OIJECTS TO LANGUAGE OF COUNSfl Vawyer Refer to Apllfi Jary CoaalHlor and Jade Sees lasalt 4a Co art la Remarks. AVANNAH. Oa., Jan. lt-The pleas !n ' abatement to Indictment number 476 and 477, against Greene and Oajrnor, were read thla morning soon after the convening of , the federal court. The plead set up that these bills of Indictments had not been legally returned in that the grand Jurors were drawn from among residents of the southwestern division of the Southern dls- -trlct of Georgia, whereas they served in ! the eastern division, wherein they re turned the Indictments against the defend- ; ants, and that the court had no right to appoint the two special commissioners to ' prepare the special grand Jury list that had bean prepared upon the order of the court. The defendants say that the grand juror were therefor Illegally drawn and had no right to return Indictments. Special Attorney Marlon Erwln read the government's demurrer to these pleas. He responded that the grand Jury had not been Illegally drawn because what I now the southwestern district at ' the time of the offenses were committed was embraced In tha eastern division and that the Jury bos was properly prepared. When Mr. Erwln concluded hi argument A. A. Lawrence of counsel for the accused, arose to read a written reply. Then came a sensation. Judge Speer caught language In the argument that he construed as con tempt and promptly fined Mr. Lawrence 1100. Atteraey la Flaed. Tha language of Mr. Lawrence to which tha court took exception was aa follows: One circumstance alone In the case serves to Illustrate more powerfully than I can hope to do by words the possibilities for wrong ami injustice opertea up oy mis ex traordinary Innovation into what we con ceive to be the law of procedure. It Is a curious coincidence that at the case at bar the court, unwittingly, of course, appointed as a Jury commissioner a gentleman who was at that time and still iss an open, Subllo and notoriously avowed enemy of tha efendant'S counsel. Whether or not this ha been to his pre judice In this particular case we are not prepared to say. Judge Speer awaited Mr. Lawrence' con clusion of the passage and said: "Mr. Lawrence, your remark are exceed ingly Improper and out of order. The court has no knowledge that ha appointed aa a Jury commissioner a gentleman who was at that time and still 1 an avowed enemy of one of defendant' counsel. Enter a fine of $100 against Mr. Lawrence for contempt of court. Mr. Lawrence calmly concluded hi argu ment After the imposition of the fine, mak ing .no apology for the language employed. .Judge Speer then announced a recess to consider the matter pending.

