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

WING
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 $50.
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 Chaillot.
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 or 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.

MODEL M IN PARK.
Recommendation of Superintendent at
Yellowstone.

Washington, Feb. 12.-General S. B.
M. Young, u. S. A, retired, who is
superintendent of the Yellowstone Ma
tional park, has recommended that
the garrison at Fort Yellowstone be
increased to four troops of cavalry of
100 men each-the increase to be per-
manent. General Young wants to es-
tablish two model camps of one troop
each, n in the Fire Hole geyser
basin and the other at the Yellow
stone lake outlet, and the other two
troops to be kept at headquarters for
discipline and instruction. Many Wis
itors in the park during the tourist
season have never see United States
soldiers in garrison or camp and Gen.
eral Young thinks it desirable to give
such an object lesson in the manner
that will court respect and admira-
ton for the regulars. He thinks the
enlisted men should remain as a per-
manent guard and that they should
receive foreign service pay.

OPPOSE PENDING BILLS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before the House
Committee.

Committee.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE anti-pro-
hibitionists had their innings when
representatives of the National Ger
man-American alliance appeared be-
fore house committee on judiciary to
oppose in general the sixteen bills in
troduced at this session for the sup
preston of the liquor traffic and in
particular the Littlefield bill propos-
ing federal aid in the enforcement of
local option excise laws. Those who
spoke against the bills were Attorney
p. A. Wildermuth of Philadelphia,
counsel to the Pennsylvania branch
of the alliance; Ernest G. Stahl of
the New Jersey Stats Journal, vice
president of the alliance, and Attorney
Theodore Sutro of New York, presi-
dent OF the New York branch and for
mer commissioner of taxes.
A running exchange of thrusts be-
tween MIR. Sutro and Representative
Littlefield, who is a member of the
judiciary committee, enlivened the
hearing and gave alternate comfort
to the allies of each. Among those
in attendance were several members
of the Women's Christian Temperance
union and half a dozen olergymen
from as many cities.
Mr.. Sutro assumed the familiar
ground that you cannot legislate mo-
rality into the people, and he flung into
Mr.. Littlefield's figurative teeth the
assertion that Maine, Mr.. Littlefield's
state, exemplified in a great measure
the soundness of the claim that PRO
hibition does not prohibit"

OBJECTS TO EXPENSES
Mr.. Tawney Declares Inland Wa
terways Commission Illegal.
10 AUTHORITY FOR ACTION

Chairman Ct House Committee on Ap.
preparations Asserts That the Pres
ident Exceeded His Powers In Gre
ating the Body in Question.
Washington, Feb. 1.-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 $1,875 to Sen
ator John H. Bankhead for services
as q member of the commission. Mr..
Tawney declared that he did not Ques-
ton 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 (Ind.), who
claimed hat 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.
"Do you understand the president
has power to commit this house to an
appropriation in violation of law?" in
quired Mr. Livingston (Ga.).
no." 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
commissioners had not been paid.
But they have been paid" insisted
Mr.. Fitzgerald, land it is possible to
ascertain from what fund"
MIR. Tawney challenged Mr.. Crum.
packer on the strength of his state
ment to say why the government
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..
T'awney, these expenses have not
been paid and cannot be under any
law now in force"
Mr.. Tawney asserted that If 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.

Declared Defective on the Ground
That They Simply Charge conspir-
acy in Restraint Of Trade Without
Stating Definite Times of Violation.
Columbus, O., Feb. 12.-The su-
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 H.
legal on the grounds of duplicity and
Indebtedness 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 a charge of engaging
in a 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 Indebtedness
of the indictments and all the de-
PENDANTS we're convicted. Their cases
we're 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 Ease was then taken to the SUI
preme court.

MORE REST
Is Required for Railroad Men
Since New Law Went
Into Effect.

4 /
Baltimore & Ohio railroad officials
announce that many train crews viii.
have TO take longer rest periods at, the
end OF the run furtherest. away from
their homes as a result OF the 10,
our law, which became effective
March 4. The officials state, however,
that not more thhn a dozen men will
have to change their place of resi-
dence.
Local railroad officials have just
completed a series OF conferences at
which changes made necessary on ac-
count OF the new law were discussed.
and It was announced comparatively
fow changes In the runs would be
made in the Pittsburg district
From reports filed by the principal
railroads II appears that the most im-
portant result OF the new law limit
ing te hours of trainmen has been to
equalize the rest periods OF those
crews who formerly took long rest
at the home erd OF their runs and a.
short one at the other end; and TO re-
duce the average income Of freight
trainmen IN numerous cases where the
rearrangemcnt Of ruus has necessl-
tated the employment OF additional
crews
In a number of eases a run Of 1850
miles has been divided so US to leave
100 miles to be operated the same
as before, while the other forty miles
Is operated by having crew 60 out
and come back again the same day.
This Advancement as well ais most
OF the other changes which have besn
made makes some increase in the to-
tai time spent at terminals, and in
this way makes necessary the employ
ment of additional crews, and the
payment for the time spent in this
added terminal work has in few
cases increased expenses. Many OF
the roads report that no important
changes were found necessary on
their lines.
