Judges Dallas and Gray. Is hearing ar
Kiinieius in the appeal to bring H. K.

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

Judge Bufflngton wanted to know

with his brother and sisters growing

IS CHIEF BIGGY SUICIDE?

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.

NEAV YORK, Dec. 1. On account of the
absence of Frank B. Kellogg, the spe

When the hearing was begun today
counsel for the Government caused to be

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.

the Union Pacific, as owning roads or
stock in roads which were natural com
petitors to it. came within the prohibi

by Alex. Miller, secretary of the Union

and it showed that the two roads had

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.

PLACE BAN ON OPIUM
Importation of Drug for Smoking Is
Barred by Officials.
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.
