Judge Lands Creates a Fresh
Sensation by His Latest
Rulings in the Federal Court
At Chicago.
MOFFETT is SUMMONED
TO APPEAR IN COURT.
He Will Be Proceeded Against
For Contempt---Is Believed
To Be the Author of the Crit
iciSm of Lands.

Chicago. Sept. pa startling sensa-
tion was sprung today by Judge Landis
in granting the expected immunity
bath to the Chicago and Alton railroad
when he ordered a special grand jury
to summon President James A Moffett
of the Standard Oil company of Indi-
ana before him with the apparent in
tention of holding him in contempt of
court
Moffett is believed by Landis to be
responsible for the publication of a
pamphlet criticising Landis for the
neavy fine imposed on the Standard,
and impugning his motives.
Lands created a second sensation
when in dismissing the rebate charges
against the Alton he asserted the peni-
tentiary is filled with men no worse
than the officials of this company.

BLAKELEY ENFORCING
CHILD LABOR LAWS
Warning Issued to Mercantile
Companies.
VIOLATIONS ARE FOUND.

William z. Blakely, state factory in
spector. has sounded a warning to
mercantile companies and manufac-
turers of Indianapolis that violations
of the child labor laws are being found
and that the violations must stop or
the violators will be brought into
court
The inspector has found, through
children who have come to his ONCE
for age certificates, that some OF the
Indianapolis merchanta-and the larg-
est houses in the city at that-have
been employing children between the
ages OF IA and 16 years without de-
manding age certificates. Children
have told the inspector that they have
worked without age certificates and
that no certificates were demanded.
The manufacturers-for some man.
ufacturers as well as merchants have
been discovered violating the law
and the merchants say the children
lie to them concerning their age, but
1t has been pointed out by the inspec-
tor that under the law age certificates
from the inspectors ONCE must be
furnished. In several instances child.
rem have admitted that, to escape
school attendance and go to work.
they had lied concerning their ages
to their employers and said that they
were over is. so that they could Sc
cure employment without IN AKA certL
ficate.

TRIAL OF SENATOR BORAH.

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 24.-In beginning
the work here of impaneling a jury to
try United States Senator William E
Borah, charged with conspiracy to de.
fraud the government Of valuable tim
ber lands, District Attorney Norman
M. Ruick announced that former Gov
ernor Frank Steunenberg was one of
the men indicted with Senator Borah
for conspiracy. Steunenberg is rep
resented in the indictment as John
Doe.
The prominence of Senator Borah in
the politics of the state, his personal
pursuits in this his home town. the
leading part he took in the prosecu-
tion of William Haywood, charged
with the murder of Governor Steunen-
berg, and the fact that more than 100
we'll known residents of south Idaho
are alleged to be involved with him in
the so-called conspiracy, combine to at
tract an interest in the proceedings
against him nearly equal to that which
marked the first of the Federation of
Miners trials here. The circuit court
was crowded to overflowing when
Judge Wilson took the bench.
The array of counsel on either side
was imposing. The government.
whose representatives here freely pre-
dict hearing of sensational interest.
has practically taken the case out Of
the hands of District Attorney Ruick.

duct before the grand jury have been

ah alleges that he. with II others NAM

tents of Boise took out timber claims

have been false. and It is alleged that

UP TO THE PENNSYLVANIA.
What Attitude 1t Will Take in the
Matter Not Known.

The ruling of the commission again
puts the matter up to the Pennsylva-
mia company and there is difference
of opinion as to what course it will
pursue. Many are confident the COM
pany will carry the question into the
courts. considering the fact that the
company wants the ground proposed
to be used for the connection, for its
new freight house and switches. The
case is important as a test and it
might be good policy to let the courts
rule on it in order to set a precedent.

state Railroad Commission
Has Handed Down a Ruling
Against Contention of the
Pennsylvania Road.
REGARDS RAILROADS
AS PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.
1t Is Necessary to Shorten All
The Routes of TranSporta-
ton as Matter of Justice to
The Public.

Indianapolis, Sept. 24.-The state
railroad commission in giving decis-
ion in favor of the Commercial club
of Richmond in which the club asked
that the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louis
vile Railway company and the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago & ST. Louis
Railway company be required to make
physical connection of the lines which
cross each other in the city of Rich
mond, declares that the railroads are
regarded as public highways and the
right of the governments to regulate
in a reasonable and proper manner
the conduct of railroad corporations
has been founded on this fact.
Richmond manufacturers have long
been embarrassed by the fact that the
two lines mentioned have had no
switching connections. The CONNER
cial club of Richmond brought the
matter before the railroad commits
sion.
Commissioner William J. Wood, in
finding written for the commission,
says: THE propositions dominant in
our conclusions about this matter
arise from the absolcte fact that these
interesting railroads are nothing less
than public highways. All the uses
and ana1ogies of the old common
roads point to the convenience of the
public in passing from one to another
at all crossings by easy connections
kept always open between them.
Need Rapid Conveyance.
Under present conditions, if NOV
ing at all, persons and the product of |
farm and factory, merchandise and |
supplies for men, and cattle must move
quickly. 1t is necessary, therefore. to
connect up railroad lines everywhere,
as the wisdom of the General Assem-
bly, has specially provided for in this
state, and SO shorten the routes of
transportation to all points of the COM
pass.
Railroad companies controlled by
private ownership and management
have been proceeding on a different
theory. They have connected up, even
at inexpensive grade crossings, only
if the value of the traffic of the other
line was advantageous to them. The
physical connection was estimated not
by the public demand, convenience
and necessity, but by reference to the
figures of the traffic manager to show
what it would pay. Under these con-
ditions the Legislature passed the act
requiring the connection, and being
remedial. to make effective the charac-
ter and purpose of the highways, the
construction to be given to the statute
must be broad and liberal.

