Bootd it WASHINGTON, Dec. General W. H. Moody, in his annual report to Congress, recommends the enactment of a law which will provide that where an indictment is*duly re- turned to a court of the United States the Judge of that court may, in his discretion, issue a bench warrant for the arrest of the defendants wherever they may be found within the territo- rial limits of the United States, and that it ghall be the duty of all nersons authorized to serve such process to arrest the person or "persons indicted, and if they fail after reasonable oppor- tunity to furnish bail for their appear- ance, to bring them to the court in which the indictment has been found. The Attorney General explains that much embarrassment in the adminis- tration of law has arisen from the in- ability of the United States to bring an offender to the place and the court where he must be tried. By the con- stitution the trial of all cases must be held in “the State and district where- in the offenses shall have been commit- ted.” WOULD PUT END TO DELAYS. It frequently happens that persons accused are not found within the lim- its of the district where the offenses alleged against them are triable. The frequency of such cases increases with the gravity of the accusation and where it consists of a conspiracy al- most invariably one or more of the al- leged offenders are without the juris- diction of the district. That at some time injustice might result to individuals, says the Attor- ney General, cannot be denied. The occasional abuse of power is insepara- ble from its existence. That innocent men now and then are indicted for crime must be confessed, but the in- dictment of a Grand Jury, guided, as such a body usually is, by the instruc- tions of the Judge and the counsel of the District Attorney, affords assur- ances that such instances of oppression will be rare indeed. On the other hand, the possibility of delays and defeats of justice which the present system af- fords renders the power of the United States ridiculous and brings contempt upon the administration of the law. BIG CASES INSTANCED. In suvport of his views Moody cited a numberrof cases in which justice has been defeated or greatly delayed and large expense unnecessarily incurred by the Government. Among these cases is that of the co-defendants with Captain Oberlin M. Carter in the Sa- vannah Harbor improvement frauds. Moody outlines the proceedings and says that only after a delay of twen- ix months did the United States 5.—Attorney | reach the point where, under the law, it was permitted to take men charged with a grave crime to the place pro- vided by the constitution for their trial Then the two defendants whose pres- ence was most desired fled the coun- try and, although persistent and con- tinued effort for their “recovery has been made, they are still at large. Un- til they shall be apprehended it has been deemed undesirable to proceed with the trial of the other defandants upon the indictment. Another case, he says, is that of George W. Beavers, under indictment in connection with the postoffice frauds. In relation to the case the At- torney General says: FIASCO OF BEAVERS. “When Beavers can be obtained for trial no one can predict with certainty. How much further immunity from trial the intricacies of practice. the delays of the courts and the ingenuity of counsel may serve to procure for him no one can foretell. It can onily be hoped that at some time before the witnesses are dead or have forgotten the circumstances, the power of the United States may be proved to be sufficient to bring the accused 228 miles | to the place appointed by the constitu- tion for his trial.” Another case is that of Hyde, Ben- son, Dimond and Schneider, indicted in February last in the District of Colum- bia for defrauding the Government of large tracts of public lands. Only one of these defendants thus far has been placed under bail for trial, and yet the case, the report says, has cost the Gov- ernment $20,000. e LA SUGAR COMPANY LOSES. Circuit Court’s Decision in Govern- ment’s Favor Affirmed. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—The Su- preme Court of the United States to- day denied the applications for writs of certiorari in the cases of the Amer- ican Sugar Refining Company of New York vs. the United States, thus in ef- fect affirming the decision of the Cir- cuit Court of Appeals for the Second District, which sustained the Govern- ment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—Several bills relating to the tariff were introduced in the House of Representatives to-day. North Dakota provides for a tariff com- gress can fully investigate the subject and determine what changes will best promote the general welfare. Nine com- missioners are to investigate and report ’m Congress recommendations as to necessary changes in the tariff. Representative Fordney of Michigan also offered a tariff commission bill. Representative Lovering of Massa- chusetts proposed three bills. The first provides for the allowance of a draw- back and the remission of internal rev- enue taxes on articles consumed on vessels clearing for foreign countries from United States ports. The second provides for a drawback on imported f which are used in the production of or are joined part of articles produced in the United States. The third provides that where | imported materfals on which duties have been paid are used as coverings or wrappings of articles produced in the United States there shall be allowed on the exportation of such articles a draw- back equal in amount to the