REBATE QUESTION
 IS VERY PUZZLING

New York, April 6-The case of the government against the Great Northern Railway company in which charges of violating the Elkins anti-rebating law are involved is being held before Judge Holt and a jury in the United States circuit court. But one witness, George T. Rob- erts, an auditor of the interstate com merce commission, was heard. He testi- fled that he made an examination of the company's records and found no records of tariffs showing through rates filed re- .speeting the shipments of sugar com plained of.
 Counsel for the defense admitted that rebates had been granted to the Amer ican Sugar Refining company aggregating s14,5s9, but contended that inasmuch as they were made in 1902, before the Elkins law went into effect, he would ask the jury to acqut his clients.
 The governments counsel argued, how ever, that even though the shipments were made before the passage of the law the rebates were paid two years later or in 1904 and that the railroad company must. therefore, be held liable: Both sides rested their cases on the agreed facts that the sugars were transported in 1902, that the Elkins law was enacted in l9OS and that the rebates were paid in 1904. Judge Holt said he would not charge the jury until tomorrow and ordered an adjourn ment until that time.

 As soon as the leak was discovered the water was ordered turned off and the children had nothing to drink this after noon when they went out to play
 Some of them immediately got busy and a petition signed by every one of them will be presented to Superintendent Lopez and he will be implored to have the water turned on once more. One of the little boys was heard to remark that if this was not done he was going to see if he could not have Judge Lopez impeached. If numbers could do such a thing it would more than probably be done as the park is full of children every afternoon from 3 to o'clock.
 It is believed that when Judge Lopez realizes what an array he has to do bat tle with he will make arrangeInents to see that the defect is remedied

Bessemer April 6.-(Special President Lewis called a special meeting of the council this evening and they were all there. This is the second caucus that has been held within the last seven days. and they were both held for the purpose of selecting a new school board Alderman Edmundson was smooth enough to have the matter put off both times. Alderman Copeland stated at the start that he had come up there for the especial purpose of disposing of the matter and he would not have been on hand had he not thought the matter was going to be settled. He was one of the men who afterward voted to let the matter go over. Aldermen Batson and Winters were the only two men who wanted the matter settled this evening
 It was finally decided that the matter of evening of April Is, just two days after the primary It is understood that some of the aldermen are very busy counting probable votes just at the present time and, of course, they do not care to run the risk of losing a vote by voting for the wrong man in caucus.
 A long list of probable candidates was read out, and it will be indeed a hard matter to select five men out of the num- ber. There is no doubt but that every man whose name was read out would make good man for the position still there are only five to be selected and. of course, some one will have to be sacri- feed.
 Some of the gentlemen whose names were read out will in all probability not care anything about entering the race. and some names have been suggested by friends.
 It Is the impression of a good many that the board should have been elected to- morrow evening, so that they might get down to work, but the council did not seem to view the matter in any such light.

De Arr1ond Calls the Speaker Nothing More Than a Czar, Who Rules the House With Despotism and

New Haven. Conn.,, April 6.-Con- gressman David R. DeArmond of Mis- sour addressed the Yale forum of the law school tonight on Certain Traits and Tendencies"
 In his address he said:
 Ours is a government wherein the federal constitution is the supreme law Of the land. By the constitution all ether laws are tested. A written con and too rigid; and our constitution is we'll within the rule. Among the ten dencies now operative is one to stretch the constitutions; to find in it and geS cut of it whatever is wanted. Forms are regarded and observed so far as may be necessary, but really the ae- cepted creed of particular group of persons, prominent and active in Amer lcan public life, is well expressed m the conundrum: What is the constitu- tion between friends?
 "To some minds that is constitutional which to the same minds appears to be important and desirable. Some get

Since one of the declared purposes of the constitution makers is to promote the general welfare, there fore-so these enthusiasts would have it-there must be in the constitution somewhere whatever may be needful to

It came from the days of the stage coach, the sailing vessel, the spinning wheel, the pine knot light the Dutch oven, the knitting needle and the flintlock gun. It was brought forth iii primitive times, when riches did not abound and when mighty combinations were unknown. Can it be fui'y adapted to an age of steam and electricity and pgodigious wealth?
 We should have a convention to cor sider and propose amendments to the would surely come out of such a con- vention, though it is so difficult to amend the constitution that one would be pronounced optilnist if he were to anticipate that very many really i'm portant amendments could be carried into t ia the preseibed constitutional way. But a constitutional convention would at least serve as clearing house for thought upon and consider ation of most important governmental, matters. It would do more, for out Of .'s proceedings and the interest that they would command much good legis- lation, national and state certainly would come"
