Vol. IV. Whole No. 851.,

GEN. COXEY IS ON TRIAL

Senator Allen’s Able Defense of the
Comnionwcal Leader.

DECISION OF THE JUSTICE.

In 1115 Opinion the Regulation \Vliich the
Men Are Alleged to Have Viol‘atcd
Is Not Uncoustitutlonal~No
Separate Trial For Coxey.

WASHINGTON, May 5.——The District po-
lice court was filled with an atmosphere of
Populism today for the ‘trial of the three
leaders of the commonweal army who in.
vaded the capitol grounds on ~May day.
General Jacob S. Coxey, Marshal Carl
Browne and Christopher Columbus Jones,
the defendants, were early in court, sup-
ported by the presence of the local com-
monweal loader, Colonel A. E. Rodstone,
once of sand lots notoriety. Several mem-
bers of congress were on hand as support-
ers, conspicuous among them Pence 01
Colorado, Hudson of Kansas, Kcm of No-
braska and Boon of Minnesota. The com-
monwealers were represented by Attor-
neys S. E. Hyman and A. A. Lipscomb,
formerly assistant district attorney. _

Mr. Lipscomb started the proceedings
with amotion to quash the information ~
against Mr. Coxey on the following,
grounds:

That the law on which the proceeding
was based was unconstitutional in that it
denied the rights of citizens to peaceably
assemble; that it conferred unlawful priv-
ileges upon the vice president and the
speaker of the house of representatives in
permitting them iosct it aside, and that
it was not shown that they had not exer—
cised the discretion attempted to be con-
ferred upon them by setting it aside for
the occasion in question.

The prosecuting officer on his part pre-
sented an amended information differing
from the original in merely charging in
the second count that the defendants had
walked upon the grass and shrubbery,
omitting the allegation that they had in

SENATOR ALLEN.

jured it. These preliminaries were fol-
lmved by a. wait for District Attorney Bir-
ney, who was to conduct the prosecution
in person, and for Senator Allen of Ne-
braska, who was to speak on the consitu—
tionalit-y of the questions raised by the mo-
tion to quash. ,

Attorney Hyman offered a motion to
quash on the ground that the value of the
property destroyed had not been set forth
nor the jurisdiction of the police court
shown.

Judge Miller, in commenting“ on the
second motion, said that had there been
damage done to the extent of $100 in the
course of a riot, to which trampling on the
grass was incidental, the case would have
been within the jurisdiction of the su-
preme court of the District, but he thought
Attorney Hyman‘s motion was not well
taken. Another technical objection raised
by Mr. Lipscomb was that the operative
part of the act did not specify where the
prohibited acts were not to be done; that
the capitol grounds were mentioned only
in the title of the act.

While this point was being argued Sen-
ator Allen entered the bar, shaking hands
with Marshal Carl Browne. Soon after-
ward came Mr. Coxey’s son J 0550, who had
represented the union of the blue and the
gray in the march, and Mr. Coxey’s daugh-
ter Mamie, who figured as the Goddess of
Peace; Representatives Coffee of VVyom-
ing, Van Voorhis of New York, Lapham
of Rhode Island and Senator Stewart of
Nevada. The act, Mr. Lipscomb contin-
ued, might be taken to apply to any part
of the city, since congress has jurisdiction
over it all.

Judge Miller held that the reference to
the capitol grounds in the preamble was
sufficient. Then Senator Allen rose.

Senator Allen’s Remarks.

He explained first that he appeared to
help secure for the men a fair trial with-
, out reference to any sentiment, local or
national, regarding them or their move-
ment, He first argued that congress had
no right to confer on the vice president
and the speaker of the house the right to
suspend the enforcement of the act.

“All legislative power is vested in con-
ress, ” he said, “and no such power is
'ven except to the executive and legislative
ranches of the government. Congress

cannot confer the power to suspend and
nullify laws upon the speaker or the vice
president, who is not a member of con-
gress, any more than it can upon the czar
of Russia Or the governor of my state.
This act is an attempt to confer upon oili-
ccrs of the government the sovereign pow-
er to repeal an act, vested solely in con-
gress. That legislation is unconstitu-
tional because it takes from congress its
full and plenary power and confers it upon
individuals. ’ ’

The senator referred to a case in which
the legislature of Iowa had passed a law
regulating the grazing of cattle on public
lands which was to depend upon the ac-
tion of the voters in the different counties,
the question' being submitted by the su-
pcrvisors. The supreme court of Iowa,
be said. had held it to bounqonstitutional,

 

, fei‘ent- acts, but he denied it.