CLEAR WEATHER FOR TODAY
Weather Bureau Predicts That Snow
Flurries Will Be Followed by
Lighter Atmosphere.

DR.. Hyatt has a pretty big Job on his
hands if he carries out the predictions
for the day. First he says there will
probably be local snow at night, to be
followed by clearing Sunday Yester-
day the weather bureau treated the
people to a regeneration of the temper
allure, which had begun to flag to an
astonishing degree. The low yesterday
was 81 and the high AZ. There was
only trace of precipitation. The rec
ord for the day reads:
Maximum temperature. AZ degrees;
minimum temperature, 81 degrees; mean
temperature. SO degrees. which is de-
grees below normal. Accumulated de-
ficiency of temperature since the first
of the month, 9 degrees. Accumulated
excess of temperature since January l.
LII degrees; relative humidity, S. pei
cent.
Total precipitation from p. m. to
p. M, trace; accumulated deficiency OF
precipitation since the first of the
month, 81 inch; accumulated excess of
precipitation since January 1, 2.S6
inches.
Lander came into its own estate
again yesterday, for it rose from the
class to the a. There wasn't any place
reporting less than two figures for cold
The surprising part of the weather bus
mess is how the cold keeps up in Yuma
The best Yuma could do yesterday was
80 fer low and 20 for high. Montgomery
reports a rainfall of nearly an inch and
half, which, added to the inch and a
half that fell there on the previous day,
ought to make Montgomery pretty
wet town.
Generally the temperatures have been
seasonable. The bureau says: ~ High
barometric pressure was central this
morning over Oregon, the lake region
and central valleys. Low pressure was
reported over the south plateau, British
Northwest Territory and east gull
states. The conditions have caused rain
or snow over portions of California, Ne
vada. Idaho. Oregon, Washington, Brit
ish Columbia, the gulf and Atlantic
states, with rain at time of observation
at Portland, Montgomery, Knoxville
and Norfolk. Heavy rainfall occurred
at Montgomery, LAP inches. Local snow

HARTMAN HAS
DAY IN COURT
Answers, DemurrerS and Bills
of Exceptions Filed in ILL.,
noiS Central Injunction.
NUMEROUS CHARGES MADE
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE FISH
IMBRoGLlO.

Chicago. Nov. 2S.-Answers. demur-
rers and bills of exceptions TO the in
junction suit brought by Stuyvesant
Fish and others in the Illinois Central
imbroglio, were filed today. The an
swer of John Jacob Astor. A. G. Hack
staff, John w. Auchincloss. Cornelius
Vanderbilt and J. T. Harahan. which is
made joint, is the most important of
the documents. Numerous charges re-
garding Mr.. Fishs acts as president of
the railroad are contained in it. 1t is
claimed that inasmuch as Fish, acting
as proxy, has in times past often voted
the stock held by the Railroad Securi-
ties company at meetings of the Illi-
nOis Central Railroad company he is
thereby estopped from now objecting
TO the ownership by the Railroad Sc
curities company of Illinois Central
shares.
Admission and Charge
In another section of their answer
these five directors of the Illinois Cen
trail admit the connection of Messrs.
Hartman, GOelet and Peabody with
the Union Pacific railroad, but they
point out in return that Stuyvesant
Fish is a director and member of the
executive committee of the Missouri
Pacific road, which, they assert, lis a
direct competitor of the Illinois Central
railroad" in much of the latter's terri
tory, while neither the Union Pacific
nor the Southern Pacific is in any sense
of the word a competitor Of the Hill
nois Central"
Alleged Misuse of Funds.
The defendants deny that they voted
for ]. T. Harahan and against Stuyves-
ant Fish in the election for president
of the Illinois Central railroad at the
behest of f. II. Hartman, asserting
that their action was taken because
''the said Fish had misused the funds
of the Illinois Central Railroad cum
pany," had used his power as presi-
dent of the said company to further
his personal interests, to the great per
il and financial injury of the railroad.
They also assert that Mr.. Fish made
Improbable contracts involving large
sums without the sanction of tie
board of directors.
Demurrers Als~ Filled.
In addition to this answer to the
charges OF Mr.. Fish. demurrers were
filed by the Mutual Life Insurance
company and the Railroad Securities
company. the former asking that the
suit be dismissed as far as it is con-
cerned.
Edward H. Hartman, Robert w.
Goelet, Charles A. Peabody and the
Union Pacific Railroad company filed
a bill of exceptions, most of the OBJ
jectiOns being made to excerpts from
an interstate commerce commission re-
port, which Mr.. Fish included in his
bin of complaint
