NOTES FROM
THE STATE
CAPITOL

The Republican house csucuses. which
were scheduled for IL o'clock this morn
ing, were called of shortly before that
hour because OF the difficulty tho mem
bers had in making connections on time.
At least that was one OF the reasons
and another. and the chief reason, was
that the need for It had ceased. as there
was an agreement upon disputed positions
between the members.
The caucuses for district judge were
held. however. in some cases.
The recording clerk OF the house of rep
resentatives has commenced the innova-
ton OF having the journal OF each day 9
proceedings printed, and today black
braid binders with the names of the mem
bers in gilt letters printed thereon were
distributed A lacing Is provided with
which the journal" for each day is at
tached on the following morning. and thus
at the end OF the session each member
will have a complete account of the pro-
ceedngs OF the house.
1t will make a lot OF extra work for the
clerk who will have 10 prepare the copy
for the printer. in addition TO making his
official copy, but he Is willing so the
members are not kicking.
The treasurer's report OF the financial
condition OF the state Is coming out
earlier than usual. according to the pro-
gress being made by the general treasurer
and his assistants, a fact that will un-
doubtedly result in manner highly
gratifying TO those concerned in keeping
the expenditures down.
The state has long needed some in
creased revenue. according TO the gen
eral treasurer. and when this new report
for the condition Of the excheQuer I'm 1904
is issued II may have the effect OF dis
couraging attempts at getting appropria-
uons for things that can wait a few
years as we'll as not.
From the adjutant generals Office to-
day was sent out general orders No /
by Gov. Utter. publishing the appoint
ment OF the five aides -de-camp on his
staff with the rank OF colonel.
The last OF the series or 1904 was gen
eral orders 26.
The state board of pharmacy had it's
regular monthly session at the state
house yesterday. some little difficulty
being experienced in finding a sufficient
number OF chairs. as all the available
ones In sight had been taken for the
house and senate guests
Francis Xavier Leonidas Rattey. for
mer member OF the house OF represen-
tatives. Is styl a familiar figure at the
state house. But now only IN the capacity
OF n newspaper man. He is the Rhode
Island representative OF Le Canada OF
Montreal.
Caterer Gelb at the request OF state
house officials has again taken charge Of
the restaurant at the marble palace to-
day, and announcement Of this fact was

The wind has executed some swell
things I'm the way OF snowdrifts. on
many a street the snow is all blown on
one side. the other being swept clean as
can be by the icy blast. In many
house this morning was discovered an un-
welcome heap OF vagrant snowfskes
thrown 10 through key holes and even
less convenient crevices. weatherstripes
windows and doors have had a rousing
good test OF their utility and fitness. The
-torm has been neither pretty nor in any
sense useful. 10 has not made good sleigh

mean storm. conspiring in every way 10

fury.
DANGER OF A TIE-UP.
At nightfall yesterday Il was apparent
that the electric car service was In danger
of an extensive tie-up. The wind was
90 wild that ~ was impossible for the
pioughs 20 keep the drifting sleet from tho
tracks. Being hard IL yielded more easily
20 the pressure OF the broad shovels on
the ploughs and its removal was not hard
20 accomplish. II gathered in the
switches with such inslstency as 20 inter
fere often with their operation. The un-
scrupulous wind let no opportunity slip
by 10 blow the sleet back upon the tracks
after the ploughs passed along.
The schedule OF the system was badly
broken up early In the evening The cars
on the longer lines ran Epasmodically. Of
tent'mes travelling In groups OF two or
three. IT'S trite saying that IN numbers
lies safety. On several OF the lines the
danger OF a tie up was very real and FOR
some hours In the early morning there
Sas little doing In the way of trolley ser
vice The suburban lines from Fall River
and other points were badly obstructed
and communication for a time was at a
stsndstill. Work-a-day people had trou-
bles galore In reaching their shops and
offices and many desk and counter was
deserted during the forenoon BY noon
time the inconvenience had so far subsid-
ed that fairly regular service was posi-.
bic. The system will be convafrsceut Tor
some hours more. but early and complete
recovery In confidently looked for.
The large corp OF Ehovelers, broomers
and ice pickers went early to work upor
the city and all the morning they battled
against wind ana driving sleet TO good

eminent and Legislature Of the State, not
aguaranty against the commission Of In
dividual ofienses; and the power OF Con-
gress, whether express or implied, to
legislate for the enforcement Of such a
guaranty does not extend 10 the passage
Of laws for the suppression OF crime
within the States In the same case IL
was held that the Fifteenth Amendment,
which relates solely to the right Of citi-
zens Of the United States 10 vote, was
intended as a restraint upon State and
not upon individual action, and that an
act Of Congress declaring IL to be crime
for any two or more persons TO conspire
TO deprive any person Of the equal protec-
ton Of the law was unconstitutional.
Again, in the well known Civil Rights
cases, decided in 1888, the Supreme
Court held in substance that the Four
teenth Amendment was prohibitory upon
the States only, and did not authorize
direct legislation by Congress in order
10 enforce its provisions.
As we have minated, the tendency Of
both Of these decisions is hostile to the
validity Of the indictment in the Higgins
case; but II Ia true, as was observed by
Judge JONES in his opinion, that the pre-
else question involved in the Higgins case
has not yet been passed upon by the
Supreme Court Of the United States.