“That wu: lOCtzil option," eolmncntea
the judge. At another point of the argu-
ment Judge Miller remarked, “The courts
have done a. little legislation ”

“Unfortunately for the people the courts
have made law which has brought much
trouble upon this country,” said the sen-
ator. .“If the courts had not taken to
themselves the power of constant legisla-
tion, had not eucroached upon the prerog-
atives of the legislative and executive de-
purtments, the government would be con-
ducted on lines nearer the intention of
the authors of our constitution.”

Whatever might be thought of the mer—
its of the case. the. senator continued
warm1y,1t would assume .a. national im-
portance—an importance which was not

appreciated by the people of this city. He.

went back to Magua Charta and then to
our colonial troubles with the officers of
the crown. It might be asserted that the
right to peaceably assemble and to peti-
tion congress was to be separated into dif-
The right
of English speaking people, not to send
written petitions, but to assemble un—
armed, peaceably. without menaces, and
to personally present their requests to
their legislators was a right- inherent to
the systems of government of the English
speaking people-not a privilege, but a
right.

The wording of the constitution carried
the implication that there was a right to
assemble and petition at the seat of gov—
ernment. It would be nonsensical to say
that they might assemble and petition in
California. Texas or Florida, everywhere
but at the fedsral city, the seat- of govern-
ment.

“How about. the senate chamber?” in-
quired Judge Miller.

“I am coming :‘zo the proposition that is
in your mind," implied the senator. “If
congress can say mat the people cannot
assemble peaceably - without disturbing
the transactions of. public business, with-
out interfering with legislation, does it.
not abridge the constitution? “'here
should citizens logically assemble (o peti-
tion but in proximity to the body to be
petitioned?”

“W'hat is there in this case that abridges
the right to petition?” inquired J udge_Mil-
ler. “The law in question is merely a po-
lice regulation to secure the proper quiet
and order for the public buildings in which
public business is to be transacted. Of
course if the speaker were given power to
absolve a man from the moral turpitude
attached to a crime, that would be uncon-
stitutional. ”

No power was more strained or abused,
the senator responded, than that applying
to police regulations. If congress could
forbid assembling on the capitol grounds,
it could forbid it in the District of Colum-
bia or in the adjoining states. So long as
petitioners do not enter the halls of con-
gress, do not impede public or private
business, they may assemble. It is a ques-
tion of conduct, not of place.

“We have fallen upon evil times,” do—
clared the senator, “upon times when the
rights of citizens hinge upon the question
whether his boots are blacked or his clothes
shabby. Go to congress any day; see the
lobbyist there in the halls, the galleries,
the seats, on their unlawful business, as I
have seen them within 24 hours. Then say
this man Coxey. coming here on an errand
which I believe to be visionary, but which
he believes to be worthy, shall be driven
from those steps where Dennis Kearney
and Carter Harrison addressed the people
15 years ago. No. This law is an infringe-
ment upon the rights of the people, and
they will see that it is beaten down just as
this man was beaten down the other day.”

Some one in the audience cried “ Ian!”
and there were symptoms of applause.
The senator said a few words on the ques-
tion of police privileges and then with-
drew. Then Mr. Lipscomb followed with
an argument along similar lines. Judge
Miller remarked: “The right to assemble
is sometimes denied by monarchial gov-
ernment-s because with them assemblages
of the citizens are considered suspicious.
1Vith us the people are sovereign. This
right has never been abridged, and God
grant it never will be unless rash acts of
misguided persons make it necessary for
self preservation, which is the first law of
nature.”

Mr. Hyman followed with more argu—
ment.

"What greater right has congress to say
that petitioners shall not enter the senate
chamber than the capitol grounds?” asked
Judge Miller.

“No greater right,” responded young

Hyman.
The Judge Decides.

Judge Miller said that it would not take
long to clear up the rubbish surrounding
the demurrer. He said there could be no
question ' concerning the grounds covered
by the not because it repeatedly mentlned
“said grounds.” referring to the capitol
grounds mentioned in the preamble.

The act was merely a police regulation,
prohibiting actions which involved no
moral turpitud e, and therefore it was proper

that the ofiicersshould set it aside on proper ’

occasions. Congress has never intended
to abridge the rights of citizens in legislat-
ing to secure peace and quiet on the capi-
tol grounds. The constitution of the
United States was a delegation of powar
to the chosen representatives of the people
to make laws which the peOple must obey.
Congress was there, legislating not par-
ticularly for Coxcy, but for all the people.

As the judge was saying that congress
had no intention to abridge the rights of
the people Carl Browne, who stood back
against the railing in his buckskin suit,
with a red handkerchief tied about his
neck and arms folded, dramatically spoke
up, “But they do it.”

