The Standard absolutely fixes the

Argument Was Begun Yester-

Tho Question to BE Settled Is, Was
Insurance Political Contribu-

FELONIOUS INTEREST DENIED

New York, May 9.-Argument was
begun yesterday on the George w
Perkins case in the appellate division
of the supreme court. Mr. Perkins
was formerly vice president of the
New York Life Insurance company.
He was brought before the court in
March on a charge brought to test
the question whether the making of
political contributions from insurance
companies funds constitutes crime
The case now comes before the APP
pellate division on an appeal from q
ruling by Justice Greenbaum tina.
such contributions constitute lar
ceny. Mr.. Perkins was represented
today by former Judge William N
Cohen, Lewis L. Lelafleld and How
ard l.. Cans. In opposition to the
appeal appeared District Attorney
Jerome and Samuel Untermeyer.
Judge Cohen in opening the argu.
ment contended that there is not suf
iicient legal evidence to Justify the
magistrate in assuming jurisdiction
in this case and the property taken
was contributed for the benefit OF its
true owners.
Judge Cohen then presented a Sc
ries OF arguments along the same
line, which counsel for Mr.. Perkins
followed when the case was argued
before Judge Greenbaum. Judge Co
hen said that If the court held that
in campaign contributions the prop
erty was not taken for the benefit of
its true owners then the proper
course of action would be active suit
to recover it, He declared that at
the time it was made Mr.. Perkins
contribution was not prohibited by
law. The chief question, said Judge
Cohen. ''is one of intent and there Is
absolutely no proof of felonious in
tent"
District Attorney Jerome made an
argument in support of Justice

THE solution of the railroad situ-
alton in this state is certainly not to
leave the laws the way they are and
trust their enforcement to a sympa-
thetic governor and railroad com
mission. We must look to the leg
islature for better laws-laws which
will compel results, as they have
been compelled in Kansas, in Iowa
and in Wisconsin. And in our
choice of governor as between the
candidate who declares our laws
are deficient and sufficient" and the
candidate who advocates specifi-
cally number of quite important
reforms and favors besides addi-
tional legislation as experience
shows to be necessary, we at least
cannot hesitate in our choice. We
cannot hope that Johnson, holding
the view he does, will inaugurate
any reform. From Cole and a leg
islature in accord with him we are
given every reason to expect not
only that our system of law will be
improved, but they will be enforced
with vigor.-Joel P. Heatwole in the

attack on Senator Knute Nelson in
connection with railroad rate legis-
lation in the United States senate
Mr.. Nelson's enemies made great
ado over LaFollette's accusations.
The railroad rate bill was the pet
measure of the administration in
the last session of congress. Gen.
James H. Baker of Mankato wrote
directly to the president and asked
him if the course pursued by Sena-
tor Nelson, when the bill was under
in the senate, was
satisfactory to the administration.
The presidents reply, which is Civ
en- herewith, effectually disposes of
LaFollette's allegations and should
silence Mr.. Nelson's detractors in
this state.

In answer to your question it is a
