COUNT BONI FINED $40.
Victim of His Attack Awarded Twenty
Cents Damages.

Paris, Feb. 12-Count Boni de Cas-
tellane, the divorced husband of Anna
Gould of New York, was found guilty
by the correctional court of criminal
assault and battery on Prince Helie
de Sagan, his cousin, and fined S2e.
The prince was awarded 20 cents
damages.
The encounter between Count Boni
de Castellane and Prince Helie de
Sagan, which resulted in the prince
preferring charges against his cousin,
took place Jan. 2 in front of the
Church of St. Pierre de Chaill0t,
where a special memorial service had
been celebrated In memory of Lady
Stanley Errington, a relative of both
of the fighters. The service had just
ended and Count Boni and Prince
Helie met on the steps. Words were
exchanged and then the two men
came to blows and Count Boni swore
at his cousin and spat in his face.
The Prince de Sagan took the mat
ter to court and made charges
against Count Boni de Castellane and
his brother, Count Jean. The charge
against Count Jean was dismissed.
The cause of the fight is said to
have been because Prince Helie was
paying attention to Madame Gould
and this is supposed to have provoked
Count Boni to the assault

BRIDGE TRUST WINS
Ohio Supreme Court Annuls All
Convictions in That State.
INDICTMENTS HELD ILLEGAL
Declared Defective on the Ground
That They Simply Charge Conspir-
acy in Restraint of Trade Without
Stating Definite Times of Violation.

Columbus, O., Feb. 1.-THE SUI
preme court has caused a sensation
by knocking out all the indictments
against the bridge trust in Ohio. The
indictments, which were brought in
Erie county and charged violation of
the antitrust laws, were held to be
defective by the supreme court in
affirming the decision of the Erie
county circuit court in the Hughes
and Webster cases.
The indictments are held to be IL
legal on the grounds of duplicity and
indefniteness in that they simply
charge that the parties were engaged
in a conspiracy in restraint of trade
in March, 1903, to March, 1906, with
out stating definite times of violation
of the antitrust laws and because the
laws make each days violation a sep
arate offense and hence the basis of a
separate indictment.
The King Bridge company, the Mas
sillon Bridge company, Bellefontaine
Bridge and Iron company, Variety Iron
Works company, Mount Vernon Bridge
company of Columbus, Bracket Bridge
company and the Canton Bridge COM
pany were indicted in March, 1906, in
Erie county, on charge of engaging
in trust conspiracy from March 10,
1903, to March 9, 1906.
The common pleas court overruled
all motions to quash and demurrers
based on duplicity and indefiniteness
of the indictments and all the de-
PENDANTS were convicted. Their cases
were carried to the circuit court and
later the Canton Bridge company and
the Massillon Bridge company with
drew their petitions in error and paid
the fines imposed.
The case was then taken to the cir
cult court, which reversed the con-
victions in the common pleas court.
The case was then taken to the SUI
preme court.

Mr.. Tawney Declares Inland Wa
terways Commission Illegal.
NO AUTHORITY FOR ACTION
Chairman Of House Committee on Ap-
preparations Asserts That the Pres
ident Exceeded His Powers in Gre
sting the Body in Question.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The legality
of the creation by the president of
the inland waterways commission
was questioned by Mr.. Tawney
(Minn.), chairman of the committee
on appropriations in the house of rep.
resentatives. The point was raised
when Mr.. Tawney urged that the
house conferees disagree to the SEN
ate amendment to the urgent de-
ficiency bill granting $1,S75 to Sen
ator John H. Bankhead for services
as member of the commission. Mr.
raWney declared that he did not ques-
tion the motives of the chief execu-
tive, but insisted that his action was
without authority of law.
A difference of opinion was enter
tanned by Mr. Crumpacker Und), who
claimed that in extra constitutional
and legal matters the president did
have authority to incur expenses of
this character and he cited the an
thracite coal strike commission.

has power to commit this house to an
appropriation in violation of law" in
quired Mr. Livingston (Ga.).
mo-" replied Mr.. Crumpacker, but
he is not forbidden by law to appoint
a voluntary commission to gather ma
terial for his own information"
Replying to Mr., Fitzgerald IN. W
Mr.. Crumpacker said he assumed the
commits sioners had not been paid.
But they have been paid" insisted
Mr.. Fitzgerald, "and 1t is possible to
ascertain from what fund"
MIR. Tawney challenged Mr.. Crum-
packer on tho strength of his state
ment to say why the government
should pay the expenses of the COM
mission. but Mr.. Crumpacker assert
ed that he was not claiming that the
government should pay the expenses.
"As a matter of fact" retorted Mr..
Tawney, these expenses have not
been paid and cannot be under any
law now in force"
Mr.. Tawnay asserted that IL con-
gress pays the claim virtually it would
be acquiescing in the unauthorized
creation of the commission.
A motion by Mr.. Underwood that
the house recede and concur in the
amendment was lost, Sc to 101.

that all powers not specially delegated
thereto are reserved to the states, we here.
