Railway Receipts Stolen Prohibition
In Georgia Choice For President at
Primaries Pettibone and Moyer
Freed Husband Held as Suspect.
Gift of Defaulted Bonds Refused.
Count Bonl de Castellane of Pails,
from whom his wife, who was Miss
lAnna Gould of New York, was re
ceutly divorced, and Prince Helie de
Sugan, who on several occasions was
reported to be engaged to Mine. Gould,
tad a personal encounter at the
Church of St. Pierre de Chaillet,
while a service to the memory of
Lsdy Stanley Errlngton, a relative of
both men, who recently died in Eng
land, was In progress.
Beginning Inside the church, where
Couut Bonl claims the prince insulted
both him and the Bucred edifice, it
was resumed at the doorway, where
Count Bonl, followed by his brother,
Count Jean de Castellane, overtook
the prince. Count Bonl spat in his
cousin's face. Then came the clash
of canes, followed by a rough-and-tumble
fight on the pavement, which end
ed In the gutter, where the men finally
were separated by a big butcher.
Count Bonl at the moment of Inter
vention was holding down the well
nigh insensible prince, while Jean, ac
cording to eye-wltnesos, was adminis
tering to him a severe kicking.
When the police arrived the butch
er was holding the two principals iu the
fight, who were covered with mud.
The prince was bleeding profusely
from a wound In the right temple
where he had been struck by Count
Honl's heavy stick. With the butch
ers hand on his collar Bonl was har
anguing a crowd which had gathered
as to why he had spat In the prince's
face.
The police Invited the two men to
go to the station house, and this, after
Bonie disputing, they agreeik to. All
three of them, bespattered with mud,
accompanied the police, and followed
by several thousand persons, they
marched off to the statlou where they
made 'explanations."
Both Count Bonl nnd the prince
gave their own version of the quar
rel, each claiming that the other was
th( aggressor, but the prince alone
lodged a complaint, charging the
brothers with assault.
ftobbery of Street Railway Receipts.
Two men, Frank Whitney and
George Carlisle, are now under arrest
tit Rochester. N. Y as a sequel to
the robbery by three men in a big
black automobile of Sodus Bay cur
No. 112, Tuesday, and their escape
with a strong box containing $2,8"!1
of the receipts of tho Rochester Street
Railway company. Both men are
locked up at police headquarters on
charges of. grand larceny, first do
Bgree, and accused also of complicity
in the highway robbery. A third
man suspected Is at large, but may be
rested any time.
The plunder was taken to No. 37
Clifton street, the home of the brother-in-law
of one of the party. When the
house was searched a suitcase was
found In which was all the missing
money, a lot of silverware nnd a set
of burglar tools. When George Car
lisle, later entered the house, and saw
the detectives and sheriff's officers, he
fired two shots at Detective Wiedman,
and In a hand-to hand fight was badly
beaten before he surrendered. The
detectives were unhurt by the shots.
The silverware bears the marks of
tho Fifth Avenue hotel In New York
city. Drills, bitts, a bottle supposed
to contain nitre-glycerine, nnd time
fuses, were also found In the room.
The police think that Carlisle Is a
New York ycggnian, as there have
been a number of yeggmen robberies
about the this city recently.
It. Is also thought Carlisle Is Impli
cated in the tecent yeggmen's robbery
at Port Byron, N. Y. He is about 20
years old. Whitney Is about, 25.
' Prohibition In Georgia.
The most notable feature of the
first day of prohibition In Georgia was
I'lie refusal of Judge W. R. Newman,
lin the United Slates circuit court,
at Atlanta, to grant an injunction
pending litigation which would pre
vent the operation of the prohibition
law. Papers in the case wero filed
late Tuesday on behalf of two brew
cries, one in Chattanooga and the
other in Cincinnati. Judge Newman
simply filed a memorandum redding
bs follows:
"After careful consideration an In
junction pendente lite will not he
granted. -This being true, it Is unnec
essary to call on the defendants to
show cause."
The lawyers for the plaintiffs said
Hint the decision of Judge Newman
did not have the effort of throwing
the proceedings out of court, but that
ihe case would come up In the regular
order of business and that It was ex
pected that it would be ready for trial
in about two months.
In the meantime prohibition Is in
effect In every district of Georgia.
Notwithstanding predictions that
the enforcement of the law on the
first day of the new year, which is a
recognized holiday In all parts of the
fctate, would bring about disturbances
there was not the slightest disorder.
The saloonmen In Atlanta evidently
believed that the legal aspect of the
slt-iation wll not have the effect of
putting them back into business, for
they were busy ripping out fixtures

