WASHINGTON , March 30. Senator 'Allen ,
populist of Nebraska , made a long speech in
the senate today on the unconstltuttonallty
of tariff taxes beyond thoeo requisite for
revenue. Although it was the first tariff
speech the senate has heard this session , It
did not attract marked attention. Mr. Allen
severely criticised the trusts and combina
tions , which , he declared , reaped the main
advantage of tariff taxes. The senator's re-
mnrlrc wcro in the nature of a legal argu
ment showing the constitutional limitation
of the taxing power of congress. In the
course of his speech he said :
"We have a right to consider the character
and occupation of the men making this clultn
for protective legislation. They nre not the
laborcru themselves these whom It Is said
protection Is lo benefit but they nro the
manufacturers , the bankers , the attorneys
nnd the lobbyists , who appeal to us In the
name of the wage earner. There nro very
few of the laborers and producers who be
lieve wages are raised substantially by n
high tariff , nnd still fewer who desire that
euch a tariff shall bo levied on the articles
of ncccmary consumption of 95 per cent
of the people for their special benefit. It is
true tlicro arc occasionally a few wage
earners , Ignorant of the principles under
lying this , who , In consequence of being
repeatedly told so , believe prosperity Is de
pendent In some measure on a protective
tariff , nnd they are Induced by the crafty and
greedy for whom they labor to Importune
congress to protect the particular branches
of Industry In which they ars engaged. Dut
these men nre few Indeed , nnd they are al
most always Incited to such appeals by those
for whom they labor nnd In the interest of
those who reap In their name the benefit of
high protective legislation. "
In conclusion , the senator said : "I place
myself on the solid Impregnable ground that
under nur constitution congress docs not
possess power to tax the people to enhance
the private fortunes of the few and that the
full mcnnure of the taxing power ia reached
when a tariff for revenue , with Incidental
protection , Is Imposed. Any other construc
tion would lead to confiscation and Incident
ally to enforced repudiation , the two worst
conceivable forms of anarchy and disorder
in a civilized state ; and such a deduction ,
when carried to its legitimate length , would
lead to the subversion of all order , and the
rights of persons and property. We cannot
eerve the people and the money power at
the same time. Their Interests' ' are deadly
antagonistic. What Is for the common wel
fare Is against the trusts and the pools. "
TO ASSIST FLOOD SUFFERERS.
The house amendements to the senate
Joint resolution appropriating $250,000 for
the saving of life and property along the
Mississippi river wcro agreed to and the resolution
elution now goes to the president.
Mr. McDrlde of Oregon presented an
amended certificate from the governor of
Oregon , as to the appointment of Henry W.
Corbett as senator from that state. The
certificate states that the appointment is
until the legislature shall meet , thus curing
the supposed defect in the first credentials ,
which did not fix the limit of service.
Among the petitions was one from the
board of sheep commissioners of Montana ,
urging the most ample protection on wool ,
In accordance with the platform promises ,
and asserting that the policy of protection
would not long prevail without this adequate
protection to the wool growing Interest.
The Cuban question was brought forward
again by Mr. Morgan of Alabama , who pro-
flented n resolution requesting the president
to Inform the senate whether letters had
been received by the present and former
chief executive from General Maximo Gomez ,
commander of the revolutionary forces In
Cuba. The resolution recites at length that
letters are tiald to have been forwarded to
President McKlnley and his predecessor from
Gomez and published In the newspapers to
day. The resolution concludes with a re
quest that the president shall also Inform
the senate whether the Spanish authorities
In Cuba have refused lo allow cipher dis
patches to be transmitted between the
United States consul at Sagua la Grande and
the United Statca consul general at Havana.
At 2 p. in. the senate went Into executive
session and at 4:25 : adjourned.

