TO TEST LEGALITY OF THE AHTi-AHARCHlST HCT United States Supreme Court Hears Argument in the John Turner Case.

WASHINGTON April 6. The first case calculated to elicit an opinion from the United States Supreme Court on the provision of the act of March 3. 10O3, prohibiting the landing in the United States of theoretical Anarchists from other countries, was argued in that court to-day. The case la that of John Turner, an Knglis-hman. who soon after landing In New Yor.k-Iast October was taken into custody at the instigation of the board of immigration and ordered deported. Secretary Cortelyou artlrmed the rinding. The Circuit Court for the Southern district of New York refused to grani a writ of habeas corpus and sustained the constitutionality of the act in question. The case was argued for Turner by Clarence S. Darruw und IMgar I,. Masters, and for the government by Assistant Attorney General Melieynolds. The sicltic Charge against Turner Is that of advocating anarchistic doctrine, but it is not alleged that he has recommended the assassination rulers iu in United States or elsewhere.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. April 6. Republican leaders here have the Impression that President Roosevelt will have much to say about the selection of the temporary and permanent chairman of the Republican national convention in Chicago, and that it is his wish that former Secretary of War Ellhu Root shall be temporary chairman and Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, permanent chairman. According to the Ieadeis, It is the policy of tho party to have these chairmanships selected by the Republican national committee in all cases where there is a contest over the liomlnatlon for the presidency, and this va. done in 1MH5. when Senator Fairbanks was named as temporary chairman at St. Louis and Senator Thurston for permanent chairman.

In lf00. however. President McKinley's nomination by acclamation was assured, and he expressed a desire that Senator Wolcott, of .Colorado, be temporary chairman and Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, permanent chairman. The same policy will be followed this year, and it is understood that Mr. Roosevelt hopes to see the selections made of the most fit men East and West to sound the keynote of the campaign in the convention. 'An effort has been made to bring about the selection of younger men for the places, and this gave currency to the idea that Representative Cousins, of Iowa, would be temporary chairman and Senator Reveridge, of Indiana, permanent chairman. It is by no means uncertain that some part of this plan may be carried out in the event of one or both of the men who are understood to be the lirst choice of President Roosevelt not desiring to serve. It Is a fact recognized by the party leaders that not only should the man who Is already named In advance, so far as Republican sentiment can do that, as the party leader this year, should have the naming of the men who will speak for the party in the convention, explaining what has been done by the party during the past four years, and announcing the party policy for the coming four years. It is regarded as Important that the foremost men of the party shall be put forward for these high and influential stations. It Is known that the subject has been canvassed to some extent with the President by the leaders who have to do with the making up of the programme for the national convention, and that the selection of the chairman will be made from the four men named.

There were, he said, forty bills pending in Congress relating to Alaska, all of which needed the care of an interested representative of the Territory. He said Alaska had a population of G3.592 people under the census of l:). Now there were between 75,000 and 0,0 R) people. The property value of the Territory he placed at $1SS.i00.0o0. Mr. Cushmati emphasized the provision of the bill requiring the delegate to be elected Instead of being appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, declaring no appointed delegate should take his seat in the House. The House adjourned at 5:13 o'clock with the Alaskan delegate bill still pending. Law-abiding people OF UTAH PROTEST

Attorneys Present Argument Involving Interpretation of the Extradition Treaty. HIGH COURT TO DECIDE

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Scnator Burrows presented to the Senate to-day protests from more than C00 of the "law-abiding people of Utah" against the declaration of President Joseph Smith, of the Mormon Church, that they are broadminded enough to consent to "the shocking violations of law and public decency which he confesses to have committed." The protests declare that polygamists have surrounded themselves with an impenetrable wall of secrecy in their perpetration of misdemeanors, and that the veil has been lifted( in part for the first time in the testimony given by church leaders during the Investigation of the Smoot case before the Senate committee on privileges and elections. Th non-Mormons call for a continuance of the investigation, and say that further disclosures equally as startling may bo expected. Sir. rnyne Leaven for Old Point. WASHINGTON. April 6. Postmaster General Payne left here to-night on the Norfolk boat for a period of recuperation at Old Point Comfort, Va. Though considerably better than he has been since his illness llrst confined him to his bed, he Is far from being a well man. It is hoped that the seashore air will benetlt him. Accompanying Mr. Payne were Mrs. Payne, Miss Jones, his niece, und a maid.

