JUDGES DENOUNCED.
Senator Chandler Pitches Into New
Hampshire Supreme Judges.
Says Concord Railroad Decision Is Dishonest
and Disgrace TO State.

Concord n. H., Feb 20.-The Evening
Monitor Senator Chandeliers paper, con
tains signed leader from his pen criti-
cising the Opinion of the Judges, which
appears In the forthcoming Goth law re-
port as decision of the supreme court on
the question of the states interest in the
Concord Railroad referred to 1t, some
years ago.
Referring to the head notes he says
= Four head notes are prefixed to the
opinion. The first two are correct but
Irrelevant and the last two unsound and
fact that the act of 1914 only
applied to railroad companies
which expressly adopted its provisions
which the Concord Co. never did; and
because the other conceals the fact that
the statutory revision of 1857 contained n
clause saving all existing rights.
Ordinarily lawyer or judge, who
would be guilty of such a suppression of
facts upon which the argument against
him always rested, would be deemed I'M
worthy of notice. Unfortunately the
judges committing this oifense are still In
office and hold the property ana personal
rights of us all in their hands.
They do not, it is true, continue longer
to claim the right to sentence any citizen
to death, sending word to the sheriff to
hang him. He might be sentenced to be
hung by announcement to him in open
court but still it remains one of the privi-
leges of which IL citizen Of New Hampshire
Is not subject to be deprived by the con-
struction of the law by his chief Justice
But this is only because the United States
courts may be required to enforce the use
! of due processes of law
10 conclude: In New Hampshire, to-
| day, judicial tyranny has taken the place
of correct and just administration of the
laws The judges made a nose of wax of
the law, and in twisting 1t, serve their
turns. Their blunder aud stubborn per
sistencce therein against the light and
knowledge have cost the people Of New
| Hampshire 81, 600. 600, as justly and right
| fully theirs as Is their stat capitol.
| The failure TO exerei2e the state IS rights
| has caused the watering Of stock of the
state system of roads, the seizure of those
roads by a great mo2opoly outside the
state and the transfer to foreign capitalists
of the power TO impose unlimited trans
portatlon burdens upon the people of the
commonwealth.
Other causes contributed, bat the prin-
cipal cause is the untrutbfulness of judges
of the supreme court, While their likes
list, they cannot, by any future fidelity,
compensate the people for their faithless
misconduct in connection with the most
| important question that ever came before
| them.
| OF their dishonoring pamphlet, now dis
gracefully thrust into the New Hamp-
shire reports. it shall continue to be said,
as Senator Fessenden said of the bred
Scott decision: There never was an
opinion so utterly at variance with all
truths utterly destitute of all legal logic,
so founded on error, so unsupported by
anything resembling an argument

CASE OF TIT FOR TAT.
Canadians Ask for Export Duty on
Pulp Wood for States
To Offset the Import Duty Now Imposed by
Uncle Sam.

Ottawa Ont, Feb. 20.-A deputaton
representing the leading pulp manufac
turers of Canada waited upon the govern
ment, today, and urged the imposition of
an export duty upon pulp wood going in
to the United States.
1t was represented that Canadian pulp
manufacturers have been doing business
under very great disadvantages in conse-
quence Of the keen competition from the
manufacturers on the other side OF the
border line, and on account of the United
States government imposing duty of 10
per cent on pulp going into that country,
with threat to increase it still further.
In view of these circumstances, they
urged the government TO impose an ex-
port duty on pulp wood that would be
equivalent to the duty levied by the
United States government on the pulp i'm
ported.
The government promised to consider
the matter.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Exactly at 2 o'clock the court was
ready for business.
DR.. II. B. Cranberry was the first wit
ness. He had known Burt fourteen or
fifteen years. On the night of July 25
Saturday, he went to the International
and Great Northern train going north.
He took the train and had gone as far as
the car. Burt was sitting just in front
of the water cooler. He Cranberry
spoke to him and sat down with him in
the same seat. Asked him where he was
going, and he said to Dallas. He had a
small grip in his lap. Near Taylor the
officers of the train got ready to cut out
the car they were in, and DR.. Cranberry
wanted to 90 into a front car but Burt
objected, saying he did not want to carry
his two big grips, and told Cranberry to
stay in the car until the engine whistled
for Taylor. He stayed until the train
got to Taylor. He noticed nothing un-
usual in Burt's manner. There was a
lady on the train who was crying. Burt
said she was a Mrs. Driscoll, young
lady who had lately lost her husband. He
trouble.
Cross-examined by Taylor Moore. BY
"touchingly" he meant that Burt seemed
to regret the husbands death and be sor-
ry for the widow. He talked sympathet-
ically. Burt seemed to make no attempt
to conceal his identity at all. He talked
to him about three-fourths of an hour,
and Burt seemed to be in a very good
humor. He said he was going to Dallas
on business. That his family were away
from home, but would come back on
Thursday. He stayed with Burt until
the train came almost to stop in Taylor.
He saw nothing unusual about him all
the while he talked to him. Did not see
him after they got to Taylor. Excused.

where oxygen has been applied and where
the wound is healing the progress was
marked by the presence Of common organ
isms, and that II relapse occurred the
bacteria disappeared; 30 that one Is led to
the conclusion that a certain number Of
these living organisms are necessary In the
formation of new and healthy flesh.
In the spring of this year 1t was decided
to enter upon wider field Of operations
and test this experiment further, for 1t
must be borne in mind that as yet Il Is only
an experiment, and accordingly a commit
tee OF ladies and gentlemen, under the
presidency of Baroness Burdett- -Coutts,
undertook to establish hospital at No. 35
St Georges square southwest. The hos
pital Is small, but If funds were forthcom-
ing larger house could be secured. The
oxygen used Is said to be first generated in
an iron funnel, and thence Il is pumped
into india rubber bags, according to the
strength required; the part affected is then
inclosed in wooden box, with glass lid
ana cased round with oilskin tube COM
munfcates with the box and the bag, and in
this way the oxygen is introduced into the
box other apparatus are contrived for the
Dack, head and other parts of the body
The first effect is the cessation of pain and
the healing properties are quickly discern
ed one case of an ulcer Of forty years
starding had yielded to the treatment in
three weeks, another of eighteen years in
an equally short time, and many others
mad similar tale 10 tell Not one of the
least of the virtues of the oxygen is its de-
odorizing power. 1t has also been tried in
cases of badness, with the resul. that the
hair grew rapidly, and in a short time was
in normal condition. To what length the
curative properties of oxygen may be car
RED remains to be proved, but il has at
least one advantage, that OF extreme econ
omy, for, beyond the cost of the oxygen,
which. 1t is said, comes to about 2lad for
twenty-four hours there is no expense for
dressings or medicines.
