Supreme Court Affirms Sena
tor's Contempt of Court .
Sentence.
FREE PRESS RIGHT DEFINED
Holmes and Majority Hold Com
ment on Pending Case Violates
Law Harlan Holds Decision
Violates Federal Constitution.
WASHINGTON, April 15. The Supremo
Court of the United States today dis
missed the writ of error in the case of
ex-United States- Senator Thomas M.
Patterson, of Colorado, in which the Sen
ator was fined $1000 by the Colorado Su
preme Court on the charge of contempt.
Tlie action has the practical effect of af
firming the decision of the Colorado
courts. The opinion in the case was de
livered by Justice Holmes, who said in
effeot that the court was without Juris
diction. Justice Harlan delivered a dis
senting opinion. Justice Brewer also dis
sented from the decision, holding that the
court was not without Jurisdiction.
The proceeding against Patterson grew
out of the Colorado Supreme Court's de
cision in election cases, following the acri
monious state campaign of 1904.
The Senator is the principal owner of
the Denver Times and the Rocky Moun
tain News, both Denver daily papers, and
the contempt proceedings were owing to
strictures on these decisions published in
the two papers, in which the charge was
Inferred to have been made that the court
was subservient to the corporation inter
ests of the stat.
Limits of Free Press.
In the course of his opinion Justice
Holmes discussed at some length Mr.
Patterson's contention that the charges
made by him were true and that, there
fore, there could be no contempt in his
criticisms of the court. On this point
Justice Holmes said:
The defense on which the plaintiff in
error most relies is raised by the allegation
thnt the articles complained of are true
and the claim of the right to prove the
truth. He claimed thti right under the con.
Mltutlon. both of the state and of the
United States, but the latter ground alono
comes Into consideration here, for reasons
already stated. We leave undecided the
question whether there Is to be found in the
34th amendment a prohibition similar to
that in the first. But even if we were to
assume that freedom of speech and freedom
of the press were protected from abridge
ment on the part not only of the United
States but also of the states, still we should
be far from the conclusion that the plaintiff
In error would have us to reach. In tha
first place, the main purpose of such consti
tutional privileges is "to prevent all such
previous restraint on publications as they
had been practiced by other governments,'
and they do not prevent the subsequent pun
ishment, as such, as may be deemed con
trary to the public warfare. The prelim
inary freedom extends as well to the false
as to the true; the subsequent punishment
may extend as well to the true aa to tha
false. This was the law of criminal ltb
apart from statutes In most cases. If not
in all. s
Obstruction of Justice.
In the next place, the rule applied to
criminal libels applies yet more particularly
to contempt. A publication likely to reach
the eye of a Jury declaring the witness in
a pending case a perjurer would be none
the less a contempt that it was true. It
would tend to obstruct the administration of
Justice, because even a correct conclusion
Is not to be reached or helped In that way.
If our system uf trial is to be maintained.
The theory or our system is that the con
clusions to be reached in a case would be
Induced only by evidence and argument In
open court and not by any outside influence,
whether of private talk or public print.
What Is true with reference to a jury is
also true with reference to a court. Cases
like the preaent are very likely to arise,
no doubt, when there Is a Jury, and the pub
lication may affect their Judgment. Judges
generally, perhaps, are less apprehensive
that publications Impugning their own reas
oning or motives will interfere with their
administration of the law. But if a court
regards, as It may, a publication concerning
a matter of law pending before it as tend
ing toward such an Interference It may pun
ish it. as in the Instance put. When a case
is finished, courts are subject to the same
criticism as other people, but the propriety
and necessity of preventing interference
with the courts of Justice by premature
statement, argument or intimidation hardly
can be denied. '
Attuck on Free Press.
In his dissenting opinion. Justice Harlan
said:
The court leaves undecided the specific
question whether there Is to be found In the
14th amendment a prohibition as to the
rights of tree speech and free press similar
to that in the first. Yet he proceeds to say
the main purpose of such constitutional pro
visions was to prevent all. such "previous
restraints" upon publication aa had been
practiced by other government, but not to
prevent the punishment of such as may be
deemed contrary to the public welfare. I
cannot assent to that view. If it meant that
the Legislature may Impair or abridge the
right of a free press and of free speech
whenever In Its Judgment the public wel
fare requires that it be done. The public
welfare cannot override constitutional priv
1 lines, and. it the right of free speech and
of a free press are la their essence attri
butes of National citizenship, then neither
Congress nor any state since the adoption
of the 14th amendment can, by legislation,
or by Judicial action, impair or abridge
them. In my Judgment the action of the
court below was lu violation of the right of
free speech and a free press as guaranteed
by the constitution.
I go further and hold that the privileges
of tree speech and of a free press belong
ing to every clttxen of the United States
constitute essential parts of every man's
lllerty and 1 protest against the violation
of that clause -vf the 14th amendment for
bidding a state to deprive any person of his
liberty without due process ot law. it is,
1 think, impossible to conceive of liberty as
secured by th "constitution against hostile
ai!tU-u, whether by the Nation or by the
state, which dues not embrace the right to
enjoy free speech and the right to have
free press
MUST VAX TRAXSFKR TAX
Astor Family I.oea Appeal Against
er York Law,
WASHINGTON. April 15. New York's
transfer tax law was today deciaxed con
stitutional by the Supreme Court of the
United States In deciding the case of
Wtnthrop CVianler and other heirs of the
late Mrs. Laura Astor Delano vs. Con
troller Kelsey, In which the decision was
against Mr. Chanter. The case arose In
connection with the will of Mrs. Delano,
by which she devised to members of the
Astor family about $4,000,000 worth of
property held by her father, William B.
- Astor, under directions given by him. be
fore his death and before the statute was
enacted. ,
The question thus presented was wheth