WASHINGTON , March 30. Judge William

President McKlnley , haa arrived hero and
last night was at the white house In close
consultation. In regard to the conference ,
Secretary Porter Bays lhat nothing has yet
been determined In regard to the Cuban
question and that It might ho several days
yet before a decision was reached. It la
known , liowover , that the president Is con
sidering the advisability of having Judge
Day go to Havana as the legal representative
of the State department In the Investigation
tn bo raado of the alleged murder In prison
of Dr. Hulz. The present proposition Is to
have him go to Havana as the representative
of the- State department at the Hulz Investi

has Intimated that If t'je Insurgents would
accept anything at all short of Independence
Spain would bo ready to meet them 'half '

it Is possible that Judge Day , If it is finally
decided to appoint him , may be entrusted
with the delicate mission of finding out Horn
the Insurgents whether they would bo will

WARM DEBATE ON THE TARIFF
Party Feeling Buns High in the House of
.Representatives.
DEMOCRATS STIR UP THE OPPOSITION
lit IIMVII. mill Cnnnoii of
IllliiiilH ArK o for 11 Duty on
lllilva llfliillN of the
WASHINGTON , March 30. Party feeling
ran high during the last day of the tariff de
bate In the house. Political speeches were
wedged In at every opportunity and there
was constant maneuvering for political ad
vantage. The opposition directed their ef
forts as far ns possible toward stirring up
dissension on the republican side , but they
succeeded In exposing only a slnglo In
stance of revolt today. That wno on the nub-
Ject of free hides. The democrats pressed
the question of a duty on hides for the bene
fit of the farmer with such vigor that Mr.
Hepburn , an Iowa republican , was drawn
Into the debate and made a strong plea for
dutiable hides. He demanded trat the house
be given an opportunity to vote on the ! ques
tion and declared that every western re
publican was In favor of It. Mr. Cannon of
Illinois nUo gave a qualified endorsement to
this demand.
The republican leaders defended their bill
today with vigor. The waja and means com-
mttlco held the floor with their amendments
from 10 in the morning to1 o'clock In the
afternoon. About thirty-five were offered
and adopted. Among them was one admit
ting free of duty "books , scientific apparatus ,
charts , mapy , etc. , " for sclentldc and educa
tional purposes. After that five more pages
of the bill were read , making twenty pagca
In all of the 1C2 pages of the bill. Tomor
row the bill will be open for amendment until
1 o'clock , an attempt to extend the debate
having failed , after which an hour on a side
will be allowed to close. The voting will
begin at 3 o'clock.
The democrats displayed a great deal of
anxiety today to get In an amendment to
strike out the differential on sugar , but they
probably will bo frustrated In this. The only
motion they may bo able to secure a vote on
is one to recommit with Instructions. This
motion hag been prepared tn the shape of a
resolution and Is the Dockery amendment
to suspend the duty on articles whose prices
are controlled by trusts or combinations.
Kven this motion may be held to bo out of
order under the special order.
REPUBLICANS STAND PAT.
There Is come talk of a number of repub
lican votes being cast against the bill , but
after InvestJgatlon It seems probable that
these who may bo dissatisfied with particular
provisions of the bill will line up on the
final vote and there will bo no break in the
republican ranks.
Among the amendments adopted were the
following : Paper , not specifically provided
for , 23 per cent ad valorem ; hats , bonnets ,
etc. , unbleached , 1C per cent ; bleached , 25
per cent : making the duty on brushes uni
form at 40 per cent ; safety fuses , 35 per cent ;
qualifying the duty on crude tarlai' dutiable
at 1 cent per pound , provided that such tar
tar inns' not contain more than 60 pel' cent
of bltartrato of potash ; striking out para
graph 382 fixing duties on oriental , Berlin
and similar rugs ( Mr. Dlngley explained that
the effect of llila amendment was to restore
the duties of the act ot 1890 on carpets ) ; to
change the phraseology of the embroidered
glove schedule to meet a recent decision of
the IJoard of General Appraisers. Another
amendment provided tbvt no gloves larger
than slzo G should bo classified as children's
gloves.
Mr. Cannon , republican of Illinois , pre
faced his remarks with tho. declaration that
ho was for the pending bill. He was not
pleased with all Ita features. He mover 'had
been pleased with any revenue bill. Ho ap
preciated that there ) must bo a spirit of give
