LOOPING CHARGES
 AGAINST FOUR MEN
SEPARATE TRIAL WILL BE GIVEN ARCHITECT OF PENNSYLVANIA STATE CAPITOL, AND. A sENsA- TON IS EXPECTED.

Harrisburg, Pa., January 27.-The fea- capitol prosecution, which began in the Dauphin county court before Judge Kun kel today, was the agreement of the com monwealth to a separate trial for Archi- tect Joseph M. Huston. The common wealth objected to the motions of Hus- tons four co-defendants for separate trials, which motions were overruled by the court. The action of the common wealth in agreeing to a separate trial for Huston has given rise to rumor that the architect will turn states evidence and tell all he knows of the alleged frauds III the furnishing of the new capitol
 Counsel for the commonwealth decline either to affirm or deny this rumor. Wait and see.' is all they will say.
 The entire day was taken up with the futile efforts of the attorneys for the four defendants to, obtain separate trials and the selection of the jury. The selection of the jury was completed late in the afternoon.
 Not since the trial of United States Sen ator M. s. Quay ten years ago, for con spiracy to wreck Philadelphia bank, has there been so much interest in trial as has been manifested throughout Penn sylvania in the proceedings begun against the men charged with conspiracy to loot the state treasury in connection with the construction and furnishing of the big state capitol building. Since the rayela- tions of nearly two years ago, in which some of the foremost men in the state were involved, the imposing white mar ble structure on Capitol hill, with its or nate furnishings and frescoes, has been a point of great interest to curiosity seekers and citizens generally.

COMER MAY HEAD
 STATE DELEGATION May Be Needed to Direct Fight
 for Mir. Bryan ONTROLS THE COMMITTEE It Is Believed In Montgomery That the Executive Will Make the Race For the United States Senate
 To Succeed Bankhead.
0NTROLS THE COMMITTEE

Montgomery, January 27.-(Special)- Is regarded as certain that Gov. B. B. Conner will be one of the delegates at large from Alabama to the national dem- oeratic convention at Denver: also that the friends of the governor and the fol- lowers of MT. Bryan will control absolute ly in the party affairs in the state this year. It is pretty well established that Governor Conner is to keep in line for candidacy for one of the senatorial places later on and his friends believe that he will not let the complete grip which he has on the party organization at this time escape him.
 That the governor is going to run for the Senate is generally understood among those closest to him. The Montgomery Journal, known to be fully in the eonfi- dence of the executive says the statement of the governor at Birmingham was greatly misuHderstood. Also that his term expires two years before the term of the first vacancy occurs in the United States Senate from Alabama" The Jour nal then goes on to say: ''He would not violate the constitution of his state were he to be a candidate for the federal Sem ate to succeed to even the first vacancy there being two years between the time of the expiration of his term and the expiration of Senator BanlShead's first term" After saying that the governor has not said that he would or would not be a candidate for the Senate, the Jour nal continues: But there are evidences that his friends are going to insist on Governor Conner going higher. and Ala bama never had man in public life who so well deserves to go higher"
 It Is believed among the friends of the governor and. Mir Bryan that it will be safest to have the former at the con- vention in Denver, in order that noth- ing be left undone that might be to the interest of the Nebraska statesman. With the governor and John W. Tomin- son, the Bryan leader in the state it is thought there will be no Reflections in case a fight comes up that is overly warm.
 The state committee Is in the hands of the governor and his friends. He will be able to do what he pleases with it. It Is conceded that it will order a pri- mary, but the impression is that the dele gates to be selected by 1t will be left to name the 22 delegates which Sklabama is to have in the national meeting There has been some talk of voting direct for the delegates but this Is going to meet 1 with little support 1t is now thought The outlook is that left free, the con- vention will select a full list of Comer- Bryan men, who will go to Denver pre- pared to fight to the last ditch for their man, controlled, however, by the will of the governor and his judgment in any moves that may be made.

Jeff Davis levee Bill.

Washington. January 27.-Senator Jeffer- son Davis has prepared bill to put the levee system of the Mississippi river in the hands of the government, which he will introduce this week. By means of a sufficient appropriation he proposes that the government shall take over the pres ent ievees and proceed to maintain them The bill also will provide for the, appro- priation of money to drain the sunken lands in the Mississippi basin. Senator Davis maintains that 1t is as much the duty of the government to mantain the Mississippi levees and drain the low lands whereabouts as it is to spend money to re- claim arid lands of the west.

Willie Hoppe has is- sued a challenge to the winner of to- nights match, who will have to play the boy within 60 days. Hoppe has also chal- lenged Schaeffer for the trophy repre- senting the championship at lS.1 ballS line.

Supreme Court Decides Case for the Employer
JAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Justice Harlan Renders Decision up- holding Right of Employer To Dis charge Men For Belonging
 To Union.

