The bombardment Of the case Of the defence pc
gan early to-day, when two witnesses sWore 1hat
Binning the night of the tragedy said TO them,
IF 1 had been i've ten minutes earlier Wculd

Late I'm the day the state introduced witnesses
attacking the reason the defence gave Tor pelng
in the street that Senator Carmack had to traverse
to get to his apartments This reason was that
Governor Patterson had sent for the colonel and
that Robin accompanied his father Adjutant Gen
eral Brown. Judge Bradford, Colonel Cooper and
Robin Cooper testified that after Colonel Cooper
left Bradfords office. just before the shooting Cen
eral Brown recalled him TO talk TO the Governor
over the telephone and that il in obedience
to the Governors command that the men were On
Seventh avenue. on which is the executive mansion

colonel, at Judge Bradford's suggestion, called up

In rebuttaI, too the state attacked Judge Brad

have shot Carmack himself with little remorse
as he would have shot a rattlesnake. She also
that Paul Davis, another defence witness
declared to her he would perjure himself to get on

defence has not announced Its purpose yet. but It

There are a Of lawyers in the case and the
speeches doubtless will last several days.
Soon after the court adjourned the states at
tOrneys went into conference At p. IN. they
emerged, and Attorney General McCarn held a war
rant for the arrest of s. J. Binnng on a charge
perjury. The specific allegation is that when he
testified that he Senator Carmack twirling the
cylinder of his revolver he swore to a lie The
warrant was served at once.

GAS COMPANY UINS.
Former attorney General jackson
Loses Nuit to Cancel Grants

Ex-Attorney General Jackson has been defeated
in his suit 10 have the courts cancel the consents
or grants lay and maintain pipes, obtained by
the Consolidated Gas Company and its subsidiaries
from the city. The case was first heard in Special
Term. of the Supreme Court and there decided IN
favor of the gas company. An appeal was taken
and the Appellate Division for this department
yesterday upheld the former decision unanimously.
Justice Laughlin writing the opinion.
The contention of the ex-Attorney General was
that many consents or grants had actually expired
and the suit was for an injunction to prevent the
exercise OF the rights under the citys original con-
cessions. The case argued by William A De
Carver for the Consolidated Justice Patterson
presided. and. with Justices Scott, Clarke and
Ingraham concurred IN Justice LauShlin's opinion
Justice Laughlin said that the acts Of which com
plant was made. namely the exercise Of rights
under expired grants. did not show that the de-
PENDANT unawfully held exercised its franchises
and after defining the nature Z the grants made
by the city. declared that they were given pur-
suant to an act Of the Legislature, which imposed
a condition that the public should be protected from
all risks incidental the Of the streets. There
was nothing to show. the opinion said. that the
Legislature intended that the Attorney General
should have the power enjoin a corporation from
using the streets in city the ground that the
period Of consent had expired, and that no new
grants had been made That purely a local
matter the Court held The opinion closes
follows:
1T may, therefore, well be left to the local
authorities of the city OF New York determine
what course should be pursued in the premises"

have studied them more diligently. in
the necessity of the case, they have
become experienced in these matters.
There is a solidity in their characters
which must impress even an ordinary
observer. AS a class they are modest
and unassuming. Their moral stand
ing is fully as high as the average
member of parliament-in some re-,
spects it is very much :dligheE... AS,
public speakers they are; everywhere
in demand and, on the whole, they
speak more interestingly than the av-

German Woman Leaders. :
In Germany there number of wo-
men labor leaders, who are doing
very effective service. was particu-
larly Impressed with their refined
manners and the intimate Knowledge
which they seem to possess concern-
ing not only the various aspects of the
industrial problem in Germany but
their familiarity with the labor situa--
ton throughout the, entire world: AS
one would expect to find in Germany,
practically all of the leaders among
the women are socialists. Herr Bebel,
leader of the socialists in the German
Reichstag, is not the ggressfve-look-:
ing Individual that I expected to find.
He is quiet, unassuming, rather
understood man, who is thoroughly
familiar with the POLITICAL Situation:
/" On the day that attended the Reich :
stag, the question under consideration
was the banking SYSTEM Of Germany,
and it was amazing to find the labor
men in the German congress holding
their own against the leading finah-
ciers of the world upon a subject with
which they are not supposed to be
very familiar \ 4~- ~~-t.
France naturally produces a radical
type of leader in the labor movement,
although the men who are at the head
of the bona <fide trades union propa-
ganda impressed me as being fairly
conservatives conservatism goes in
France. There is no doubt that the
radical leaders of labor in France are
doing the cause of organized labor
great injury. :
In Scotland and Ireland, the lead
ers have the charac, eristic which is
quite common in the rank and file
that of ''heckling" the speaker, which
is what one would expect from an
Irishman or a Scotchman. AS a mat
ter Of fact, some of the most interests
ing experiences which had during my
trip were had in these latter coun-
tries.

Far afield and off the beaten path,

those who believe in conventional
themes, did Sidney w. @Pascoe stray
in his search for a story that might
appeal to the great mass Of theater-
goers and in "Just A. Woman's Way"
which will be produced at the Lyceum
on Monday night, May 10, he has
evolved a most novel and attractive
theme. Being a: play that can be cas-

lessons are Applicable to all mankind,
its success is widespread. Mr.. Pas
