HOAR AND THE A. p. A:
The Senator Takes the American Party Il
ToeL

WORCESTER, Mass, Aug. 1a.-Sen-
ator Hoar has written an open letter on
the A. 2. A. to Thomas c. Evans of Bos-
ton, in response to letter from the lat
ter expressing surprise at statements
made by the senator in speech that the
A. p. A. is an attempt to recall on .'ne
side the cruelties of the Catholic church
and to frjghten old women OF both sexes.
and on the other side to band the men of
the Catholic church together for political
action; both of which attempts will fail,
he says.
Senator Hoar writes in part as follows:
"The difference between you and me is
a difference of method. / want to get the
700. 900 Cath ollcs in Massachusetts, on our
side. l want them to send their chill
dren to the public schools, to pay their
share OF the cost, and when the young
men and women are suitable, are intelli-
gent, liberal persons attached to the
schools, I want some of them to be en-
ployed as teachers. l don't exclude
them from any political support when
they are Republicans and agree with me
in other matters, because of their religious
faith.
''You want to mass together the whole
Catholic population of Massachusetts, to
the support of their extreme and wrong
headedspriests, If any such can be found.
l think your methods would overthrow
the common schools system. would over
throw the Republican party and would
end by massing together all the Catholic
votes. as prescription always does mass
men together, to increase and strengthen
that political power which you profess
so much to dread. The time has come
to throw down the walls between Chris
tians and not to build new ones."

RAILROADS IN COURT
Litiga tion Which May Defeat Reorganiza-
tion Plan

CHICAGO. Aug. 12.-Suit has been
commenced by the Chicago Elevated Ter
mlnal Railway Company against the At
Gibson railway, the Union Trust Com
pany, the Mercntile Trust Company, the
receivers of the road, Edward King and
others to the join the executive reorganiz-
alton committee. The Terminal Railway
Company claims to be creditor of the
Atchison company by reason OF certain
contracts relating to terminals in Chicago
and the reorganization plan is attacked
on the ground tnat the stockholders of
the corporation are entitled, to nothing un-
til creditors are paid, and therefore that
the features of the plan by which the
stockholders of the Atchison get an equal
amount of stock in a new company is a
fraud on the general creditors. The couri
is asked to retain the stock OF the new
company going 20 the Atcbison stock
holders in order that it may be subjected
to the claims of the unsecured creditors
OF the Atchison company.
The suit was brought in the United
States courts of Kansas, Missouri. Iowa,
and Illinois, and 1t is SAID by the Termi-
nal railway people that this litigation
may defeat the contamination OF the re-
orgrp&ation plan.

z OAKLAND. A ug. 12.-Miss Jennie
Lewis. domestic employed in the family
Of the Rev. George Mooar of No. 45o Ed
wards street, was shot in the head by o
man supposed to be Louis F. Mublner, q
Tilted lover, tonight. The young woman
will probably die. After firing the shot
the man made his escape. Miss Lewis is
girl of 20 years. She was engaged to
marry young man named Charles II.
Miller. Muhlner has been in love with
the girl for years, and has been persist
ent sultor. Late in the afternoon a young
fellow, now believed to have been Muhl-
ner, called on Miss Lewis. She received
her caller in a friendly manner and they
spent half an hour seated on the front
porch.
From all appearan ces Miss Lewis retired
to her room for short time and secured
all the letters written to her by Muhlner
and returned them to him. The letters
left in her room we're found scattered
about the table, indicating that she had
made a search among her keepsakes.
After returning the letters Miss Lewis
started to 60 around the side OF the house
leading to the rear door. She was follow

first shot missed the young woman, but
the second had deadly effect. The ball
entered over and in front of the left ear
and ranged downward and was embedded
in the brain.
No one saw the shooting. The nurse in
the house was attracted by the noise and
raising the window looked out and saw
the man walking calmly away from the
scene. A second glance revealed the pros
trate form of the young woman. The po-
lice were summoned and Miss Lewis was
taken to the receiving hospital.
DR.. Murray Johnson made an examina-
ton OF the wound and found that the
bullet had entered the brain. He pro-
nounced it hopeless case and said that
1t was only matter of u few honrs be-
fore the girl woulu die.
Chief Lloyd secured a good description
of the man who did the shooting, and it
tallies with the general appearance Of
Nuhlner.
Miss Lewis came from Point Reyes.
where her parents now reside. She is
the daughter of A. G. Lewis.

THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC SUIT
On Trial In New Hexico Now for the Az
pointment of Separate RECEIVER

| On Trial In New nexico Now for the Ap-
pointment Of Separate Receivers
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Aug. H.
The big suit of the United States Trust
company, trustee for the holders of the
$780, 600. 600 first mortgage boIds for the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad company
for the appointment of separate receiv-
errs, pending settlement of the question
OF foreclosure. was begun today. Judge
Sterry. counsel for the Atlantic and Pa
cific. " hen court had been formally opened
and some visiting attorneys had been in
troduced and were given authority to
practice before the New Mexico bar, pre-
sented the court with lengthy arguments
setting forth why, in his opinion. the
court had no jurisdiction in the case at
this time.
In presenting this question, the general
attorney of the Atlantic and Pacific, who
announced in reply to question from
Neil b. Field that he represented the
receivers of the road, revived past actions
of the court in order to establish q prece-
dent for the cause now on hearing. Then,
coming to his point he argued that the
court sitting as q federal court had no
jurisdiction in the case during .he vaca-
tion of the court, and wnile it had been
the custom in the past for the court to sit
during vacation and give opinions which
were formally entered as of record at the
first day of the succeeding term, such
course would not be proper in case in
volving the federal functions OF the court
In support of this contention he drew
parallel between the courts OF the state
tho court of common law and the
United States court and the courts OF
New Mexico, the judges of which serve
in dual capacity. He cited number OF
cases to show that in the statos the ap-
pointment of receiver during the vaca-
ton of the court had been declared illegal
in the higher courts. Judge Ster'y
argued further that the court exercising
its functions as federal court has only
such authority as is given it by statute
and quoted the acts o' the territorial leg
islature to sustain his point that the
power to sit during the vacation on such
cases, il given at all, was given in excess
of the powers of the legislature which in
assuming to pass such laws, was taking
upon itself more power than can be ex-
ercised by state legislature. Judge Col
lier, when the argument was concluded,
declared he did not care to hear from the
other side and overruled the motion for
dismissal of the case for lack of Jurisdic.
tion. Court was then adjourned until 10
O'Clock Wednesday morning, when it is
expected the taking OF dispositions will be
begun.

On this particular morning Miss Tut

Tho publication OF books containing 1t u
