THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. ISTABLISH 1 EXAMPLE FOR COXEY Washington Anuthorities Receive Captain Primrose's Command Without Ceremony. IN CELLS AT THE POLICE STATION Commonweal Army Likely to Be Givena Similar Reception. LABOR LEADERS EXPRESS INDIGNATION | Declare that the Men Will Be Well Defended by Able Lawyers, WILL NOT BE TREATED LIKE VAGRANTS Congross to 1o Asked to Susp Relating to Disorderly Ass in the Interest of the Cohorts, WASHINGTON, April 8.—The uncere- monious manner in which the freight car- load of unemployed from Cincinnati was taken in charge last night is a forecast of the reception which awaits Coxey's army Tomorrow the men will be brought into police court upon charges of vagrancy. The local law against vagrants applies to all men without visible means of support, who are destitute and likely to become charges upon the city; who have no avocation or means of gaining a livelihcod, or who solicit alms. The penalty is ninety days in the workhouse at hard labor, but it rests within the discretion of the judge to accept their promises to leave the city at once or to accept $200 as surety that they will not be- come public charges. There is no doubt of the application to the band under Captain Primrose, for the search in the police sta- tion shows that the total capital of the company amounts to about $2. They have received two fairly good meals today and have except for the ignominy cells. Captain Primrose, band, may find himself in more serious trouble than his followers. There is an old law on the statute books, which was passed | in 1830 and has never been repealed, which makes it a misdemeanor to bring into the District of Columblas any destitute people who are likely to become public charges, with a penalty of from $25 to $50 for each offense. The police authorities are now con- sldering the advisability of bringing a charge of violating this law against the leader, in which his fines, with the alternative of the worklouse Imprisonment, would amount o a heavy punishment. EXAMPLE FOR COXBY, The same charge may be brought against General Coxey if disaster does not overtake the Army of the Commonweal befor it cor pletes its itineracy. OF course the vagrancy act may not be brought into application against Lis followers, and besi. there are other lawa_yhi o it i 108 I tised purpose of the Coxeyites to break. Ono 1s the act of congress regulating the use of the capitol grounds, which forbids any gath- ering for demonstration or parade, the mak- ing of auy oration or use of threatening language or the display of any banner or de- vice to atract attention. The other is a local law which forbids men to congregate on the steps of a public or private building. It Tests within the discretion of the vice presi- dent and speaker of the house to suspend the capitol regulations for any proper pur- pose, and perhaps Coxey's agents will apply to them for permission to carry out their program. Major Moore, chief of police, sald today in comfortable, onfinement in the leader of the been passibly of speaking of the march of Coxey: “Tiese | bargaining with them in the matter of the laws are on the statute books'and we have | iSsue of bonds.

To simply repulse the men and forbid them to enter the District would be to turn them loose on the suburban residents of Virginia and Maryland, and this is an aspect of the matter which gives rise to much uneasiness here. Major Moore has received a lettor rom the chief of police of Alleghany City, Pa., de- cribing the Co: men in- most uncompli- mentary term: He declares there are several professional eriminals in thelr. ranks; that four or five burglaries were committed by them while they were in his city, and that there would have heen more depredations but for the close police surveillance over the army during its stay. Colonel Redstone, the Washington repre- sentat of Coxey, sald concerning the men arrestod-last night: ‘“This body of men {s not connected with the Commonweal army, as no Coxey men will come on until word s previously “sent to our headquarters, and none will come in disorder or without mil ftary discipline. There will be no resistance of the law, and none of the men will enter the city until the main line arrives Many of the labor leaders in this city are incensed at the arrest of the forty-one un- employed, and declare the proceeding was without lawful authority. They say also that Major Moore had no right to deal with these men In a manner Intended as a ‘‘hor- vible example’” for Coxey's army. It is clalmed when the case comes into court tomorrow there will be plenty of friends of the arrested men, including a constitutional lawyer and member of congress, and if authority has been overstepped In’ this ar- rest for it UNION PACIFIC the proper people will be made to suffer DRAW Transport Idle Me duced Rates.

Superintendent Knapp was noti Bed not to bring the so-called {ndustrial army nto the city; that they could not stay at Ogden or any other point within territorial lmits, and unless arrangements could be made to send them east they must be re- turned. The consultation ended, and t troops were marched up town and the gat- ling gun was planted in the public square A long consultation between territorial au thorities was held in the mayor's office and the whole military force placed under com mand of Lieutenant Lassiter, Sixteenth Unlited States Infantry, The governor and railway officials held another consultation at D JUNE 19, 1871 matum that it would not carry the men at less than full rates, and the Southern Pacific then ordered the train brought into Ogden in deflance of the governor's protest.

