Commodity Clause of Hepburn
Act Declared Unconstitutional.
Taft and Bryan at Same Banquet
Eucharlstlc Congress Fleet at Wesl
Australia Aeronaut Fell to Death
Wrights Solve Aerial Problem Bel
mont Ships His Horses to Europe.
Declaring it to be drastic, harsh and
unreasonable and an Invasion of the
rights of the slates, and therefore re
pugnant to the constitution, the Unit
ed States circuit court for the East
ern district of Pennsylvania at Phil
adelphia dismissed the Butts of the
federal government to enforce the
commodities clause of the Hepburn
railroad act against the anthracite
coal-carrying railroads of this state.
Judges George Gray and George J.
Dallas llled opinions dismissing the
suits, at.d Judge Joseph Buflington
dissented but did not file an opinion.
The commodities clause prohibits
railroad companies to transport in in
terstate commerce any article of com
modity manufactured, mined or pro
duced by them or under their author
ity. The case was argued in Juno,
United States Attorney Genernl Bon
aparte delivering the principal argu
ment for the government.
The effect or the commodities
clause, If constitutional, would be to
conline the mining of anthracite coal
by the railroads for use In Pennsyl
vania only, or compel the railroads to
sell all the mining property they are
Interested in, either directly or indi
rectly. The principal opinion was written
by Judge Gray, who as president of
the unthraclte strike commission, has
an intimate knowledge of the mining
of hard conl and of the many ramifi
cations In the ownership of the coal
mines.
Taft and Bryan at Same. Board.
For the first time In the history
of modern politics, two rival can
didates for the presidency of the
Vnlted States will meet at the same
board and address the same aud
ience, when William II. Taft. Re
publican, of Ohio, and William J.
Bryan, Democrat, of Nebraska, are to
be the guests of honor at the annual
banquet of the Chicago Association of
Commerce at the Auditorium on the
evening of Oct. 7.
This announcement was made at
the headquarters of the Chicago As
sociation of Commerce, which organ
ization had already received assur
ances of the presence of the two pres
idential nominees on different days
at the third convention of the Lakes
to the Gulf Deep Waterway associa
tion, for which the Association of
Commerce will act as host.
It already had been announced that
Mr. Taft would open the convention
on the afternoon of Oct. 7 and that
Mr. Bryan would close it on Oct. 9
and that Mr. Taft would be the guest
of honor at the banquet on the even
ing of Oct. 7. Mr. Bryan's acceptance
of the dinner Invitation, however, as
suring a notable occasion, came as a
pleasant surprise.
The long distance telephone figured
prominently in the negotiations to se
cure the presence of Mr. Bryan at the
banquet. The invitailon had been un
der serious consideration by Norman
E Mack, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, for some time and
at a late hour at night he called up
Mr. Bryan, then at Terre Haute, Ind.,
on the long distance telephone.
Mr. Bryan, who had retired for the
night, arose, dressed himself and an
swered the call. He was Informed,
as Mr. Taft had been, that the ban
quet would be a non-political one and
that It would be held under the au
spices of a non-partisan organization.
He readily agieed to attend. The
deep waterway b project Is favored by
the leaders of both parties and is not
therefore a BUbject over which any po
litical discussion is expected.
Moderate Expansion In Trade.
The advance of the fall season and
the notable enlargement of the move
ment, of Bpring wheat, other cereals
and cotton to market at good prices
have 4iiade for a further moderate ex
pansion in jobbing and retail trade
and collections.
This Is especially marked at West
ern, Pacific coast and Southern cen
ters, but the point Is made that agri
cultural sections have done better
relatively than large industrial cities
in the matter of retail trade, possibly
because of warm weather or the re
duced purchasing power of city work
ers and the high prices paid for farm
products.
Industries, too, have shown some
Improvement, notable In this respect
being coal and lumber Interests. There
Is also more doing at the paper mills.
. In the textile trades little change Is
noted, while the crop situation is
vrather irregular.
Money Is firmer, although still won
derfully easy for this season of the
year.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Opponents of Governor Hughes Unable
to Agree Upon a Candidate.
Saratoga, Sept. 15. Ellhu Root, boc
retary of state of the United States,
was the central figure In the first ses
sion of the Republican state conven
tion. It Is no less than truth to Bay that
the welcome given Secretary Root and
the demonstrations of approval which
Inlerpersed and followed his speech
surpassed In enthusiasm If not In dura
tion those which were accordede upon
the mention of the names of President
Roosevelt, Governor Hughes or the
presidential nominee, William H. Tafl
himself.
