HELDREP' UGNANi.
Employees May Be Discharged fol
Belonging to Labor Unions.
OPINION BY JUDGE HARLAN
Federal Supreme Court Decides Rail-
roads Have Right to Dismiss
Union Men as Such.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The constitu-
tionality of the act of congress of June
/, 1898, prohibiting railroad companies
engaged in interstate commerce from
discriminating against members of
labor organizations in the matter of
employment, was called into question
by the case of William Adair VS.. the
United States, which was decided by
the supreme court Of the United
States favorable to Adair. The opin-
ion was by Justice Harlan and held
the law to be repugnant to the Con-
,stitution.
The court held that Adair, as mas
ter mechanic of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company, had a
right to discharge an employe be-
cause he was a member of a labor Or
ganization just as it was the EN-
ployes right to quit such employment
because of his membership in such
organization. Such a course, the de-
cision added, might be unwise, but,
regarded as a mere matter of right,
there could be no doubt. Congress
could not, under the Constitution, au-
thoriZe a violation of contracts under
the guise of protecting interstate
commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered a dis
senting opinion favorable to the law,
in which he said the courts decision
proceeds along very narrow lines.

Mr.. TAWNEY CALLS A HALT
Warns Congress That Country
Faces Large Deficit.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The urgent
deficiency appropriation bill occupied
the attention of the house to the ex-
clusion of all other business. A sur
prise was sprung when Chairman
Tawney of the appropriations commit
tee warned the members that the
country was confronted with the GER
tainty of a s10o,ooo,ooo deficit unless
the estimates for the next fiscal year
should be cut down materially.
A discussion on tariff revision was
injected into the proceedings in which
leaders on both sides of the house
tried to commit one another to def.
mite announcement as to whether il
successful at the November elections
there would be tariff legislation

ROOSEVELT Y 1 TO BLAME |.
Union Pacific Official Discusses
Reduction Of Forces.
SEES DULL TIMES AHEAD
Declares "Retrenchment and Economy
Necessary as Long as Reform
Activity Is Kept Up"
SEES DULL TIMES AHEAD

Omaha, Jan. 25.-The reduction OF
working hours of Union Pacific shop
men Is to be followed with reduc-
tion of working days from six to FIVE
a week At the headquarters of the
Union Pacific it is stated that Omaha
will not be the only place affected and
that there soon will be general re-
duction Of the mechanical force of the
road along it's entire length. This re-
luction probably will affect several
thousand men, either by reduction Of
working hours or final dismissal.
The World-Herald quotes Vice Pres
1dent NIohler as charging the reduc-
tion to "President Roosevelt's mania
for reform and indicating that his
company would work with a reduced
force so long as the presidents activ-
ity against corporations continues.
''You may say that the Union Pacific
IS only cutting down because it has
to-" he said, and not because it is any
pleasure to the company to throw
thousands of men out of work. The
public will be in no way affected by
the reduction in force and all the com
forts to travel will be preserved just
as before
1T is this Roosevelt pros perity that
makes this step necessary and it dis
gusts me to think that his mania for
reform should make the working class
thus suffer. This retrenchment and
economy will be necessary just as Ions
as this administration keeps up it's
reform activity and SO I am unable
to say how long it will be before the
old working time and the rest of the
working force will be reinstated."

Miss Augusta Fahrm, the young
woman who was arrested at Mime
apolis few weeks ago charged
with embezzling several thousand dol
lars from a steamship agency by
which she was employed, pleaded
guilty to grand larceny in the second
degree when arraigned in the Hen
nepin district court and was SEN
fenced to one year and four months
in the state prison.
In answer to questions by the court
Miss Fahrm said she was thirty-three
years of age; that she embezzled ap-
proximately $4,000, all OF which she
had spent.
Before imposing sentence judge
Holt commented upon the fact that
Miss Fahrm's home influence had
been good and that she had arrived
at an age of discretion. Under the
circumstances, he said, he could do
nothing but impose sentence in the
state prison.

endangering a score of structures.
Twenty guests at the hotel, which was
a four-story structure, were reused
from their beds by policemen and

JEROME SPRINGS SURPRISE
Ignores Scientific Testimony in
the ThaW Case.

