WASHINGTON". Dec. 18. That the
t'nlted Slates should have the risht of
appeal to the Supreme Court as a mat
ter of right, whenever a conviction is re
versed on appeal by the defendant to a
Circuit Court of Appeals, is the opinion
expressed ly Attorney-Genernl Bonaparte
In his annual report submitted to Con
rress today. In this connection he cites
the case of the reversal of the fine of
more than JJ9.0M.nro. In which an appli
cation for the allowance of a writ of
certiorari has been made to the Supreme
Ciurt. He holds that an amendment of
tlio present statute would be appropriate
In tho cose of all criminal proceedings.
but suggests that It would be especially
In connection with prosecutions where
-tiie wealth of the defendant usually ren
tiers an appeal on his or its part from
any adverse Judgment a matter of course.
The Attorney-General's opinion la that
in such cases there Is no question of
double jeopardy as to the appeal of the
defendant from the original conviction.
Prosecutions of Trusts.
In commenting on the policy of the
IVpartmeat of Justice in reference to
Interstate and foreign commerce. Bo
naparte declared that It had been con
sistent and careful. The success of the
policy throughout the year was fair,
according to the report. In regard to
the prosecution of trusts violating:
these laws the Attorney-General said
that present obstacles might be re
moved by legislation.
He reports that many communica
tions have been received asking the
Government to take action to procure
temporary injunctions against the col
lection of increased rates on freight by
various railroads, claiming that such
rates, although duly filed with the In
terstate Commerce Commission, had
fcetn adopted in fact through agree
ments between competing railroads in
violation of the Sherman anti-trust
law. He reports that, as applications
liad already been made In a majority of
tho case to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, who deemed it inappro
priate to institute proceedings looking
to the procurement of temporary in
junctions. ' the principal purpose of
ttehicfa would be to keen the old rates
In force pending the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Has Checked Peonage.
Two classes of cases which have en
gaged a large part of the attention -of
the department, the Attorney-General re
ports, have been prosecutions for peonage
and civil and criminal proceedings arising
out of alleged frauds and irregularities
in the acquisition of title by private par
ties to the public lands.
Land Frauds and Banks.
"The land fraud cases," he says, "have
forcibly illustrated the unfortunate con
sequences of administrative laxity and
toleration of abuses in' the enforcement
of any laws during a considerable length
of time."
"The number and gravity of offenses
against the national banking laws by of
ficers or employes of national banks con
stitute matters of reasonable solicitude
and regret." he states. "The moral, cul
pability involved In such offenses seems
often to be imperfectly appreciated, and.
although they "usually excite great Indig
nation and provoke loud -complaints from
the sufferers when they are Urst discov
ered, so much time Is frequently lost in
the preparation for trial and actual trial
of these long and complicated cases that
the crime Itself has faded from public
memory when the criminal is at last con
victed, and there is need of vigilance lest
he finally escape with wholly Insufficient
punishment."
Allow Arrests Anywhere.
In his opinion, as a matter of justice,
no good reason exists why a warrant
of arrest issued by any court of the
United States should not be directly
executed in any part of ' the United
States." He asserts that' -It has been
found that certain districts constitute
for practical purposes sanctuaries for
certain classes of offenders against
Federal statutes.

Thought to Have Greene's Mexican

Guggenheim Interests.
XEW YORK. Dec. IS. The Herald this
morning gives what purports to be the
details of the movement under way to
organize an independent smelter con
cern. It says:
Plans are well advanced for the forma
tion of a smelting and refining organi
zation on a large scale. In which lead
ing parts are taken by men of the
Standard Oil-Amalgamated Copper group
and United States Steel Corporation. '
Ryan at Head.
John D. Ryan of Butte, president of
the Anaconda Copper Company and
managing director of the Amalgamated
Copper Company, is in charge of the
promotion of the new organization, and
with him in this preliminary work Is
associated Thomas F. Cole, a prominent
mining man of Duluth, Minn.
As the new concern is actively to
compete with the Guggenheims, it ts
believed that the stork issues will be
not less than $100,000,0"0. Western min
ers, It is said, have been complaining
of the excessive charge on the part
of the existing companies, and are ne
gotiating with the men back of the new
movement.
Will Absorb Other Companies. ,
It is believed the new organization will
take over the business of many existing
concerns and It Is even stated that the

Lane's Kidney and Backache Medicine. The
Kidneys are of greatest Importance In pro
tecting and maintaining the health of every
humu body. But because of the very na
ture of their work they frequently become
clocked and need help to free themselves
from Impurities. These are some of the kid
neys' warnings: Pain in the back, loss of
appetite, swelling in the lower limbs, pains
In the calves ot the leg, swelling and pain
in tbe right side, dizziness end blurred
eyesight. A few doses of Lane's Kidney
and Backache Medicine always gives relief.

recent ' Incorporation of the Phelps
Dodge interests In Arizona and Mexico
Into a $00,000,000 corporation may have
been the preliminary step toward their
association with the new company, al
though this is dented.
That the Greone-Cananea properties may
be linked indirectly, or directly with the
new organization is thought probable,
as Thomas F. Cole is president of this
corporation and John D. Ryan Is a di
rector and both are Identified with va
rious subsidiary companies In the
Greene-Cananea concern. Also Dr. D. L.
Ricketts, of the Greene Company, has
been in the city recently in connection
with the promotion of the new com
pany. Daniel Guggenheim, president of the
American Smelting & Refining Company,
today said In regard to the alleged Ryan
and Cole organization:
Says Xothing Xew.
"There is nothing new that I can see
or any difference of policy in the so
called Ryan-Cole development of the
copper smelting business. The Ryan
Cole Company and their following have
been for many years in the copper min
ing and smelting business. They are
great believers undoubtedly In copper as
a metal. So am I. Whether or not
they have now formed a large company
for the purpose of taking In other In
terests. or for the purpose of building
new smelters and buying. new mines. Is
nothing new; nor Is it anything that the
American Smelting Refining Com
pany's shareholders need look upon with
any concern whatever. because tho
American Smelting & Refining Company
has not a single exclusive copper smelter
in the United Stair3."
Standard Oil Behind Move.
Speualation as to the controlling in
fluence in the new company reported as
about to build smelting plants in com
petition with the American Smelting &
Refining Company continued today and
In certain supposedly well-informed cir
cles it was said with assurance that this
backing wa none other than the copper
Interests of the Standard Oil Company.
This is based on the theory that the new
company is the result of dissatisfaction
over charges made for smelting the ores
of other companies having Standard con
nections. There is no connection, it is said, be
tween the new smelting company and
the meeting of representatives of copper
producing and refining companies who
discussed plans for the establishment of
a statistical copper bureau, to compile
and publish monthly statistics of the
copper business. Those attending denied
that there was any intention arbitrarily
to govern the price of copper.
