lug session, " buf. Judge Sutton ruled he
could , not tes'.'lfy, as he' had been In the
court room am), heard evidence in violation
of the rule' of tho Court that .all witnesses
should be excluded during the trial.
Samuel E. , Howell, (he defendant, then
went on the stand. . Mr. Connell questioned
the witness .to styow iii, his relations with
the Coal exchange he was acting for . the
West Omaha Cvoal .and Ice company and
not individually. When he djd not, go to
the meetings of the exchange himself, he
said, .he sent. a. clerk (or, some other mem
ber of, the firm. Mr. .cinncll then, con
tinued: , . .
"Did you, or so far as you know any
members of the .exchange, have any agree
ment to tlx the price pX-coiilT." .
"We never had any arrangement or
agreement to fix prices." 1
"Did youi or any, other member, do any
thing to prevent true add unrestricted trade
In jfual and other fuels?"
Unlimited Yvree-dora.-.
"No, sir; there was unlimited freedom In
every particular." "
After examining the two price lists pre
sented aa evidence by County Attorney Sla
baugh the witness, sulii. he had had noth
ing to do with circulating them and was
not present at the meeting' at which, -the
slips from which the-lista: were, made up
by the secretary had bet n' bunded In.
When he signed ihe-riiheeks and vouchers
which paid for the printing of the lta he
said lie had no personal knowledge what the
payment was made for and had no personal
knowledge of.,the. lists until after they had
been Issued. He'aaid.lt was the under
stanAlng a dealer could, change the.prloe
on the lists at ajiy time. He said he had
done nothing with ithe Intent of preventing
anybody else from, engaging in (he coal
business, prevent competition or. raise
prces. He said Jtiwas a fact the prices of
coal were fixed ; by -other, cgnslderatlpns
entirely outside an action of. the exchango.
JudRe Sutton ruled U would not bo proper
to ro 'into -the details . of these methods.
The .witness suld he bd never adopted the
prices named In toe .price lists or recog
nized them as. fixing in any . manner' tho
prices of coHl.or,QUier, fuels. He declared
he, personally, . haa , solicited, pcai business

These questions -were directed" 8.t' evi
dence offered by entries lr the cash book
of the exchange and by the testimony of
Henry Ostroin, secretary of the exchange,
which was to the effect the board. of direc
tors, of which' Mr. Howll is ex-officio mem-,
her,' had assessed slich" fines and (he flnes
had been paid, , )- ....
Mr. Onnnell then directed his questioning
to the letter of J. A. Sunderland offering
to resign from' the; exchange " because the
exchange had refused to allow his firm1 to
build a second coal; yard. Mr. Howell 'said
he had some recoTteclioh of sufch a letter
being presented to the exchange.
Mr. Connell brought out that following
the receipt of the -letter the constitution
and bylaws were amended to allow dealers
to have two coal yards. ,
"bid you act with ' others' to "modify the
objectionable 'feature so the Sunderlands
could stay In?" ( ' ' '
"Yes, sir." ' ""

. Up to that time did you or any member
of tho exchange make any opposition to or
do anything to prevent any member, from
having twq coal yards or a dozen?"
"No, sir," ' 'f .. . '' '
County Attorney m Slabaugh took up the'
cross-examination a.t thla point and hand
ing the .witness the Sunderland letter,
asked: . , '"".
"What, then, did Mr; Sunderland mean
! when lie said In the letter of resignation
that; he had taken this matter up with the
exchange and the exchange had decided not
to act?"
"I 4on't know." ',
- The witness said he knew the exchange
had issued so-called price lists, ,biit did not
know of the specific ones referred to Ip.
the direct examination.
When County Attorney Slabaugh asked
him if he were not also, in the ice business
Mr. Connell objected, saying it would ten,4
to prejudice the minds of the Jury. Judge
Sutton let the question In and Mr. Howell
aid Ills company dealt in both coal and
ioe. Referring again to the assessment of
fin's against members County Attorney
Blabaugh asked:
".Didn't the K""- of directors, of which
you were a member, assess these fines?''.
"I don't know." 1
He aald he thought he had. filed, price
' slips, naming his own price, with the sec
retary within the last eighteen months.

Mr.' Bonaparte was1 bated upon the 'speech
made by him lh Chlcugo in September, 1809,
beMre the oonference held there to consider
the trust question. " In that speech- Mr.
Bonaparte declared that legislative action
In regulation of restraint of combinations
was undesirable. When the- Moody nom
ination was- placed before' the aenate today
Senator Culberson ' called attention to the
act that the position he 1 to vacate will
be filled by Mr. Bonaparte, and he then
read extracts from the Chicago speech in
tipport of an nrgumerit that Mr. Bonaparte
Is not 'qualified to take the responsibility
of enforcing anti-trust laws. '

are today.

Senator. Rayner started to, reply when
Vf e President Fairbanks observed . that
the nomination before the senate was that,
of Mr.. Moody,v and not Mr. Bonaparte.
This had the -effect of curtailing the speech-
making, but Senator Teller .said .that it was
customary . for a)l nominations, to go ovr
one. day after, being reported from eom
niltU'S. ajwl he therefore objected to fur
ther consideration. . -
A large number of nominations were con