An appeal to the rich ask- ing for funds to purchase food and trap portation for the Boston contingent w unanimously adopted. Swift then made a speech in which he de- nounced the newspapers in general, charg- ng them with sending out biased reports about the Coxey movement. He said the men following Coxey were like the men who followed John Brown: they were men with a purpose in view and were willing to tramp and suffer hunger and all other hardships in order to reach the place where the laws are made to seek amelioration from white slavery. ILLMAN IS ITS PROPHET. New Combination in Nutional Politics Pro- posed by South Carolina’s Governo COLUMBIA, S. C., April 8.—(Special to the Associated Press.)—While the eyes of all the people of the United in conse- quence of the recent alleged insurrection in Darlington, Governor Tiilman comes to the front with the suggestion of an upheaval in national politics. Wh'le the Assocated pross correspondent was at the executive mansion today the governor read a letter he had re- ceived from a western populist, in which the writer said that the only thing he did not admire about the governor's political course 50 far was that he Qid not have the moral courage to come out squarely and call him- sell a populist. The governor then called attention to the fact that many of the north- ern and western papers were speaking of him as a populist governor. Then, after a little deliberation, he sald: “Yes, they call me a populist. T will tell them that T am the true anlo.ly rep:esen a- tive of Jeffersonian democracy in the lead in American politics today. Let me tell you, T don't, see anything ahead now but fo rthe soutifen democrats to combine their forces with the western populists and go into the next national campaign on new party line Then the northeastern democrats and repub- licans are now together. It is a combination of the moneyed interests.'” The governor then, turning suddenly, in a somewhat excited and forcible manner said “I despise Cleveland and his mugwumps. He is no better than the rankest of republi- cans. He has destroyed the democratic party. The south and west will be forced to unite and have aplete reorganization of party lines. The people who are afraid of tho megro and other questions will have to cast aside their fears on those scores and come together on the general line of fighting the combination. Cleveland has been unde the dictation of the New York bankers and | es, the nomination at Chicago through the in- fluence of a subsidized press, and, with the votes he lacked there after exhausting such means, he bought with promises of patron- age, which promises have since been re- deemed. The goods have been delivered His attempt to browbeat and debauch the senators and representatives was outrageous in the extreme.” - BLACK SMALLPOX IN CHICAGO. Victim of the Disease Dies Suddenly Wi Oceupying a Jail Cell. CHICAGO, Ap) A case of black small- pox cansed the ite 18 iveliest kind of a commotion in the Harris street police street station this evening. A man suffering with the plague died in a cell there and from twenty to thirty officere and forty-five other prisoner were exposed to the disease. The vietim's name was Benson Sherman, but nothing further has been ascertained regarding him. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon he was brought to the police station by a man who informed the desk sergeant that Sherman was drunk and asked the police to lock him up until he was sober. This was done and about four hour: the lockup keeper nticed that Sherman's face had turned black. The health depart- ment was notifl and as soon as the health officer saw the man he pronounced the dis. ease black smullpox, Dr. Gunn of the health office at once had a thorcugh fumigation of the place made. Everything was done to relieve the suffering of the man, and prepar ations were made to remoye him to the pest- after house, but before the ambulence arrived he died. Inspector Laughlin, on learning that a vietim of the smallpox had died at the station ordered the place quarantined. Dr, Gunn also ordered that everybody In the station be vaccinated and a corps of physi clans were set to work on the arms of the prisoners and officers. It was thought best to remove the prisoners, and this was done, the forty-five occupants of the cells belng transferred to the Twenty-second street station. s CHEYENNE INDLAINS AT PEACE, Lay Down Their Trouble Is Ove RENO, Okl, April §.—The Cheye war has ended and the excitement has Arms and the Cowhoys EL Indi; 2 o'clock, and the governor was informed that the industrials had been halted sev eral miles west of the Utah line, pending ar rangements which the Southern Pacifie was trying to make with the Union Pacific for transportation east At 4 o'clock the Unioln Paclfic gave its uitl abated.

WASHINC April 8.—Governor Till- man, saying that news is not commerce and that the interstate commerce has nothing to do with it, has directed attention to a deci- slon rendered by a majority of the supreme court in 1877, bearing indirectly on the sub- Jeet. At that time Chief Justice Waites in delivering the opinion, held that since the case of Gibhons against Ogden, it has never been doubted that commercial interc an clement of commerce which is w regulation of congress urse s thin the The question at issue arose in the case of the Pensacola Telegraph company inst the Western Union. The former, having the exclusive right to establish and muintain teleg h lines in cer in counties in Florida, sought to enjoin the latter company from using the right of way of the Pensacola & Louisville Railway company, which had been granted to it, to erect telegraph lines on ac count of the exclusive right of the Pensacola Telegraph company under its charter. A decree was passed dismissing the bill and an appeal taken to the supreme court. The chief justice, in the course of his opinion, held as follows: ““Both commerce and the posta within the powers of congress, bec national in their operation, they should be under the _protecting care of the national government. The powers thus granted are not confined to the instrumentalities of com- merce or the postal service known or in us when the constitution was adopted, but they keep pace with the progress of the country and adapt them to the new develop- ments of time and circumstances. They ex- rvice are use being tend from the horse with its rider and the stage coach and steamboat to the railroad and finally to the telegraph, as these new agencle successively brought into use to meet the demands of increasing population and wealth. They were intended for the government of the business of which they relate at all times and under all circum- stances. They were entrusted to the general government for the general good of the na- tion. It is not only the right, but the duty of congress to see to it that intercourse among the states and the transmission of intelligence s not obstructed or unneces- sarily incumbered by state legislation.” CONSIDERING THE TARIFF BILL.