To the Editor of The Bee: The most Important national question before the American people is the method by which the members of the United States senate are elected. During the last decade, by reaeon of events, this question has been forced to the fore, and a popular clamor has arisen In every state of the union demanding an amendment to our national constitution whereby the members of the senate shall be elected directly by the people of the states and be Immediately responsible to their constituency. Whether or not this universal demand I one founded upon aound reasoning and national expediency we will consider. The United States constitution provides, In substance, that the legislative depart ment of our government shall be composed of two branches the house of representa tive, which shall be chosen directly by the people every two year, and the senate, hlch hall be chosen by the legislature of the several states. Each state Is al lowed two senators. Irrespective of popula tion or Blxe. To the legislature of the atates Is clven the power to regulate the time, 'place and manner of holding their election of senators, while to congress is reserved the power to modify these regula tions, except aa to the place of choosing senator. It appears from the deliberations of the fathers, who formed the great document of human rights called the United States constitution, that the real purpose and rea son underlying the above provision was a follow Each of original state was jealous of It power and sovereignty. The small states feared that if representation in con gress was to be determined by population. their power and Importance would be lost and the small state would have but littls or no Influence In legislation affecting the union. The larger , States, were, unwilling to go into a union unless the representation In congress should be determined by popula tion. The large state argued that their interests were larger and more diversified, and that If each state was to be permitted equal representation in congress,- irrespect ive of else and population, then the larger state would lose their prestige and influ ence and gain nothing by virtue of the union. Thus,' by reason of these Jealousies and diversified Interests, the fathers were con fronted with a serious and delicate prob lem. A legislative system must be estab lished which would satisfy the large state and protect th smaller state. Therefore, the system whereby the house of representatives. In which all measures for public revenue must originate, should be elected according to the population of the several states, thus protecting the large state from unjust and unfair taxa tion, and also to maintain their Influence and prestige. And the senate, which should be equal In representation to the Various states, and thereby protect and maintain the smaller states as against unjust and unfair treatment by th larger atates. ' By this plan, what seemed to be an al most unsurmountabl difficulty, was avoided and the union was saved. The senate was to represent the state a separate entitle and the house of rep resentatives the people, The next problem to be solved, and the one which we are considering, was: How should the senate be chosen? This was to be a body which on account of It balanc Ing power between the states ahould be composed of the best and most learned men of the nation. It should be composed of men who were Intensely patriotic for the union, and who should be broad enough to legislate for the common good of the nation. It should be a body which would not be controlled by passion or Influenced by special Interests. It was to be the trustee of a union, conceived through op- pressslon. born in revolution, and estab lished and maintained by blood and untold sacrifice. No greater or more sacred trust could a body of men assume. It was argued by members of the conven tion that by placing the responsibility of choosing thee trustees with the legislatures of the various states that the best and most patriotic men would be selected. That each state through its legislature would select men of high character, learning and known probity to All this most responsible position. It was argued that the legislature would appreciate Its responsibility and be more apt to choose wisely than the people. The legislature was presumed to work to the common welfare' and not special and mer oenary ends. The trust seemed to be so sxcred that th fathers could not conceive of a legislature so base as to violate It The establishment of this mode of selec tion proved the wisdom of the convention for a century of time. The legislature of the various state meet full well their re sponsibility, and whatever fallings they may have had in other direction they al most universally sent to the United States senate the best and most high-minded of men. From the different commonwealths there came to the senate the greatest men ot the period.' Men who knew their trust and who appreciated the honor; men- to whom money had no luster; men who loved their country and its people and who be - lleved In Its future. They were patriots whom money could not buy; they legislated for the common good and not special Inter ests. Their Interpretation of the constitu tion and the manner in which they meet the Important Issues cf the day, with brain and foresight represent the brightest page In the history of our country. The plan bad worked out admirably. The country was progressive and satisfied. Un der the conditions then existing the senate met the expectation of th constitutional framers. In th course of event the nation under went a great commercial revolution. Capi tal sought capital and great Industrial en- terprUea sprung ui Combinations and I trust were formed. Men became multi millionaire and are seeking more millions. Tha old standard of square dealing has be come submerged and forgotten In the mad pursuit of wealth. So large have become these commercial enterprises and o greedy have become their owner and manager that nothing Is too large for them to un dertake, nothing too sacred to be beyond their lothesome touch. If, perchance, they can reap a harvest In gold. Patriotism Is nothing to them. The common people are anarchist and the poor have no right to ask for bread. Pair legislation by con gress is inimical to their Interests. They must have special fnvore and privilege or they cannot gain their unjustifiable am bitions. The house of representatives, being responsible to the people direct and therefor close to their common Interests, cannot be easily reached by these human vampires. Thus they seek that honored body, the senate, and there perform their soulless work. I These special interest or commercial f dragons, with their wealth, Invade the ' legislatures of the state, and through the I use of their Ill-gotten gain and the com- tniacinn nt tha rrm. tthampful prime do- 1 , mission or the most shameful crime, ae- , bauch the members and succeed in having Iholr .orvunt nr as-pnt (often called a '. areat corporation lawyer) elected to the I honorable position of a United States sen ator. If perchance these special Interest are unable to control the election of a senator, they are often able to defeat the election of any( candidate. Thua the state 1 de prived of It constitutional representation in, the senate. By this power they often compel a compromise and by the aid of their unlimited power foist onto the state unworthy men. The state of Nebraska ha suffered aa much as any state In the union by such practice. It Is needles to specify the sena tor. It la safe to say that Nebraska has produced few members of the upper house In the last few years worthy of th name of senator. Nebraska ha the men, but the commercial Interests do not want men. They want agents. By reason of this un fortunate condition the senate of the United State la today nothing more or less than the hired man of the' commercial power. Thus the injury to the people Is twofold. The laws enacted by congress will not afford protection to the masses. The senate must not disobey its master. No law can be enacted which will afford any permanent relief to the people If such law Is obnoxious to the ambition of the special interest. It may be true that the senate may be com pelled by popular acclaln, as It Is today, to exact some remedial legislation. But de pend upon It, such relief will be only tem porary. The senate under present organisa tion will not destroy its creator. The Po litical Boss may retire for the moment, but he will rise again when the public wrath subsides. The present system and the com mercial lust create and maintain him. One cannot live without the other. If, perchance, a good law Is enacted, the senate, through Its constitutional rights, selects Incompetent and unfit public officers to enforce the law. Therefore If a law be enacted which may afford relief to the peo ple, the special Interest through hi crea ture, the Incompetent official, will prevent It enforcement. The people of Nebraska need no special reference to prove this statement So it matters little whether the law be enacted or not, the result is tha same. The created will not often defy the creator. It must be concluded that If the" foregoing Is true, that there 1 something radically wrong with our system of electing United States senator. We readily see that every reason advanced by the constitutional fathers for the creation of a senate la now being thwarted. That Instead of the sen ate being a protector and balancing power of the nation, it really has become a menace to our welfare. The trusteeship ha been forgotten. The senators are act ing for other Interests than the public wel fare. They act for the people who create them. The right of equal representation to each state ha been denied and one funda mental principle of the constitution has been recklessly disregarded. The remedy Is not in doing away with the senate. Thu senate Is of use to the country. It must. however, return to the purpose for which It was created. The election of senators must be taken away from the legislatures of the states. The senate must be made directly responsible to the people. It must be removed from the Influences which dominate and control It The people must have their rights restored to them. The system is wrong now and no relief can come from It. The commercial interest cannot control the people as against their own welfare. A legislature may be cor rupted, but the state cannot I do not believe that our government can prosper If we perpetuste a system which deprives the people of their Inherit rights of government By suffering such Injustice the common people will lose their love for our government, and faction will arise which will eventually destroy the government. Change the method of selecting the sen ate and we will go back to our old-time prosperity. Combinations In restraint of trade will cease. Legislation will be enacted which will benefit the people, Outrageous . graft and plunder will be checked. The senate will return to its time-honored place. Political bosses will lose their occupation and the people will come Into their own. I believe that In this one problem He the solution of our whole economic question. Make the senate an honest legislative body, which It would be If the people elected It and the commercial erase would die. Business would resume Its natural course. The smalt business man. and tradesman would be protected by legisla tion, not thwarted. Elect senator by th people, and no state will be deprived of It equal representation In congress. Elect senator by the people and men of character and ability will seek the office. Elect senator by the people and we will have the same brilliant senate aa of long ago. meet senators by the people and w will have better government officials. Elect senators by the people and save the legislature from corruption. I believe the time Is not far distant when again the statea will be called upon to ratify the sixteenth amendment to our national constitution. Every other amendment ha proven a fortification and trengthened the libertlee of our people, and this. In my judgment will forever guarantee to the cltliens of this republlo an equal voice In the highest lawmaking body of America. FRANKLIN A. SHOTWELJU A. Week of Rasas.

