OF THE PLATFORM

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
CHICAGO, June 16.-The Wade Ellis
draft or tentative platform was submitted
10 the committee on resolutions this az
ternoon. II is fulsome and lengthy in
the praise OF the Republican party and

frJmed is:
I'VE declare for such amendments Of
the statutes Of procedure in the federal
courts with respect to the use Of the writ

vent the summary issue OF such orders
without proper consideration and on the
other hand will preserve undiminisned
the power Of the courts to enforce their
process to the end that justice may be
done at all times and to all parties"
After reciting what has been done in the
way OF labor legislation the platform SAYS:
But there is further work in this direc-
tion yet to be done. and the Republican
party pledges its devotion to every cause
that makes for safety and the better
mont Of conditions among these whose
lahor contributes so much to the progre s.
ana welfare of the country"

torney-General Bonaparte representing
the United States Government and John
G. johnson as chief counsel for the seven

first step to test the constitutonallty Of
the commodity clause OF the Hepburn mn
was taken this morning before Judges

burg. and Dallas. OF this city. in the
Third District Federal Court
The commodity clause Of the bill pro-
vides that no railroad company can

The railroads in their answer. which
will be the same for all. will attack the

Working on this clue, the police o.
the Twenty eighth District, who knew
Of Peterson's former service at Fort

erson is held at the Jail at Salem tC
await extradition papers to bring hin
TO this city for trial. He will probabi,
