COULD NOT HOLD
WENHAM FOR DEBT
Former Canadian Pacific Agent
Gets Out a Writ of Ha-
beaS Corpus.

New York, May 9.-Judge Holt. in the
United States district court today ordered
the discharge from custody of Charles
w. Wenham, the former steamship pas
senger agent of the Canadian Pacific rail
way in Chicago. Wenham has been for
several weeks confined in the Ludlow
street jail on body execution secured
In judgment obtained in Chicago by at
torneys for the Canadian Pacific The
judgment was based upon an alleged
shortage in Wenhams accounts amount
ing to $4,000 and he was lodged in Jail in
default of $4,000 bail. Wenham's attorney
then filed a voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy scheduling the Canadian Pacific
company's judgment as a liability.
Writ Held Good.
Then a writ of habeas corpus was s7Ied
out, the contention being that the debt
in question was dischargeable in bank
ruptcy and that under the existing laws
no man could be imprisoned for debts so
ClSchargeable. The attorneys of the Cana
dian Pacific fought Wenham's discharge
but Judge Holt today decided that the
habeaS corpus was we'll founded in law
Judge Holt held that the question was
not whether Wenham's actions had been
reprehensible, but whether he was exempt
from arrest under the bankruptcy act
Holt. that Wenham had obtained money
or property from the Canadian Pacific
company, through false pretenses or
fraud, a debt or claim secured through

officers who are charged with the trans
z'action Of the business of the respective
associations. These officers are made
party defendant to the suit as well
certain other individuals. firms and cor
porations who are members Of the re-
spectiVe association
The bill charges in substance that
these associations, their officers. dele
gates and members are all engaged in a
common undertaking. tO-wit: The bust
ness OF manufacturing. buying and sell
ing patent medicines and drugs and pro-
prietary articles throughout the United
States. That these associations and the
members thereof have entered into a con-
spiracy to arbitrarily fix and regulate
the price at which such articles shall be
sold to the consumer and that they have
established rules and regulations to en-
force such an unlawful agreement by re-
stricting the purchase and sale of such
commodities to those members of the
several associations who shall live up to
and observe the rules and regulations thus
arbitrarily prescribed by the respective
associations
Object of the Conspiracy.
There is but one ultimate object of the
conspiracy: viz: To fix the price which
shall be observed by all retail druggists
In selling to the consumer the various
commodities manufactured by the several
members Of the proprietary association.
The plan by which such object is effected
is. in brief as follows:
NO retail druggist can obtain goods
from a wholesale druggist or a manu-
facturer of proprietary medicine unless
Of the National Association Of Retail
Druggists. and in order to become such
member he must agree to observe the es-
tabHshed price at which such proprietary
medicines shall be sold to the consumer
AN Injunction is prayed for prohibiting
these associations from acting in concert
Tor the purpose Of maintaining prices and
the individuals, firms and Corporations
who are members of the respective asSO-
Citations from acting together for the pur-
pose Of maintaining uniform prices to the
consumers throughout the United States

Whites Name Omitted.

The most sensational news of the day
was contained in the announcement of the
names of the appointive members of the
council of the empire in which list Count
Witte is conspicuOusly absent. No ex-
PLANTATION is obtainable, but the omission
OF the former premiers name would
seem to indicate either an open slight on
the part OF the emperor or a determine
ton on Count Whites part to withdraw
altogether from public affairs In either
case there IS complete break in the
relations between the monarch and the
SerVitOr whose monument is the national
parliament the laws for the creation of

1t is understood that Count Witte will

Probable Officers.
According TO the expectations of the
first session OF the parliament will ac-
complish nothing beyond the election Of
officers, which under Russian procedure
will be a long drawn out affair. NJ

the party for president. and Prince Peter
DOlgOrOukoff will be one of the vice
presidents. but it has not been decided
tonight whether the other Vice-preSidency

the allied parties.

zeal argument that the title does not

firmed the decision of the congress not

Although the problem Of the oath has

That the eaSant members will not be
