EIGHT NIGHT RIDERS
CONVICTED
SIX ARE FOUND GUILTY OF MUIR.
DER IN THE FIRST DEGREE
AND TWO IN SECOND.

Union City, Tenn, Jan. with 9
verdict of guilty, the jury in the night
riders trial reported at S:45 tonight
Garrett johnson, It'd Burton, Boz
Ransom, Fred Pinion, Arthur Cloar
and Sam Applewhite were convicted
of murder in the first degree, with
mitigating circumstances, and Bud
Norris and Bob Huffman, the other
defendants were found guilty of MUIR
der in the second degree. Their pun
ishment was fixed at 20 years in the
penitentiary.
The punishment of the six first
named defendants was left to the
court and may be death or life i'm
prisonment, and the court has indi-
Gated an intention to pronounce the
death penalty. The defense made a
motion for a new trial, which was set
for hearing Saturday, and which will
be overruled. Sentences will then
be imposed.
The jury went out at p. m, but
because of the illness of Juror Rosson
was not able to consult until s p. m.
There was a difference of opinion
among the jurors as to the degree Of
guilt of the defendants, but an agree
ment was reached quickly.
The defendants received the verdict
calmly. Attorney Pierce turned to
them when it was announced and said: !:
I'VE will tear this case to pieces in
the supreme court"
Bob Huffman, one of the men to es-
cape with 20 years, is the one who
according to the confession Of Frank
Fehringer, fired the shot which killed
Captain Ranken as he was being drawn
up by the rope.
When the jury was in readiness to
report the military quietly surround
ed the house, but there was no demon
stration. The prisoners were quickly
handcuffed and under military escort
taken to prison.

PERKINS COMMITTEE WOULD IG.
MORE PRESIDENTS SECRET
SERVICE MESSAGE.
WILL MAKE ITS REPORT
Members of House Appointed to De-
eide Upon Course to Be Followed
Will Recommend Today That No
Communication Considered Disre-
spectful Be Given Consideration.

Washington, Jan. THE Perkins
committee will recommend tomorrow
that President Roosevelt's secret SER
vice message of January be laid on
the table. A similar request will be
made for the tabling of that portion of
the presidents annual message re-
lating to the secret service on the
ground that ii reflects upon the in
tegrity of the house.
The extreme course advised by the
committee, that of declining to con-
slider any communication from any
source which, in the Judgment of the
house Is not respectful, is likely to
create sensation. The report of the
committee will include the paragraph
of the message which refers to the
secret service and suggests that the
reason congress restricted its use
was because members of the congress
themselves did not wish to be inves-
tigated
This will be followed by an excerpt
from the message of January T. Aft
er setting forth the presidents state
ment that the house had failed to un-
derstand his meaning. the report of
the special committe will say that the
language itself will be judged ac-
cording to the accepted interpreta-
ton of the English language.
That the house is charged only with
its responsibility to the people and to
preserve its own dignity will be as
serted with great force, and If the
report is adopted the house will in
sist upon its own capacity to under
stand the import of the presidents
language. 1t will be asserted that
the language in question was uniusti-
fed and without basis of fact and that
1t constituted breach of the privilege
of the house. Fer that reason the
special committee will ask to be
discharged from further consideration
OF that portion of the presidents mes
sage which refers to the secret SER
vice and will recommend that. to-
gether with the subsequent message of
the president in reply to the house de-
mand for an explanation, be laid on
the table as being unresponsive and
constituting an invasion of the priyi-
leges OF the house by questioning the
motives and intelligence of mem
bers

CULBERS0N
ASSA|LS CHIEF
EXECUTIVE
CHARACTERIZES HIS ACTION IN
MERGER MATTER AS "ARBI-
TRARY AND LAWLESS."

Washington. Jan. 2.-Characterizing
the action of the president in directing
the attorney general not to prosecute
the United States Steel corporation for
its absorption of the Tennessee Coal g.
Iron company, as another arbitrary
and laWless act of the chief magis-
trate," Senator Culberson of Texas
introduced resolution instructing the
committee on judiciary to report
whether the president was authorized
to permit such absorption.
Mr.. Culberson cited legal authorities
to prove that congress is empowered
to place restrictions on heads of ex-
ecutive departments and to direct their
acts. He read a statement in which
the attorney general was quoted after
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
& Iron company by the United States
Steel corporation as saying that he
would proceed in the courts against
the steel corporation if the steel cor
poration should violate the law in re-
spect to restraint of trade.
Received Letter.
torney general then had received from
the president a letter in which he
told him it was contemplated to merge
the Tennessee Coal & Iron company
into the United States Steel corpora
tion, and that, so far as he was con-
cerned, he did not see fit to inter-
fere.
At the time the president was taking
his action in respect to the steel cor
poration, Mr. Culberson said, the at
torney general was proceeding to dis
solve the tobacco trust on the ground
that it had absorbed some of it's RI
walls.
Complete Answer.
''The response of the president"
said Mr.. Culberson, "is complete an
sWer to the senate resolution. It shows
that no action has been taken by the
department of justice, and that none
has been taken because the president
took the matter in his own hands, as
is not infrequently the case. 1t shows
further that another arbitrary and
lawless act of an important nature has
been traced to the chief magistrate,
who Is solemnly obliged by the consti-
tuition not only to obey the laws HIM
self, but to take care that it Is faith
fully executed by Others"
Hopkins Suggests.
Mr.. Hopkins suggested that the
president in his message did not make
any statement susceptible of the inter-
pretation placed on it by Mr. Culber-
son.
THE question we have before u.s."
said Mr.. Culberson, "is whether there
Is any law that authorizes the presi-
dent to issue a permit to allow the
violation of statute whether to re-

other purpose.
