ovERsTEPPED. AUTHORITY.
Postmaster General Ordered to Restore
to Railway Publications Second Glass

to Railway Publications Second Glass
Privileges.
Washington, May S.-Justice A. c.
Bradley. in the supreme court cf the
District of Columbia, has rendered a
decision in the injunction case brought
NY R. w. Haynes and Daniel Fox, coun-
sci for a railway equipment and man
ngement publication. against Pos tmas-
ter General Henry S. Payne. TIE de-
cision was rendered on the demurrer
filed by the postmaster general 20 the
complainant's bill for an injunction to
prevent the postmaster general from
charging the third-class rate, instead
of the secondclass rate. on the COM
plainant's publication, known aus the
pocket list Of railroad officials.
This was the first injunction brought
to determine the power of the poStmas-
ter general to charge the higher rate
under departmental regulation pro-
nulgatei on July II, 1901. Under this
amended regulation the postmaster
general has excluded from the second
class rate a very large number of pub
lfcations several of which cases are
row pending in the supreme court oe
the district Justice Bradley also de-
cided two mandamus cases involving
the Official Railway Guide and Official
List.
The purport of Justice Bradley's de-
cision lis that the regulation promul-
gated by the postmaster genera. goes
beyond the law, and is practically an
amendment of the law, which the post
master general has no power to make.
In the mandamus cases the Justice or
dered writs to issue restoring the sec
ond- class privilege to the publications
involved and in the injunction prevent
l. ing the postmaster general from refus-
i ing to carry the Pocket List at the low
er rate of postage.

Ended.

Los Angeles, May s.-Bulletin, 1880
p m.-Mrs. Denison was elected presi-
dent OF the General Federation of
Women's Clubs by a vote of 667 to 25S
for Mrs. Platt Decker.
Los Angeles, May S.-The friends of
Mrs. Decker of Denver received bitter
disappointment when the report of the
nominating committee became public.
There are forty women on this commit
tee, and they labored from 5 o'clock in
the afternoon until after midnight on
the ticket. Every member was sworn
to secrecy, but in some manner one of
the members confided in a dear
friend" and the result of the session
was soon public property. The ticket is
as follows:
For president-Mrs. DENIES T. S.
Denison of New York.
For first vice president-Mrs. Robert
j. Burdette, of California.
For second vice president-Mrs. Em-
ma Fox of Michigan.

ten of Iowa.

members are Mrs. w. A. Nelden of
Utah, Mrs. j. c. Carroll of Texas, and

Mrs. Decker accepts the result grace
fully but her friends and the coast DEL
egates do not conceal their disappoint-
ment. 1t is said that complimentary
nominations will be made from the
floor and their recognition will be in
sisted upon. 1t, is thought Massachus-
etts will nominate Mrs. Decker, and
there may be complications at the last
moment, for the coast is still loyal to
the Colorado woman. The nomination
of Mrs. Burdette for first vice president
seems to please all the delegates, and
the promotion Of Mrs. Fox from record
ing secretary to the position Of second
vice president is considered well mer-
tied honor for faithfupl worker
Minneapolis appears to be in the lead
for the next convention. altho st. Louis

The air was full of politics yesterday,
but matters were cooled off somewhat
by the dismissal of the convention IN
order that the delegates might attend
an all day excursion to Long Beach. In
the admiration Of each others gowns
and the delights of the ocean resort. the
delegates had opportunity to forget
some of their convention tribulatlons
and came back to the city In joyous
spirits In the evening.
