Jnstice Steele, of Colorado,
Hands Down an Important
Decision In Moyer Case
SAYS PEABODY WENT TOO FAR
Military Government Overstepped Its
.i Bounds in Refusing Habeas Corpus
to Prisoner—Opinion Deals With the
Situation Created by Military Rule in
Colorado.
Denver, July 2.—Justice Robert \V.
Btecle of tl.e state supreme court yes
terday filed his opinion dissenting from
the decision of the majority in refus
ing a writ of habeas corpus to Charles
H. Moyer, president of the Western
Federation of Miners, when he held as
a military prisoner at Telluride by or
der of Governor Peabody. The opinion,
containing: nearly IS,000 words deals
•xhaustibely with the situation created
In this state by military rule and cites
mass of authorities to show that only
the legislature can suspend the writ of
habeas corpus. Justice Steele says in
part: "No person who has the slightest
claim of respectability siiouid hesiuue
(o approve the action of the governor
in enforcing the law, and 1 am willing
to uphold him and to applaud him so
long as he keeps within the lines of the
constitution. But I am not willing to
uphold him when, in my opinion, he
breaks down the barriers erected by
the people for their protection, nor am
1 willing to accord to the constitution
elastic properties for the purpose of
sustaining him nor to join in the es
tablishment of a precedent which will
not apply to other classes or other con
ditions when another governor under
takes to exercise the same arbitrary
power.
"I am not willing to concede the pow
er claimed by the governor and exer
cised by him, because, in my opinion,
such power is not vested in him by the
constitution. The people should never
have intended to erect such an engine
of oppression.
"If follows, at course, that if the
present executive is the sole judge for
the condition which can call into ac
tion the military power of the govern
ment and can exercise all means nec
nessary to effectually abate the condi
tions and the judicial department can
not inquire Into the legality of such
acts, that the next governor may, by
his understanding, exercise the same
arbitrary power. If the military au
thority may deport the miners this year
It can deport the farmers next year..
Governor Has Gone Too Far.
"If a strike which is not a rebellion,
but be so regarded because the gov
ernor says it is expected, then any
condition must be regarded as a rebel
lion which the governor declares to bo
such and If any condition must be re
garded as rebellion because the gov
ernor says so, then any county in the
state may be declared to be in a state
of rebellion, whether a rebellion exists
or not, and every citizen subjected to
arbitrary arrest and detention at the
will and pleasure at the head of the
executive department. We may. then,
with each succeeding change in the
legislative branch of the government,
have class arrayed against class, and
interest against interest and we shall
depend for our liberty, not upon the
ccnttituticn but i|pon the grace ani
favor
of
S A
i? .*•
*w* -i
the governor and his military
subordinates."
"The authority is everwhelming."
continues the opinion, "that the posi
tion of the governor cannot be sus
tained that the power of suspending
the privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus is legislative and not executive:
that martial law can only prevail in
places where the civil law is over
thrown by force, and that it exists
only so long as it is necessary to re
instate the courts: that martial law
cannot prevail where the courts are
open and exercising their functions
that the judicial department will take
notice whether the courts are open or
have been overthrown by superior
force.
"This court has not undertaken lo
declare the position taken by the gov
ernor and his special counsel is cor
rect, but has said that the right of the
governor declare and enforce martial
law and suspend the privilege of the
•writ of habeas corpus is not involved.
The court would have sustained the
governor, under the authorities, if it
were possible to do so but, finding it
Impossible to sustain him under the
authorities, it has sustained him in
spite of them.
."But I believe that the constitution
has been unnecessarily assailed and
rudely violated by the head of the ex
ecutive department, and I further be
lieve that this court has removed the
landmarks which our fathers have set,
and my duty requires me to withhold
my approval." j,

ACCUSE MEMEIERS AERO CLUB.
Santos Dumont's Friends Say Ruin
of Airship W»is Planned in Paris.
Paris, July I.—Santos Dumont's
friends here maintain that the de
struction of the envelope of lus unship
was due to the Jealously and envy of
French aeronauts rather than to the
wanton instincts ot an American mar
auder. They are trying lo find out if
the plan was not arrangeJ by ceitum
members of the A ret) club whose pub

who, moreover. ia.ve nisin\ reasons for

"I can see no other explanationthan
that the affair was hatched in this
city." said a close associate *pf the
Hriizilinn yesterday morning There

was quite to their interest. I am willing
to wager I could put my hands on the
origin of this unprincipled act If I
tried hard. Whoever may be the per
so'i who performed the act the plot
had its origin in this city."
Those on the other side of the con
troversy insist that SiMitos Dutnont
himself cut the envelope. "All along,"
said one of thesie people "he has been
putting up a big bluff but lost his
courage for ve-y good reasons as the
moment approached when he must lose
h'u reputation. It was a bold but
clever scheme." The people who made
the envelope here say that if Santos
Dumont cabled for more material, the