Washington, January 27.-The con- stitutionality of the act of Congress of June l, 1898, prohibiting railroad com panies engaged in interstate commerce from discriminating against members of labor organizations in the matter Of employment was called into question in the case of William Adair vs. the United States, which was decided by the supreme court of the United States today favorable to Adair. The opinion was by Justice Harlan and he held the law to be repugnant to the constitu- tion.
 The court held that Adair. as mas ter mechanic of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, had a right to discharge an employe because he was member of a labor organiza- tion, just as it was the employees right to quit such employment because of his membership in such organization Such a course the decision added, might be unwise, but regarded as a mere matter of right, there could be no doubt. Con 'gress could not under the constitution authorize violation of contract under the guise of protecting interstate com merce.

CLOUD OVER FINLAND. Rumor Is Current That the Country Will Be Divided By the Czar.

St. Petersburg, January PA startling report is current both in St. Petersburg and in Hesingfors that the Emperor had decided upon the partition of Finland, annexing to Russia the district of Viborg, which formerly was a part of the em- pire, and sending an army corps to the grand duchy of Finland to overawe any protest. The plan, according to the re- port, would involve the retirement of Nicholas N. Gerhard, the governor gen eral of Finland, and the appointment of General Voerckman, the former aide of Count Brikoff, the governor general of Finland, who was assassinated in 1904.
 This report is strengthened by the pub lication in the Novoe Vremya of an arti- cle defending such step as being in the best interests of Russia.

Dissenting Opinion.

Justice Mckenna delivered dissent
 ing opinion favorable to the law. in which he said the courts decision pro- ceeds along very narrow lines.
 The case came to the supreme court
 on writ of error from the United States district court for the Easter, district of Kentucky. Adair is the master mechanic of the Louisville an,1 Nashville Railroad company, and he was proceeded against on. the charge | of threatening to discharge from the employ of the company locomotive l engineer named Coppage because the 1 latter was member of a labor union, The act of 1898. which was one of the results of the great Chicago strike. wa l invoked for Coppages protection and
 the district court fined Adair s1Oo The constitutionality of the act was strenu- ously attacked in the district court by the railroad attorneys and when the decision was announced. they promptly brought the case to the supreme court with the result that the decision of the lower court was reversed In his de- cision Justice Harlan said it was Adair's duty to serve employer as best he could, so long as he did nothing forbidden by law as contrary to the 1 public welfare.
 Supreme Court Justice Holmes also | expressed the opinion that the law sh ould be construed as constitional. He tracts had been stretched to the limit by the courts decision in this case. l That Congress had a right to so legis- late as to encourage labor organiza : | tions was another suggestion of Justice | Holmes.

Justice Harlan's Views.

While" said Justice Harlan in his
 opinion, "the lights of liberty and
 property guaranteed by the constitu-
 tion to every person within the juris-
 diction of the United States against
 deprivation without due process of law
 is subject to such reasonable restraint as the common good or the general
 welfare may require, it is not within
 the functions of governmental leas. in the absence of contract between the
 parties-to compel any person in the course of his business and against his will to accept or retain the personal services of another or to compel any person, against his will, to perform per sonal services for another. The right of a person to sell his labor, upon such terms as he deems proper, is in it's essence the same as the right of the purchaser of labor to prescribe the conditions upon which he will accept such labor from the person offering to sell it. So the right of an employe to quit the service of the employer, for whatever reason, Is the same as the right of the employer, for whatever reason, to dispense with the services or such employe. It was the legal right of the defendant, Adair however un- wise such a course might have been, to discharge Coppage because of his being a member of labor organiza- tfon. as 1t was the legal right of Cop page, if he saw fit to do so, however unwise such a course on his part might have been, to quit the service in which he was engaged because the defendant en,ployed those who were not mem bers of some labor organization. In all such particulars, the employer and the employe have equality of rights and any legislation that disturbs that equality is an arbitrary interference with the liberty of contract which no government can legally justify In free land"

The following from the Denison Her
aid is good sense: THE farmer who
laughs at the suggestions and ideas
advanced for Improvement of farming
conditions by experts and the news
papers is the farmer who continues
to worry along in the same old rut
that has kept back the progress Of
the South for years. He is rapidly
being outnumbered however, by more
progressive men who are adopting
the new ideas and taking advantage
of every source of information they
can lay their hands on. Yod can see
success written on their faces, for the
future is bright with promise for
them"

A circular recently issued by the Tex.
as A. and NJ. college states that Texas
agricultural prosperity is hampered by
the lack of good roads more tia any
thing else. This is testimony from a
high source and should be needed by
those who are most vitality interested,
the farmers. Why cannot it be under
stood that it costs as much to move a
load five miles over bad roads as it
does to move it a hundred miles by
railroad. If the farmer was obliged
to pay out his actual loss in cash ey-
cry time he took load to market he
would son see the point.-Beaumon