Mayor Dunne's First Task

Even before he has an opportunity
TO accomplish the first steps toward
public ownership and operation Of the
city street railways, Mayor DUNE Of
Chicago finds another great problem Of
municipal control TO engage his serious
attention.
Since his election TO Office the public
highways Of his city have been seized
by a powerful trust which has decreed
that on none Of them shall business be
transacted.
It is obvious that il the highways pass
from the control Of the municipality,
the plans for immediate public owner
ship Of the street railways on them ap-
proved this month by the voters cannot
be carried out.
A municipal car line operated over q
right Of way controlled by a private
organization would not satisfy any advo-
cate Of public ownership. That Is the
condition the Teamsters' Union Of Chi
cago seeks 10 create.
Mayor DUNES first work must be to
prevent il. He must bring about the
complete municipalization OF Chicago's
highways before he can accomplish
anything toward city ownership Of the
transportation systems.

troduced As the strike developed, the
Employer Association took a hand In
the game. In connection with some OF
its earlier operations this body had
organized under the laws Of West Vir-
ginia, the Employer Teaming Assooia-
ton. Teams with non-union drivers
we're called into use, and efforts were
thus made to deliver merchandise for
those whose drivers had gone on strike
and who had been boycotted by other
drivers. These non-union drivers were
assaulted, beaten and prevented by
mobs from doing their work. The asso-
citation obtained from Judge KoHLsAAT
an injunction on the ground that as a
creature Of another State the Employers
Teaming Association had the right Of
protection from the Federal Government.
Their teams, several hundred in num-
Der, bear a conspicuous placard stating
that THE United States Circuit Court
has enjoined interference Of any kind
with this property or it's drivers Even
this warning did not stop the assaults.
The outcome Of the trouble may not be
predicted, except that the strike itself
will be failure. Mr.. JOB, the secretary
of the Employers Association, is doubt
less warranted in saying that when
all the machinery devised TO break the
strike is set in motion nothing can with
stand it,. It does not now seem in any
way probable that the strike will become
general, although its prolongation might
result in suspension Of various lines Of
work because Of inability to obtain ma
terials or to deliver articles for shipment.
Some apprehension is manifested re-
garding the supply Of food and fuel.
II the strikers persist and the mob wakes
angry, Chicago may experience serious
trouble.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1905-05-02
The Chicago strike.

The present labor trouble in Chicago
opened with a sympathetic strike in
which the Teamsters' Association be-
came the champions Of certain aggrieved
members Of the Garment Workers
Union. At the beginning il was a mat
ter Of insignificant proportions. 1t has
now assumed dimensions which give
cause for fear Of general paralysis Of
commerce and industry throughout the
city, with incidental evils whose effects
may be widespread. The effort to remedy
a petty grievance has widened into a
conflict in which the fundamental princi-
pies Of unionism are Involved.
The Chicago Tribune calls the strike
Of the teamsters a contest between
organized labor and organized society.
II says:
There never will be any peace until II is settled
that the organized forces Of society as GVhol,
have rgbs that the orfanlied forces VI labor mus,
respect
The Record Herald pronounces It a
question Of "the right to do business.
The question may be stated concisely by
saying that the real issue Of the present
time is whether or not the merchants Of
Chicago shall have the right Of uninter-
rupted traffic on the streets ~ m" city.
Teamsters and drivers alleging M Criev-
Hnce regarding their wage, hours Of
work, or general treatment, decline to co
any work. Either they or their friends,
or both, attempt by violent methods u
prevent others from doing that which
they have an unquestionable right 10
decline 10 do themselves. This is an old
question, and il needs no restatement
But a most interesting feature is In

oUIoLEY KEEPssEAT on CHANGE
Court FInds Nothing WrOnE IN Its transfer
IN q, n, NIngdun

aA---AAAAH
Supreme Court Justice Scott yesterday
dismissed a suit brought by creditors Of
George B. Magoun TO have set aside an
assignment made by HE exooutriz, Rather
Inc Jordan Magoun, Of bic seat In the Stock
Exchange. Magougwas a member Of Ma
Roun Bros, 4 Co.. brokers, and bis seat
was assigned 10 james NJ. Qmgley, 4 cur
toner Of the arm. TO secure him for certain
advances. The creditors set up that the
assignment was fraudulent and without
consideration.
According 10 the testimony In the action,
Magoun, who was the board member Of the
Arm, had gone short Of the market and In
the fan OF 1909, found himself unable to
deliver the stocks he had sold. 20 fllhl his
contracts he used certain stocks held by the
Arm for QliiKley's account, without the lat
tens knowledge. The stocks 30 used were
worth S285,OO0.
As a result Of these and other trans
actions the firm was on the verge Of in
sOlvency, and In December, when efforts
were being made TO stTaighten matters out,
Magoun died To help the Arm Quigley
EEreed TO lend Il considerable money, and
In return Mrs.. Jordan executed a deed
transferring the seat to Quigley, 70 whom
the firm then owed over 1900 900 in addition
TO what II owed other creditors. Quigley
then became a member Of the firm and went
into partnership with Frank Magoun.
Justice Scott says that he can find nothing
fraudulent IN the transfer, which was eyi-
IDENTIFY made TO help the firm out OF it's diffi-
culties, and was therefore for the benefit
Of all creditors, and not for Quigley's bene-
At alone. The seat at the time was valued

This will be a record year in cabin trafio

years.
The outpouring OF May travellers began
yesterday with the departure of the swift
North German Lloyd steamship Kronprins