MOSQUITOES OWN COAST.
Break Up Revival and Drive Men
From the Fields.
New Orleann, La.. J-dy 1-—
The
mosquito which Is now worrying the
pfonle of New Orleans and the ad
jacent gulf coast generally is pro
nounced by I»r. Kohnke to be the
marsh mosquito which has not been
here for many iears. It is very laige,
and though it does not carry disease its
bite is much worse than that of the
ufiual variety.
At Pearlington the mosquito is re
ported to have broken up the Metho
dlBt revival meeting, whil'3 in St. Ber
nard parish planters have been com
pelled to take their laborers from the
fields on account of the pest. A promi
nent rice planter of St. Bernard ex
pressed considerable anxiety loflt the
mosquitoes seriously interfere with the
rice crops in that parish, as it is im
possible to get laborers to work in the
fields while the mosquitoc-s are as bad
as they are now.
The present condition of affairs Is
tbe worst ever known in the history of
mosquitoes, bui the general impression
is that it is merely temporary.

event ever held in Iowa.
'The Dubuque course is on£ of the
oldest in Iowa, though portions of it
are comparatively new and much work
is being expended upon these parts,
in the effort to get them in shape for
the big contest. Last year the Du
buque representatives came to the state
meet in Des Moines with the expecta
tion of landing the meet for their,
course this year. After a short strug
gle with the Waveland contingent,
which was a candidate for the honor,
the latter club withdrew, thus leaving
the field open to Dubuque. At the:
time the promise was made by the Du
buque golfers that they would put forth
every effort to get their course in
championship form, and officers of the
state association, who have just recent
ly visited the'course, say it will be the
best links over which the meet has
ever been held.
Mr. Leslie, the professional of Chi
cago, has the following to say relative
to the Dubuque coyrse: "I went out to
the golf club at Dubuque the other day
to remodel than nine hole course In
preparation for the Iowa state cham
pionship. I give my word that I have
traveled over all courses in all parts of
the world, but I never saw richer turf
than that on the Iowa course. It Is
like proverbial velvet of some of the
seaside links at home (England.) The
first, second, third, sixth, seventh and
ninth holes were rearranged, and I got
a playing length of 2,800 yards. On ac
count of the diversified topography cf
the links, with plenty of valleys and
ditches, there is little need of artificial
bunkers and hazards. The convenience
of the links in the center of Dubuque -s
a big factor and I expect to see a good
state championship played on the
course.'
The linl's are located within a two
blocks' walk of the terminus of the
electric street car line and on what is
known as the old Randall farm. The
club house is beautifully situated in the
midst of an old orchard. The main
front is toward the northwest, looking
thru a broken row of pines out over the
brassy slopes of the fair green. The
interior of the club building is suitably
furnished in soft green stain, and the
large main assembly hall Is encircled
by a sixteen-foot piazza and wile
French windows, running to the floor
thru the entire hall and porches into
one large room. The locker rooms are
vary coinpletp and commodious,, the
woman's locker being connected with
tho main rooms of the building and
having its cwn toilet room and shower
bnth. The men's locker rooms open
only npoi the wide north piazza and
contain about a hundred lockers. A
large dressing room adjoins the men's
looker rooms, in which are located the
shower baths and small dressing
rooms.

Just, to be arbitrary the latter com

READ ADMIRAL CHADWICK AND THE PERDICARIS CASE.