and take , nnd ho was frank to say he thought
there could well lie n duty on hides , aa the
impression was deeply grounded In thcl west
that a duty on hides would raise the price
of cattle $1 a head.
Mr. Slaydcn. democrat of Texas , expressed
gratification that the dormant republican
conscience had been awakened In spots. Ho
proceeded to argue that a duty on 'hides
would bo of practical benefit to the cattle
taisers of the plains ot Texas , Kansas and
thu Dakotas.
POPULIST WARNS REPUBLICANS.
Mr. Bell , populist ! of Colorado , warned the
republicans that If they passed this bill , con
taining high duties , without Imposing at
least n revenue duty on hides , distinctly a
product of the farm , they would regret it.
Why should the wool men of a few states be
so generally dealt with and the cattle rals-
era denied anything ?
Mr. Dlngley defended the action of the
committee , saying that when the act of
1880 was being prepared the present occu
pant of the wlilte house made a very exhaus
tive Investigation of the subject and found ,
first , that the great body of .hides produced
In this country were a bi-product from the
slaughter of cattle and that their price was
made hero ; second , that goat and other skins ,
tanned in this country , were mot produced
hero ; and third , that the Mdes Imported , ex
cept in a few Instances , were dry hides , used
In making solo leather , a largo proportion of
which is exported. Wo could tan hides with
our cheap material for the foreign market.
\Vo can change the balance of advantages.
The committee decided against a duty on
hides. Our tanning Industry , he said , was
adjusted to free hides and 'Itwas decided
lhat a duty on hides would not bo an ad-
vantagq to the farmer , and would be a dis
tinct disadvantage to our export trade.
Mr. 'Hepburn ' , republican of Iowa , then
came forward with a vehement speech In
favor f of a duly on hides. Mr. Hepburn de
clared that the wool Interesls dwarfed In
conlrast with the vast cattle Interests of
the country. Iowa was more Interested in
hides than wool. She marketed annually
$3,000,000 worth of hides and not 10 per cent
of that amount of wool. Ho demanded that
the ways and means committee allow the
sense of the house to bo laken on this ques
tion , and affirmed with great posltlveness
that every republican from the west favored
a duty on hides.
" \Vo Insist , " ho shouted , "that the tan
ning and leather Industries of Now York ,
Pennsylvania and New England should not
bo allowed to stifle the demands of the west , "
Democratic applause , )
Mr. Dockery contributed to the controversy
over hides the statement "that you were
notified by a member of the senate , then a
representative on this floor ( Mr. Lodge ) that
if hides were not left on the free list , Massa
chusetts would defeat the bill , "
ASSAULTS THK MAJORITY ,
Mr. Norton , democrat of Ohio , made a
vicious assault on the majority. Instead of
denouncing Mr. Cleveland on every occasion ,
ho said , the other side ought to be down on
their knees at the feet of his "presplrlng
obesity and ponderous ponderosity , " thankIng -
Ing him for the opportunity ho had given
them to again "rob the people. "
An amendment rating steel strings for
musical instruments at 45 per cent , one put
ting bolting cloths for milling purposes at
25 per cent ( free under McKlnley bill ) and
one reducing the duty on cocoa liber and
rattan matting from 8 to 4 cents per square
yard , and on mats of similar material from
to 4 cents , were adopted.
Mr. Perkins , republican of Iowa , made a
humorous upeeck of five minutes , deriding
the democracy and Its panacea for the pee
ple's Ills. Magnesia not medicinal , corbonato
of potash and sheep dip wcro placed on the
free list.
Mr. Henderson of Iowa took occasion at
this point to deny that this bill was framed
In the Interest of the east , Ho pointed out
that the west held a majority on the com
mitted and were entirely competent to care
for the Interests to which they wcro com
mitted.
Mr. Cowherd , democrat of Missouri , de
clared that the tariff on Mexican cattle was
blow at the farmers and the wool schedule
also.
In reply , Mr. Dolllver had read a letter
from Norman Gabbs of Mount Vernon , ilo. ,
president of the Shorthorn association , ask
ing a duty of J10 a head on Mexican rattle in
the name of the cattlemen of that section.
Mr. Smith , democrat of Arizona , talked on
the cattle schedule , asserting that the rates
mounted to 125 per cent ad valorem , to far
as tbay concerned his territory. In re
buttal of Mr. Dolllver' * letter. Mr. Wheeler ,
democrat of Alab.im.v itrnd a letter ( ram
Hon. Nor.man J. Coleman of St. Loulx , the
first secretary of ngrlcnTture , nuking tor an

