COMMUNICATION.

To the Editor of the Daily Bonan-
za-Sir: Will you kindly allow the
undersigned little of your space in
the interest of fair play? There was
published this evening an article by
the people who are behind the prose-
cution of Deputy Sheriff Emerson of
Atwood, the tenor of which is calcu-
lated to bias public opinion against
the defendant. / submit that such
an attack is not subscribing the best
ends of justice. / am a citizen OF
Atwood, and was one of the coroner's
jury that acquitted Emerson, after
hearing the evidence in the case of
the shooting of Joseph Lafleur.
! am not a friend of Deputy Sher-
if Emerson; ! cannot stand sponsor
for, his character, for know nothing
about it; but it occurs to me that to
publish an article of the kind that
read this evening, appearing as it
does upon the eve of the appearance
of the defendant before the Grand
Jury, is transgressing the bounds OF
common decency. | do not wish to
discuss the evidence in this case, as
/ know it, for l do not believe thai
a newspaper is the proper sphere ir
which to try man for his life.
In answer to the statement that {
petition had been signed by the citi
zens of Atwood to the effect tha'
Emerson be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law, want to say tina
this is misleading, for the sentimen
of every man, woman and child il
Atwood is in favor of Emerson. ant
the belief is that he did his duty ant
that he was compelled to shoot La
fieur in defense of his own life. 4
petition to this effect, signed b,
every man, woman and child of At
wood is in the hands of Emerson
, counsel.
l ask only that this be publishe,
that the public might not form a.
erroneous opinion OF the sentimen
of the people who are most interest
ed in the case. The case is in tn
, hands of the Grand Jury, and tn
men who want to see fair play ar
perfectly contented to abide by tn
decision of that body. They do nc
believe for One moment that the pull
+ LEGATION of such an article can poiso
I their minds in the case, for they ar
all well known citizens of this count
! whose standing is too high to enter
tain such a suggestion. 1t is only
. the public in general that this con
v munication is addressed.
Thanking you for your kindness
publishing the foregoing, | am
\ Yours very truly,
y j. G. RICHARDSON.

18-HOUR TRAIN MAY STOP.
Caused By 2-cent Fare Law In Ohio
and Indiana.

New York, March 2.-The Times to-
morrow will say:
Because of the adoption of laws
compelling the railroads to carry pas
sengers for not more than cents a
mile in the states of Ohio and Indiana
the eighteen-hour trains operataed by
the Pennsylvania and New York Cen
trail railroads between New York and
Chicago may be withdrawn. There is
a bill before the Illinois Legislature
fixing the same low rate, and if it be-
comes a law, the railroads will be al
lowed $1S2A single trip beween New
York and Chicago.
Under an operating agreement the
two companies charge the same fare on
their fastest trains. 1t is now fixed al
$50 for each passenger, and in add
ton the traveller is compelled to pur-
chase a Pullman ticket for which Sc
is charged.
"At the Offices of the New York Cen
trail yesterday it was explained tha'
the increased expense in the operation
for the fast trains makes 1t Impossible
to carry passengers at the &c rate and
at present the question is being de
bated by the officers of both lines
II is certain that the fast trains VII
be Withdrawn IL 1t Is found that the
companies cannot charge more thar

VATICAN MAY HIT
BACK AT FRANCE
HAS PAPERS SHOWING FRENCH
ATTITUDE TO HAVE BEEN HOS
TILE TOWARDS ITALY AND
GREAT BRITAIN,

Rome, March 2.-Authorities of the vat
lean deny with emphasis the allegation
contained in a semi-ofhcial statement
issued in Paris today that NIonsignor
Montagnini, the expelled secretary of
the papal nunciature was active in try
ing to prevent the visit Of King Alfonso
of Spain to Paris. In commenting oil
the status OF the conflict with France
they explained that the vatican coulc
retailiate readily for the action of the
French government in making public part
of the documents sequestered at the time
of the expulsion of Monsgnor Montag-
mini.
1t will be easy for the vatican to pub
lish documents exchanged before the
rupture of the concordat showing the
anti-Italian and anti-Brtish attitude of
the French government, as well as other
documents dated subsequently which
tended to create embarrassments for the
Holy See. For instance, showing that
France Influenced the Spanish liberal
cabinet to push the anti-clerical schemes
of Count Romanonese and promising
French support of SPANS aspiration in
Morocco to such point that the Spanish
government in order to please France
declined the request to take over the
archives of the papa1 nuciature at Paris.
While this was going on France, accord
ing to vatican authorities. tried to pre-
vent King George of Greece from visiting
the Pope when he came to Rome in 1905.