New York. Jan. 28-The Thaw case
Is completed, as far as the introduce
ton OF evidence is concerned. The
prosecutions rebuttal was unexpected
ly brief, District Attorney Jerome
causing distinct surprise by announc-
ing that he would call no expert wit
nesses to rebut the testimony of the
alienists introduced by the defense.
it was said he would rely upon argu-
Ing that a competent case of legal in
sanity had not been made out. His
move also prevents the defense from
calling the states experts of last year
in sur-rebuttal to question them as to
their declarations before the lunacy
commission that Thaw was an incur
able paranoic and likely to do violence
If allowed TO go free.
The proceedings were materially
speeded by an agreement of counsel to
read to the jury the testimony of Abra-
ham H. Eummel concerning the afi-
davit Evelyn Nesbit is said to have
signed in 1903 charging cruelties
against Harry Thaw as given at the
last trial. This arrangement obviated
the necessity of holding court on
Blackwells island, where Hummel is
serving a sentence. In return for the
concession by the defense Mr. Jerome
allowed the will of the defendant to
go In evidence. The testament had
been held up for want of proof as to
its custody.
The prosecution brought several wit
nesses forward to say Thaw seemed
rational the night of the tragedy.

SMITH FOUND GUILTY.
Minneapolis Politician Convicted Of
Contempt Of Court.

Contempt Of Court.
Sherman S. Smith of Minneapolis
was found guilty of contempt of court
by Judge Page Morris in the Unit
ed States district court at ST. Paul
and he was sentenced to serve ninety
days in the Ramsey county jail A
stay Of execution for thirty days was
granted to permit Mr.. Smiths attor-
ney to take steps to have the judg-
ment reviewed by the United States
supreme court.
Mr.. Smith has been a prominent
Republican politician. He has served
In the legislature and during the late
session he was the speakers clerk
Since this charge was brought against
him he was elected vice president of
Minneapolis ward club.
The contempt charge grows out of
the case against alleged officers of the
Wisconsin Grain and Stock company,
who were charged with using the
mails to defraud. The trial of that
case stopped short when the charges
of contempt were made against Mr.
Smith and two Of the jurors, Lyman
! Bachelor of Madelia and E. C. Bene-
! dict Of Sabin.
| The charges were that Mr. Smith
and the two jurors had been talking
about the case while the trial was in
progress. Additional charges were
made against Mr.. Smith in affidavits
filed by George J. Hammond, one OF
! the witnesses for the government, who
| asserted that Smith in two converse
lions with him had made overtures
to influence his testimony. The two
! jurors subsequently were discharged

MAY ATTACK THE
FRENCH LEGATION
REFUGEES ADVISED TO ARM
THEMSELVES TO DEFEND
THEIR LIVES.

Port Au Prince, April "A spirit
of uncertainty and unrest still pre-
walls in Port Au Prince. The recent
abortive attempt at a second uprising
here, in which General Larraque,
chief of cavalry, and several other
army officials are alleged to have been
implicated, has given the government
cause for searching all quarters of the
city, in the hope of finding others
whom it suspects of being involved in
the plot.
The French minister to Hayti. Car
teron, has recently shown considerable
alarm concerning the action of the
Haytian government may take against
refugees now asylumed in the French
legation. Some refugees themselves
say that Carteron has advised them to
procure pistols and as much ammuni-
tim as possible so that they may be
prepared to defend their lives. Ac-
cording to the refugees, Carteron told
them he was unable to guarantee pro
lection in the event of an attack upon
The legation by the government troops.
The French minister declines TO
deny or affirm the story. The German
cruiser Bremen returned yesterday
from Kingston and the United States
cruiser Des Moines and gunboat Mari
eta are still here, The gunboat Pa
ducah will soon return from Guanta-
namo

company, when 'Rawhide" Gillespie
started TO walk through the car and
was met by Humboldt Gates, nephew
of John w. Gates. and several COM
panions. At sight of Gillespie, Gates
yelled:
Now I've got you! You'll never
jump another claim"
Gillespie replied as an honest Ne
yada prospector usually responds
when greeted in such manner, and
immediately Gates whipped out a big
revolver and declared in loud and ap-
parentiy angry words:
III shoot your heart QUIT
Gillespie reached for his gun, but
it was gone. so he turned and ran rap
idly through the car, yelling for some
one to give him a gun.
In the meantime Grace George and
the other actresses were crying with
fright and trying to make themselves
as small as possible.
Friends of Gates quickly stepped in
and put an end to what looked like a
real gun play, but which was in fact
only little Wild West show, arranged
especially for Grace George.