“You be quiet, sir. You are in court,”
said J udgc Miller coolly. ‘

“Excuse me, sir,” said Browne.

“If that man makes any more interrup-
tions, put him in the dock,” said the
judge, and proceeded with his remarks. If
it was true, as Senator Allen had said, that
lobbyists infested the capitol, they should
be switched out as the thieves Were from
the temple, but that had nothing to do
with the case. This was not the highest
court in the land, but since the constitu-
tion had been appealed to it was his duty
to construe it according to his lights.
When men get into their heads this idea
that they were wronged, it supplanted all
idea. of law. Most of the peoplé were will-
ing to leave legislation to congress. The
only safety for workingmen, for all men,
was in upholding the law, and it Was the
first attack that should be met,

Norwalk, Conn}. Saturday Evening,May 5, 1894.

Representative V9.11 Vo‘o‘rhis om ew York,
who had been sitting with counsel, raised
the point that the information had. not
charged that the vice president and speak-
er had not exercised their power of setting
aside their act. If a man is charged with
crime under a law which admits of excep-
tions, it must be specified in the indict-
ment that the exception did not exist.

The offense itself wasa trifling one, even
admitting it to be as bad as its denunci-
ators charged. The newspapers had mag-
nified the offense, and Mr. Van Voorhis
urged the court- to try the case as though
there were no reporterspresent.

“I will do that if counsel will,” said the
judge.

This argument had no effect on the de-
cision. Mr. Lipscomb announced that he
appeared solely for General Coxcy and
would be assisted by Representative Pence.
. “I also have the honor to appear for
General Coxey,” remarked a gray headed
gentleman known as “Pan-Electric” Rog-
ers. ‘

Mr. Lipscomb moved for a. separate trial
for Coxey, which was denied.

Commonwealers’ Shrowd Device.

TACOMA, May .5—Latest reports from'

the scene of_ disturbance on the Northern
Pacific railroad are that the commonweal-
e’rs did not exactly steal the train, but
simply swarmed aboard in such numbers
that the trainmen could do nothing with
them. In every case where a man was or-
dered to get off he got oil, but immediate
1y climbed back again. The train was
finally sidetracked at Palmer, and United
States marshals have gone to the scene.
The plan of the commonwealers now is to
steal their way to Spokane on some road,
making that city their rendezvous, and
then to proceed cast via the Great N orth-
ern.

Governor McGraw and the Industrials.

SEATTLE, W'ash., May 5,—Goveruor Mo
Graw, after being notified that the indus
trial army under “General” Cantwell had
seized a Northern Pacific train,said the road
was in the hands of theUnited States courts,
and the federal government was fully pre-
pared to com with the difficulty. lle re-
fused to take any action as to the train,
but said that if any part of the army re-
mained at Puyallup he should deal with
any emergency that might arise.

Fryo’s Men DIay \Valk.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 5.—Frye and his band
of 400 Coxeyites want. to get out of Indian-
apolis. Provisions are running low, and
the citizens do not show a disposition to
support the army longer. Frye says that
he hopes to move toward “'ashington tor
marrow. If railroad transportation is de-
nied him, the band will walk.

Galvin at Homestead.

PI’I‘TSBL’RG, May 5.—Galvin and his band
of “commonwealers,” numbering 219 men,
arrived here by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and camped at Homestead. N 0
stop was allowed here because Galvin
could not satisfy the police authorities
that arrangements had been made for
their care here.

Money For Morrison.

LEBANON, 1115., May 5.~—)Iorrison and
his band of 32-5 Coxeyites from St. Louis
reached this city. A special meeting of the
city council was held and $25 given to pro—
vide supper and breakfast for the men.
Private subscriptions swalled this sum to
an amount sufficient to supply their wants.

Coxey‘s Baby Not Expressable.
MASSILLOX. 0., May 5.—-Seth§Shoemakel
of this city has received a. telegram from
General Coxey requesting him to express
Coxey’s 2—year-old son to \Vashiugton at
once. The express companies refused to
accept and transfer the child.

 

. Going to Join Kelly.

OMAHA, May 5.——A dispatch from Gret-
na, Neb.-. 20 miles west of here, says that
Dufi’s commonwealers from Lincoln ar-
rived there on foot to join Kelly’s army at
Des Moines. Their reception by the au-
thorities was very cool.

“’hat “’ill Kelly Do Now?

DES MOINEG, May 5. —At midnight Gov-
ernor Jackson announced that all his ef-
forts to secure transportation fcir Kelly
and his band had failed, and that he had
no plan to suggest.

