Of
Charged in Complaint That the Stat

Officials Had Criticised the Commis

Attack.
'Chicago, Nov. 12.—The railroads are
trying to curtail the power which the
Interstate commerce commission is as
suming In the administration of the
tflfety appliance law. Before Judge*
Grpsscup, linker and Seaman the Wa
bash road and other roads which have
Ifcently been fined by the federal
courts for violations presented argu
ments on appeals from the judgment
of the courts in which the cases were
originally heard.
(The contention of the railroads is
that the commission has no power to
Otder safety appliances upon engines
Mid equipment which are not used in
Interstate traffic. They therefore de
sired to be relieved of the com
TO

•fton's supervision and regulation in
so far as it Is being applied to equip
ment and power which does not ac
tually apply between the various
States.
Although power and equipment used
i# freight yards cannot be said to be
•trietly engaged In Interstate com
merce the contention of the govern
ment lawyers is that they are an
aentlal adjunct of interstate cot
merce. Although It did not so appear
in the an moats of counsel it
listed that the railroads are
•ft Contesting the Fines Impose#
because they believe that the inter
state commerce commission is unjust
Hi its enforcement of the law. The
railroads, according to several operat
ing officials, would be perfectly wlll
teg to submit all their cars and equip
ment to the Jurisdiction and super
Vision of the commission, provided
tke law was being enforced fairly. It
is claimed, however, that the inspec
tors of the commission are nearly all
former railway employee, who are
members of the various labor unions,
Slid that they are purposely hunting
if technical violations of the law and

It Is even claimed that the attack
on certain railroads whose.officials
been free In their criticism of
the of the commission has been
persistent. Tip to the present time it
fcas been the custom of the railroads
to plead guilty when the violations
fcave been technical and throw them
selves upon the mercy of the court
Persistent fines, however, in such
flues, the court apparently having no
discretion In the matter, have deter
mined the railroads to resist the as

PLAN TO NULLIFY ELECTION
Chamberlain May Be Defeated for
Oregon Senatorship,
Portland, Ore., Nov. J2.—What Is
probably the long looked for scheme
to nullify the popular nomination of
Governor George E. Chamberlain, a
Democrat, by a Republican electorate
commanding about 25,000 majority in
this state,- has, it is thought, mate
rialized.
Fifty-one of the legislators who will
participate in tho coming session of
the next legislature, which will elect
a United States senator, are bound by
"statement No. 1," a pledge that the
legislator will support for United
States senator the nominee receiving
the highest number of votes at the
last previous general election.
The plan is to circulate tor signa
ture by the electors throughout the
state documents absolving the legls
latorB who signed the pledge from ad
hering to their promise. The views
of the promoters are expressed by
the following statement made by one
of them:
"We are convinced that a state
which gave Taft a plurality of nearly
25,000 does not want a Democratic
United States senator.
Slayer at Age of Eighty-four.
Viroqua, Wis., Nov. 12.—In a fit of
Insane jealousy Eland Olson, aged
eighty-four, killed his wife, aged
eighty-three, with an axe and then
attempted suicide. Olson on fre
quent occasions recently, it Is report
ed, had upbraided his wife, claiming
she was receiving attention* from a
farmhand. The husband cannot re
cover.
CONTAINS SEVERAL
JOVEL PROVISIONS
sJ
Bill for "Universal Suffrage"
In Hungary,
Budapest, Nov. 12.—The bill pro
viding for universal suffrage in Hun
gary was presented to the chamber of
deputies by Count Andrassy, minister
of the interior. It contains many
novel provisions that are designed, as
the preamble points out, to "prevent
the political power from falling
wholly into the hands of illiterates or
those not In a position to use it ln the
interests of the country, but to retain
it in the hands of the intelligent sec
tions of the population." The bill
provides that every Hungarian over
twenty-four years of age, who has re
sided In any commune for the space
of one year, is entitled to vote. Illit
erates, however, will be assembled in
groups of ten and each group will
have the power to select a single
elector. As a result of this system
these classes, characterized in the
preamble as "particularly accessible
to the Incitement of agitators," will
have only one vote for every ten men
As a further means of "preserving the
ascendancy of the intelligent classes'
the bill provides for a system of plu
ral voting, by which all electors over
thirty-two years of age who have ful
filled their military duty and who
have three children are given two
votes. Workmen who have spent
five years at the tame trade, as well
as workmen who have graduated from
specified classes of the secondary
schools, also are given a double vote.
Electors who have completed the full
course of the secondary schools or
who pay $20 in direct annual taxation
are given the high privilege of voting
three times.

