FOR ARKANSAS
JUDGE GRANTS INJUNCTION RE
STRAINING RATE BOARD FROM
ENFORCING NEW LAW.
TAKES SIDE OF RAILROADS.
Says Tariffs Proposed by the Commis
sion Are Unreasonable and
Also Unlawful.
THREE ROADS ARE AFFECTED.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. Judge
Vandevenfer in the United States cir
cuit court, today granted the injunction
requested hy the St. Louis, Iron Moun
tain A Southern and three other rail
roads operating in Arkansas, against the
A rka nsas State Railway commission.
Don’t Want 2-Cent Fare.
The injunction restrains the commis
sion from enforcing the new 2-ceut fare
law and from interfering with the rail
roads in raising their freight rates on in
terstate traffic.
Before Judge Vandevenfer announced
Jus conclusion in tin* case there was a
brief conference between tlie attorneys
and the conn on the valuations of certain
of the railroads, defendant in the matter,
which were still pending when the court
adjourned yesterday. On this account
•fudge- Vandeventcr had no decision pre
pared and merely made an oral an
nouncement of his conclusion, stating
that lie would write a brief opinion this
afternoon with the order in the case.
Commission’s Act Unlawful.
In his oral decision the court held that
the testimony in the present hearing had
demonstrated to him that the rates pro
posed by the Arkansas railway commis
lon were unreasonable, non-compensa
tory and unlawful and could not lie en
forced against the railroad companies.
The court directed that each defendant
give a bond, which will probably bo
about SIOO,OOO each, that, they would
keep a distinct and accurate account,
showing the difference between the tariff
charges of the railroads and what would
have been charged if the rates of the
Arkansas commission had been applied.
The order of tin* court will he fash
ioned after that issued by the same
court in the Chicago Terminal railroad
case which was decided here last spring.
Judge Gives Opinion.
In an ex-cathedra discussion explain
ing the order from the bench. Judge
rVandeventer hold that the laws of Con
gress should take precedence over the
laws of Arkansas in rate matters, where
the interstate regulations infringed on
the intrastate regulations.

Island of Luzon to make a personal in

Cases of the plague are reported de

conquered. A few cases of the disease
have appeared in Manila, coming chiefly
from northern provinces, but the local
health officers have been successful in
preventing the plague from gaining a
foothold here.
There is a marked decline in the num

DEER ISLE, Me., Sept. 3.—Seven
out of a party of ten persons, well
known in educational and social circles,
were drowned when a thirty-five-foot
sloop capsized in Penobscot bay off this
island.

THE RESCUED.
Edward S. Crawley, professor of mathe
matics in University of Pennsylvania, Phil
adelphia.
Henry B. Evans, Mount Holyoke college,
brother of Miss Elizabeth Evans.
Capt. Haskell, in charge of boat. Deer
Isle.
The bodies of Miss Lutie Kellogg and
Miss Evans were recovered. There was
some hope at first that Mr. Hutchins
had been saved, as when last seen he
was making a brave struggle through
the choppy seas toward Barren island
near by. A boat was sent from this
place tonight in an effort to locate him
or his body, but returned unsuccessful,
and Jiis death is now regarded as cer
tain.
The wind was from the southwest and
squally. The sloop was of the “open”
variety. It had no deck forward and no
cabin, as many of the small Maine boats
have, and it contained no ballast, as the
party often weighted the boat down
quite heavily and Capt. Haskell, an ex
perienced navigator in these waters,
thought that the craft would be well bal
anced.
Wind Heels Sloop Over.
All the party were perched high up on
the weather side, as the sloop cut
through the waves with the water almost
coming over the gunwales on the lee
side, when Capt. Haskell gave a shoot of
warning that he was going to tack, and
then threw over the tiller. An unusually
heavy gust struck her, and in a twinkling
the sloop went over on her beam ends
and the party of ten were thrown into
the water.
Capt. Haskell saw the boat’s tender
was right side up and, shouting to Prof.
Crawley and Henry Evans, who were
nearest him, be directed them to make
for the tender, doing so at the same time
himself. Prof. Crawley, however, svill
clung to the overturned sloop, looking for
his wife, while Evans was trying vainly
to locate bis sister.
Men Nearly Exhausted.
The upset, however, had been seen
from Eagle island, not far from the
scene of the accident, and as soon as
possible a sloop was sent out to pick up
the srtrvivors. The rescuing party
reached the tender just in time and
pulled the three exhausted men aboard.
Of the rest of the party but two were
in sight, and the boat was headed for
them. They were Lutie Kellogg and Miss
Evans. They were unconscious, and, al
though the rescuers worked vigorously
over them all efforts to restore life failed.
The bodies were taken ashore.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. li.—Dr. Freder
ick T. Rustin, one of the best known

NEW YORK JEWS
SCORE BINGHAM
DECLARE COMMISSIONER’S STATE
MENT THEY COMMIT MUCH
CRIME IS FALSE.
COURT RECORDS ARE SHOWN.
Figures Quoted Show That Race Is Law
abiding, Compared with Native
Born Americans,
RETRACTION NOW IS DEMANDED
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—lncensed by
Police Commissioner Bingham’s arraign
ment of the Jews in New York who are
responsible, he claims, for ~>o per cent,
of tiie crime in the city—Edward Lauter-
Lach. president of the Liberal Immigra
tion league and prominent in Jewish af
fairs. characterized the police official’s
statement as "an apparition of know
nothingisui," and furnished interesting
figures to prove his contention.
Throughout the city, among prominent
Jewish residents, including Jacob 11-
Schiff and Judge Otto Kosalsky. the con
sensus of opinion was that (Jen. Bing
ham should he forced to retract his state
mem or furnish facts and figures. The
leaders and protectors of Jewish inter
ests expeer to hold a meeting for the
purpose of formulating a plan "to cheek
the mad career of a man who, clothed
with police authority, makes random
statements derogatory to a race that, ac
cording to court records, is both thrifty
and orderly.”
Jews in the Minority.
In tli 3 clerk’s office of the court of
general sessions 4573 indictments were
examined, and, according to Mr. Katz.
000 of them, or 14.5 per cent., were
against Jews, and of this number 4CO. or
09 per cent., resulted in convictions.
Of the thirty-nine persons tried for
murder in the last four years in New
York county seven were foreigners, and
in the list of 114 persons charged with
manslaughter only eight were foreign
ers. In a total of 3077 convictions for
various crimes 2021 were against Amer
icans and 1050 against foreigners.
In the cases of robbery, burglary and
assault, the report says, twice as many
Americans as foreigners appeared in
court. The total number of indicted
Jews for all crimes in 1907 in this coun
ty was less than one to every thousand
Jewish inhabitants, while corresponding
statistics for gentiles showed more than
two in every thousand of population.
Aliens Make Good Showing.
The investigation also showed that
during the past four years 10.347 con
victions showed 0090. or 04 0-10 per
cent, to the discredit of the native horn
and 3057. or 35 4-10 per cent, against
the foreign horn. The table follows:
Race. Convictions. IVt.
Americans 6.690 t 14.(!
Italians 873 s.-l
Russians (Jews) 729 7.4
Germans 569 5.5

All others 502 3.5
The following tallies of percentages
shows criminality among the native horn
and the foreign element in New York
county during the past four years:

Rabbi Joseph A. Silverman said:
‘Mr. Bingham has been indulging in
generalities and he should be forced to
give the exact figures to prove bis state
ments. or else he will be asked to make
a public retraction and apologize to the
race he lias so insulted.”
