REFUSES TO INSTRUCT
JUSTICE GOULD DENIES RE.
QUEST OF JOSEPH GATINS.
Had Asked Court to Inform Grand
Jury as to the Law Of
Conspiracy.

Declaring his disinclination to establish
in this Jurisdiction a practice Of instruct
ing grand Juries, Justice Gould, in Crimi-
nal Court No. ], today denied the re-
quest Of Joseph Gatins Of New York, who
was indicted April 2 in connection Will,
the bucket shop crusade Of the Depart
ment Of Justice.
In the Indictment he was improperly
named az Gaskins, and he filed plea
in abatement
Recently learning of an attempt to
obtain d corrective indictment, Gatins,
through Attorney Henry e. Davis, asked
the court to call the grand jury before
II and instruct the members as to the
law OF conspiracy. He commended that
the grand jury, If properly instructed
and advised by the court, would re-
turn no indictment.
D. 4. Robbins opposed the motion. He
contended that the duty Of instructfng
the grand jury belonged with the prose-
cutting attorney and that the court could
not presume that that official would fail
in this duty Or Intentionally mislead the
jury.
Justice Gould, in sustaining the latter
argument, said 1t was common knowl-
edge that jurors are easily Influenced by
what the court may say to them when
instructions are given in an individual
case. He said that the freedom of con-
sidera tipn would be seriously ieopa rdized
were such an instruction given.

sorbed by His Office,

The department OF street extensions
has been done away with as separate
department. The work under it's juris-
oiction was today turned over to Mel
vim c. Hazen, the Districts surveyor
This change follows the resignation-of
W. J. Douglass as engineer of bridges.
+. G. j. Bailey, head Of the street ex-
tensions. becomes engineer Of bridges.
j. w. Dare will do the work that has
been done by Mr.. Bailey, without being
at the head of a separate department.
The change was suggested by Capt
Markham. 1t Is believed that much OF
the duplication that has been necessary
in the past between the surveyor and
the street extension office will be elm
mated. .
In addition to the personal changes
already mentioned, the following have
been promoted by reason OF the adop-
ton of Capt. Markham's recommends
ton and the appointment of Mr.. Bailey
as bridge engineer: j. w. Dare. w. r.

MISSOURI LAW IS VO|DED
NO RIGHT TO BAR FEDERAL
LITIGATION.
Denial of Rights of Corporations to
Sue in United States Courts
Unconstitutional.

The statute Of Missouri, passed March
Is. 1907, prohibiting foreign corporations
from doing business within the state, if
they seek TO have any Of its litigation in
the United States courts. was today de-
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
In striking down the statute the court
upheld the opinion of Judge Smith Nc
Pherson of the circuit court OF the United
States for the western district of Mis-
souri,.
Critics Are Answered.
The opinion replies forcibly to the
critics Of the federal courts for Inter
fering with state affairs
The validity OF the law was brought
before the courts for decision when the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail-
way Company asked for an injunction to
prevent the secretary of state Of Mis-
souri, from revoking its license to do
business in the state because Of alleged
violation of the statute of March 13.
Opinion Of Circuit Court.
The circuit court held the act of March
II was unconstitutional, because It dis
eliminated against foreign corporations
by allowing resident companies to sue
in federal courts where federal ques-
tons might be involved; because 1t de-
MED to foreign corporations rights grant
ed them under the federal Constitution,
and because it impaired the contract
agreement of 1870, whereby foreign cor
porations were promised the same pro-
lection of law by the state as local cor
porations.

FASHION INDICATED.
LANE de Pougy's Large New Hat
Causes Lawsuit for Assault.

Paris Cor London Telegraph.
st. GERMAN, one of the most peaceful
places in Europe, entirely inhabited by
retired functionaries and the tradespeo-
pie who cater for them. woke up in a
ferment this morning. Nine. Lame de
Pougy was due to appear in the court Of
the justice Of the peace with a prince
from the Balkan peninsula, and to bring
with her, either on her head or carried
by four stalwart porters, the corpus de-
licti alleged, viz. a hat which she wore
on Easter Sunday last.
On that day she walked on the terrace
in st. German, with the prince by her
side and the hat on her head. Two of the
their wives, passed by. st. German is
about a dozen miles from Paris, but
Paris fashions travel thither much more
slowly than they do to New York. The
ladies' looked at Nine. de Pougy's hat,
and looked again. They had never seen
anything like it before, and they said so.
They even passed loud remarks about the
hat, and the tone of their observations
seemed, to Nine. de Pougy, at least, de-
risive.
Her escort, however, could not let the
matter pass unnoticed, and spoke to the
ladies' husbands. What followed is a
subject for controversy. The two func-
tionaries say that the prince referred
Slightingly to their wives appearance,
to their wives hats in particular, and to
the level of taste and breeding reached
by the Inhabitants. The prince says that
ne merely expOstulated, and that the two
functionaries fell upon him. What is GER
tain is that there was a battle, the func-
tionaries apparently fighting with TIM
brellas as weapons, and the prince with
q number OF parcels which he was carry
ing for Nine. de Pougy. Luckily, the
three ladies did not join in the fray arm
ed with hatpins.
The upshot was that the prince lodged
a complaint. which was down for hearing
today. All the leading retired function
aries and their wives, in the newest bon
nets. made by ST. Germain milliners.
were i'm court awaiting the arrivals. The
lady had already declared publicly that
the fuss about her hat was absurd, and
argued provinciality In the ladies Of st.
German 1t could not by any stretch
Of imagination be called a cartwheel: it
was really about the size Of a small
waste-paper basket, and also. judging by
the pictures, Of that shape. But St. Ger
main waited in vain. The prince turned
up but no Nine. de Pougy. On her be-
half a Doctors certificate was produced,
proving her to be laid up, whether or
not owing to emotion was not said, and
st. German will have to wait at least
fortnight before seeing the lady with her
hat in court.