he proceeded to superintend the instal
lation of it. The only station of any
consequence on the border is that at
Ran Diego. Here Inspector Emil
Engelke presides and is under the sup
ervision of Commissioner North.
Mr. North hired six study desert rid
ers, provided them with mounts and
stationed them twenty-five miles apart
along the border. These men were to
be under the direct charge of an out
rider, whose duty it was to scout in
land thru Mexico, particularly toward
the seaport of Ensenada, the known
headquarters of the ring in that sec
tion. This man was \provided with
five horses, Which he worked inrelays.
Whenever he got track of or sighted
a party headed for the border, he rode
like the pony express rider of old, and
so arrived far in advance of the
would-be-line-runners. In this way
he was enabled to warn all of the
patrols to be on the lookout, and the
chances were ten to one that the party
would be prevented from getting over
the line. The scheme worked excel
lently. Since the inauguration of the
patrol, over 100 Chinese have been cap
tured after they succeeded in crossing
the line, and have since been deport
ed. The "steerers" or "runners-in,"
who have been captured have been
Mexicans or Indians. The maximum
penalty for their offence is the imposi
tion of a fine of $500 for each two
Chinese smuggled, and a term of two
years in the penitentiary.
During the short life of this patrol
the riders 'have had many queer and
some amusing experiences. They are
as picturesque a lot of men as are to
be found outside of the mounted police
force of the Canadian wilds. The
leader, or outrider, is a noted border
character. While the riders need ex
pect little resistance on the part of
the Chinese, their mission is not with
out its dangers. It is a notorious fact
that the "bad men" of both countries
gravitate towards the border. Mexi
cans and Americans, whose strongest
argument is the six shooter, abound
in these parts, and the riders always
go heavily armed and ready for trou
ble. When the patrol line was first
formed, they surprised parties of
coolies, guided by steerers, camped on
the Mexican side, just inside the bor
der. As long as they remained there
they could not be molested by the
scouts. For weeks great camps ex
isted by the borders of springs,
patches of greasewood or willows. They
watched for chances to get over the
line when the rider was called to an
other section of his long patrol, but
many turned back to take their chances
on the sea, traveling by junks from
the port of Santo Tomas in lower Cali
fornia to San Juan on American teiri
tory.
One day a patrol in the vicinity of the
border town of Tia Juana noticed a
wagon with a heaping load of hay cross
the imaginary line which separates the
two republics. This was not exactly an
unusual proceeding, but the rider's sus
picions were aroused, nevertheless.
Hailing the driver, lie asked him his
destination. As the reply was some
what hazy, scout informed the Mexican
that he would accompany hinu
The fellow looked the picture of mis

However, they persisted, as the old
time rivar man always does, 'so that
when dawn appeared the barrier was
continuous and assured. Although the
pressure of the river had already forced
the logs againBt the defenses, the latter
held the strain well.
The storm had settled into its gait.
Overhead the sky was filled with gray,
beneath which darker scuds flew across
the zenith before a howling southwest
wind. Out in the clear river one could
hardly stand upright against the gusts.
In the fan of many directions furious
squalls swept over the open water be
low the ^ooms, and an eager boiling
current rushed to the lake.
Thorpe now gave orders that the tug

moments later he expressed himself as
satisfied. The dripping crew, their
harsh faces gray in tbe half light,
picked their way to the shore.
In the darkness of that long nigbt's
work no man knew his neighbor. Men
from the river, men from the mill, men
from the yard, ail worked side by side.
Thus no one noticed especially a tall,
slender, but well knit individual'dress

slouch hat which he wore pulled over
his eyes. This young fellow occupied
himself with the chains. Against the
racing current the crew held the ends
of the heavy booms while he fastened
them together. He worked well, but
seemed slow. Three times Shearer hus
tled him on after the others had finish
ed, examining closely the work that
had been done. On the third occa
sion he shrugged his shoulder some
what impatiently.
The men straggled to shore, the
young fellow Just described bringing
up the rear. He walked as though
tired out, hanging his head and drag
ging his feet. When, however, the
boarding house door had closed on
the last of those who preceded him and
the town lay deserted in the dawn he
suddenly became transformed. Cast
ing a keen glance right and left to be
sure of his opportunity he turned and
hurried recklessly back over the logs
to the center booms. There he knelt
and busied himself with the chains.
In his zigzag progression over the
Jam he so blended with the morning
shadows as to seem one of them, and
he would have escaped quite unnoticed
had not a sudden shifting of the logs
under his feet compelled him to rise for
a moment to his full height. So Wal
lace Carpenter, passing from his bed
room along the porch to the dining
room, became aware of the man on tbe
logs.
His first thought was that something
demanding instant attention bad hap
pened to the boom. He therefore ran
at once to the man's assistance, ready
to help him personally or to call other
aid as the exigency demanded. Owing
to the precarious nature of the passage
be could not see beyond his feet until
very close to the workman. Then he
looked up to find the man. squatted on
the boom, contemplating him sardonic
ally.