under certain conditions is constitutional. J
The state courts sustained It and the Fed-
eral Supreme Court upheld them in that
down by Justice Day. He found Mrs. De

devising the property and therefore held
the law to be applicable. Justice Holmes
delivered a dissenting opinion. In which
Justice Moody concurred.
MAKES, SEVEN CARDINALS
Pope Also Appoints American Bish
ops and Denounces France.
ROME, April 15 Pope Plug X had a se
cret consistory this morning In the Vati
can and created seven new cardinals, as
follows: Monsignor Cavallarl, patriarch
of Venice; Monsignor Ryaldini. papal nun
cio to Spain; Monsignor Lorenzelli, ex
Papal nuncio at Paris; Monsignor lualdi.
archbishop of Palermo; Monsignor Mer
rier, archbishop of Malines; Monsignor
Maffl, archbishop of Pisa; Monsignor Ag
uirre y Garcia, bishop of Burses, Spain.
The ceremony was performed with the
usual gorgeousnes and impressive pomp.
First, all the cardinals met In consistory
hall, headed by their octogenarian; dean,
Oreglia dl Santo Stefano, the only surviv
ing cardinal created by Pius IX. They di
vided into three groups, according to their
orders of bishops, priests and deacons.
Pius X, robed in white, entered on foot,
preceded by the Swiss Guard, flanked. by
the Noble Guard and followed by the
SisUne choir, singing After the cardinals

hall except the Pope and the Sacred Col

dressed a simple prayer and delivered a
short allocution.
The pontiff dealt especially with the
struggle in France, which, he said, was
particularly painful to him, as he loved
"that most noble nation, whose sorrows
and Joys I consider as my own, instead of
being those of her French rulers, who af

violently despoiling the church and falling
to recognize the ancient and true glory of
the country, tried to uproot the remains
of religion by committing all kinds of ex
cesses, even those most repugnant to
French politeness, violating every public
and private law and custom. In so doing
they calumniated the episcopacy and
clergy, tried to separate them from the
holy see and purposely utilized the na
tional Institutions to' further their ' anti
religious wax, so as to be able to accuse
the holy see of being In opposition to
French popular institutions which, in re
ality, were always recognized and respect
ed.
The Pope said he was much pleased
with the splendid concord shown by the
French bishops and clergy, who remained
faithful to the holy see, hoping for better
days for France and for the church. He
was confident they would not cease to do
their sacred duty and work for the benefit
of so beloved a people, adding;
"To hatred they will oppose love; to er
ror, truth and to insults and maledictions,
forgiveness. I pray God to end this per
secution of religion and permit the church
to reacquire her liberty. Even non-Catholics,
if they are lovers of civilization,
must agree with us that this would add to
the common good and prosperity of the
country.'
The Pope then proceeded to the creation
of the new cardinals. After this he made
the appointments of archbishops and bish
ops, Including Monsignor Albert Guertln,
bishop of Manchester, N. H.; Monsignof
James Davis, bishop of Davenport. Ia.:
Monsignor Emmanuel L Ruse y Rodri