and carting their goods to storehouses
or to railroads for shipment to statei
where liquor Is allowed to be sold.

secretary of war and candidate for
the Republican nomination for presl

liorters of Senator Joseph Benson

Pettibone and Moyer Freed.
An end of the prosecution of (he
men charged with the murder ol
former Governor Frank Steunenberg
except he cases of Harry Orchard
and Jack Simpkins, came with the ac
quittal at Boise, Ida., of George A
Pettibone and the discharge of Charles
II. Moyer, president of the Western
Federation of Miners, both charged
with conspiracy with William D. Hay
wood to murder Steunenberg. Moyei

not be tried.
The case of Orchard, confessed as
sassin of Steunenberg and chief wit

when it will probably be finally dis

The failure of another alliance of
the English nobility with an American
woman of wealth became public in
London when the Countess of Yar
mouth, who was Miss Alice Thaw of
Pittsburg, a daughter of Mrs. William
Thaw and sister of Harry K. Thaw,
whose second trial for the murder of
Stanford White began Monday In
New York city, applied to the di
vorce court for an annulment of her
marriage to the Earl of Yarmouth.
The court has ordered that the pro
ceedings be held in camera and the
papers are being kept secret. The
only Inkling obtainable of the charges
preferred is a statement to the effect
that the nature of the medical evi
dence to be given makes a public
hearing Inadvisable.
Gift of Defaulted Bonds Refused.
Governor Hughes of New York
has declined to accept for collection
under a law passed by the legislature
of 19H5, $1W),000 in defaulted North
Carolina stnte bonds. This fact be
came known when the committee
which offered the bonds made public
corespondence with the governor re
garding the offer In his reply to the
committee's appeal to begin such an
action, Governor Hughes says he does
not deem It proper for him to accept
gifts of claims In order that they may
bo prosecuted against a sister state.
Tho committee which made the offer
js one which for some time has been
endeavoring to have the Btate press
tho claim for collection on these
bonds.

