Is hearing ar Kiinieius in the appeal to bring H. K. Thaw from Matteawan Asylum to Pittsburg to testify In bankruptcy proceedings. K-Governor Stone, at whom the Itiestion was directed, replied that lie was In court In the interest of a writ of habeas corpus to bring Thaw to Pittsburg, where his assistance was needed properly to marshal his es tate, and that he did not know what Thaw's creditors might do. What Thaw C'nii Testify To. The answer proved to be Hie most Interesting incident in the first day's proceedings In the Thaw case in the I'nited States t'lrcuit Court of Appeals, which will review the decision of Judge Young, of the I'nited States Court for the Western District of Penn sylvania, who dismissed a writ of ha beas corpus issued by Judge Archibald, of the I'nited Slates Court for the .Middle District of Pennsylvania Judge Bufflngton wanted to know what Thaw could testify to If he at tended a meeting of creditors in Pitts burg, and Mr. Stone replied that he could tell of contracts he had made with his brother and sisters growing out of llielr father's will; of contracts and agreements with alienists, and many other matters.

(Continued From Flrt Pane.) statement in regard to what had been discussed. Commissioner Cutler will probably remain at the head of the Police De partment only a few days, but as yet there has been little discussion rela tive to the appointment of a successor to Biggy. Suicide or Accident? Among officials of the "department there are two theories to account for the disappearance. A number of hi subordinates incline to the belief that worry and grief over the newspaper crit icisms of his official and private de meanor Impelled him to end his life, while others affirm with equal confidence that he fell from the slippery deck dur ing an attack of vertigo or a fainting spell. Biggy's visit to Belvedere was noun usual proceeding, but it has been cus tomary for him to have as escort a police lieutenant or sergeant. In Mr. Keil's statement It Is affirmed that notifica tion of the visit was conveyed In a telephone message from San Francisco by some man who said: Conversation With Kelt. "A gentleman Is coming over in the launch to see you. You know who it is." Mr. Keil's Informant declined to give his name. and the Commissioner watched the landing in front of ills home until he sighted the lights of the launch, which moored some distance away, Biggy coming ashore In a small boat. L'pon entering the house, the Chief complained of the cold and was given some Scotch whisky and cigars. "Chief Biggy was very much worried about the newspaper articles." the statement proceeds, "and complained very bitterly at the manner In which they were hounding him. I told him pay no attention to the articles In the press." Police Department matters were dis cussed for over an hour, and Chief Big gy was taken out to the launch In a small boat rowed by the Commissioner. The Chiefs manner was cheerful at the moment of his departure. Biggy had himself filed charges acainst Captain Thomas Duke and Ser geant Thomas Burke, and it was stated yesterday that the League of Justice, an organization perfected after the shooting of Mr. Heney. had submitted to an at torney a number of matters which were to constitute the basis of formal charges against Chief Biggy. lOPEN MERGER CASE First Evidence Taken Against Harriman System.

Testimony at Interstate Commis sion's Inquiry Vscd to Prove -Sherman Law Violated Law yers, Financiers In l'orce. NEAV YORK, Dec. 1. On account of the absence of Frank B. Kellogg, the spe cial Assistant Attorney-General, who "Is engaged in the Standard Oil case, no direct testimony was taken at the hearing today in the Government's suit to set aside the ownership by the Union Pa cific Railroad Company of Its alleged subsidiary companies, the Southern Pa cific and the San Pedro. Los Angeles & Salt Lake roads and prevent the owner ship by either the Union Pacific or the Oregon Short Line of stock in the Atchi son, Topeka & Santa Fe. the Great North ern and Northern Pacific roads, these roads being deemed to be competitors of the Union Pacific. Great Gathering of Lawyers. When the hearing was begun today counsel for the Government caused to be read Into the minutes certain portions of testimony taken before the Interstate Commerce Commission at hearings that were begun in this clly in January of last year and were continued in various parts of the country. John G. Mllburn appeared for E. II. Harriman and all the railroads inthe so-called Harriman group. He was as sisted by a number of prominent law yers and acob H. Schlff and Otto Kuhn, both of the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb r Co.. as well as James Stlllman, president of the National City Bank, and Senator W. A-. Clark and his San Perdo. Los' Angeles & Salt Uke Rail way Company, were represented by their own group of lawyers. Alton Case In Evidence. The testimony was taken from the nvestfgatlon of the Chicago & Alton deal and was alleged by the Govern ment's counsel to supply evidence that the Union Pacific, as owning roads or stock in roads which were natural com petitors to it. came within the prohibi tion of the Sherman act. It was given by Alex. Miller, secretary of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific companies, and it showed that the two roads had many directors and other officials In common. FROZEN" OUT OF COAL TRADE Hearing of Sharp's Case Against Harriman Lines In Utah. SALT I.AKK. Dec. 1. Hearing of the case of the United States against the Union Pacific Coal Company, the Union Pacific Railroad, Company, Everett Buckingham, ex-traffic manager of the Oregon Short Line, and J. M. Moore. Western sales agent of the Union Pa cific Coal Company, In which those persons and corporations were charged with conspiracy to drive David J. Sharp out of the coal business in this city, was begun In the United States District Court today. The exploitation of this case before the Interstate Com merce. Commission in 1906 created a sensation and it was followed by an Investigation by a committee of the Utah Legislature in 1907. From 1903 until July, 1906, Sharp was a coal dealer in this city. In July. 1906, he was forced to suspend through Inability to secure any more coal, this action following an advertisement by him to the effect that he would sell "storage coal" 50 cents a ton cheaper than the advertised price of other dealers. Previous -to this, a reduction of BO cents a ton by the railroads and coal companies had been made to the retail dealers, who, however, with the exception of Sharp, had agreed to maintain the old prices. Sharp refused to enter the agreement, and, on ac count of this, he alleges, the railroads refused to haul his coal, the coal com panies canceled his order and he was driven out of business. Counsel for the defendants denied the existence of any such combination or conspiracy.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 1. The col lector of the port has received orders from Washington to prohibit in future the Importation of opium containing less than 9 per cent morphine or of any opium that might be used for smoking. The instructions came from Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of. the food and drug chemists of the Department of Agriculture. As this harbor is the port of entry for practically all the drug imported in a refined state into the country, it is estimated that the cus toms revenues from San Francisco will be materially reduced. The Cninese importers of the city evidently had word of the new order before It arrived, as they paid J10.0JO in duties to the Government yesterday, thereby releasing about 8000 pounds of opium held In bond. There still re mains flu the various bonded ware houses of the city opium to the esti mated value of JiiiO.OOO. which will not be released and must be shipped back to the consignors In China. Dr. Wiley's action is taken under the pure food laws, which do not provide for smoking opium as a food or drug. The supply of opium for "dope pipes" now in the Chinese quarter is very limited, as it has been the custom of importers to hold the consignments In bonded warenouses, paying duty on it and releasing it as they needed it.
