SUBJECT OF THE KING.
lewis Marshall Makes Demand for
Trial bv jury,

II am subject of King Edward VII of
England and demand a trial by jury"
were the words of Lewis j. Marshall when
he was arraigned before Judge kinball
in the District branch of the Police Court
yesterday. The charge against him was
based upon an information alleging that he
was delivering a speech or sermon Janu-
airy in front of Convention Hall without
first having procured a permit to do SO
from the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia.
Judge Kimball listened to the defendant
for a moment and then informed him that
he was being tried upon a misdemeanor
charge and not for a crime and that he
was not entitled to jury trial This
seemed to arouse Mr.. Marshall's ire, and
he declared that British subject he
demanded trial by twelve of his peers.
Again he was denied. Police officers
stated to the court that Marshall was ad-
dressing a crowd of about 500 persons,
who were just leaving a meeting held in
Convention Hall Sunday evening. When
Mr.. Marshall attempted to cross-examne
the police officers, Assistant Corporation
Counsel George reminded Judge kimball
that the questions being asked were en-
tirely irrelevant and the court called the
defendant to order. Marshall declared that
the proceedings We're for the benefit of the
American public, and that he believed he
should be allowed to ask any questions
relative to the case that he desired to, but
Judge KimbaT told him to either confne
himcelf strictly to the sit down.
Marshall again asked several questions
and was again interrupted by the court
when he asked Judge Kimball:
do you understand the English Ian
guage?"
With wave of his hand Judge Kimball
ordered the defendant to take his seat, and
as he failed to do so at the moment Bailiff
Hopkins took him by the shoulders and or
dered him to resume his seat. He did so,
and Assistant Corporation Counsel George
asked the court to order an inquiry into
the mental condition of the defendant
The attorney stated that Marshall had
been recently released from ST. Eliza
beth Asylum and that he believed he was
a subject for mental examination.
Marshall resumed the floor at this juno
ture and informed the court that he had
$15 collateral deposited for his appearance
in court, and after promising Judge KIM
ball that he would appear for examination
when wanted he was permitted to go. 1t
was stated later that Marshall has been
making speeches upon the street corners
recently and that he has at no time held a
permit from the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia, as required under
the law.

tigation may be constituted. one member
being selected by each party to a dispute

tigation may be constituted. one member
being selected by each party to dispute
and the third by the two so appointed or
by the minister of labor. Full powers re-
garding the summoning of witnesses are
conferred on these boards Until disputes
have been referred to the board and fully
investigated it is made an offense either to
lock out or to strike.
After the board has made its recommen-
dations the parties are free to accept or
reject its findings.
A special provision makes it an offense
for any person to incite others to declare
or continue strike or lockout prior to or
pending reference of a dispute to board
of Cancellation and investigation.
1t is made offense for employers to de-
clare lockout simply because any of their
employees are members of labor organiZa-
ton. Similarly it is made an offense for
employees to strike simply because an en-
ployer employs non-union men.
AS the bill has the support of the labor
representatives and practically all the lib
erals, 1t is almost sure of passing. though
it may be slightly amended. A vital point
about it is that the boards of Cancellation
will have power to summon witnesses, take
evidence under oath. compel the production
of documents and to commit for contempt.

May Hit Telephone Companies.

In his message Gov. Hughes recommended
that the control and supervision of the gas
and electricity corporations also should be
included in the state commission for New
York city. Senator Pages legislation may
go even further and include the telephone
companies.
All four kinds of companies in New York
are trying to find what powers of regula-
tons of rates are to be vested in the pro-
posed new board. 1t is understood that
Senator Page is making a careful study Of
the Constitution SO as to produce a scheme
of rate regulation that cannot be attacked
in the courts.
One of the big propositions that are fright
ening the steam railroads all over the state
in connection with the proposed public util-
tiles board for the entire state is the matter
of regulation of domestic freight rates
Gov. Hughes intends to get impartial treat
ment for shippers, whether big or small
and very strong powers on this subject will
be vested in the proposed new board If the
sought-for legislation Is granted.
Another point over which the steam rail-
roads are alarmed Is what provisions are
to be inserted relative to the safety Of the
public. Grade crossing improvement struc-
lures are the bugbears OF the railroads.
especially where they have to stand most
of the expense of the work. It Is also pro-
powers on the question of requiring ade-
quate service for the people of the state
both as to passengers and as to freight.
Agents Are Puzzled.
The corporation representatives already
here are in somewhat of a quandary how
to size up the proposed legislation. In the
past first drafts of legislation have either
asked for much more than the originators
thought could be obtained or else mucn
less. The idea of Benjamin B. Odell, jr.,
for instance, was to ask for every possible
thing and for much more than was wanted,
and then gradually give in. though really
retaining what was originally hoped for.
Other leaders before him would put in a
bill asking for little, an opening wedge.
and gradually lead up to the full list Of
objects sought to be accomplished.
So the advance agents of corporation and
legislative prosperity are wondering which
end the present administration will play. 1t
does not appear to have occurred to these
men of devious mental ways that the ad-
ministration might ask for Just what 1t
thought was necessary and no more nor no
less.
There is no gainsaying that the public
service corporations are delighted with the
way the senate has been organized In the
matter of committee assignments. While
in an isolated case here and there friends
of reform have important posts. the old
guard is still on deck. So II there are any
reforms 1t will have to be because the old
guard is forced by public sentiment to give
them. Public sentiment Is to be the gov
ernors chief weapon this year.

Wants Patent Office Inquiry.

Frederick w. Barnaclo, patent attorney
of East Orange, N. j., was at the Capitol
today talking with members of Congress
concerning an investigation of the patent
office which he says should be undertaken
at the earliest possible time. Mr.. Barnaclo
recently intimated in letter to the
commissioner of patents that the exam
liners have heretofore been left to their
own caprices in the matter of performing
their duties or that they are now
rushing the work and that the work cannot
be the best that the twenty-nine new
appointees must possess some superhuman
power. In either case the public, and es-
pecially the inventor, is entitled to an ex-

BLENDED WHISKY.
Meeting to Decide What Label Shall Be
Used on It.

There was another meeting at the Depart
ment of Agriculture yesterday afternoon OF
whisky men, this time blenders from ST
Louis going over with the Secretary the
old question of what sort of labels would
be allowed on blended whisky that was not
the absolutely straight goods. The depart
ment has reached tentative decision on
this point to the effect that when two or
more sorts of real whisky are mixed, 1t is
a genuine blended blended whisky, but that
the addition of water, neutral spirits and
other foreign matter destroys it's quality
as whisky and that it must be labeled i'm
itation." This is the point that hurts with
the bost blenders, vast quantity of So
called whisky is sold as blended whisky
that has little or whisky in it. Whether
there will be any modification of the ruling
has not yet been decided. and the matter
was not settled at the hearing this after
noon.