LEGISLATURE Of 1908
James W. Wadswortfiflr., Re
Elected Speaker. '"
Edwin A. Merritt, Jr., of 8f.'llawrence
Leader of Republican Majority and
George M. Palmer of Schoharie
, 'J Minority Leader Bills Introduced
In Senate and Assembly.
The New York state legislature of
190S convened Wednesday, completed
the necessary organization, heard the
tcond annual message of Governor
Hughes and adjourned until 8:i!0 p.
ill. on Monday, when the real grind
01' .the session was begun. This pre
liminary recess is unusually short and
indicated the desire of the lenders to
get promptly to work and reach Until
adjournment at the earliest possible
date.
Colonel Archie E. Baxter of Che
mung, after twelve years service as
clerk of the assembly, closed his func
tions in that capacity by calling the
house to order, presiding during the
re-selection of Speaker James W.
Wadsworth, Jr., of Livingston county,
and then giving way to Ray B. Smith
of Onondaga, for six years his assist
ant, who was elected clerk in bis
place In accordance with the action of
Tuesday night's Republican caucus.
The prayer at the opening of the
senate session was offered by Right
Rev. William Croswell Doane, the
venerable Protestant Episcopal bishop
of Albany.
The senate got to work at once, and
nearly a score of bills were Intro
duced. The assembly consumed sev
eral hours in effecting permanent or
ganization and drawing seats.
Edwin A Merritt, Jr., of St. Law
rence will be leader of the Republican
m&Jorlty on the assembly floor. This
became apparent when In the assign
ment of seats he took that which by
immemorial custom is accorded to the
majority leader. Assemblyman Phillips
of Allegany, his rival for the leader
ship, will be chairman of the commit
tee on judiciary.
Assemblyman George M. Palmer of
Schoharie, as the choice of the Demo
cratic caucus for speakership, re
turns after a year's absence from the
assembly to the position of minority
leader.
Chanler and Wadsworth Spoke.
Iu opening the session of the sen
ate Lieutenant Governor Chanler
said a few words of a complimentary
character, expressing the hope that.
the coming session would prove pleas
ant to the members of the senate and
profitable for the people.
In tho course of his brief speech of
acceptance Speaker Wadsworth said:
"The people of the state this year had
but one channel through which they
could express their opinions on the
general policy of the state govern
ment, and that was In the election of
the assembly. This house composed
of members chosen in 150 districts
throughout the state constitutes the
latest and most authoritative expres
sion of the public will. We are ex
pected to take up our duties promptly
and to conduct this session In a man
ner befitting the popular branch of the
government. With judgment un
worped by any outside Influences, ow
ing no allegiance save to the people
who have sent us here to represent
them, we can make the session of
1908 a success."
Sixteen bills were Introduced in th6
senate, most of them of more than lo
cal Importance. Senator Saxe intro
duced the hill of the Walnwrljht Na
tional Guard commission, designed to
conform the National Guard organiza
tion with that of the United States
army.
The Governor's Recommendations.
Among the recommendations iu the
overuor'8 message are the follow
ing: The available balance or surplus
In the state treasury on Sept. 30,
1907, amounted to $13,78,U8.47 as
against (11,291,4-15.29 at the end of the
previous year.
The state debt increased during the
last fiscal year from $10,(iU,CG0 tc
(17,.21)0,Gi;o. This was due to the is
sue of bonds for canal and highway
purposes.
The amount of canal Improvement
work now under contract amounts to
(22.4O0.O00, contracts have been
awarded during the past year amount
lng to (7,007,000, iind plans have been
finished for the award of contracts
'amounting to (7,042,ouo. The state
engiueer estimates that plans for the
entire work will be completed in from
ten to twelve months. It is of mani
fest 'importance that this work should
proceed with all possible speed con
sistent with expert care.
During the past year 385 miles of
state roads have been built, and 5G4
miles in addition have been contract
ed for. Plans are ready for 1 ,093
miles of road. It Is understood that
of these last bids will lie received in
January for 201 miles and that the re
maining 892 miles represent roads for
which the counties have already ap
propiated their "hare of the cost of
construction, but for which contracts
cannot be let until appropriation of
the state's share has been made by
the legislature.
Banks and Trust Companies.
The recent financial disturbance has
directed attention to the Importance
of amending the law relating to banks
and trust companies. There is much
reason for gratification in the fact
that for the most part our institu
tions were found to be sound and
that' only a few were compelled to
jive way despite an unparalleled
stnln. But every practicable means
should be adopted to prevent repeti
tion ot reiirr-hensiDie practices and to
assure the proper management of the
financial iustUmiouj chartered and
supervised by the state, upon whose
stability and prosperity the interests
of our people !n every walk of llfo
So largely depend
In otdrr th-.-.t tne matter might be
considered wl'h appropriate prompt
v r 1 In the life'ht of expert opinion,