Custom Has Been In Vogue
lor Several Years.
CHICAGO, April 15. Chicago's police de
partment contributed thousands of dollars
to the Democratic campaign fund In tne
recent mayoralty campaign and has- con
tributed in a like manner to whichever
party was In power as long as -the older
officers of the force can remember, ac
cording to revelations made today before
the civil service commission Dy police 01
ficiala. Among the officers who offered their
testimony to the commission Is Inspectors
Reevere and Kelly, Captain McSweeney
and Lieutenant Jenkins. Captain Mc
Sweeney,, who several days ago refused to
talk on the subject, confessed freely today
that he had aided In the collection of
large amounts of money to be used in- the
recent campaign.
According to the Civil Service Commis
sion, every man who engaged in the col
lection of the funds, even each patrolman
who contributed, is liable to indictment by
the grand Jury under the provisions of
the Civil Service act. One of the sections
In the act provides that any persons dis
regarding any of the provisions of the law
shall be fined not less than 1,000, and
may be Imprisoned In the county jail for
a term not exceeding six months.
The Commission has announced Its in
tention to sift the matter to the bottom,
but, ft is said, will not prosecute the
under-officials. who, it is asserted, merely
carried out the command of Chief of
Police Collins.
Captain McSweeney said when he was
asked to subscribe to the fund he was
provided with as many blank envelopes
as there were men. at his station Into
which the money was to be put
"I was Instructed to deliver all the
envelopes to the inspector." said he, "and
I did so. They all contained money. A
few had J10 bills and a great many $5
bills."
After Captain McSweeney's testimony.
Inspectors Reveere, Kelly and "Wheeler
were sent for. Reveere and Kelly re
sponded at once, bnt Wheeler could not
be found, and be will be subpenaed to
appear before the Commission tomorrow.
On hearing from the Commission that
Jenkins and McSweeney had told com
plete stories of the election assessment,
Reveere said that in all he collected about
$3700 from the officers and men under him.
Kelly admitted having obtained J2600 from
his men. Both Inspectors said no lists
had been kept of these who did not sub
scribe, and that no special favors were
given those who contributed to the fund.
Inspector Kelly was asked if he con
sidered Chief Collins' request for contri
butions as a command.
"Yes, I took it as an order," replied
Kelly, "but I could have disobeyed if I
wanted to."
Both the' Inspectors testified that the
money had been given to E. H. Roach,
ex-Commissioner of Public Works.
STANDARD KEEPS UP FIGHT
Has No Intention Paying Big Fine
If Company Can Evade It.
CHICAGO. April 15. Despite over
whelming proof of its violation of the
Elklns law, as shown by the verdict of
guilty returned against it In the United
States District Court, the Standard Oil
Company has by no means given up. No
legal technicality Is to be overlooked by
Its attorneys and the case' will be kept
In the courts as long as possible. .Within
a few. days Judge K. M. Landis will be
asked to fix the time when he can hear
arguments on a motion for a new trial,
notice of which was served on the court
Immediately after the jury .had returned
its verdict. If this motion is overruled
the defense will present a motion in
arrest of judgment. On this question Dis
trict Attorney Sims and his special as
sistant, James H. Wilkerson will be called
upon to reply. The argument of the de
fense will be that, in accepting the six
cent rate, the Standard Oil Company com
mitted only one violation of the Eikins
act and that the contention of the Gov
ernment that each car of oil shipped con
stituted an additional offense is not good.
To this the government will reply that,
as only one offense can be punished by
no mora than $20,000 .and that the amount

derived by the Standard Oil Company in
the courts charged In the indictment was
$223,000, the fine is by no means commen
surate with the crime.
"If $20,000 is the most the Government
can line a violator of this law," said an
Assistant District Attorney, "it will have
little effect in stamping out evils It was
enacted to remedy. In this case we took
shipments of cars only In 1903, but that
represented only a fraction of the number
shipped by the Standard from its refinery
at Whiting to St. Louis under the secret
rate. I venture the total rebate for that
could not have been less than $500,000, and
this is only one case."
Should Judge Landis sustain this motion
in arrest of judgment, the defendant com
pany undoubtedly will pay the fine and
prepare for a similar line of battle in the
seven remaining indictments. If the mo
tion is denied, the case will be appealed
either to the Court of Appeals or to the
United States Supreme Court.

