.TOTL .. MORKIKG OREGOKIAKr-. TUESDAY. . 1905, GO TO WASHINGTON Supreme Hyde Court Decision in Diamond Case. CAN'T EVADE' TRiALr AGAIN Appeal -of Accused Land Thieves Against Removal of Case to "Washington FaIIs and Ha beas Corpus 'Refused. "WASHINGTON, May 29.-In the cases of Frederick Ai Hyde and Henry P. DJ mond. charged with complicity in West ern land frauds, the Supreme Court of the Ignited States today affirmed the decision of the Circuit Court of the Northern Dis trict of California. That decision directed the removal of the two men to the District of Columbia for trial and denied the peti tion for a writ of habeab corpus. Justice Brown delivered the opinion. Justice Brown decided All the assign ments of error against the defendant, holding that the law justifies removal from a Judicial district in a state to the District of Columbia; that the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has ju risdiction over the alleged offense, and that the indictment charges an offense against the United States. The court said: The argument that this indictment can not be sustained because the United States, having reserved the school lands in lieu of lands patented, was defrauded of nothing, if valid at all. applies equally to the school lands for which the State of Caifornia and Oregon must have received a statutory compensation fixed at $1.23 per acre. Having received this compensa tion, it may be said with equal propriety that they were defrauded of nothing. The result of the. argument is then, that, al though a gross imposition was practiced on the states by the procuring of patents In favor of fictitious or of disqualified persons by the use of forged affidavits, assignments or other documents, no in dictments therefor may lie because the states had received the same consideration they would have received had the patents been issued to persons qualified under the statutes to purchase the lands. The unsoundness of this argument needs no demonstration. The states have a right to punish a violation of a statute enacted as part of its public policy, notwithstand ing they may have suffeerd no pecuniary damage therefrom. Justice Peckham dissented. Hyde and Dlmond were indicted under section 5441 of the Revised Statutes, with John A. Benson and J. T. Schneider, for conspiracy to defraud the United States out of large tracts of public lands. The indictments in their cases, as in that of Benson, were returned In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and they have so far resisted all processes to bring them into this jurisdiction, even to the extent of carrying the case to the Supreme Court "bf the United States, where it was today decided against them. The defendants are all residents of the Pacific Coast States, and some are re puted to be very wealthy. The operations with b they are charged were carried on i u ornla and Oregon, where it is asstrtta mat they had fraudulently se cured hundreds of thousands of acres of valuable land. The plan of the alleged conspirators, as outlined by the Govern ment, wi9 to obtain by illegal means titles to state school lands located in forest re serves in California and Oregon, and to relinquish the titles thus secured to the Unlttd States under the exchange pro "Uions of the act of 1897. and to thus obtain patents from the United States for other lands outside of the reserves. In these operations they used cither real" or fictitious names, as circumstances seemed to suggest. first-class fireman, had seen .but 21 days'- service In the United States Navy, which he entered as a coal passer, his service at sea amount ing only to the trip from the United States to Vera Cruz. The official correspondence discloses that this deserter, after a brief stay on Mexican soil, was arrested on a charge of larceny, when he appealed to Pow ell Clayton, American Ambassador to Mexico, for release.

FRANCHISE TAX IS SUSTAINED Supreme Court Decision Will Cost Corporations $2-1, 000, 000. WASHINGTON. May 29.-The New York special franchise 'tax cases were decided today by the Supreme Court of the United States adversely to the corporations by which they were brought to the court. The decision was handed down by Justice Brewer, and it held the law under which the tax' was levied to be valid. The cases constituted a direct attack on the special franchise tax law of the State Of New York of S99. when President Roosevelt was Governor. The law sub jects to a system of general ad valorem taxation the special and local franchises of the public utilities, such as streetcars, gas and telephone plants occupying the public streets. This law was sharply as sailed by Messrs. Root and Guthrie, coun sel for the corporations, as unconstitu tional, on the .ground that it impairs the obligations of contracts under which the corporations acquired and own their fran chises, and that it operates to deny them the due process and equal protection of the law as guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment. amounting to more than $24,000,000 in Greater New York are made payable by j the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States today upholding the state tax on corporation franchises. Among the companies affected and the suns due from them under the law are the following: The Manhattan Elevated I Railway Company. $4.221,9o0: Consolidated ! Gas Company. 11,459.966; Metropolitan Traction Company. $2,222,636: Brooklyn Union Gas Company, 5931.26S. and the New York & Harlem Railroad Company, $9S4.-024. Sweden Masses Troops on Frontier.