Secretary Root's speech was of con
siderable length, upwards of 11.00C
words, and consumed a little less than
an hour and a half In delivery. The
speaker followed closely the text of
the speech as prepared for publica
tion, but shortened it somewhat In
actual delivery by omission of explan
atory portions of certain paragraphs,
making, however, no changes of a
material character.
The great body of delegates and al
ternates, numbering more than 2,000
persons, and the people In the galler
ies, which were well filled but at no
time crowded, heard the speech with
close attention and evident approval.
It dealt almost exclusively with na
tional matters, but began with a trib
ute to the work of Governor Hughes
and the state administration in gen
eral, to which the convention respond
ed with applause and cheers, lack
ing not so much In apparent volume or
duration as in unanimity of participa
tion. In fact, the cheering which greeted
the name of Governor Hughes, start
ed by the bulk of the New York county
delegation, was joined in only by scat
tered up-state delegations and small
groups of Individuals here and there;
most of the delegates sat grim and
silent, taking no part In the demon
stration which lasted less than Bixty
seconds. Indeed, the greatest portion
of the cheering came from the gallery.
An amusing episode during the
speech occurred when Mr. Root re
pudiated the inference, which he at
tributed to Mr. Bryan, that the enorm
ous popular majority in 1904 was ob
tained by corrupt use of money. The
convention was heartily cheering this
sentiment when the hand broke out
with the familiar strains of "Arrah
Gowan, you're only foolln." The
crowd "caught on" almost Instantly
and began to laugh. Mr. Root evident
ly did not recognize the tune and
Beemed perplexed and even annoyed
by the general laughter. It quickly
subsided and he proceeded without
seeing the Joke at all.
A feature of the session was the In
troduction by Charles W. Anderson of
New York, the colored member-at-large
of the state committee, who is a depu
ty collector of internal revenue for
the second district, of an extended res
olution paying glowing tribute to the
character and public service of Mr.
Taft and more particularly extending
to the presidential nominee the con
gratulations of the convention on his
51st birthday which occurs today. The
resolution was adopted with a shout
and the secretary, Lafayette B. Glea
son, was Instructed to telegraph it to
Mr. Taft.
Anti-injunctions.
Attorney General Wade II. Ellis of
Ohio, who was a member of the com
mittee on resolutions of the Republican
national convention, makes the follow
ing reply to the criticisms of the plat
form made by W. J. Bryan. The at
torney general says In part:
"Tho charge made by Mr. Bryan that
the Republican declaration with re
spect to the use of the writ of injunc
tion was designed to 'deceive tho la
boring mail' Is unworthy of a candi
date for president, and tho further
charge that this plank merely declares
the existing law nnd will give no relief
in those cases In which there has been
an abuse or discretion or the apprehen
sion of It Is unworthy of any lawyer
who has examined the question.
"The nnti-lnjuiictlon resolution is a
frank, clear statement of tho Republic
an party's position on a question ou
which others have been attempting to
deceive labor. The sole basis of any
rational complaint as to the Issuance
of injunctions in labor cases lias been
tho use of the writ without notice and
tho long delays in some instances which
have Intervened before a heating of
the case.
"The present statute does not require
any notice at all before the granting of
a temporary order, and it is entirely
within the discretion of the court to
postpono to any time the judgo may
seo lit the hearing upon the question of
an Injunction. The Republican plunk
simply declares that notice shall al
ways be given unless an lrrepurablo
Injury will result from delay, mid In
that case there shall bo a speedy hear
ing provided. It will meet the approval
of every right thinking man, whether
nn employer or an employee."
Fatal Proximity of Can and Stove.
Pomeroy, O., Sept. 15. A can of oil
standing near the stove In the kitchen
at the home of John G. Roush, in Ma
son county, West Virginia, exploded
early yesterday and as a result one
child was burned to death and Mr.
and Mrs. Roush and three other chil
dren were so severely Injured that
they may die. The house was con
sumed. Great Mortality From Cholera.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 15. It la offi
cially announced that from noon of
Sept. 12 until noon today there were
2."ti cases of cholera and 64 deaths.
The mortality since the beginning of
the epidemic is over 25 per cent.
CHANLER
Democratic State Convention
Convened at Noon Today.
