Chief Justice Loree, OF Delaware, Gives
His Views at ChautauQus Concern
ing Mob Law,

Chautauqua, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE
discussion Of mob law and lynchings
was continued here yesterday by Chief
Justice Loree, of Delaware. His sub
ject was 1.-THE Relation of Law to the
Manifestation Of the Mob Spirit" He
said In part: Mob law 10 anarchy
pure and simple. Anarchy is the rock
upon which all ancient republics have
ultimately been wrecked, and is to-
day one of the most threatening evils
of our republics Mob law saps the
moral fiber Of every participant in the
lawless act, and puts the most respec-
table of the mob on the same moral
level as the most degraded. The man
who violates law in any case finds 1t
easy to add other violations to the
list. Every triumphant mob embold-
ems criminals in every community to
riot. more readily and for less reason
than before.
1.-THE effect Of mob rule may be
summarized as follows: It brutalizes
the individual man; IT destroys free
government: It increases crime
What is the remedy? What Is the
cure for mobs? Most emphatically we !
say the remedy Is not in hasty and
feverish action Of courts of Justice
against the criminal whose offense is
the exciting cause. One cure for mob |
law unquestionably is the fearless de-
Tense of the accused by his keeper
Outside Of violence, the remedy, In
my Judgment, is that the people shall
be- taught in season and out OF sea-
son that our safety as people lies in
implicit obedience to the law"

GETS AN PERMANENT INJUNCTION

Trenton, ~ j., Jan. 14.-In the
United States Circuit Court. district
Of New Jersey, a decision was fled
yesterday In favor the Western Uuion
Telegraph Company restraining the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company from
interfering with the company's lines
along the road. The injunction is
made permanent. The decision as
handed down recites the following
United States statute, enacted July "a,
1856: Any telegraph company now
organized or which may hereafter be
organized under the laws of any state,
shall have the right to construct, main
tain and operate telegraph lines over
and along any of the military or post
roads of the United States which have
been or may hereafter be declared by
such law, but such lines of telegraph
shall be so constructed and main
tanned as not to interfere with the or
binary travel or such military roads.
All railroads are declared by law to be
post roads.
Refers to Former Decisions.
The decision continues as follows:
'While the question here at issue
has not had judicial Interpretation by
the court of last resort, the statute of
July "a, 1866, as applicable to post
roads, has several times been before
the courts for their construction. 1t
has been held that because of this law
one company having exclusive privi-
leges under the state law cannot pro-
hibit the erection of the telegraph lines
Of another company on the post roads
of the United States. where such other
companies have accepted the provis-
ions of the act of July "a, 1866, when
those in control of such roads have
given their assent.
1T has also been decided, in the
United States VS.. Union Pacific Rail-
road Company. That no railroad COM
pany owning post road of the United
States over which interstate commerce
is carried on can, consistently with the
act Of July "a, 1866, bind itself by
agreement to exclude form it's roadway
any telegraph company incorporated
under the laws of a state which ac-
cepts the provisions of the act and de
sires the use of that roadway for its
lines in such manner as will not inter-
fere with the ordinary travel there
on"
Gives Them . Chance to Appeal
The deciding judge, in closing, said:
I'm view Of the facts presented and for
the reason stated I have decided to
make permanent this injunction In
this way the defendants will have an
opportunity to appeal to the next term
Of the circuit court of appeals; while,
should the rule be discharged, the COM
plainant would have no appeal, and
the injury to his property, which is
threatened, would have been accom-
plished before the case had been prop.
erly considered" The contention of
the defendant company that it has en-
tered into q new contract with another
telegraph company and that there is
not sufficient room on its right-of-way
for the lines Of more than one telegraph
company, the decision says, ought to
await the final determination Of the
cause.
