HARTMAN DENIES WAGE CUT.
And James j. Hill Says Crest Cure,'

New York, Feb. 24-E. H. Harri-
man reiterated emphatically today
his declaration that the managers of
railroads are not contemplating a re-
duction OF the wages of EMPLOYEES.
but are more concerned with pro-
noting policies which will restore
confidence, without which it will not
be possible for the railroads to ac-
compilsh certain financial results
which are necessary in the present
restoration of confidence, he de-
clared, it will be possible for the va
rious railroads to put back to work
men whom it was necessary to lay off
because Of stress following the finan-
cial panic Of last fall. Mr.. Hartman
said:
1--WE are not looking to reduce
wages; we are seeking to restore con-
f1dence and put men back to work
Until confidence is restored neces-
sary financing cannot be done and
the employees of the roads will have
to suffer. The question of wages Is
one between employers and employees
and must be settled by them"
James J. Hill was too busy to be
seen, but his secretary, Mr.. Brown
when Informed of the nature of the
questions which were to be asked
went into Mr. Hills room and re-
turned in few minutes smiling, and
said:
"Mr. Hill stated several months ago
that what the country needs Is the
rest cure, and he has not changed his
mind in the least. The country needs
a rest from all agitation

hotel to take action relative to the
reported reduction Of wages by rail-

The committee received word from
William H. Newman, president of the
New York Central, that no reduction
on the Central or its allied lines was
contemplated, and that for the pres
ent, at least, there would be none.

GOULD LINE INFRINGEMENT
Three of Largest shops Are Closed
Leaving 1000 Idle.


st. Louis, Mo-, Feb 24-Following
its policy of retrenchnaent, the Mis-
souri, Pacific-Iron Mountain system
closed three of its shops today, throw
ing nearly 1000 men out of employ
ment. The shops viii remain closed
until March 2.
The suspension Of the shops places
an extra hardship on the men, be-
cause they have not yet been paid for
January. NJ. c. Markham, assistant
to the president, gave out a staten ent
yesterday, in which he said that the
delay in paying off employees was not
due to financial reasons, but to a
shortage Of help in the auditing de-
partment. Nevertheless the men are
out of work temporarily, and many of
them are out of funds.
The shops which were closed today
are the following:
Missouri Pacific shops at East
Sedaiia, Mo-, between TOO and 500
men are Idle; shop to reopen March q
Missouri Pacific shop at Atchison,
Kan; 100 men thrown out of en-
ploy1ment; the force in this shop has
been reduced several times until it
was thought the minimum had been
reached.

Bernardo says that the closing order

POOR SERVICE ON THE B. & A.
Burlingame and Eskridge Protest
Against Present Train Service.

Eskridge, Kan, Feb. 24.-The peo-
pie along the line of the Burlingame
and Alma branch of the Santa Fe are
suffering from the worst railway and
mail service since the people voted
enough bonds to build this alleged
railroad. The single train leaving
Burlingame at p. m. seldom waits
now for passengers or mail from the
east, as the train out of Topeka short
ly after noon, and the first train west
for thirteen hours, runs late, and our
branch train does not wait for it.
Consequently the passengers for this
branch must wait almost "a hours Or
hire livery outfits at Burlingame and
drive to this and other points on the
line Petitions are being prepared
for the road officials and the state
railway commissioners will be called
on to help out mail and passengers.

rhe important thing to be re-
membered about the new play, ''The
Devil. which is to be produced
for the first time in Montpelier at
Strong's hall next Friday night, is
the fact thst in the story we have
not only play that will provoke
discussion but one that will support
it. The material, to be sure, is
as old as man, oil Ter than mans
writings and infinitely older than
mans Oldest play acting, and it has
been used in one form or another
time without number. But this
new playwright has cast it in a new
form; he has retold it in new man
nor the most ancient of ell stories;
he has, in 81 ort, dcfied tradition and
modernized the devil. The author
has made devil we can understand
and re-pect. He is polite, urbane;
he has traYelled-yes. and he is
brilliant in specoh, obllging, con-
ciliatory, agreeable; he is attractive,