stock might be brought ID to this county for

Mr. Brucker , derri6critf of Michigan , de
nounced the duty of $2 on. lumber as robbery.

metal or aluminum In leaf was reduced from
8 to 4 cents per package of 100 leaves. The
rate on surface coAted papers printed In

cents per pound. The duty on mica was
Increased from 3 cents per pound and IB per
cent ad valorem to 2 cents per pound on
dimensions of one square Inch or less nnd
2 cents additional for each square Inch with
a maximum of 50 cents per pound. Th'o
completed the committee's amendments. Mr.
Dlngley , In reoly to a question , saM that
nine-tenths of the amendments offered by the
commlllco ' yesterday and today had been sug
gested by members nnd offered after inves
tigation.
Mr. Richardson asked If tlv chairman of
the ways and .means committee would not bo
kind enough to allow ( he minority to "offer
Just one little amendment. "
"I presume It Is to strike out the enacting
clause , " said -Ml' . Dlnglcy.
"No , " replied Mr. Richardson , "It Is to
strike out the differential on sugar. "
" \Vo will consider nny amendment , " ob
served Mr. Dlngley , his response causing n
smlla on tbo democratic side.
Mr. MoMlllIn followed this up with a re-
quoit that the committee now proceed to the
consideration of the sugar schedule. Several
republicans objected.
" \Vo will get to that schedule. " said Mr.
Hopkins , "If you will allow us to proceed. "
"All right , " replied Mr. McMIllln , "wo
will lot thu rending proceed and see how
sincere you are. "
COAL MINERS PROTEST.
The clerk then resumed the reading of the
bill where he stopped on Saturday. XIr.
Lent * , democrat of Ohio , wns the first to
Interrupt the reading of the bill. Ho
presented a number of protests from bitu
minous coal miners against the restoration
of 73 cents a ton on coal. He declared that
the restoration was In the Interests of the
anthracite coal pool of the cast.
Mr. Grosvcnor , republican of Ohio , In re
ply said Mr. Lentz's remarks had demon
strated his Ignorance. He said that no sug
gestion against the restoration of the duty
on coal had como until after the bill had
been reported to the house. The east was
In favor of a loxvcr duty on coal. The In
troduction ot coal on the Atlantic seaboard
did affect the coal market In Ohio and hh
district mined one-third of the eoal of hh
state. He said the committee still had un
der consideration the question of adding .a
proviso having for Its object thj i-esotla-
tlon of 'a ' treatv with Canada for a mutual
reduction of duty on coal. Canada now Im
posed n duty of fiO con's per ton on our coal.
Our duty was now 10 cents.
The committee then rose. An at'cmptas
thcr. made to extend the debate an hour to
morrow , but the republlpans refused to
agree to thlo unless , the ] democrats would
agree to vote on the amendments tomorro.v
In gross. But the democrats declined to
accede to this condltlgn and all negotiations
fell through. i
Mr. Wheeler tried to supurc consent for a
night session , but Mr. Dlngley said It wouid
bo Impossible to obtnjn a , quorum.
At 5:10 : p. m. the h1ouse < adjourned.

