconsin,, introduced an
amendment to a pending bill in the
senate late this afternoon that may
precipitate a general railroad rate
discussion. 1t brings squarely before
the Senate the important principle
involved in the railroad fight as to
whether common carriers should be
permitted to own coal or oil lands.
1t Is destined to develop the strength
of the contending forces on the
question the president has been fore
ing upon cOngre~3 since the beginning
of the last ses N.
The amendment offered relates to
the measure providing for winding up
the affairs of the five civilized tribes
of Indians. There is some question as
to whether valuable mineral lands in
Indian Territory, owned by the In
dlans and now under lease, will not
fall into the hands of certain rail-
roads.
Mr.. La Follette's amendment pro
hibits common carriers and their of
fcers and stockholders from acquiring
the right, title or interest in any coal
or asphalt lands in the Indian Terri
tory.
THE COMING BATTLE.
The congress has just passed a
joint resolution directing the inter
state commerce commission to inves-
tigate what railroads now own or ope-
rate any coal or oil lands 1t is pro-
posed by Mr. Tillman, who has charge
of the rate bill, to offer an amendment
to that resolution similar to the one
presented by the junior senator from
Wisconsin to the Indian measure.
The great battle over railroad rate.
however, will be opened in full force
in the senate March II. This was
decided when an unanimous agree
ment was reached by the senate to
vote upon the joint statehood bill at
four O'Clock Friday, March 9th. The
rate bill will then be made the un-
finished business at once.
Mr.. Tiilman who has been given
charge of the rate bill, purposes to
push it vigorously and will permit
no delay.
