IN NEW YORK.

New York, Jan. 23.--The subpoenas
calling for the appearance before the
federal grand Jury Of J. Angus Shaw
secretary of the Press Publishing com
pany, publishers Of the World, and Of
William P. Mclaughlin, sporting edi-
tor of the World, TO testify all and
everything which you may know gen.
orally on the part Of the United
States, the validity of which had been
questioned by the attorneys for the
World. were set aside and quashed
Friday by a decision handed down BY
Judge Ward, in the United States
circuit court.
The opinion which invalidates the
subpoenas in question afirms the
principle enunciated in the fifth
amendment to the constitution which
provides that no one shall be com
PEELED In any criminal case to be a
witness against himself. A subpoena
duces tecum calling for the federal
grand Jury for the books and reports
Of the World is also set aside by the
decision.
Fridays action by the court upsets
the established practice of nearly 80
years and is considered to be OF very
far-reaching importance.
How very far reaching the decision
Is indicated by Judge Ward himself,
who declares:
1T is not question Of the nature
Of the particular subject now under
consideration by the grand jury, but
the question is to determine the prac-
tice to be followed in this district in
all cases, by all United States attor-
neys and grand iuries, a matter con-
cededly of the utmost moment"
United States District Attorney
Henry L. Stimson, while admitting
that the decision upsets practice
current since 1852. is confident that
It does not open the door to review Of
federal cases already adjudicated.
Fridays decision also affects the va
lIdity of a subpoena "duces tecum,"
served upon the secretary Of the
Press Publishing company and calling
and receipts of the World, for ex-
on him to produce the books, records
animation by the federal grand jury
Judge Ward held that the subpoena
in question might amount to an I'M
reasonable search or seizure within
the fourth amendment to the Consti-
tuition" and granted the motion to
quash and set 1t aside, together with
the others.

An OVATION FOR MITCHELL
MINERS WARMLY GREET THEIR
FORMER PRESIDENT.
Thirteen Hundred Delegates Wildly
Cheer Leaders Address at In
dlanapolis Convention.

indianapolis, Jan. 2S.-This was
John Mitchell day in the convention
Of the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea. When the former president OF
the miners appeared upon the stage
Of Tomlinson hall, the 1900 delegates
went wild with enthusiasm. There
was a storm of cheers and many of
the delegates wept from intense emo
ton. Seldom has such scene been
witnessed in a convention.
Mr.. Mitchell, who was deeply
moved, came forward to the edge of
the platform and said:
II feel keenly sensitive to the re-
ception you have given me this day.
1t would seem that at least in
miners convention, former leader Of
laboring people loses none of his lustre
because he is sentenced to jail"
He was interrupted by another thun-
derous burst Of applause. When the
tumult had subsidized Mr.. Mitchell be-
gan a long speech dealing with the
condition of the organization, but
principally with the sentence to Jail
imposed upon him, Samuel Gompers
and Frank Morrison by Judge Wright.
Of the District Of Columbia, and his
conception Of its significance to the
cause Of organized labor and the free
dom Of speech. His address frequent
ly was broken by shouts Of approval
from his audience, which hung intent
upon his very word.
Mr.. Mitchell pictured what he con-
sidered the injustice Of q system BY
which the constitutional rights Of
free speech and free press were de-
MED" and by which men could be
deprived Of their liberty without a
trial by jury.
He denied the charges made that
iaborlng men wish special privileges
under the law, but he declared that
they do wish rights guaranteed by the
constitution to all men. He said the
Wright decision only emphasized the
need of legislation that win secure
to every citizen the right Of trial BY
jury before being sent to jail. He re
viewed his own case, pointing out that
his greatest oifense seemed to consist
OF presiding over the miners conven-
ton that last year passed an unfair"
or boycott" resolution against the
product Of an alleged unfair concern.

A TARIFF BREACH
MEN FROM DIFFERENT STATES
AT VARIANCE ON PROPOSED
CHANGES.
NEED OF EXPERTS EVIDENT
East Not Alone to be Considered AZ
Has Been the Case Here
tofore Says the
West.

Washington, Jan. 23.-It is becCm'
ing increasingly apparent that the
tariff revision by congress, without
the advice Of an expert commission,
Is In danger Of the same old log roll
ing that always has determined pro
tective schedules. The Kansas dele
cation Is deferring its appeal for home
Industries to the ways and means COM
mittee until the return OF Representa-
tive Calderhead, who is member OF
that committee. He is Ill at home.
Then the whole range of Kansas prod
ucts will be gone over to see which
need help.
It is taken for granted that there
will be an appeal from Representa-
tive Campbell for the zinc industry Of
his district, which is now unprotect-
ed. The same policy holds true OF
other states. The representatives
favor tariff revision, but want to see
their own states taken care of. Such
good revisionist as Burton of Ohio
frankly admits that he is embarrassed
over wool, which is a pet industry Of
Ohio farmers. The delegations from
the northwest, whose members are
among the conspicuous Republican
sprogressives," are hampered in the
same way. Senator Borah Of Idaho,
for instance, insists on retaining the
duty unchanged on lead and wool,
which are the infant progeny" Of his
state.