PENDING APPEAL OF CASE

New York, Nov. 12.—James B.
Duke, president of the American To
bacco company, has issued a letter to
the stockholders and bondholders of
that company calling their attention
to the recent decision of the United
States circuit court of this city that
the company was a combination in re

decision Mr. Duke announced that the
business of the company will proceed

declared, that the court found that
"our methods and success have not
injured the consumers of tobacco

NOT. 11.—Mayor

the Pay-Enter Fare Box company
when requested to do so In the re

lowing the refusal of the mayor to
produce the desired books attorneys
for the Central Trust company of
New York, which is pressing the re
ceivership proceedings, threatened to
have the mayor cited for contempt.
Attorney Cannon, representing the
trust company, declared it was neces

company in order to find out just
where tho latter company stood in
relation to the Municipal Traction
company.
In the hearing Mayor Johnson ad
mitted that he and President Du Pont
of the Traction company owned all
the stock in the Pay-Enter Fare Box
company. The Municipal Traction
company had met all the expenses of
the fare box experiments, he said,
and would have stood the loss If the
fare box company had been a failure,

NO OPEN FIGHT LIKELY.
Cannon's Friends Encoursgsd by ths
Election.
Washington, Nov. 11.—Following
the arrival in the city of the Repub
lican members of the ways and
means committee of the house for
the tariff hearing and many other
Republican congressmen to attend to
departmental business postponed un
til after election the selection of the
speaker of the Sixty-flrst congress
was a subject of keen discussion.
None of the arrivals cared to come
out openly in opposition to the re
election of Speaker Cannon, while
members who have been closely allied
with Mr. Cannon during his occu
pancy of the chats assert positively
that there will be no opposition to
him by the time the Republicans meet
to caucus on the speakership.
Mr. Cannon's friends claim to be
greatly encouraged by the election.
Not only did the speaker himself re
ceive a handsome plurality in his dis
trict, where a bitter fight was waged
against him, but they point out that
many of the members who had an
nounced their opposition to Ms re
election as speaker met with defeat at
the polls. The defeat of Representa
tives Edgar C. Ellis of Kansas City,
Mo., and J. F. Boyd of Nebraska,
after they had declared their opposi
tion to the speaker, is taken by the
speaker's friends as an indication
that the people do not condemn Mr.
Qanpon.

PIGEON PHOTOGRAPHS.
Qerman Apothecary Trains tho Birds
to Take Picture*.
Dr. Neubronner, court apothecary to
Emperor William of Germany, has
been experimenting for years with
carrier pigeons, putting these birds to
many uses not Intended by nature.
Ills latest Invention, which the pat
ent office In Berlin has pfotected, is a
small, qoeerly constructed camera
which he fastens on the breast of a
pigeon and which is so arranged that
photographs may be obtained while
the bird Is in flight.
The structure of the camera and the
method of fastening It are his secret,
and so is the delicate arrangement em
ployed for opening and shutting the
lenses for time exposures, says a Ber
lin correspondent of the New York
World. The Inventor claims for his
apparatus a great future, especially as
It will be an Invaluable aid to the sol
dier In time of war.
Neubronner says he can get a pic
ture of the interior of a fortress in this
way, and the military authorities ln
Berlin are going to let him experiment
on the fortress of Spandau, outside
Berlin. Several blrdseye views he has
obtained of Interiors of dismantled
forts have been shown to the authori
ties, who are said to be surprised at
the results. The pictures are in no
sense perfect, but they give complete
Indications of all Important positions.
Neubronner claims that his pigeon
photographs will be as useful to the
general ln the field as the balloon. The
proportion of successes to falUues he
reckons as three to seven.

It is iointed out that the continent of
Australia, with twice the area of Eu

the minimum wage* are 8 shillings, or
$2. a day and expert labor makes more
than It requires, there are very few un
employed, and these simply will not
work because they can live sumptu
ously on what they obtain from their
families. They can secure a hearty
meal, called a "counter lunch," with a
pint of ale. for threepence. This lunch
is given once a day, and the men may
eat of roast beef, mutton, tongue,
cheese, bread, etc., ad lib., the proven
der being within their own reach and
free to them. To disguise their Idle
method of life they call themselves the
"unemployed" and, having nothing to