duties paid on the materials used as such cov- erings. Representative Baker of New York introduced a resolution reciting that the tariff is a fraud on the American people wherever it is levied on any ar- ticle whose labor cost is less in the United States than anywhere else. The resolution especially mentions steel, and reseolves “‘that this despicable fraud on | the American people be stopped by di- recting the Secretary of the Treasury to suspend the collection of the tariff tax of $7 84 a ton on steel rails until such time as the United States Steel Corporation and others furnish conclu- sive evidence that the amount paid by them to their employes for producing a ton of steel rafis is greater than that paid by English steel rail manufactur- | ers.” Baker also introduced a resolution calling on the Attorney General to communicate to the House his opinion as to the extent to which the alleged combination of steel the price of steel constitutes a viola- tion of law. B —— LOS ANGELES REPUBLICANS ROUT SNYDER Only One Democrat on the Ticket Elected. OF ANGELS BY REPUBLICANS. 5.—Election of a full municipal ticket was held in this city to-day, the first municipal LOS ANGELES, Dec. election in the United States since the general election of November 8. Owen McAleer (R.) was elected Mayor over M. P. Snyder (D.), who has held the office for gix years, by a plurality approximating 3000. The majority of the Council will be Re- publican. Up to a late hour last night it ap- peared that the Republican candi- dates for Assessor, Treasurer, Auditor, Clerk and City Attorney are elected. The Democrats elected their candidate for Street Superintendent over the Re- publican incumbent, against whom a most vigorous and bitter fight had been made. Roosevelt carried Los Angeles City a month ago by 12,836 votes. |- though figures are not available at this time, it appears that this Re- publican plurality has been reduced by about 9000 on the vote for Mayor. —————————— LEAPS TO DEATH < FROM ROOF OF BUILDING LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5.—To escape arrest an unknown man about 45 years old leaped from the roof of the recently completed five-story Occi- | dental Club building at 535 South Broadway to-day and was dashed to death on the ground below.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—In his an- nual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, submitted to Congress to- day, Secretary of the Treasury Shaw states that the total receipts for that period were $684,214,373 14, and the ex- penditures $725,984,945 66, leaving a de- ficit of $41,770,571 91. The expenditures include the payment of $50,000,000 for the Panama canal. Compared with the fiscal year 1903, the receipts decreased over $10,000,000 and the expenditures in- | creased over $85,000,000, due mostly to the Panama canal purchase, the in- crease in the navy and the discontinu- ance of war taxes.. For the present year the estimates provide for a deficit’ of $18,000,000, and for the year following a surplus of $22,000,000. Transactions in the interest-bearing public debt resulted in a net reduction in the principal of $19,383,970 and a de- crease In the annual interest charge of $1,364,828 30. The total stock of money in the coun- | try at the close of the fiscal year 1504 | was $2,803,504,135, an increase of $118,- | 793,148 over the preceding year. The extraordinary amount of $42,193,282 94 in foreign gold coin and bullion and | $29,158,970 31 in domestic bullion was deposited in the Mint at San Francisco ! during the year and paid for by the lo- cal office or by telegraphic exchange on New York. The Secretary points out that steps! must soon be taken to provide bullion for subsidiary coinage. He adds: “In this connection, it may be pointed | out that no provision now exists for the recoinage of standard silver dollars which by natural wear have become unfit for eirculation. Many such are now Yin the Treasury. They cannot be recoined into dollars without loss, and there is no authority to reimburse such loss. As the subsidiary ccins are of lighter proportionate weight than the standard silver dollars, these abraded and uncurrent coins might be recoined into subsidiary silver coin without loss.” MORE PLIABLE RESERVE. It is recommended that the act provid- that “whenever and so long as the goid coin held in the reserve fund in the Treasury for the redemption of United States notes and Treasury notes shall fall and remain below $100,000,000 the au- thority to issue gold certificates be sus- pended” be changed by inserting the words “and bullion” after “gold coin.” “The effect of the proposed amend- ment,” says the Secretary, ‘“‘would be to vest in the Secretary of the Treasury discretionary power as to the propor- tion of coin and builion in the reserve, and it would be his duty to keep at all times sufficient coin in the fund to meet the demand.” The interest bearing debt on Novem- ber 1, 1904, was $895,157,770. A regrganization of the customs dis- tricts on a more businesslike basis is recommended, in view of the fact that it costs more to maintain some stations than is collected there in revenues. Among these is Humboldt, Cal.,, where it costs $6 to collect $1. Of the revenue service the report states that several new vessels are re- quired to replace an old, obsolete and worn-out class, and at least one for a new station at Honolulu, Hawaii. There is no vessel of the revenue cut- ter service available for service in Ha~ wailan waters, where one is needed. The Bear and the Thetis are annually dispatched by the service for