CAPTAIN CARTER
WlNS HIS SIT

Chicago, March 25.--The final decree
in the casc OF OEerlin NJ. Carter, form
er captain in the United States engineer
corps, has been entered by Judge o h
saat IN the United States circuit court.
Practically all the findings are in the
favor of the former army officer.
While Carter does not get a large
share Of the funds which have been the
subject OF litigation between him and
the government h cost Of this and all
other suits against him are taxed
against the government. BY the decree
Carter Is awarded $4,000 which was
held by the court to be without faint"
The total amount attached by the
federal authorities some years ago was
about $409, 900. A part OF this Carter
claimed to have received from his faith
erinlaw, the late Robert +. Westcott,
Of New York.
In an opinion announced by Judge
Kohlsaat some week ago, It was held
that a large part OF the funds received
by Carter from Westcott were faint
ed" and while Carter may not have
known of the secret partnership be-
tween Westcott and Greene and Gay
nor, yet in the yes OF h law, he was
supposed to have knowledge that
Greene and GaynOr, the contractors.
were reaping enormous profits from
their work.

spent In defending himself before the
army court martial and in other tri-
bunals. All the expenses Of suits
against Carter in Chicago, New York,
Savannah and other places, except a
small per cent to be determined later,
are to be paid by the government. This
amount Is estimated to be about $780,
900. The court holds further that Of
the money which 1t was claimed Car
ter received from Greene and Gaynor.
more than $685. 600 came from West
colt. Inasmuch as the court declares
these latter funds to be tainted they
are to be retained by the government
and court costs and attorneys fees ARC
to be paid from them.

Richmond, Va, March 24.-Alden Bell
OF Culpepper, has instituted and engi-
neered through the Virginia general as
sembly q unique bill for the abolish
ment OF the ''unwritten law" In Viz
ginia. The famous Strothers-Bywaters
case, at Culpepper, n the moro recent

the law is based.

such a measure. Judge Bell has had q
most interesting career. He has been
in every habitable country on the globe

upon some member OF his family, or
one occupying such relation. whether

ating circumstance, It shall be lawful
for the commonwealth to introduce evil

FAMOUS COVE OF
IS SHOT DOWN

Hugo, Colo. March 2S.-Called from
his office in the depot for q supposed
friendly chat, John Heyman. famous
cowboy and pioneer of the Hugo
try, but lately employed as Waterman
for the Union Pacific, was shot down
IN the waiting room Of the station by
Lon Brockway. The cause Of h shoot
ing Is unknown, unless II Is h result
Of a grudge which Is said to have x
listed between the men for years.
Heyfnan was shot through the alb
domen, the bullet entering the left side,
passing entirely through the body and
Embedding itself in the muscles Of the
right arm. The wounded man was i'm
moved to the Mercy hospital, where an
operation was performed, out little hope
Is held for his recovery.
No statement could be q from Hey
man before his remova on account OF
his weakened condition, and Brockway
refuses to talk. The latter Is confined
In the county jail here. He Ia sullen
diticn Of his victim and the probable
fate which awaits him should Heyman

There were n half dozen eye wit

wounds
Heyman had the reputation Of being
an expert cowboy and vas regarded
as q dead shot with either rifle or re-
volver. He was chief cook for the great
cowboy breakfast rendered to President
Roosevelt when the chief executive

which Il cannot control: and upon this
limo or reasoning II has been the con-
sistent ruling OF the commission that
joint rates cannot be made between
carriers subject to the act and those
not subject to the act.
Open Rate.
On foreign m the rate to
be published with this commission
should be the rate to the port, and
from the port-an open rate, which any
who desire to do so may use with
equal advantage. The publication OF
such rate does not In any nj limit
the very valuable privilege OF through
billing. Such through billing should
clearly separate the liability OF the rail-
ana b ocean carrier and show the
published rate OF the inland carrier.
The routing OF the freight. however,
should remain with the shipper. and
upon him may be imposed no greater
charge to the port when his freight goes
by one ocean line than by another, and
this rate to the port the tariff must
disclose,
His ruling Is the only one which
is consistent with what seems to be the
policy Of the law. viz, that while re-
Striction and control are essential as to
the inland carriers OF foreign commerce,
the ocean carriers Of such commerce
should remain unrestrained and free.
There is not today, and never has been,
such q thing as stability of rates upon
the water. Perhaps II is not desirable
that there should be. The ocean Is a
highway free to all. No franchise is
needed to sail the seas, nor is the es-
Enlistment OF a line of ships founded
either In law or in economics, upon the
theory OF o public-serving monopoly
which underlies the relation OF the rail-
road TO the state. II may well be,
therefore, that without regulation, and
by reason Of natural competitive con-
1itions, the public will be best served,
and In the n treated more equitably
by leaving the water carriers to for
eign lands entirely unhampered by le-
gal restrictions such as the people of
this n other lands have found It nee.
essary to impose upon the railroads."