WASHINGTON , March 30. Chairman
Dlngley and his colleagues of the ways and
moans committee will attempt to have the
duties imposed by the new tariff bill go Into
effect before the bill bbcomes a law. This
novel and much dlscu sed .policy was
definitely resolved upon at a meeting of the
republican members ofithe _ committee held
tonight. Thu subcommittee , consisting ot
Representatives Grosvenor of Ohio , Tawney
of Minnesota and Dalzell of Pennsylvania ,
which was authorized to report on the prop
osition , presented an amendment which they
had written and their colleagues Instructed
Mr. Grcavenor to offer the amendment to
morrow in the house. There is no doubt that
it will bo adopted by a party vote. The sub
stance of the amendment follows :
That the duties imposed by the bill shall
be enforced and collected on nil goods Im
ported subsequently to April 15 nnd prior
to the passage" of the not. not purchased
or In transit prior to April 1.
It creates a Hen upon the goods thus Im
ported for the amount of the duties Imposed
and also makes the Importer and the person
In whose possesulon the goods may bo found ,
If not a retail merchant or a carrier , liable
for the amount of the duties or for the- ex
cess imposed by the bill above the amounts
juch articles may have paid. It also re
quires customs offlcera to retain samples of
Imported gooda to the end that the evidence
of Identification may bo. preserved. It pro
vides for bringing suits to recover the duties ,
against both Importers and wholesale mer
chants , and givca to circuit courts of the
United States full and complete Jurisdiction
to hear and determine such actions and to
enforce the Judgments.
The members of the subcommittee had In
vestigated the question of the constitution
ality and validity of the proposition person
ally , nnd had secured the opinions ot able
lawyers , among them the attorney genernl
of Ohio. Until they presented to their col
leges the nuthorltles on which they proposed
to sustnln the amendment there was no dis
sent from their views. Letters have poured
In upon Mr. Dlngley and his colleagues thla
week from Importers asking what was pro
posed to bo done In the matter. If Import
ers can place their orders and get goods
through the civstoms house before April 15 ,
the amendment will not affect them , but
they will bo obliged to take their chances In
tmch attempts. While there is much doubt
expressed by members ot congress as to the
validity ot the proposed amendment , and aa
to Its acceptance by the senate , It will doubt
less have the effect of discouraging Importa-
llons while the bill Is pending before the
senate.
The chief precedent on which the com
mittee relies to sustain Its action Is a de
cision of the supreme court growing out of
the Wilson act. That net did not become a
law until August 28 , 1801 , although the bill
stated that the duties therein imposed should
bo levied on and after August 1. It was before -
fore congress nearly a month after the time
fixed for Its beginning , and as the house ac
cepted tbo senate amendments without send
ing the bill to a confeHncD between the wo
houses , the intention of the leaders to change
the date of Its enforcement In a conference
could not bo carried out"Tho ? supreme court
decided , In effect , however. ' as Its opinion Is
Interpreted by the ways rand means com
mittee , that the ratjsitof the act became
operative on the datq , declared by the act ,
although that date was twenty-olght days
before It became law. ' Tn.ero are also de
cisions by state courts In cases Involving
taxation which the committee will quote as
authority. y |

