POSSESSION OF AUTOS
GIVEN TO H0LLANDER.
Gets Judgment by Consent for Motor
Cars Exhibited in Trans
p%OrtRtfon Building.

Judgment by consent was given In the
case of Elmer P. Hollander of the New
York firm of Hollander G. Tangeman, who
applied for the possession of two Italian
automobiles which were on exhibit at the
Palace of Transportation at the Worlds
Fair. under the control of Fabbrica Ital-
IAN di Automobile Of Turin. Italy.
The petition claimed that the machines
had been paid for by Hollander and were
his lawful property. In the meaning of
the law the Palace OF Transportation is a
bonded warehouse Of the United States.
and property exhibited there is free from
duty and may not be removed unless by
authority and until the duty is paid.
Hollander alleged that he had offered
the amount of the duty to Charles +.
~Gallenkamp. Supervisor Of Customs, and
that the money had been refused, because
the plaintiffs We're not the consignees Of
the machines. As the machines were in
the custody of Gallenkamp for the duty. he
was made a defendant in the case, as also
were III Louisiana Purchase Company
and Giovanni Branch, the agent for the
italian mandatory, who had the ma
chimes In his charge.
The machines were brought TO America
on March 81. and were received by
Branchi. who placed them in his exhibit
at the Worlds Fair without the consent of
the owners.
A claim of s1,ec0 damages was put in by
Hollander against the Italian compan for
holding the machines. The petition stated
that he had made several applications
for the possession of the machines, and
that he had suffered in that amount by not
having them. A further claim of S.OS,
the value of both machines, was asked in
case the machines were not delivered.
TIT plaintiffs paid the costs in the suit
and the duty on the automobiles. United
States Marshal Morsey removed them
from the Transportation building and
turned them over to Hollander.

MANY INVITATIONS
RECEIVED BY FOLK
Governor Elect Wanted in Many
Cities as Speaker at
Banquets.

dress on Politics OF Mu-
nicipal Problems.

News dispatches from several OF the
large cities in the country relate the in
terest which the election OF Folk in Ms
souri, has created. As a result, many in
vitations to address various outside clubs
and organizations have been showered up
on tho Governor elect.
Comment by outside newspapers fro
quently refers to the young Missouri lead
er as Democratic presidential timber for
1903. Several of these invitations have
come from New York. At least one of
them meant to introduce him as more
than a possibility in a national r~eorganiza-
ton of the Democratic party four years
hence
A dispatch to The Republic from New
York states that Democrats of the metro
polls hearing that Folk was to visit the
city, began preparations for a banquet. 1T
IS now declared" reads the dispatch, that
the conservative clement of the party will
give a demonstration in Folks honor as
the first step toward a reorganization of
the party.
MI. Folk has admirers among all fac
lions here, as he has in st. Louis. 1t IS
believed that the party will be more easily
recognized by taking UP n radical who
has done things than a conservative who
would do things if he knew how"
Mr.. Folk said last night, in reference to
the matter. that he was not concerned
with radical or conservative In a ma
tional sense, but was fully occupied at
home and unable to accept any outside in
vitations. Other requests for addresses
have come from the Chicago Commercial
Club, the Detroit Board of Commerce, the
Louisville Board of Trade and the Eco
uomic Gu of Boston.
Most of them are not political, but ex-
press o desire to hear the conspicuous
prosecutor Of St. Louis discuss municipal
government and the means most prac-
teal to stamp out bribery and corruption.
In addition to invitations of this char
acter. are many frcm chautaEquaS All
have been refused with the one e~splana-
tory statement from Mr.. Folk that he
will be occupied entirely by Missouri af-
fairs until after the business of the Legis-
lature is completed.

Executive Committee of the In.

vention to Urge Passage Of
Quarles. Cooper Bill.

The Executive Committee of the Inter-
state Commerce Law Convention. held at
st. Louis October $50, is now taking
measures to bring to a successful issue, at
the coming session Of Congress, the efforts
made for the last four years to secure
legislation rendering effective the prt-
mary requirement OF the Interstate Com
merce act. which IS:
IAN charge for any service rendered or
to b. rendered in the transportation Of
passengers, or property. or in connection
Herewith. or the receiving, delivering
storage or handling of such property, shall
be reasonable and just"
The committee represents more than $50

ions and seventeen State oranges. 1t is
composed of the following members: E.

1t Is stated that the committee will en-
deavor to secure the passage OF the
Quaries-Cooper bill, which was introduced
If enacted will rehabilitate the Interstate
Commission with authority to determine
what change shall be made In n rate or
practice of which complaint is made. 1t
Is further provided If on full hear
ing of all parties in interest that the rate
or practice is found to be discrtminative
or unreasonable, such determination shall
be operative upon thirty days notice to
the carrier and SO continue until Overruled
by the courts.
The transportation interests are safe
guarded by a provision which makes the
order of the commission subject to sus-
pension by the Circuit Court pending re-
view. upon application of the carrier.
It is contended that the commission ex-
ercised this authority to the general salts
faction OF the commercial and railway in
terests of the country for a period of ten
years after its organization. But since
the United States Supreme Court has de-
cided that the commission has not this
authority. under the Interstate act, that
the commission is now powerless to REM
edy wrongs and can only notify the car
rier to cease and desist," the carrier
being free to make as slight a change as
it may desire. The committee will main
a commissioner at Washington to
urge upon members of tho Congress the
Of early n favorable action
IN the pending bill.