the re- lief and protection of whaling and oth- er interests in the Bering Sea and Arc- tic Ocean. They are still in great need of extensive repairs and it is recom- mended that they be given the neces- sary overhauling. » PAPER MONEY DEMAND. Preparations are being made for the erection of wireless telegraph towers at convenient intervals along the sea- coast. These towers, together with those maintained by private corpora- tions, will afford opportunity for the advantageous use of wireless teleg- raphy by the revenue cutter service. This service now has a coast guard of modern vessels, and the Secretary rec- ommends that at least ten of these be provided with approved wireless equip- ment for communication with the coast stations. All amounts which have become due to the United States under the agree- ment dated February 1, 1899, for the settlement of the indebtedness of the Central Pacific Railroad Company have been paid by the railroad com- pany in full, including interest on all outstanding notes to August 1, 1904. The principal of all notes held August 1, 1904, amounted to $26,465,722 02, and first mortgage bonds to the amount or $26,466,000 are held as seécurity for the payment thereof. “‘Our currency system,” says the re- port, “though’ somewhat complicated, has been proved safe and reliable un- der every practical test. The exchange of gold for all forms of money issued or coined by the Government, on de- mand, autharized by act of Congress approved March 14, 1900, removes ev- ery suggestion of public distrust or doubt. The system has one recognized weakness, however: it is nonelastic. This_criticism is sometimes answered by the statement that national banks possess the power to increase circula- tion at will. Actual experience demon- strates the insufficiency of this prerog- ative to correct the recognized evil.” All radical changes are opposed. To meet a demand for paper money of small denominations it is recom- mended that national banks be per- mitted to issve a larger proportion of their authorized circulation in denomi- nations of five dollars, and that au- thority be given to issue one-eighth of the aggregate volume of gold certifi- cates in denominations of ten dollars. The revort refers to the growth of trust companies and says: “I suggest the propriety, therefore, of a law giving trust companies of large capitalization in large cities the privilege of incorporating under Fed- eral law, with corresponding supervis- ion. If such right were extended, the more conservative would probably avail themselves thereof, and this would compel others to cultivate con- servatism.” Christmas Picture Frames.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—Representa- tive Cockran of New York introduced a bill to-day, providing for the appoint- ment of a specia’ committee to inquire into .and ascertain the amounts of money expended by both parties at all elections for Presidential electors from 1892 to 1904 inclusive. The bill provides that the commission shall be composed of the senior Asso- ciate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, the junior Judge of the Circuit Court of the United States in and for the Third Circuit, together with two Senators of different political affiliations, to be chosen by the Sen- ate, and two Representatives in Con- gress of different political affiliations, to be chosen by that body. Its main | object is to ascertain the source from | which such moneys were derived, the purposes for which used, the persons to whom they were paid or given, and the manner in which they were dis- | bursed. The terms of the bill require that the findings of the commission and the tes- | timony taken shall be reported to Con- | gress on or befcre January 1, 1906, Cockran also introduced a bill to-day | providing that when any sum exceed- ing $50 shall be contributed to the funds of any political party or any moneys | shall be expended by or on behalf of any candidate for Congress or for Pres- idential elector, before an election at yhich Representatives or Presidential | electors are to be chosen, a statement shall be filed within three days from | such contributions in the office of the clerk of the District Court of the| United States, for the district in which | the person or firm or corporation mak- | ing such contribution or expenditure | shall reside, specifying the amount, the | name and residences of donors, and of the person or officer receiving it.

The weather was springlike, adding to the general | feeling of good will. The Pontiff went to the Hall of the Consistory, where there was a most imposing gathering of high prelates, said to be the largest | since the fall of the temporal power of | the Popes, but the public was not ad- | mitted. Pope Pius, wearing his full pontifical | robes, seated himself on the throne | immediately after entering the hall. He | then recited in a sonorous voice the | prayers for the occasion and proceeded | to expound the reasons which induced | him to sanction the canonization of the new saints, inviting the sacred college to give their views, which each of the Cardinals read in Latin. The Cardinals were followed by Patriarchs, Archbish- ops and Bishops, including those from the United States and Canada. After this.the Pope proceeded to St. | Peter's, where the solemn rites of the | canonization were performed. Later the Pope received in St Peter's | all the members of the International | Congress of the Virgin Mary, which met to-day in Rome. Many foreigners including the American ecclesiastics | now in_Rome, were also present.