Perhaps the only eventful feature of the week a market was the strength In sugar, which was due to the fact that wet weather has prevailed In Cuba for some time, retarding grinding.

Then the question of weather and the new crop ' comes in. weatner conditions in xtrasu i present, it Is claimed by some large eastern dealers, are not favorable to the crop, there being too much rain. The movement of the present Brazil crop, as shown by the dally receipts reported at the Braslllan ports, is running at small figures and the trade demand for coffee in this country Is generally reported as steadily improving.

The market has advanced aurinn inn two weeks to a point where it is naruiy possible to market any of these goods at loo per tin and afford either the retailer or the Jobber a fair margin of profit Kvery day emphasises the scarcity of medium grade goods. There Is not much besides this to report in the canned goods market. The demand Is unusually good, with corn moving out well and at nigner prices. Fish for Lenten Season. Rvnma are tronir. A rumor Is current iiiii iiiimu rflnra all over the Country have consolidated, and this makes a tend ency to higher prices. Jobbers are freely predicting a gooa aavunce in . n " weeks.

There ha been a heavy demand all winter for most kinds of fish and It will be enormous between now and Lent. Jobbers are unanimous In saying they expect Inside the next thirty days a strong advance in an iiiiu salt fish. Holland herring and mackerel have already begun to go up.

They give It out, however, thnt these prices are the lowest that they will make, and that In all probability they will be advanced aoon. .... The rice market Is active, with a disposi tion to mark up higher grades and all kinds of broken. The supply Is so limited that higher prices are anticipated. Advance la Cotton Goods. Trade has been good with the dry goods houses. Hope bleached advanced January 10 to 7c and similar grades to the same basis. Brown goods also advanced He to Vic for four-yard goods. The trade has good reasons for expecting an sdvance in American prints. The largest snd best In formed retailer are buying these and Other lines of cotton goods freely. Local dry goods houses sre kept busy opening up new goods and Ailing spring or ders. Sales of dress goods and wash goods have been larger than at any former time.
