be laughed out OF existence and prob
ably will be, unless there are half

gentleman from Multnomah." His
bill should go bit farther and levy

HOUR OF ACCOUNTING.

Nine-tenths of the railway mileage
of the country is already controlled
by six groups of railroads, and even
these six groups are controlled for
the most part by about a dozen men,
Already a dozen railroad magnates
possess such autocratic power that
they can arbitrarily decide the success
or failure of two-thirds Of all the large
business houses of this country.
= The railroads are the veritable back
bone Of the great trust Colossus which
has already established business
empire within our so-called American
democracy. There are between 45O
and 500 trusts representing an aggre-
gregation of 10000, 5000 capital. The
life of these trusts is absolutely de-
pendent upon the arbitrary and unjust
and illegal determinations practiced
by the railroads.
The vastness Of this railway empire
may Furthermore be seen from the
fact that the railroads directly and
indirectly employ about five times as
many men as does the United States
government, including the army and
navy and they have an income of about
three times that Of the United States
government.

MISUSE OF POWER.

There are certain people in the pub
lie eye of Astoria who need a parable
read unto them, upon the wanton mis-
use Of power We shall attempt TO
furnish the parable, in the hope that
the ambiguity usually attaching to
such presentations, may not De so
dense as TO pass ALL understand
ing"
In every fairly large community op
earth there are. primarily, three
classes Of people, the decent, the in
different, and the indecent; nature and
circumstance make it essential that
these classifications shall always ex-
ist, to the greater or lesser disrup-
tion of the public peace. Each of these
elements is chargeable with specific
moities of power and responsibility;
and 1t is to the misuse of these fac
ulties that this parable is addressed.
Morally, of course, the decent people
should always prevail, and Justice,
cleanliness. regulation, and temperate
conditions should have the right of
way. Unfortunately, the exactions of
commerce, otherwise the arts and
schemes Of money getting, virulentlS
prevalent everywhere, intervene to
upset the balances among these three
groups, and, unhappily, again, the de-
cent minority is conspicuously subjec-
tive to the majority that is, at least,
tacitly, arrayed in the alliance between
the Indifferent and the indecent. 1t
does not follow that the Indifferent are
In any sense of the indecent class, but
their negation contributes to the ma
jority in every relative fashion and to
that extent allies them in tacit force
and tacit endorsement, with the inde-
cent element. This alliance creates
the major power among the groups
and gives color and direction to the
local status and, at the same time, puts
the always aggressive indecent group
in the real place of power and respon-
sibility. And, right here, arises the
crux of the situation. Holding that
power, the indecents, being indecent,
invariably employ the prestige con-
ceded them by the indifferents to ov-
erride the situation and arrogantly as
sert themselves until their dominance
becomes an offense even in the nostrils
of their best allies, the Indifferent;
this drives the latter into the camp of
the decents, the majorities are re-
versed and very promptly employed to
the discontinue Of the group that mis-
used its misbegotten power. And the
pendulum of reaction swings back to
the decently normal, leaving the inde-
cents stranded, powerIess, done for;
the indifferents ashamed, weary of their
ambiguous, discreditable agency, with
no honor to boast, nor claim to main
tain; while the decent being decent,
assume the heritage of power mis-
used by the one, and neglected by
the other, to the common good of
ALL.

When court adjourned Stanley
Moore approached Heney and de-
manded that he retract the epithet
applied to his father. Heney refused
and started to push his way through
the crowd. Detective Byrnes went to
his assistance and called to Sheriff
o'Neil to close the court room. When
Heney finally reached the stairs and
made his way out OF the building, the
crowd cheered him and Rudolph
spreckles as they drove away in their
automobile.
Judge Lawler will pass on the mo-
tion tomorrow afternoon. It's under

Delmas' contention that no witnesses
were sworn in connection with the

San Francisco, June 27.The pro-
ceedings before Judge Lawler in the
Indictment cases were enlivened today
by Frances ]. Heney calling A. A..
Moore a liar, after Moore had said
Heney was considerable of rascal.
The incident occurred during argu-
ments on the alleged defect in the
records of Judge Graham's court
chronicling the empanelment of the
grand jury. Heney argued that it was
quite proper for Clerk Trefts to make
the correction on his own responsi-
bility. Stanley Moore argued that the
minutes could only be changed on the
authority OF the court. Finally A. A.
Moore turned to Heney and said: I
think you are good deal of a rascal. !"
you're liar" replied Heney.
Moore took a step in Heney's direc-
tion and then resumed his exan1ina-
tion. He was pale, while Heney was
flushed and angry.
Subsequently Judge LaWler called
the lawyers to the bar and rebuked
them and asked them to withdraw
their hot words, in order that the
record might be expunged. They re-
tracted $50 far as the presence of the
court was concerned, ? but Heney re-
fused to take back his '.shyster" and

Chief Justice Brantly. The propriety
OF the judgment was assailed upon
the ground of alleged errors in rulings
on the admissibility of evidence dur
ing the selection Of jurors and in dis
allowing challenges; upon the admis-
sibility of evidence during the sub
mission Of the case to the jury and
upon certain instructions submitted to
the jury and the refusal of others re-
quested.
The reversal is ordered on the
grounds stated other than in connec-
tion with the selection of the jury.
Penna was convicted of the murder of
Mrs. Robert Bryant. 1t seems that
Bryant had preceded his wife to Amer
lea and that during his stay here
Penna met the woman and they be
came enamored of one another. She
came to Butte and Penna followed, 1t
appears, because of inducements Of
fered by her. But apparently for the
first time Penna learned that she was
married and had children.
After he came to Butte he saw her
from time to time, but how often and
under what circumstances the evi-
dence does not say. Penna obtained
work in smelter, but said shortly
afterward to his foreman that he was
going to Australia. The next morning
he armed himself and went to the
Bryant home, where he was met at
the door by the woman.
After few words, he drew a pistol,
shot her three times and ran away
only to be arrested. There were no
witnesses to the shooting, save a
child who could furnish no details.
The defense was that of insanity. Lay
witnesses were permitted to testify
that Penna was sane, these being
Butte reporters whose only acquaint-
ance arose from interviews after the
shooting. The point was made that
this evidence was incompetent and
should have been excluded, hence the

down and the four conyiets rushed into
the enclosure to the outside gate. This
they quickly blew open with dynamite
and ran through the opening. A rum
ming fight ensued between the escap-
ing convicts and prison guards, and
Blake and Allison were killed. After a
hard chase through the city Vaughn.
Raymond and Ryan were recaptured.
On the way from the penitentiary
to the county Jail, not a word was
spoken by the convicts. Arriving at
the Sail, Raymond asked that they not
be disturbed until they had seen Faith
er Geysert, Catholic priest, and eaten
breakfast. The strain Of last night
was beginning to tell on them. Ryan
and Vaughn were pale and haggard.
Several times it looked as IL they
would break down, but Raymond. who
constantly smiled, encouraged them to
meet death calmly.
After the three men had prayed
with the priest and eaten hearty
breakfast, they seemed more cheerful
The priest asked Raymond il they had
any messages to send to their friends
Raymond replied: t'We have nc
friends"
The three men went to the scahfold
firmly. Outside the jail yard big
crowd struggled for places from which
to see the hanging. Neighboring roofs
and windows were crowded.
