WEEKLY SHORT STORY
THE NORTH FORK CONTRACT.
BY Andrew Brashears.

Four o'clock usually found the office
of the board of awards deserted, but
this afternoon the open door of the
board room showed some member to
be burning the midnight Oil" In
his office adjoining the room Bob Car
mon stared blankly at the papers on
his desk. His stenographer fingered
her notebook impatiently. Cannon
turned to her. "You may go. Miss
Reese" he said shortly; 81 will die
tate these letters in the morning"
The girl quietly left the room, and
with her departure Cannon reached
for his hat. He closed his big roll
top noisily, but halfway to the door
he stopped. Hat in hand, he walked
to the window. The last feeble rays
Of the setting sun stole across the
snow-covered hOusetops, Illuminating
the room, but the beauties Of nature
did not appeal 10 him. He stepped
away from the window and walked
mechanically toward the door.
1t had been an iron bound regula-
ton with Cannon to leave business
problems to the Office hours, but in
this instance the rule was set aside,
for, although the crisp, cold air of
the January evening served to freshen
his brain, ii was only to tackle the
puzzling situation with renewed vigor

already mapped on. for himself a

be bound by any opinion Of the court
saying that the jurors were The sole
judges OF all questions Of fact.
Judge Pritchard'S opinion follows:
while IL is true that the learned
Judge stated TO the jury that they
were not bound by any opinion he
had expressed" the paper prepared
by Judge Pritchard states. yet We
cannoS escape tn. conclusion thet ha!
IL not been for the fact that the Judge
gave II as his opinion that the de-
PENDANTS were guilty the jury would
not have agreed, and there would
have been a mistrial. Once a Jury
has retired, as in this instance, and
upon consideration of the facts are
unable to agree as TO their verd ict
the slightest expression from the pre-
Siding judge as to the guilt or snno-
csnce OF the defendant INST neces-
sarily have a controlling influence
upon the minds of the jury, and this.
In orr judgment, is precisely what oc-
CURED in this case.
1T should be borne in mind that the
judges OF the various State courts in
this circuit are not permitted to ex-
press an opinion as to the weight of
testimony, nor are they permitted 70
express an opinion as to the guilt OF
a defendant. Our people have become
accustomed to this system, and Jurors
always attach great importance to any
expression coming from the presiding
judge, feeling, as they do, that il is
only in exceptional cases that he ex-
pressed an opinion as to any matter
that may be submitted to them, and
when he does they feel that they are
bound by the same. Under these cir
cumstances, an expression Of opinion
from Federal judge in this circuit
necessarily carries more weight than
would the opinion of q Federal Judge
in a circuit where a different rule pre-
walls in the State courts. While the
learned judge who heard this case be-
low employed language that clearly
informed the jury that they were not
bound by amy expression that he may
have made, nevertheless the circum-
stances surrounding the trial Of this
case were such as to impel us to the
enced in large measure by the Opin-
ion Of the court 1t may be that in
many instances jurors refuse to find
defendants guilty, Notwithstanding the
fact that the evidence is such as to
justify them in doing so, and thus per-
init those who are guilty to escape
punishment.
while this is to be deplored, yet
the rule which leaves all questions of
fact to be passed upon by the jury
should never be relaxed or modified. II
the rights and liberties of the citizen
are to be preserved.
while the trial Judge may express
an opinion as to the weight of evil
dence in civil cases, and as to the guilt
of a prisoner in criminal cases, yet
the greatest caution should be used
in the exercise of this power. and the
jury should be left free and untram-
meled in the determination of ques-
tons Of fact which are to be passed
upon by them, and in no instance
should the trial judge express an opin-
ion as to the guilt Of the defendant
after the case has been submitted to
the jury and at time when they have
failed to agree as to their verdict"

fathers wealth and influence, he had
every chance to fulfil his ambition
Face to face with the most annoying
problem with which he had yet dealt,
he was worried-more so than he
would have cared to admit.
A mile above the city Of Willmar
the North Fork River was to be dam

the city, and over the awarding of
the contract for the building OF the
dam the board Of awards had wran-

