NOT JUDICIAL DUTY
The RAILWAY RATE QUESTION A
LEGISLATIVE MATTER.
General Weaver Says the Republican
Leaders in Congress Know II. In
less Commerce Commission Acts
without Reason its Actions Are
Not Renewable by Courts.

General Weaver, in his speech at the
democratic dinner at Lincoln last month,
while abiding to the wide difference be-
tween the principles of government rep
resented by Thomas Jefferson and those
taught by Machiavelli, the great Floien.
tine diplomat, spaid his respects to the
railway rate question now pending in
the United States senate. General
Weaver declared that the republican
leaders know that the question involved
is distinctively::a legislative question and
not judicial in its character, and that
unless the order OF the interstate com.
merce commission should be confiscatory
their action could not even be reviewed
by the courts, and that if a wrong was
done, the remedy must be sought at the
hands OF the Legislature rather than the
courts. He said this had been the set.
tied rule for thirty years. This accounts,
he said, for the great effort now made to
have clause:inserted expressly provid.
| ing for review by the courts. He read
from the decision OF the supreme court
in the celebrated Grange cases handed
down in 1876, in which the court speak.

question away from the legislature alto

the judges hold by the life tenure. Are
not these things worthy OF serious

about one-third of her length, when abe
settled down, the pinnacle puncturing her
to height of about seven feet Several
attempts were made by the Portland and

failure through the inability to raise her
high enough to clear this pinnacle. The
company turned her over to the under

PORTLAND, Ore, May 22.-The
police today arrested Mrs. Nellie Davis,
alias Davidson, alias Depew, alias

a dwelling. The woman is alleged to
be a diamond thief, and when appre
hended had about $1,000 worth OF

thorities had no evidence on which &c
hold her she was liberated. She then
passed through Portland, going to San

CANNOT CASH
THEIR CLAIMS
Employees at the First
Regiment Camp Are
Up in Arms.
Appeal to Be Made to
Finance Committee
on Saturday.

The men and women to the number
Of 400 who were employed in various
capacities at the camp Of the First Regi-
ment, N. g. c.. Market street and Du-
boce avenue. for several days after the
great disaster are up in arms because
they cannot cash their claims. They
were employed by Colonel Kelly, who
was in command OF the regiment. and
were informed that they would be paid
union wages and their claims would DO
cashed at the Hamilton School by the
finance committee. The claims were reg
ularly signed by Colonel Kelly and Cap
tain Choynski, but when they were pre-
sented to the committee payment was
denied.
The claimants were informed that
there was doubt as to whether the
claims should be padt out Of the relief
fund or by special appropriation Of
the Legislature in view Of the fact that
they had been employed by the National
Guard officers.
The claims aggregate a total of 50. 900,
varying from SIS TO s42. The claims were
numbered among the 5000 by the finance
committee, and claims numbered in the
four thousands and above have been
paid and this is regarded as an in
justice by the camp claimants. They
say that when they were working they
were not permitted to get any relief.
They have not received their pay and
thy cannot get relief now.
A committee waited on J. D. Phelan
yesterday morning and after registering
its complaint was notified to formally
present the claims at the Hamilton
School next Saturday at 9 o'clock a. m,
their behalf. Every employe Of the
camp named who failed to get his money
is requested to be in attendance at the
time mentioned.
