LANCASTER, Pa, February H.
The Lancaster County Tobacco Grow

lions protesting against the admission
of tobacco from Porto Rico as recon-

mittee of Congress. Ex-Attorney Cen
eral Of Pennsylvania, w. U. HenseI,

of the present tariff upon all goods i'm
ported from Porto Rico is too low to
prevent the importation of the products

tect the American farmer. Copies of
the resolutions were forwarded to Sem

ence. Referring to the claim under
the fourteenth amendment, he said the
right to hold an Office in the State OF
Kentucky.
Was Not One of the Rights
guaranteed by that amendment. These
offices are creations of the State OF
Kentucky and the right to hold them
can not be construed into one OF the
rights designated in the amendment
referred to.
In conclusion he ridiculed the posi-
ton of the plaintiffs, who, while still
in the process of ascertaining whether
or not they had been elected. proposed
to throw aside the provisions OF the
State law and asked the power of this
court on their behalf.
Mr.. A. E. Wilson, of the plaintiffs.
followed in a brief argument in which
he took much time in reading authorl-
ties on the subject of the jurisdiction
Of a court under the fourteenth
amendment Of the United States con-
stitution. He spoke feelingly OF the
gravity of the situation In Kentucky.
He characterized this court as one
free from the excitement and partian-
ship that existed in Kentucky. These
plaintiffs, he said, have come here as
a last resort, so that the people of
Kentucky shall have the right recog-
nized by the constitution of Kentucky
before they take the law into their
own hands to make a new constitu-
ton.
Mr.. ]. A. Scott, for the defendants,
made the point that the Court could
not interfere to prevent the future ac-
ton of the Board of Contest. He said
the only real attack which had been
made on the Goebel law was that il
provided that all the election commits
sioners throughout the State should
be partisan Democrats. He ridiculed
the idea of making this the ground of
interference of this court and insisted
that the right to hold Office was not
one of the rights defined in the four
tenth amendment of the constitution.
He went on to argue
Against the Jurisdiction
of this court, saying he thought the
rule to be followed should rather be
misery than covetous in taking juris-
diction.
Governor Bradley, in his closing ar
gument, insisted that the contest board
being made into a court, was repung-
nant to the constitution of Kentucky
which specifies what courts shall be
created. The attempts to confer jul
dicial authority on this board deprived
these plaintiffs of their rights and gives
this court jurisdiction.
In reply to a question by the court,
Governor Bradley said he did claim
that these Offices were property. He
again called attention to the fact that
the board of contest has already ex-
pressed opinions concerning their fut-
ure action. He closed by the d~eclara-
tion hat there was no remedy in the
State courts and that equity has juris-
diction where common law fails and
even where equity car better redress
tae injury than can the ommon law.
After the conclusion of the argu-
rlents Judge Taft advised counsel that
lie would his decision so far
as the court having jurisdiction in the
cases are concerned. at 2 p. N. on
Wednesday next.

81 will resign myself rather than be
a party to custing Nj. Frick," he is
reported to have said:
OF course, Mr.. Lovejoy resigned. 1t
is a matter OF gossip that when Mr..
Prick engages in a new enterprise Mr..
Lovejoy will be n of his partners.
Another story now in circulation
has to do with the value of the steel
company stock. Mr.. Frick asks to
have the courts determine an equita-
bile basis for a sale of his holdings in
the Carnegie Co., which will be pur-
chased by or under the direction OF
Mr.. Carnegie. Stress has been laid
on the valuation placed by Mr.. Car
negie on his own holdings at the time
Mr.. Frick and others were promoting
a company to purchase the great
works. 1t is the common belief that
Mt. Carnegie then burned his bridges
so to speak, with regard to an occa-
sion like the present. Mr.. Carnegie'S
friends say this is not so. They de-
clare that Mr.. Carnegie never had any
intention of disposing of his business
and that his price is proof of this.
They say the figure he named was in
tended to be not merely discouraging.
but prohibitive. That it did not dis
courage the promoters is proved by
the fact that they paid 81, 600, 900 for
an option at Mr.. Carnegie's own fig
ure, and sought to renew the option
at the end of the first period. 1t did
prove prohibitive, for the promoters
failed to find the means to carry out
their plan.

MANY RESIDENTS
OF Delaware Benefited The Distribution
Of Life Insurance Funds a Great
Boon to the Prosperity Of Our
State

Because facts. while often dry, arc
such stubborn things, The Mutual Life
OF New York presents on the third
page OF this issue a statement OF what
it is actually doing in Delaware.
We would especially call attention
to the fact that only the healthy can
pass the physical examination, and
that the time to take insurance IS
when you think you do not need it.
Another fact made evident by the
figures on page three is that to these
people insurance proved a boon. Here
are a number Of estates richer in the
aggregate by SCI 54l.92 because of The
Mutual Life. For every dollar invest
ed in premiums nearly three dollars
have been returned. and at the time
of all times when money was most
needed and most welcome.
Suppose this company had not had
| its offices in Delaware and its
agents at work. How many OF this list
would have been insured? Very few
If any, and there is no computing tbs
good the policies did 1t is a matter o.
vital interest not only to the families
directly concerned, but to the Who'll,
