HAS TIME To REFLECT
Senate Judiciary Committee
Delays Merger Report.
GOES OVER TO WEDNESDAY
Members Regard Matter as of
Utmost Importance.
ACTION TO BE DELIBERATE
Charge Is That President of United
States Permitted a Viola
ton of Law.
GOES OVER TO WEDNESDAY
ACTION TO BE DELIBERATE

SO important, in the opinion of the COM
mittee on the judiciary of the Senate, is
the report declaring unlawful the merger
Of the United States Steel Corporation
and the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany, adopted last Saturday by the Clark
subcommittee, that the committee decided
this morning to postpone consideration of
it until next Wednesday afternoon, to
allow time for the members to reflect
There was no discussion of the merits
of this sweeping rebuke to the President
at a meeting Of the committee this morn
ing. What was said was only to indicate
how seriously the matter is regarded.
Whatever action is taken by the commit
toe will be done deliberately and in no
undue haste This has been assured
Every senator is asking every other
senator today what are the chances for
the adoption of the report by the full
committee when it comes to a show of
hands. All of the members admit that
the report is pretty strong, stating un-
equivocally, as it does, that the Presi-
dent permitted a violation of law, and
that no matter what the President says
it is the duty of the Attorney General
to begin suit against the steel trust for
violation of the Sherman antitrust law.
Majority May Sign Report.
But the republicans on the committee,
other than Senator Kittredge, who has
already signed the report, will not say
whether they think 1t is too strong, with
the exception of Senator's Clark and Dill
lingham, who think it is and have refused
to sign it as members of the subcom-
mittee.
With the five democratic votes in the
committee and the vote of Senator Kit
tredge, 1t will be within one of a major
ity. 1t is rumored that Senators Fora aker
Nelson and Fulton are seriously thinking
of casting their votes for it, and if one
of them does, 1t will be adopted and pre-
Sented to the Senate.
Another possibility is that the COM
mittee will soften it a bit and then adopt
it. 1t Is asserted by it's friends that the
subcommittee report will certainly get
before the Senate even though it be de-
feated in committee, which seems unlike
ly. In that case it would come in as a
minority report. and, having six votes
against the seven votes of the ma jority
report. it would be bound to have great
weight in the minds of the people, it is
said.

SUPREME COURT CITES
DECISION IN RUEF CASE
Refuses Writ of Habeas Corpus
to Convicted Murderers

The supreme court yesterday cited
one of the Ruef decisions when it de-
MED the applications of John Hayes
and Frank Sidelinger for writs of ha-
beas corpus to secure their release
from the Humboldt county Jail, where
they are awaiting a second trial on a
charge of murder. Both men were
convicted of murder in the second
degree and sentenced to 20 years i'm
prisonment.
They asked for new trial, which
was denied by the lower court The
district court of appeal. however, re-
versed the decision of the lower court
and remanded the prisoners into the
custody of the sheriff of Humboldt
county. 1t was to secure their release
from the custody of the sheriff on bail
that they applied for the writ of ha-
beas corpus.
The decision of the supreme court,
which is cited In this case. reads that
the trial court has the discretion to
grant or refuse bail to the defendants
who had appealed for a trial and NAV
commit them to custody to abide the
jud gment or further order of the
court