WASHINGTON , March 30. Senator Forn-
kor of Ohio today Introduced a pooling bill
as an amendment to the Interstate com
merce act. It Is practically a reproduction
of tht > Patterton bill , Introduced in the last
congress. If Is Intended to moot the objec
tions to pooling which wcro raised by the
supreme court of the United States In Its
decision recently rendered In the Transmli-
Eotirl Freight association case. The docu
ment Is quite voluminous , covering over
thirty printed pagos. The first section
amends the interstate commerce act so ns to
lender it lawful ( or railroad associations to
enter Into pools under the following condi
tional :
Every contract , agreement or arrange
ment shall bo In writing mid tiled with ix
commission created by this act , nnd shall
become lawful and forcible between tbu
raitlen thereto at the expiration of
twenty days from the filing thereof unless
the commission shall In the meantime , ami
upon such Investigation and consideration
as It may deem proper , make an order dis
approving of the same , nnd It shall bo the
duty of thu commission to maku such
order of disapproval whenever upon such
Investigation and consideration It shall bo
of the opinion that the operation of any
such contract by renson of its provisions or
for want of necessary restrictions and lim
itations would result In unreasonable
lates , unjust discrimination , Insulllclent
service to the public or otherwise contra
vene any of the provisions of this act.
It Is also made the duty of the commis
sion to observe the workings of such con
tracts or agreements as affect the trans
portation business of the country nnd to
Investigate all complaints relating to rates
or facilities afforded by pooling associations ,
nnd whenever the commission , after duo no-
tlco. shall nnd that any such rates , facilities
or the practices are excessive or unreasona
ble , or any unjust discrimination Is made
between Individuals , localities or articles of
trafllc. or nre otherwise In contravention
of any of the provisions of this act , the
commission shall Issue an order requiring
such ratea , charges , etc. , maintained by or
under such contract to be changed , modified
or corrected.
The authority of the commission goes to
the extent of allowing it to disapprove of
the contract Itself and requiring it to be
terminated at any time , which time. It la
provided , shall bo not less than thirty days.
The effect or this order , It is specifically
stated , would render the contract unlawful
nnd nonenforc'eable , but It Is provided that
the orders and findings of the commission In
such cases shall be subject to review by the
United Statca circuit courts upon petition.
The bill further provides that In such
cases the courts shall act speedily In de
termining questions of this character , nnd
thnt It shall make such order or dpcrco aa
may be Just nnd eqtittablo In determining
whether the contract shall bo enforceable ,
notwithstanding the disapproval by the com
mission. A further appeal la allowed by any of
the parties to the supreme court of the
United States.
\VKSTI2UX PASSI3XOI3II MI3X MEET.
Confer with ItcKitril lo Future of
AVeftttTii AMHOclntloii.
CHICAGO , March 30. The passenger rep
resentatives of the western roads met today
at the offlco of the Western Passenger as
sociation for the purpose of considering the
future of that organization. The meeting
lasted the greater part of the day and at
Its close It was decided to recommend to
the executive officers ivho will meet tomor
row that the Western Passenger association
bo continued In existence , but that It shall
hereafter have nothing to do wilJi rates or
the maintenance of rates. It was recom
mended that It be a bureau of Information
and statistics only , but that the bureaus
which have the handling of the clergy tick
ets nnd of the mllcago transportation shall
bo continued In force. These bureaus liave
nothing whatever to do with rates and it
is not thought that they come under the
scope of the supreme court decision.
Chairman Caldwell will remain at the
head of the organization and will have con
trol of all the- subsidiary bureaus as well.
In addition to remaining at the head of the
organization , It is expected that Mr. Cald
well will be given control of all the work
entailed In procuring from congress now
leglslntlon concerning passenger matters.
The services of nearly all of the clerks In
the association will bo retained , as there
will bo plenty of work for them In looking
after the mllcago and clergy business. The
only thing that has been taken from the
work of the association , in fact , la that con
cerning rates. All these matters will betaken
taken up by the executive officers tomorrow
and there Is not much doubt that they will
bo adopted. The roads have agreed that
for the time being they will do their utmost
to avoid any demoralization of rates.
The western roads have como to the con
clusion that they will bo compelled to aban
don their emigrant clearing house In New
York. This was run on a pooling arrange
ment pure and simple and the supreme court
decision docs not leave It a leg to stand
upon.
It has been agreed that the Chicago Rail
way association will continue In effect. This
organization has for Its object the Issue of
Joint rate sheets. . It was feared for a time
that it would bo compelled to go out of ex
istence with the other organizations , but the
railway lawyers have determined that thnro
is nothing In the supreme court decision
that prohibits the issue of joint rate sheets
and thu association will go on doing bus
iness as heretofore.

alternative of being fired upon within five

\\Vnllliy Man ( 'oniiiiK.M Suicide.
SYRACUSE. N. Y. , March 30. A special
to the Herald from Geneva says that Charles
A. Houghton. principal owner of the Corning
Glass company , nnd reported to be worth
$500,000 , shot nnd killed himself at that
place "today.
When Mr. Houghton failed to return to his
homo last night his family became anxious.
Early In the morning searching parties were
organized and after several hours he was
found dead In the band house ot the Corning
Glass works , of which concern ho was vice
president. A revolver with two empty
chambers was found beside him and It was
evident that 1 had committed suicide. Five
years ago his brother , Frederick Houghton ,
of the Buffalo Scale works , killed himself at
Corning. The only reason assigned for the
suicide Is that Mr. Houghton's mind had be
come unbalanced owing to a severe Illness
ho had recently underwent. Charles F.
Hougbton was an assemblyman from Sleuben
county In 1S73 and was always regarded as
ono of Coming's most prominent citizens.