WASHINGTON, April 6. Argument was heard to-day in the case of Thomas Walshe, or James Lynchehaun, involving an interpretation of the extradition treaty with Great Britain. Lynchehaun is an Irishamn, who, while residing on Achill island in 1S94, made a murdcrou3 assault on his. landlady, Mrs. Agnes McDowell, and was sentenced to imprisonment for life. Escaping In 1M3, he came to the United States. When arrested in Indianapolis, Ind., he denied his identity, but the courts held that he had not succeeded in establishing that he was not the man wanted. The United States commissioner, however, refused the man's extradition on the ground that the crime was political and therefore not extraditable under the treaty. The question before the Supreme Court, therefore, deals especially with the character of offense. The case was argued for Lynchehaun by Ferdinand Winter and for the British government by Charles Fox. Mr. Fox contended hat the crime was in the nature of an ordinary assault with Intent to kill, while Mr. Winter argued that it was the result of resentment against landlords in general and therefore political.

NAVY WILL CONTROL SUBMARINE BOATS

WASHINGTON. April 6. While Congress has been wrestling with the question as to whether the army or the navy should manage submarine torpedo boats used for harbor defense, the joint army and navy board, composed of the hlghtst representatives of the army general staff and the naval general board, have adjusted the matter to their own satisfaction. Without a dissenting vote they decided to intrust the management of the submarines entirely to the navy. This decision is advisory rather than directive, for It will require action by Congress to become effective.

WICHITA, Kan., April 6. Most of the delegates to the Democratic state convention, which will open here to-morrow, have arrived and many caucuses were held tonight. The dividing issue is whether instructions for W. R. Hearst shall be given to the delegates. An anti-Hearst delegate declares there Is sixty-five majority against Hearst. The Hearst men give no figures, but claim a majority. The anti-Hearst men are said to have decided to attempt to stampede the convention to-morrow to ex-Senator W. A. Harris. If there Is any doubt of their ability to defeat Hearst instructions they will appeal to State pride and name Harris. It is said David Overmytr, of Topeka, will place Mr. Harris in nomination. The state central committee has fixed Aug. 3 as the date for the convention to nominate State officers. It will be held at Topeka.

Russell, the assistant attorney general, who came from Washington to assist In the transfer of the Panama canal property, it has been arranged that the signing of the contract whereby the United States will acquire the ownership of the Panama canal shall take place at the United States embassy, which Is nominally American soil. The date of the signing is not fixed, but probably it will be about April 25, following the ratification of the agreement by the stockholders of the company. Some of the officials of the company thought that an informal handing over of the effects, archives, etc., of the company to the representatives of the United States would suffice, but the American officials preferred the execution of a formal contract completely covering the transfer and safeguarding all American Interests. This contract is being drawn up in conformity with all the requirements of both the French and American laws. . Formal appeal against the recent decision of the court in favor of th sale of the concession and other property of the company has not yet been entered, but the Americans are proceeding to carry out the transfer without reference to the appeal or other dilatory proceedings.

Presence of Spain's Monarch in Hotbed of Republicanism Creates Alarm.

BARCELONA. Spain, April 6. King Alfonso arrived here to-day for a fortnight's visit to Catalonia. The visit of the King to Barcelona, the hotbed of Republicanism, has been causing the greatest disquietude in official quarters, since it was feared the Republicans and Socialists would seize on the opportunity to vent on their King their hatred of Premier Mauara, whos? strong methods of dealing with the strike leaders have made him exceedingly unpopular. Largo numbers of Anarchists and other suspects were arrested during the past week, and as a precautionary measure a cruiser, three gunboats and a large force of gendarmes -were sent to Barcelona. One encounter between Republicans and students, which was easily controlled, alone marred to-day's festivities. Thankn for Hie President. WASHINGTON, April 6.