The latter listened in silence
and stolidity, then turned and without
a word departed swiftly in the dark

turned his attention to the wagon. He
ripped up the upper board of the bed
and discovered a pigtail. When he I
pulled this vigorously enough he found
that there was a Mongolian at the
other end of it Then he began to
work with vigor and inside of a half
hour he had fourteen Chinese hand
cuffed to each other and tied to the
wagon wheel. They were a sorry look
ing lot. How long they had been lying
in the wagon was hard to tell. They
had to lie Hat on their stomachs,
breathing thru holes cut in the bottom
of the bed. Every jolt must have been
agony to them, and as the uir they did
get was generously charged with alkali
dust they narrowly escaped suffocation.
The steerage quarters that they had on
Near the bank of the river they en
countered a man visible only as an un
certain black outline against the glow
of the lanterns beyond. Thorpe, stop
ping him, found Big Junko.
"This is no time to quit," said Thorpe
sharply.
"I ain't quittin'." replied Big Junko.
"Where are you going, then?"
Junko was partially and stammering
ly unresponsive.
"Looks bad." commented Thorpe.
"You'd better get back to your job."
"Yes," agreed Junko helplessly. In
the momentary slack tide of work the
giant had conceived the Idea of search
ing out the driver crew for purposes of
pugilistic vengeance. Thorpe's suspi
cions stung him. but his simple mind
could see no direct way to explanation.
All night long in the chill of a spring
rain and wind storm the Fighting Forty
and certain of the mill crew gave them
selves to the labor of connecting the
slanting stone cribs so strongly by
moans of heavy timbers chained end to
end that the pressure of a break in the
Jam might not sweep aside the de
fenses. Wallace Carpenter, Shorty, the
chore boy, and Anderson, the barn boss,
picked a dangerous passage back and
forth carrying pails of redhot coffee
which Mrs. Hathaway constantly pre
pared. The cold water numbed the
men's hands. With difficulty could
ihey manipulate the heavy chains
through the auger boles with pain they
twisted knots, bored holes. They did
not complain. Behind them tbe Jam
quivered perilously near the bursting
point. From it shrieked aloud the de
mons of pressure. Steadily the river
rose an Inch an hour. The key might
snap at any given moment, they could
not tell. ani with the rush they knew
very well that themselves, the tug and
the disabled pile driver would be swept
from existence. Tbe worst of it was
that the blackness shrouded their ex
perience into uselessness. They were
utterly unable to tell by the ordinary
visual symptoms how near tbe Jam
might be to collapse.

"You stand still!" commanded Dyer
from behind the revolver. "It unfor
tunate for you that you happened
along, because now you'll have to come
with me till this little row is over. You
won't have to stay long. Your logs '11
go out in an hour. I'll Just trouble
you to go into the brush with me for
awhile."
The scaler picked his file from beside
the weakened link.
"What have you against us, anyway,
Dyer?" asked Wallace. His quick mind
had conceived a plan. At the moment
he was,standing near the outermost
*dge of the jam, but now as he spoke
he stepped quietly to the boom log.
Dyer's black eyes gleamed at him
suspiciously, but the movement appear
ed wholly natural in view of the re
turn to shore.
"Nothing," he replied. "I didn't like
your gang particularly, but thafs noth
ing."
"Why do you take such nervy
ebaitoes to iKlure, us?" queried Car
penter.
"Because there's something in It,"
snapped the scaler. "Now, about face.
Mosey!"
Like a flash, Wallace wheeled and
dropped into the river, swimming aB
fast as possible below water before
I his breath should give out The swift
current hurried him away. When at
last he rose for air the spit of Dyer's
pistol caused him no uneasiness. A
moment later he struck out boldly for
shore.
What Dyer's ultimate plan might be
he could not guess. He had stated con
fidently that the Jam would break "in
an hour." He might intend to start it
with dynamite. Wallace dragged him
self* from the water and commenced
breathlessly to run toward the board
ing bouse.
Dyer had already reached shore.
Wallace raised what was left of his
voice in a despairing shout The scaler
mockingly waved his hat, then turned
and ran swiftly and easily toward the
shelter of the woods. At their border

Carpenter's cry brought men to the
boarding house door. From the shad
ows of the forest two vivid flashes cut
the dusk. Dyer staggered, turned com
pletely about, seemed partially to re
cover and disappeared. An instant
later, across the open space where the
scaler had stood, with rifle a-trail, the
Indian leaped in pursuit