and Cattl ? company. The plaintiff leased
certain land from the Cherokee nation for
grazing purposes , and sublet It to the de
fendant. After President Harrison , by procla-
tlon , opened the land for settlement ami
ordered the cattle removed , the defendant
refused to pay. The opinion holds that since
the Cherokee nation held patents for the
land It had a right to sublet the land and
the defendant Is bound by contract and must
pay the rental.

Owing to carclcfsnesi nnd Inattention to
duty on the part of Chief of Detectives Cox ,
Charles Campbell , charged with suborna
tion of perjury In the trial of some of the
members of the Davis gang of burglars and
who had been In Jail for five days without
being served with a warrant , was discharged
from custody yesterday morning by Pollen
Judge Gordon.
l'"or the same reason Prank Spencer and
Frank Kepltn , who are accused of perjury
In the same cases , but who have been at
liberty on bonds , wore told by Police Judge
Gordon to return to their homes and In
formed that they need not appear again In
police court to answer to the felonious charge
against them until sent for. No action wait
taken In the case of Mart Stelnberger , the
fourth man of the party , and who U charged
with taking a part In the giving of tha
perjury testimony < n tbo trial and who was
accused of subornation of perjury. Thin
was due to the fact that Stclnbergc r has not
yet been appiehended and Is therefore at
present out of the Jurisdiction of th ? pollco
Judge.
The matter came up In pollco court yro-
Icnlay on motion of the attorney for Campbell - !
bell , who was unable to give bonds for his '
appearance after his arrest. The ntlorney
demanded that his client be at least ar
raigned. He stated that Campbell was in
the criminal court room of Douglas county
under a subpoena on last Friday. He was
arrested without n warrant by Cox. He re
sisted because there was no legal procctu
Issued for his arrest. Thereupon Cox forci
bly took him Into custody , removed him to
Jail and kept him there since that time with
out swearing out a complaint against him
or serving him with a warrant for arrest.
Judge Gordon ordered the prisoner brought
up before him. Then he discharged him. Ilo
stated as the reasons for his action that the
man had been kept In confinement without
warrant for so doing longer than the statutes
permitted. Ho refused to retain him longer
on the grounds Unit by doing so ho would
make himself liable.
The attorney for Spencer and Kepi In made
a strenuous effort to secure tbo release of
his clients. Judge Gordon would not dis
charge them because they have their liberty
under bonds. He did , however , tell them
to go and informed them that they would
not have to appear again In police court un
til they wcro sent for.
CRITICISE TUG CHIEF SLEUTH , i
Pollco Judge Gordon stated after the pro
cedure that the neglect on the part of the
chief of detectives was highly blameworthy.
Captain King of the day shift of the depart
ment blamed the official for his negligence ,
Inasmuch aa the complaints were all icady
for his signature. Chief of Pollco SIgwart
admitted that Cox should certainly have
sworn to the complaints by this time.
Spencer and Keplln were witnesses In the
trial of Johnson nnd Hoag , two members ot
the Davis gong , on the charge of burglary.
They swore thnt they had sen the defend
ants In a pool room lu the north end ot
the city on the night and at the time the
burglary was committed. After giving thlrf
testimony they wore forcibly arrested In the
court by Cox , who stated that he had pioof
that the testimony was falsa. lie also ar
rested Campbell for subornation of perjury
juryAll the men were witnesses In the
case.
It U said that it was largely on the testi
mony of Spencer and Koplln that Iloag and
Johnson were convicted by a Jury of potty
larceny Instead of burglary. The cnao was a
strange one In other respscta.