a violation Of the prohibition law of
the state of North Dakota. The peti
toner was subpoennaed and appeared
before said grand jury as witness
on the investigation of said charge
against said Patterson. When said
Beer appeared before said grand jury
and was sworn, he was asked the fol-
lowing questions:
$50 far as you know, are all the
receipts of the business there car
ried on by Edward G. Patterson, turn.
ed over to him, or to someone repre-
senting him?''
HAS Edward G. Patterson, during
the time you were working for him
had Intoxicating liquors shipped in to
him."
eff so, how often and in what guam
tities?"
eff Intoxicating liquors have been
shipped in to him, have they been
stored in said hotel building?"
eff so, in what part thereof"
did you ever see anyone drinking
intoxicating liquor in said hotel?'
eff so, how often have you seen
them and state the different places?'
"How close to said cafe were said
intoxicating liquors stored in said no
tel, if they were stored therein?"
The said Beer refused to answer
each of said questions on the ground
that his answers thereto might tend
to incriminate him. The grand jury
reported to the court that said Beer
had refused to answer said questions
and acting on said report, the district
court issued an order directed to said
Beer, that he show cause why he had
refused to answer said questions. AT
ter hearing upon said order to show
cause, the district court adjudged that
the said Beer was guilty of contemp.
of court and that he be punished for
said contempt by payment of fine
Of S., and that he be committed to the
custody of the sheriff of Burleigh
county until such time as he should
answer said questions and pay said
fine, or until discharged from custody
| by the further order of said court.
After being committed, the petition.
] er applied to this court for a writ of
habeas corpus, and upon the hearing
of said application, it was contended
by the state that the commitment was
legal and that the petitioner was leg
ally imprisoned.
No question is raised as to the fact
| that the questions were such that the
answers thereto by the witness might
tend to incriminate him. The conten-
ton of the state is, however, that the

equivalent to that contained in the
constitution; or to remove the whole
liability against which it's provisions
were intended to protect them, it fails
tc deprive them of the right to appeal
to the privilege therein secured to
them"
This statement is in accord with our
views as to the proper construction
of our constitutional provision, al
though the Massachusetts, constitu-
ton is not in the same language.
The 9Th amendment to the Federal
constitution contains a provision
identically the same as the one un.
der consideration, and section $50 of
the U. S. Rev. Statutes is Of the same
import as our section 1888, supra.
These federal provisions were con-
strued by the U. S. supreme court in
Counselman VS.. Hitchcock, 142 u. S..
SAT. In an elaborate and exhaustive
discussion of all phases of this ques-
ton and after review of all the
authorities, that court has made it
plain, by the strongest reasoning thai
the constitutional guaranty is neces.
sarily invaded unless the witness is
protected from prosecution by stat
ute as broad and extensive as the
constitutional privilege, and that a
statute simply providing that the an,
swers of the witness shall not be used
against him is not as broad and com
prehensive as the privilege guaran-
teed by the constitution.
In that case the court said: cit re-
mains to consider whether section $50
of the Revised Statutes removes the
protection of the constitutional privi-
lege of Counselman. That sectiol
must be construed as declaring that
no evidence obtained from a witness
by means of judicial proceeding
shall be given in evidence, or in any
manner used against him or his pro-
perty or estate, in any court of the
United States, in any criminal pro-
ceedings of for the enforcement of
any penalty or forfeiture. It follows
that any evidence which might be OBJ
tanned from Counselman by means of
his examination before the grand jury.
could not be given in evidence or
used against him or his property in
any court of the United States, in any
criminal proceedings, of for the en-.
forcement of any penalty or forfe..tt-
ure. This, of course, protected hi
from the use of his testimony against
him or his property in any prosec |,
ton against him or his property, il
any criminal proceeding. in court
of the United States. But it had only
that effect. 1t could not, and would
not, prevent the use Of his testimony

A witness sworn before a grand
jury cannot be compelled to answer
questions which would tend to Grim
mate him, and is privileged from an
swering such questions by section 13
of the constitution, which declares
that no person shall be COM
PEELED in any criminal case to be a
witness against himself unless grant
ed unconditional immunity from pro-
secution. for the offense concerning
which he is testifying, by statute.
Section 1888 R. c. 1905, which pro
wides that mo person shall be excus-
ed from testifying by reason
of his testimony tending to criminate
himself (the witness) but the testi-
mony given by such person shall in
no case be used against him." does
not grant immunity from prosecution.
Under section 10 of the constitution
the witness is protected from testify.
ing to facts and circumstances from
which his connection with or guilt of
a crime may be proven through other
sources than his answers.
Before a witness can be compelled
to answer questions which tend to
criminate him, the statute granting
immunity must be co-extensive in
scope and effect with the constitu-
tional guaranty.

used in evidence against him or his
property, in criminal proceeding in
such court. It could not prevent the
obtaining and the use Of witnesses
and evidence which should be attrib-
utable directly to the testimony he
might give under compulsion, and on
which he might be convicted, when
otherwise, and If he had refused to
answer, he could not possibly have
been convicted. The constitutional
provision distinctly declares that a
person shall not be compelled in any
criminal case to be witness against
himself; and the protection of section
$50 is not coextensive with the con-
stitutional provision. Legislation can

to the court to be the true sense of
the rule that no witness is compella-

possible, but a probable case, that q
witness by disclosing single fact
may complete the testimony against