Lieutenant Governor Chanter's Name
Most Prominently Mentioned For
Nomination For Governor Justice
James M. Gerard of New York City
Is Announced as Tammany's Choice.
Platform Will Denounce Hughes'
Administration as Extravagant.
Rochester, Sept. 15. The first ses
sion of the Democratic state conven
tion was called to order at noon today
when former Justice Morgan J.
O'Brien delivered his address as tem
porary chairman. After the commit
tees had been named adjournment
was taken until some time Wednesday
morning, when Judge Alton B. Parker,
the permanent chairman, will deliver
his address and the convention wlll
settle down to serious business.
The city of Rochester has taken on
the color and gnlety of a convention
city. Arriving delegates were met by
brass bands and committees of citi
zens and escorted to their hotels,
there were concerts In all the hotel
lobbies and at street corners, and the
downtown sections of the city were
thronged with sight-seers. The Tam
many delegation, many hundred
strong, attracted the greatest atten
tion. The Kings county Democracy
from Brooklyn also arrived with a
heavy representation.
Gerard Is Tammany's Choice.
The nebulous conditions surround
ing the nomination by the Democratic
state convention of a candidate for
governor have taken definite form and
the problem Is declared to have been
reduced to a choice between Lieuten
ant Governor Lewis Stuyvesant Chan
ler, who Is being urged by State Chair
man William .1. Conners, and Justice
James M. Gerard of New York city,
who Is announced as the choice of
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall.'
The race seems to have resolved It
self Into a contest between the up
state delegates, who are declared to
be strongly in favor of Mr. Chanler,
and the Tammany delegates, with
their alliances throughout the state,
who will follow the suggestions of Mr.
Murphy.
Justice Gerard has long been promi
nent In Democratic councils In New
York city and was elected last fall to
the supreme court bench. He has
heretofore been mentioned but cas
ually in connection with the nomlna-
tlon and the prominent position Into
which he was elevated last night came
as a distinct surprise to close follow
ers of the recent trend of affairs.
No xne participating in the confer
ences was willing to say positively
that the race was settled In favor
either of Justice Gerard or of Mr.
Chanler. The name of Supreme Court
Justice Philip H. Dugro of New Yorlt
city was also brought Into the discus
sion of candidates for first place on
tho ticket and it was Intimated that
he was looked upon by Tammany Hall
with favor second only to that of Jus
tice Gerard himself. The names of
practically all other candidates took
on secondary Interest.
Chanter's Friends Confident.
On the surface there is no diminu
tion In the enthusiasm and confidence
of the deleeates who favor the nomin
ation of Lieutenant Governor Chanler
and his name Is the one most promi
nently heard about state headquarters
and about all the hotel lobbies where
delegates gather. Mr. Chanler's
strength upstate Is imposing and his
friends are hopeful that the well nigh
universal sentiment In this section
may have sufficient Influence upon
Leader Murphy to cause him to accept
the up-state man In preference to one
from below the Harlem river.
Mr. Murphy two years ago, however,
dictated the nomination of William R.
Hearst and at the Denver convention
last July swung the entire New York
delegation, of which he was chairman,
Into line for Mr. Bryan. His power
among a great number of the dele
gates to the present convention Is un
questioned. The friends of William Sulzer con
tinned his candidacy today and de
clared they felt sure of 125 votes. A
delegation of 100 Democrats from El
niira arrived last night by special
train to urge the nomination of Col
onel David C. Robinson of Chemung
for governor.
Definite progress also was made on
the groundwork of a platform, the
principal feature of which will he a
ringing denunciation of the adminis
tration of Governor Hughes. The
platform was discussed at great length
rn conference and practically agreed
upon.
The Hughes administration will be
attacked as one of gross extravagance,
especially In the matter of the crea
tion of a public service commission,
'H'hlch it will be declared has given
no adequate return for the immense
amount of expenditure Involved. The
New York city end of the com mission
will he called upon to bear the brunt
of the attack nnd the platform will
nssert that far from bettering transit
conditions in Greater New York, tho
commission has seen them grow stead
ily worse.
Practically every step of Governor
Hughes' administration will be at
tacked except his advocacy of the
flntl-nicetrark gambling bills. The
only reference which will approach
thRt subject will be a declaration In
favor of personal liberty, freedom of
thought and speech and the onact
nient of new sumptuary laws.
STAB FIANCE OF SISTER.
Use Butcher's Steel to Prevent Wed
ding In Family.