EXPERIENCE OF PHOTOGRAPH
ER WITH MASKED BURGLAR.
After Visitor's Departure He Calls
Police, Who Trace Robber Over
Roofs of Adjoining Buildings.
J. Z. Dufresne, an artist, who has a
studio in Moore's Gallery, was bound,
gagged and robbed of his gold watch
and $25 In coin at 1:50 o'clock this
morning by a lone highwayman, who
was masked. The Incident was at
tended by sensational features, for af
ter the robber had departed Dufresne
succeeded in working- loose from the
gag and hopping to a window, his feet
being bound, shouted for the police.
The night clerk at the ImperiaL Hotel
immediately phoned police headquarters
and Patrolman Gustafson was sent to
investigate.
The officer, accompanied by an Ore
go'nian reporter and a Pinkerton
watchman, entered the Moore studio
and found Dufresne securely bound,
hand and foot. The bindings comprised
pieces of a lace curtain torn into strips
and portions of Dufresne's suspenders.
While Gustafson telephoned headquar
ters and inaugurated a search of the
premises, Dufresne told his story as
follows:
"You fellows got here mighty quick,
and he is just' gone" (referring to the
robber). "I was asleep when he en
tered, and he evidently had ransacked
the gallery and studio before he found
my room. The fellow entered my room,
and I awoke only to look into the muz
xle of a revolver. I remained per
fectly still while he tied my hands, all
the while having his gun within easy
reach of his right hand. After tying
my hands, he tore up the curtain and
tied my feet, and then bound a strip
of the curtain around my head. He
then went through my pockets and
took the money from my trousers. The
watch he secured from the vest, but
in searching the trousers he over
looked several gold pieces. He went
out by the door he had forced In en
tering and I was unable to follow
and hardly able to move. I hobbled
to the window and shouted for the po
lice after getting rid of the cloth about
my head."
Captain Bailey,- accompanied by Pa
trolmen Anderson, jruillips, Gruber and
Johnson, soon joined Gustafson on the
roofs, and all possible hiding-places
were thoroughly investigated.
The burglar evidently made his way to
the roof of the Moore studio building
and from that point managed to gain an
entrance to the lodging-house kept by
Mrs. Henry Griffin, which fronts on
Sixth street, and escaped to the street.
Mrs. Griffin stated that just before Pa
trolmen Anderson and Phillips entered
her house from the rear, she heard some
one running down stairs and through her
hall, and she reached the head of the
stairs just too la,te to see the man, but
saw the door slam shut.
A number of officers went to the ninth
floor of The Oregonlan building and by
descending the fire escape on the Alder-
street side gained access to the roof of
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company's structure and made a thor
ough search of that place, for It was re
ported that the man was seen on the
roof at that point.
Dufresne says that he is confident that
he can recognize the fellow, should he
meet him again, and he accompanied
one of the officers on a search, but
no one was seen answering the descrip
tion given. -

SUIT FOR MILLIONS LIKELY
Financing of the Chicago Terminal

Shirk Their Obligations.
CHICAGO, April 15. (Special.) Four of
the biggest men in financial and railroad
circles Edward H. Harriman, George J.
Gould, Jacob H. Schiff and James Still
man are threatened with suit for the
recovery of millions of dollars In dam
ages on the ground that they broke faith
willfully and fraudulently and failed to
fulfill their contract and materially pro
moted, if they did not cause, the bank
ruptcy of the Chicago Terminal Transfer
Railroad Company.
W. W. Miller, an attorney of New York,
who Is In Chicago, has prepared a petition
for presentation to Judge Kohlsaat in
the United States Court, asking that he
instruct Receiver J. N. Falthorn of the
terminal property to begin such a suit
in the name and interests of stockhold
ers. There is a remote possibility that
the petition will not be presented when
the receivership proceedings are called
for hearing tomorrow.
The financing whereby Mr. Harriman
and his friends rid themselves of an
obligation of $150,000 a year is charged
by many of the stockholders to be even
a more "ragged" piece of work than is
shown in the Alton transactions. By
such action, the terminal property lost
a tenant obligated to pay In the aggre
gate $13,000,000. was deprived of annual
revenue equal to 6 per cent on a capital
ization of $3,000,000 and thereafter drifted

alleged. "

NEW YORK, April 15. As a result of the
five days' conference the threatened strike
of 85,000 employes of the express companies
operating in the metropolitan district has
been averted. The employes have gained

Big Car Is Smashed.
While coming into the city from Clare

Guy Holman, collided with a wagon be
