CRISIS is EXPECTED.
Wagons Will be Sent Out Regardless
of Strikers

Chicago. May S.-The crisis in the
teamsters' strike is expected to come
soon. The State street merchants
have decided to send out 1 100 wagons
to make deliveries in all parts of the
city. AS far as possible these wagons
will be guarded by deputy sheriffs and
in some cases by the local police. 1t
will be impossible for all of the wag
ons to be guarded by the deputy sher-
ifs but it is the intention to place two
men on each wagon as far as the pum-
Der of deputies already sworn in will
permit Sheriff Barrett had 200 depu-
ties in service tonight and said that
he thought this number would be am
pie for the work outlined. If it is not,
it is said, he will conclude that the
sheriff's Office and the local police are
not able to control the situation, and
a request will be made for the state
MALTA at once. Governor Deneen has
said that he will not order the troops
unless asked by Sheriff Barrett, and
upon the failure or success of the at
tempt of retail deliveries to be made
tomorrow depends the coming of the
troops.
Fifteen wagons were sent out Sat
urday by the large dry goods and de-
partment stores and all of them made
deliveries without interruption. On
each of these wagons rode two deputy
sheriffs. 1t was the success of this
attempt at delivering that prompted
the stores to decide to send out to-
morrow practically their full force of
wagons.

OPINION OF MOODY
Attorney General Replies to Senate
Committee.
A SUMMARY OF HIS VIEWS,
The. Government. Has Power to Fix
Railroad Rates-courts May lnves-
tisate to Remedy lniustiee-lt Is
Not Judicial.

Washington, May S.-Attorney Cen
sral Moody has sent an opinion on
Certain points of law connected with
Interstate commerce.
After discussing the points at
length. citing many authorities, the
attorney general concludes as fol-
lows:
The views which I have expressed
may be stated briefly as follows:
1. There is governmental power
to fix the maximum future charges of
carriers by railroad, vested in the leg
islatures of the states with regard to
Transportation exclusively within the
gard to all other transportation.
2. Although legislative power,
properly speaking, cannot be delegat-
ed, the law-making body having enact
ed into law the standard of charges
which shall control, may intrust to
an administrative body not exercising
in the true sense judicial power the
duty to fix rates in conformity with
that standard.
8. The rate-making power is not a
judicial function and cannot be con-
ferred constitutionally upon the
courts of the United States, either by
way of original or appellate jurisdic-
ton.
The courts, however, have the
power to investigate any rate or rates
fixed by legislative authority and to
determine whether they are such as
would be confscatory of the property
of the carrier, and if they are judici-
ally found to be confiscatory in their
effect, to restrain their enforce
ment.
.. Any law which attempts to de-
prive the courts of this power is un-
constitutional.
6. Any regulation of land trans
portation, however exercised. would
seem to be so indirect in it's effect up
on the ports that it could not consti-
tute a preference between the ports
of different states within the meaning
OF article 1, section 9, paragraph 6, of
the constitution.
Z. Reasonable, just and impartial
rates determined by legislative au-
thority are not within the prohibition
of article 1, section 9, paragraph 6, of
the constitution. even though they
result in varying charge per ton per
mile to and from the ports of the diff
eerent states.
Very respectfully,
WILLIAM H. MOODY,
Attorney General

DIVIDING the Work,

Elder Edgecomb was for many years
pastor of the Free Baptist Church in
Vienna, Me-, in which town lived
simple-minded man named Perry
Wood.
One hot Sunday in summer the par
son had occasion to admonish some of
his hearers for going to sleep during
the service. The next Sunday, while
the minister was in the midst of his
sermon, he heard something whiz
across the room and strike the wall.
He continued his sermon, but kept one
suspicious eye. on the congregation.
Soon he saw the supplemented Perry,
who was sitting in the stove room in
the rear Of the church, rise, take an
apple from his pocket and bring his
arm back preparatory for a throw at
the head of sleeping deacon.
Perry Wood" exclaimed the irate
parson, you put that apple up, and If
you ever throw another one in this
church Pll-"
You hold right on, elder" broke in
the excited Perry, you tend to your
preaching and I'll keep them awake.

Omaha, Neb., May S.-Pat Grove,
the alleged kidnapper of Eddie

Henshaw Hotel of this city.
While there have been rumors of
Grove being in the vicinity of Omaha
for several days, Chief of Police Dona.
hue denied absolutely having any
knowledge of his presence in the city
and the rumors were taken by the
public in manner similar to former
representations of his having been
seen, and were given little considera-
ton by the citizens of Omaha.
Grow telephoned the World-Herald
Office at midnight of his presence in
the city and stated that he would call
at the newspaper Office. A short time
afterward he appeared in company
with Mr.. O'Brien. Grove, O'Brien
and a representative of the World.
Herald were closeted for nearly an
hour, during which time Grove told
of his wanderings since he left the
city, four years ago. Grove stated
that he had served in the Boer war,
fighting with the Beers. He return
ed to this country after the war, and
has lived continually, according to his
statement, quietly in South Side fiat
in Chicago. He says that he has been
in Chicago nearly three years and that
he has visited Omaha on three differ
ent occasions during that time.

Lodoe's Grim Humor.

a grim one, at least so averts GER
tain committee clerk in the senate.
One afternoon early in the present
session there were a number of clerks
engaged in room just off that of
the senior senator from Massachu-
sets.
All at once they were aware of the
sudden appearance of the senator. His
brows were wrinkled into the sternest
of frowns.
"Who is it, demanded he in a per-
emptory tone, that is smoking that
cigarette?"
Whereupon the guilty man imme-
diately began to apologize and threw
away his smoke.

a half smile; then I'll thank you to

KIND HEART RUINED RuslE.
The Great Fall of a Mighty Player
Briefly Told.


Briefly Told.
Amos Rusie, considered by some
baseball critics to be the best pitcher
that ever stood before a batsman, is
working in an Indianapolis lumber
yard, loading planks on drays for
$3.50 a day. Since his retirement
from baseball several years ago, Rusie
has earned living at digging bitches
and driving trucks He has lost all of
the magnificent physique that made
him a diamond hero years ago, and
has given up all hope of lettering
himself. Amos got $4,000 in 1894 for
pitching less than fifty games for the
New York Nationals. He was in his
prime then, and his friends advised
him to save his money. But the big
pitcher. fond of good fellowship, re-
fused to listen to reason, and pro-
ceeded to blow his money in treating
a horde of flatterers and supposed
friends. What Rusie did not spend
in this manner he loaned to Tom,
Dick and Harry, always leaving town
at the end of season in debt. To
day, in actual want, Rusie would find

gone by who would raise finger to

players who come into baseball with
