Verdict for Game and Fish Commission

Brainerd, May 27.-(special tc
Pioneer. The jury in the case OF
Barnhart Bros. VS.. The Northern
Pacific Express company, returned a
sealed verdict last night, which
when opened this morning proved to
be in favor of the defendent COM
pany.
This case was the result of seiz-
ure, by the game warden, of large
quantity of fish which had been
consigned to Booth & co. at St. Paul
and were being shipped by Barnhart
Bros, from Brainerd. The fish were
seized, the warden claiming that the
fish had been netted.
E. E. Mcdonald of Bemidji was
attorney for the defendant company
(the real defendant being the State
Game and Fish Commission.)
Considerable evidence was offered
both for the prosecution and the
defense.
The verdict is a great winning for
the Game and Fish Commission, and
will have tendency to deter people
netting fish for the St. Paul markets.

Henry Wade Rogers, dean of Yale
law school, chairman of the committee
on judiciary, presented a resolution
calling on that committee for an opin-
ion regarding the constitutionality Of
the famous paragraph 24S of the book
of discipline which relates to prohib-
tied amusements. Every parliamentary
device was resorted to in order to pre-
vent such reference of the resOlu-
ton, the fear being that a prejudg-
ment of the question by the commit
tee might affect the main debate on
the paragraph. A vigorous appeal for
an open discussion of the matter on its
merits when it came before the con-
ference prevailed and the resolution
was laid on the table. ..

ton, who have been "chaperoned''

Guthrie, Okla, May 27.-The sun

lines must remain annulled for sew

partial service is possible. The dam

course be only roughly estimated, but
a conservative figure places the DAM

Der of Slavs, Hungarians, Poles, Ital-
ians, Russians, Lithuanians and other
foreigners were invited to attend the
execution here of Felix Radius, a
young Pole, who while intoxicated
murdered woman and her Child at
Shenandoah six months ago. The
hanging took place in the yard of the
Schuylkill county prison and about 500
persons were present. The execution
was not public one in the sense that
every one who went to the jail was
admitted, but the sheriff was quite
liberal in the distribution of tickets.
The idea of having present representa-
tives of the various foreign elements
in this section of the coal region orig
mated with Sheriff Clay Evans, who
thought the story of the execution as
told from the lips of the foreigners
will have salutary effect in curbing
the murderous tendency of some of
the lawless element
Just before leaving his cell for the
march to the scaffold Radius con-
fessed to the Shenandoah murder and
said he killed man in Russian Poland
three years ago and that he fled to
this country to avoid arrest. He ap-
peared to be greatly relieved after ad-
uniting his crimes and walked with a
firm step between two priests to his

Washington, May pa formal con-
ference between the Republican con-
ferees of the senate and the house on
the currency has been held. From ad-
missions made by the members of the
conference it is understood that while
no positive agreement was reached
there was general acceptance by the
conferees of the plan for compromise
between the Aldrich and Vreeland
bills, which provides for the issuance
of emergency currency alternatively
under both the Vreeland and Aldrich
plans. Both houses are making earnest
preparations to take up any report
that may be made and renewed efforts
were made to hold members in their
seats. Representative Burke, acting
whip for the Republicans Of the house,
sent a letter to every Republican
member urging him to remain in
Washington and be prepared to attend
meetings of the house when the cur
rency questions shall come up.
An investigation made by the SER
geant-at-arms of the house shows that
of the 1872 voting members 900 men,
bers of both parties are now in the
city. Of these 100 are Republicans
and 100 Democrats.