. ted six eminent bankers, rep
"7, respectively the different
. - of institutions, to collate facts,
to uceive suggestions and to express
their views with reference to neces
sary changes In tho law of the state.
I submit to you their valuable re
port, inviting your most careful con
sideration of its recommendations and
lilso of those contained in the report
of the superintendent of banks.
It is advised that there should be
an enlargement and more careful defi
nition of the powers of the superin
tendent of banks with reference to
the organization of banks and trust
companies. the establishment of
branches of either and mergers or the
control of one Institution by anotiier.
The Insurance Law.
The provisions of the Insurance law
were designed to insure conservative
management and to prevent resort to
wasteful methods and the recurrence
of the evils which had been dis
closed. There is no business more
closely related to the welfare of the
people, especially to the thrifty nnd
provident, and none which Should be
more carefully safeguarded. L recom
mend to the legislature that, while
any suggestions of amendments
should receive proper consideration,
there should be extreme caution in
making any changes, and no changes
should be made unless It clearly ap
pears that they are needed to con
serve the interests of the policy liold
ers. I also call your attention to the ad
visability ot providing for the liqui
dation under tho supervision of the
superintendent of insurance of insol
vent Insurance corporations in the
same manner as Is proposed for the
liquidation of banking institutions.
Public Service Commissions.
The public service commissions law
has provided for the investigation and
redress of grievances In connection
with the operation of railroad, gas and
electrical corporations. The neces
sity ot having such an administrative
board, with adequate powers, so that
complaints may be heard and deter
mined upon their merits, nnd that
there may be suitable machinery for
enforcing the rules of law requiring
Impartial nnd proper service upon rea
sonable terms, according to the ex
igencies of each particular case, can
not be gainsaid No change is sug
gested In policy or structure, but such
amendments as experience may show
to be advisable to Improve the text,
to facilitate administration or more
fully to carry out the Intent, of the
act should be supplied.
I recommend, however, an enlarge
ment of the scope of tho act. In view
of the tasks to be assumed with re
spect to corporations already under
supervision it was not thought best
at the outset to extend the act to the
dher corporations. It should now be
extended to telephone nnd telegraph
companies, and they should be brought
under appropriate regulation as to
rates, service and other matters simi
lar to that which obtains In the case
of the corporations at present sub
ject to the law.
Simplified Ballot and Primary Reform.
I renew the recommendation for the
adoption of a simplified form of bal
lot, without the party column, In
which the names of candidates for the
respective offices shall appear but
once grouped under the names of the
offices.
The urgent need for primary reform
Is generally recognized. There is
wide difference between effective or
ganization in the interest of the party
and the misuse of such organization
for purely selfish purposes.
Agricultural Recommendations.
No effort Should be spared to con
serve the development of the agricul
tural Interests of the state. Impor
tant 'provision has been made for in
struction In agriculture and In veteri
nary science at the colleges establish
ed in connection with Cornell univers
ity nnd for scientific experimentation
at the agricultural experiment sta
tion sit Geneva, and through these
foundations steadily increasing bene
fits will accrue to the people of the
slate.
One of the most beneficial statutes
of recent years Is the tenement 'house
act. affecting the conditions under
which so many of our people live in
the crowded sections of our great
cities. I recommend the passage of
such supplementary legislation as will
strengthen the law.
During the past year 4(1,150 acres
of forest land have been purchased
and contracted for by the land pur
chasing board, making the total land
held by the style 1,518. 450 acres, of
which 1 154, "Nil acres are In tho Adl
rondacks nnd the remainder are in
the Catskllls. It would be difficult 1e
uaine any matter of greater Import
ance to the people than the conserva
tion of our forests. To this end the
state should largely extend Its pur
chases and so far as possible avoid the
ipcreased cost which will be entailed
by delay.
I'nder an act at Ihe last session an
inquiry Is now In progress through
the water supply commission with re
gard to tho undeveloped water powers
of the state. Means should be pro
vided to enable this investigation to
be completed with thoroughness.
Champlain-Hudson Celebration.
Fitting preparations should be marie
(for the celebration in the year lltult
of the three hundredth anniversaries
of the discoveries of lnke Chainplain
nnd the Hudson river. The former is
an event of interstate anil Interna
tional importance, and a commission
representing this slate is co-operating
with a Vermont commission in per
fecting suitlile plans. It is hoped
that the federal government will give
assistance and that tliron li its offices