Aubrey at Anderson.
ANDERSON, 1nd,, May 5.—The Indiana
"industrial army,” under “General” Aub-

AUSTIN, May 5.——The treasury of Texas
is today without a dollar, a. conditionaoi
affairs that has not existed for 20 years.
Before the end of the year there will be a
deficiency of several hundred thousand
dollars, and it is doubtful whether the
state will be able to meet the interest on
its bonds, amounting to $4,000,000.

PARK RIDGE, ills, May 5.-—A heavy
Windstorm struck an unfinished building
and demolished it. Albert Koppler of
Niles was killed, and Edward Evers, Au-
gustus Miller and I-ienry Peterson were

Promising Youngsters Held.

BROOKLYY, May 5.—Hoss Cullen and
Delmar Furries were held today to await
the result of the injuries they caused Isa—
dore Hommcr. They are all boys and were
playing in a vacant lot. Cullen and Far-

He went home, where it was ascertained
that he was seriously injured.

A Tax on Bicycles.

VVHITINSVILLE, Muss, May 5.~Thc as—
sessors of the town of North Bridge have
decided to tax bicycles and will at once
notify all wheelmen. They estimate that
there are 300 bicycles in town valued at
$25,000. ‘Wheelmen expect the money to
be used in improving the roads and will
not object.

Another London Hoax.

LONDON, May 5.—-The supposed infernal
machine which was found close to the
government powder magazine in Hyde
park, this city, turns out to be another
hoax. The internal machine was nothing
more than a. meat tin containing a clock
case and filled with soot.

 

HARRIS IS IN E-ARNESIF

He interrupted Mr. Chandler So as-to
Take Up the Tariff Bill.

QUAY RESUMES HIS SPEECH.

The Burden of It \Vas Sugar, Its Produc-
tion and Manufacture—A Very Dull
Day of Routine \Vork In the
House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, May 5.——Thcre was a good
deal of activity on the Democratic side of
the aisle when the senate met today. Sen-
ator Gorman, chairman of the Democratic
caucus, calm, suave and imperturbable,
was the center of one group and Senator
Jones (Ark) of another. The action of the
caucus last night was evidently the sub-
!ect under discussion. Before any busi-
ness could be transacted Mr. Allison (Rep,
Ia.) suggested that perhaps it might be
well to ascertain officially the presence of
a quorum, and the roll was called, devel-
oping the prescnce of «is senators.

Mr. Harris, who has charge of the tarill

bill, was not in a trifling humor, and at

the outset he announced in emphatic tones
that if business was to be done by unani-
mous consent it must be without debate,
or he would interpose an objection.

Mr. I-Iunton (Dem., Va.) then asked
unanimous consent to consider the bill to
remit the penalties on the dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius.

Mr. Chandler, who was formerly secre~
tary of the navy, began to recall some his-
tory in connectiOn with the inception of
those dynamite cruisers, when Mr. Harris
rose ominously in his place and warned
the senator that there must be no debate.

Mr. Chandler objected in a. half joking
tone against being cut of}? in the middle of
a. sentence and was inclined to make game
of Mr. Harris, whereupon the latter inter-
jected an objection and abruptly moved
that the senate proceed with the Consider-
ation of the tariff bill. .

The motion was agreed to, and Mr. Quay
took the floor and resumed his speech, has
gun three weeks ago today. His subject
today was still sugar, its production and

manufacture.
In the House.

Promptly after the reading of the jour-
nal the speaker laid some bills from the
Senate before the house, among them house
bill to regulate the sale, of intoxicating
liquors in the District of, Columbia. Mr.
Heard, chairman of the committee on the
District of Columbia, moved that the sen-
ate amendment be nonconcurred in and a
conference requested.

There was some misunderstanding in the
administration of the new quorum count-
ing rule this morning. The speaker told
Mr. Hepburn (Rep, Ia.) that his name
was reported by tellers yesterday as being
present and not voting, and his name had
been called again to give him another 0p-
portuuity to vote. -

Mr. Hepburn said that he had come into
the house after his name was called and
did not kii'ow he could vote.

At 12:20 o’clock the house went into conr
mittee of the whole on motion of My.
Catchings, for the purpose of considering
the river and harbor bill. Mr. Hatch was
in the chair.

Greeks Ask American Assistance.

VASHIXGToX, May 5.-—Thc American
people are called upon to ext-end a helping
hand to the Greeks who suffered so so
verely from the recent earthquakes. To-
day the following cablegram was received
from United States Minister Alexander at
Athens: “\Yhat are American cities doing
for urgently needed relief of sufferers from
earthquakes?”
