The Railroad Magnate Charged With
Violating: Interstate Commerce Law.
INDICTMENT FROM CALIFORNIA.
nfvsy
The Charge Cased on the Issuance, of a
"
Southern Pacific Railroad rasa Ap
plication for a "Warrant of Removal to
San Francisco Released on His Own
Recognizance.
Collis P. Huntington, President of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, wa3 arrested at
New York City on an indictment found by
the Grand Jury of the Northern District of
California, charging him with having com
mitted a crime against the United States
in violation of the provisions of the in
terstate commerce act.. The violation
charged in the indictment is that Mr. Hunt-'
ington i3 guilty of unjust discrimination
under, section 2 of the act in granting
a free pass over all the lines of the Southern'
Pacific read to Frank B. Stone, a resident of
San Francisco. Section 10 of the act, as
amended in 1889, declares such a violation a
misdemeanor and punishable by a fine not
exceeding $5000, or imprisonment in the
penitentiary not exceeding two years, or
both, in the discretion of the court.
Mr. Huntington was taken before United
States Commissioner Shields and admitted.
hi3 identity, and by him committed to the
custody of the United States Marshal, pending
an application to the United States Circuit
Court for a warrant of removal to San Fran
cisco for trial. Application for the warrant
was made before Judge Brown in the Federal
Building by District-Attorney Macfarlane,
and on application of Frederic R. Coudert,
Mr. Huntington's CQunsel, argument on the
application was fixed for a future day. Mr.
Huntington was discharged on his own
recognizance pending the hearing. The at
tention of the Grand Jury was called to the
case by Judge Morrow in the United States
Circuit Court in San Francisco on February
15 last, when the judge charged the Grand
Jury. He said that Frank B. Stone was a
witness in the "strikers' case" in December,
1894, on behalf of the Government. On De
cember 6 he had sworn that he was a lawyer
in San Francisco. He left that city on June
30 on a pleasure trip to Ashland, Oregon, on
the Oregon express, but got no farther than
Red Bluff, the train being stopped. On cross
examination he had said that he was not con
nected with the company in any way, shape,
or manner; he had traveled on passes and
was then traveling on Mr. Huntington's per
sonal pass. While acting as manager of Mr.
De Young's campaign he had blank passes
which he got from the railroad company and
gave away as occasion required. He had no
connection with the company. He also had
a personal pass for the Pullman cars, and
was not connected with that company, in
conclusion Judge Morrow said:
"You will observe that Mr. Stone testifies
that his destination was Ashland, in the State
of Oregon, or to some placo beyond in that
State. He was therefore on a journey that
carried him from this State into another,
bringing his transportation within the law3 of
the United States relating to interstate com
merce. It will be noticed further that Mr.
Stone does not claim to belong to any of the
excepted or privileged classes mentioned in
section 22 of the interstate commerce act.
His claim is thatthe pass was given to him
as a matter of personal favor and friendship.
You will therefore examine all the facts In
this case, and ascertain to what extent the
pass system ha3 been employed, if at all, by
the offlcera of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, in favoring individuals not entitled to
such favors under the law in the matter of
free transportation beyond the boundary of
the StateV

Peculiar Case of a Coppersmith Who Died
In a Baltimore Hospital.
At the meeting of the Medical Society of the
Johns Hopkins University Dr. Arthur Oppea
heimer, first assistant resident physician, re
ported the case of a coppersmith who lately
died at the hospital, Baltimore, Md.. whoso
hair, not only oh his head and mustache, but
all over his body, was of a distinctive green
color. The case is very rare, and was said
by Dr. OV'penheimer to have arisen from the
fact that the patient had not taken the pre
caution employed by his fellow workers, in
1 1 washing himself every evening with a strong
j : solution of soda.1 The coloration was caused
by fine copper oxide dust, which also settled
in his lungs and caused a distressing cough,
that finally resulted In death.