Steubenville, O., Sept. 15. Frank
Bompea, an Italian, was probably fa
tally stabbed with a butcher's shar
pening steel. Nicola and Louis Leon I
are under arrest. Bompea Is at th.e hos
pital, while Katie Leoni, sister of the
two prisoners and promised bride of
Bompea, is prostrated.
The pretty young Neapolitan girl
who was the Innocent cause of the
stabbing arrived here six weeks ago,
her expenses being paid by Bompea.
The Leonl brothers prevented the
couple from meeting on all occasions.
Suturday night Bompea entered the
Leonls' butcher shop and demanded
to see the girl. The brothers rushed
him out of the shop. In the street the
quarrel was continued. Katie Leonl
was attracted to the scene and the
Leonl brothers became furious when
the crowd evinced sympathy for Bom
pea and Insisted that he should be al
lowed to meet the girl. Nicola Leonl
Is alleged to have plunged the butch
er's Bteel Into Bompea's stomach,
while IxjuIs Leonl held the man.
BODY IN WHIRLPOOL
Grace Greenfield Disappeared From
North Evans Last Tuesday.
Niagara Falls, N. Y., Sept. 15. The
body of Grace Greenfield, the 19-year-old
school teacher who disappeared
from North Evans last Tuesday, was
taken from the Whirlpool last night.
The body was seen several times dur
ing the day and many unsuccessful ef
forts were made to secure it. In one
of these Frank Randall ventured out
too far and narrowly escaped being
drawn Into the vortex.
As It was too late to get the body
up the cliff last night It was placed
In a receiving casket and left on the
shore. Isaac E. Greenfield, the glrl'i
father, arrived here last night. His
plea to be taken at once to see the
body was grajited. The trying trip In
to the gorge" vas a severe test of the
old man's strength and the sight of
the battered body of his girl complete
ly prostrated him.
Valuable Timber Tracts Threatened.
Toronto, Ont., Sept. 15. The On
tarlo crown lands department was noti
fied that forest fires had entered the
valley of the Mattawan district, fifty
miles west of Port Arthur, and threat
ens the destruction of large tracts ol
timber land and several tie, pulp wood
and logging camps.
Two Men Killed by Boiler Explosion.
Berlin, Ont., Sept. 15. The boiler
In a cider mill at LInwood blew up,
killing two men. The dead are Thorn
as Habers, owner of the mill, and
George Attig 'of Newton. Both were
terribly mangled.

Ind., In a recent sermou thus spoke ol
Judge Taft's nppeal to the Christian
people of America:
"Mr. Taft used words of wisdom In
referring to this question In his notifi
cation speech. His appeal Is not onlj
to his party, but it Is to tho Christian
church of America. It seems to uu
that every man whose heart beati
loyally to Jesus Christ must rejoice Id
the statement bo truthfully made. Mr.
Taft said: 'We have established a gov
ernment with effective and honest ex
ecutive departments In tho Philippines
and a clean and fearless administra
tion of Justice; we have created and
arc inaintaluiug a comprehensive
school system which Is educating th
youth of the Islands In English and In
Industrial branches; we have con
structed great government publlt
works, roads and harbors; we have
induced the private construction of 81)0
miles of railroad; wo have policed the
Islands so that their condition as to
law and order is better now than It
has ever beeu lu their history.'
"Mr. Taft is better fitted to Bpeak
on tills question than any other man
In the government today by vlrtuo of
his close connection with tho problem,
his experience nnd personal observa
tion of the work being done; hence
what he says will lie heeded by the
Christian church with iuteuso Interest
Influence of Christian Civilization.
"More than ten years beforo Dewey
sailed Into Manila, Bishop Thoburn,
our missionary bishop for fifty years
lu India, predicted that ere long the
missionary would find mi open door In
the Philippines, but God alone knew
how the door was to be opened.
"Now we-hear Mr. Taft saying: 'We
are engaged in tho Philippines In a
great missionary work that does our
nation honor and Is certain to pro
mote in a most cffcctlvo way the In
fluence of Christian civilization. It Is
cowardly to lay down tho burden until
our purpose Is achieved.' True, nor
do we believe that tho American peo
ple will allow this to be done. The
sacrifice has beeu made, tho song of
the redeemed people will ere long fill
heaven and earth with gladness. The
Hellish are ever lonely and joyless, but
they who bring the sacrifice to tho
altar will 11 ml tho Joy of the Lord
nrlso within them."