NO BUILDING TRADE STRIKE Unions Will Refuse Aid to Members Who Aid Teamsters Grand .Jury Investigates Graft Charges by Labor Leaders. CHICAGO, May 29. Renewed ag gressiveness on the part of the employ ers in the teamsters' strike is expected on Wednesday. Taking advantage of the legal holiday, which will come to morrow, they will form plans for ex tensively Increasing the amount of de liveries to be made from the lumber districts. The downtown , business houses, where strikes exist, have at present about 400 unemployed drivers. These they cannot uso on account of the inability of the police department to furnish protection for them, and on Wednesday these men will be sent to the firms In the lumber districts which need drivers, and a strong and deter mined effort will be made to Increase the volume of business done in that section. The lumber-dealers had 200 teams In operation today. There was little dis turbance during the day. and none of the fights was sufficiently serious to j call for the Interference of any large j body of police. ' Practically all of the teamsters em- J ployed by the hardwood dealers in the lumber district are now out, and the ! sdft-lumber dealers are tied up. com- I paratlvely speaking, with the exception of one firm, which continues to do busi ness with union teamsters. Notwithstanding the shortage in lumber deliveries, the building con tractors express themselves as highly confident that there will be no strike of their men and no tie-up in the build ing industry. In this they are borne out by the statement of the business agents of the various building trades unions, which are to the effect that no strike will be called by .any union on account of the delivery of material by nonunion men. If men in the building trades cease work because of the de livery of nonunion material, their walkout will be their individual act and will not be officially sanctioned by the union, and men'so quitting work will not receive any strike benefits. The grand jury today began an in vestigation" Into the strike directing Its inquiry particularly to that feature which Is said to fnvolve the payment of money for an attempt to brine about a settlement of the difflculty,by a num ber of the labor leaders. It was also proposed to inquire into the existence of an alleged blacklist against the striking express-wa.gon drivers. The general agents of the express com panies were subpenaed, but all of them informed the Jurors that they had no knowledge whatever of the exist ence of a blacklist, nor did they know of any measure or methods that had been adopted with the view of pre venting the employment of the strik ing drivers in other cities. The day failed to bring out any new or sensa tional evidence, and the jury adjourned until "Wednesday. In the hearing before Master In Chancery Sherman, T. J. Cavanaugh, an official of the Teamowners Asso ciation, denied the statement made by Robert J. Thome, assistant secretary of Mongomery Ward Co., and other men Interested In the -present strike, to the effect that there- was an under standing or conspiracy between the teamsters and the members ot tat Teamowners' Association. The hear ing was marked, as usual, by numerous squabbles between the opposing counsel. Arthur Dixon, president of the Dixon Transfer Company, the most important witness of the afternoon, declared that 95 per cent of his business is not af fected by the strike, and that he could not afford to have his men walk out. because the greater part of his busi ness is done outside of the strike zone. Students of. the University of Illinois have offered to erve on the police force during their approaching vaca tion, and Chief of Pnllro n'N'nll mm h I would accept their services If needed. Express Managers Will Xot Yield. NEW YORK, May 29 That the of ficials of the varlous'cxpress. companies' concerned in the Chicago teamsters' strike will consider no compromise of the dispute with thetr men was the statement made today, following an in formal conference of the express of ficials in the offices of United States Senator T.
