If
the salary claim on the ground that no
appropriation for the services was made
by tho legislature. The decision In the
lower court was adverse to tho state,
Deputy Attorney (lencral Drown sums up
tho argument as follows;
"Out contention Is that tho court erred
In overruling the demurrer, for the reason
that tho state auditor Is without authority
to Issue his warrants for the clerk's salary
tn tho absence of a specific appropriation
therefor by the legislature. We do not
question the wisdom of the rule of this court
heretofore announced, that an appropriation
by the leglslaturo Is not necessary to pay
salaries of ofllcers created by tho constitu
tion, provided the salary Is fixed and de
termined by the constitution. It must be
conceded that an appropriation by the leg
islature or constitution is sufficient to au
thorize the Issuance of a warrant, but we
contend there Is no appropriation by the
constitution for the payment of tho salary
of the clerk of the court."

Insufficiency of evidence and error In tho
Irstructlon that the Jury might consider
the relationship of any witness to the de
fendant are the reasons assigned In n plea
for the reversal of the judgment given In
Cherry county, by which (Icorge Van Huron
was convicted of stealing cattle and sen
tenced to four years In the penitentiary. A
motion for a ne,w trial was denied In the
district court and the case has been ap
pealed to the supremo court. The man w.is
convicted largely through tho identification
of brand. In the brief of the state, filed In
tho supreme court today, it Is argued that
the rulo is elementary that any fact or cir
cumstance tending to show Interest of any
witness In either the subject matter or In
the parties to an action may be proved, and
that once shown, cf rtalnly the Jury may con
sldcr It In weighing the testimony of tho
witness. The relationship of one or two
witnesses to the defendant In this case
was established without objection.

Charles M. Schwab declared tbnt ho was
opposed to labor unions as thoy wero now
constituted and said that they must fall
as tho trusts had fnlled for seeking to
limit tho output and control prices. Itc
said:

Senator Hnnua expressed strong approval
of tho principle of organized labor, and his
speech drew apologies from John Phillips
and Juhn J. Donnelly, two of tho labor
delegates present, who confessed tbnt thoy
had held erroneous and unjust views ns to
the attitude of tho senator toward organized
labor.

Senator Hnnna related an experience he
hnd with coal miners In Ohio many yearn

him an advocate of unionism.
"I saw then," ho snld "and I bcllevo now
that labor and capital could be brought to

for their peace and I am willing to give tho
best that Is in mo to bring labor and cap
ital together. A settlement of tho
question will do moro for good government,
good morals, good social relations than any
thing that wo could accomplish. To tho end
of all this I freely glvo whatever service I
can render to this association."
Illshop Potter nsaortcd that tho restora
tion of human Interest to the relation of
labor and capital, tho establishment of
contract between tho two, bringing them so
close that they might see each other's po-
ition would go far toward settling tho dif
ference between thom. Ho said that ideas
and practical work were needed to bring
tho result which both desired.
Archbishop Ireland said thnt nil Europe
looked to the United States to beul tho
breach between tho two great interests.
As a minister of religion, ns n member of a
church whoso pontiff hnd declared that tho
most Important duty of the church was to
maintain pinco between labor and capital,
ho was present to do his duty In a move
ment thnt made for peaco and harmony and
brotherhood among men.
Ho believed, he said, that tho realization
of what Amcrlcutis owed to each other as
men and children of God was needed to
bring thoso opposed together. Ho approved
tho idea of creating somo channol for an ex
change of Ideas and the mutual flow of tho
feeling of brotherhood.
John Phillips nnd John J. Donnelly, the
latter of the New ork Bricklayers' union,

LONDON, Dec. It!. A cnblo dispatch has
been received hero from St. Johns, Jf. F.,
announcing that Slgnor Marconi will sail
for England December 19.
At the hcndqunrtcrH hero cf tho inventor
of wireless telegraphy It was said today by
tho odlclals In charge that the experiments
at St. Johns, so far as they know, nre nil
over Thoy do not expect to hear nuy fur
ther details until Slgnor Marconi arrives
In London. It wnn said that storms on both
sides of tho Atlantic hnd seriously Inter
fered with tho work, which tho officials as
sert, would havo been much moro satisfac
tory under normal weather conditions, tho
Poldhu, Cornwall station having been seri
ously dnmaged by high winds.
Tho Glllclnls at Ptldhu refuse to confirm
cr deny tho truth of tho reports from St.
Johns that messages had been received
thero from Cornwall by Tireless telegraphy.
They profess complete ignorance of tho
uuccess or fnlluro of tho experiments.
Owing to fog nnd rain Marconi wns unnble
to swing his kites In mld-nlr today. Ilo
therefore went to Capo Spear to determine
on tho IHnesn of that station for tho wire
less telegraph station. Marconi will In
augurate tho New Yenr by sending n special
message over tho Atlantle if tho steamer
on which ho Is to sail rom New York
reaches England In time. Ho will go direct
to Cornwall nnd tako chargo of matters
there.
Hy mid-summer Marconi will have a fully
equipped btatlon hero for sending nnd re
ceiving messages between America nnd
England nnd nnother station on tho Mas
sachusetts coast.