members, stood out for Murphy; Muir

years, and had lined the pockets OF

clared his preference, and on his vote
the contract, involving over a million,
hinged.
At home he was glum. Not a word
would he speak above the ordinary
conversation at dinner, and only when
Carmen, ST., had drawn him into the
library after the meal and questioned
him repeatedly would he touch upon
the subject. Bob" said his father
Il can't see why you want to be stub
born about this. With the order fol
supplies for the North Fork Dam from
Murphy & Co., the policy Of retrench-
ment in the Cannon Building Com
pany might cease, and goodness knows
we are sailing close to the wind"
Cannon turned, visibly agitated.

terrupted him.
You know what Murphy has done
and can do" he said significantly.
and you know how bad the Cannon
family fortune needs a boost" He
touched his sons shoulder. Think
it over, my boy" he said, think it
over. There is lots of time between
now and Monday"
Bob went Immediately to his room.
but restless night, with an occa-
sional cat-nap, was all that he could
claim. Saturday morning found him
at is desk an hour in advance OF his
usual time. He had an appointment
with Murphy at 10 and the contractor

STEEL TRUST MADE
PRICES UNIFORM

WASHINGTON, d. c. Special
James Gayley, former vice president Of
the United States Steel Corporation.
took the stand for the fourth time
before the Stanley committee in
vestigating the steel trust and men,
bers of the committee Immediately ro-
sumed their session.
Since 1900 the price of rails has
been SIS a ton" said Mr.. Gayley ia
reply to que ons.
How is ., asked Mr.. Bartlett.
that in 1897 and 1898 rails sold for
ST. to SIS ton and that in 1899 the
price jumped to $2ST"
Mr.. Gayley said the lower prices
were the result of fierce competition.
The prices have been uniform since
the steel corporation came into ex-
istence." said Gayley. ''The price is
maintained because it is regarded as
a reasonable price"
Mr.. Gayley could throw no light on
the exports of steel rails, saying that
it was not in his department OF the
business.
This price of s2S is Z. o. b. mill,
no matter where the mill is ?" asked
Chairman Stanley.
That is right" replied the witness.
Referring TO one OF Charles Nj
Schwab's statements. Chairman Stan
ley asked the witness if rails could be
manufactured in 1899 for $12 a ton.
They could not" said Gayley. i
asked Mr.. Schwab about that and he
merely smiled. They cannot be made
at that price now at any mill"
AT that time they could not have
been made at $12 unless the barest
wages were paid. unless ore and mines
were handled at the cheapest and un-
less no account was taken OF depre-
cation"
Steel Men and Roads Agree.
CaNlQX- admitted no
for rails was made by "a mutual
agreement between the steel men and
railroads to the effect that the price
was fair"
stanley questioned Gayley regarding
the policy" Of the old Carnegie Com
pany, which believed Gin the associa-
ton of individuals with superior
knowledge and with high personnel TO
manufacture steel as cheaply as pos
sible."
Don't you think that this is still the
best policy tOday?" asked Chairman
Stanley.
Il think that is the policy pursued
bv the steel men generally" said the
witness, declining to admit that there
had been any great change in meth
DDS since the retirement OF Carnegie.
Companies Paid Penalty.
"How do you know that the
steel men used 10 enter pools for
controlling the output and the
prices prior To the formation or
the United States Steel CORPORA
uOn?" asked Chairman Stanley.
rec calling the witness testimony OF
yesterday.
1T has been so long that I do
not remember. but j think that
Mr.. 81 hwab and ether steel mcn
told me-" said GayIey.
What was the nature of these
pOOlS?'
These pools were agreements
that each mill would provide
certain percentage OF the bust
ness: in other words. that no mill
should be allowed more than its
propOrtiOnate percentage of out
put. was the reply. There were
penalties attached for those who
violated the terms of the pool
and who increased their supply"
ITO whom were the penalties
paid?" asked Representative Dam
forth.
To those I'm the pool. who
lived up to the agreement" was
the answer of Mr.. GayIcy.
