HARTMAN SEES COMMISSION
Union Pacific MagnRte Discusses
Question of Railway Equipment
and Traffic.

WASHINGTON March 4-E II. Harri-
man spent some time in the offices of the
Interstate Commerce commission today.
The visit was informal. and a variety Of
topics were touched upon during Mr.. Harri-
mans talk with the commissioners. There
was some talk about the repair of the
break in the Colorado river. which Mr..
Hartman explained to the commission. re-
ferring particularly to the prompt manner
In which the work had been done by the
Southern Pacific.
Questions of equipments for railroads
furnished an interesting topic. Mr.. Harri-
man expressed a preference for the larger
steel car with capacity of 10000 pounds
in place of smaller cars and especially those
of wooden construction, which In his opin-
ion must be relegated to the background.
Mr.. Hartman also inclined to the opinion
that there gradually would be an increase
I'm the use of electricity in railway trans
portation and told the commissioners he
thought the adoption of a six-foot gauge
for the railroads would have been much
better than the four feet eight and half
inch standard gauge.
The commission has set for April the
arguments on the testimony taken at the
Hartman hearing In New York last week.

ARGUMENT IN ADAMS CASE
Attorney Says Defendant is Only n
Pawn I'm Game Between Oper-
atOrs and Miners.

WALLACE, Ida, March 4-"Steve Adams
is only a pawn in the great game that Is
being played. rhe prosecutors in this case
do not believe Adams is guilty. They never
did believe it."
So declared Attorney e. F. Richardson
today in his plea to the jury to acquit
Steve Adams Of the crime of killing Fred
Tyler. He based his plea on the theory
that the state is only making use of Adams
for the purpose Of convicting others-that
this trial is but minor issue In the great
fight between the Mine Owners association
and the Western Federation Of Miners.
A feature OF Judge Richardson's address
this morning was his severe denunciation
of detectives In general, and the Pinkerton
agency. as represented by Mcfarland, in
particular.
'The Pinkerton detective agency" he de-
clared, "is not an organization that is
known TO the law. 1t is a private interest
working for private ends, or perhaps obey
ing the behest of someone holding private
position, who employs it."
Judge Richardson denounced the methods
used by Mcfarland In obtaining the con-
fession by working on Adams feelings and
affection for his wife and baby
Clarence Darrow next spoke for the de-
fense. He said
a
man as they are prosecuting this poor. un-
important laborer They have gone to the
capitol and employed the greatest lawyer
there is in Idaho. and months of the time
of the greatest detectives of the west have
been given to bring him to the gallOws
They are simply gambling with the life OF
Steve Adams; not that his life will be
taken, they do not value that more than
they value that OF a hy.
Mr.. Darrow argued that the real. purpose
Of the prosecution was TO prepare the way
for the real struggle, when Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone would be put on trial
In an effort to destroy them and the West
ern Federation of Miners. He said that
IT was unfair on the part OF the state 70
make Adams the scapegoat for a crime
for which probably every settler in the dis
trict was TO blame. No notice had been
taken Of the death of either Tyler or Boule
until great many had been killed IN south
ern Idaho when the remains OF Tyler had
been dug up with the object OF duplicating
the Western Federation OF Miners
Mr.. Darrow took up the confession point
by point and endeavored to trace the hand
of Detective Mcfarland all through the
answers and corrections and sought TO show
how II was given under fear of death on
one hand and hope OF quiet farm life on the
other. He said the Western Federation
OF Miners had been referred TO all through
the confession with the sole purpose of
duplicating them, and dwelt sareastically
on Adams entertainment OF GOOding Haw-
ley. Borah. Whitney, Mcfarland and Thiel
while keeping house in the Boise peniten-
tiary. He referred at length to MePart-
lands and Thiers connection with labor
unions. how they had been admitted into
and had betrayed those bodies. saying that
Il was impossible that man who could
lie under these circumstances could tell
the whole truth from the witness stand.

STARS AND STRIPES SACRED
United states supreme Court Estab-
fishes Right of Nebraska to
Protect Flag.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-That the
states may pass laws prohibiting the use
of the United States flag for advertising
purposes was declared by the supreme
court Of the United States today in de-
Gliding the case Of Nicholas v. Halter and
Henry V. Hayward. appealed from the SUI
preme court of Nebraska.
Halter and Hayward are liquor dealers
in Omaha, and were prosecuted under a
law Of the state on the charge of selling
beer in bottles decorated with the national
colors. They were fined $50 each and upon
appeal TO the state supreme court the ver-
dict was sustained. They pleaded uncon-
stitutionality of the law Justice Harlan
delivered the opinion of the court. Affirming
the decision of the Nebraska courts. In
the course of his opinion Justice Harlan
upheld the right Of the state to protect the
flag, the emblem of the nations power
against isdignities. He said that the use
of the flag as an advertisement on beer
bottles cheapens and degrades It, and the
court was unwilling TO hold that legisla-
tion prohibiting such use of the natural
colors is an abridgement OF personal rights
as contemplated by the constitution. JUS
tice Peckman dissented.
mo one" said Justice Harlan in con-
clusion, "can be said to have the right Sc
cured by the constitution to use the coun-
try's flag merely for purposes of merchan-
disc If every one was entitled to use ii
for such purposes, then perhaps the state
could not discriminate among those who
so used It. 1t was for the state of Ne
braska to say how far 1t would go by way
of legislation for the protection OF the
flag against improper use, taking care in
such negotiation not to make undue dis
elimination against part of its people
1t chose not to forbid the use of the flag
for the exceptional purposes above speci-
fed in the statute prescribing the funda-
mental condition that its use for any other
purposes should be disconnected from any
advertisement.
"All are alike forbidden to use the f1aa
as an advertisement 1t is easy to be seen
how a representation of the flag may
be wholly disconnected from any adver-
tisement' and the use upon a newspaper
periodical, book, ETC., In such way as moi
to arouse a feeling of Indignation nor Of
fend the sentiment and feelings of those
who love it. In any event the classified.
tion made by the state cannot be regarded
as unreasonable or arbitrary or as bring
ing the statute under condemnation al
denying the equal protection of the laws.
ut would be going very far to say thai
the statute in question had clearly nC
reasonable connection with the common
good and was not promotive of the peace
order and happiness of the people. Be
fore this court can hold the statute void
It must say that. and in addition. adjudg'
that it violates rights secured by the legls
lation Of the United States. We cannot
so say and cannot so adjudge.
Without further discussion we hold tn,
provision against the use of representa-,
| tions of the flag for advertising articles o
merchandise not repugnant to the consti
tuition of the United States"
