FOR PARKS
RAILROAD MEN SEEM To BE
LINED UP UNANIMOUSLY.
Read Cards of Park Commissioners
and Endorse Plan for Financ-
ing IL.

"Yes sir, I'm for the bond issue, ="
was to be the general expression of
r. lroad men this morning when The
q I reporter visited its shops. 1--WE
4 yuld have parks. and the scheme of
e park commissioners seems to be
an excellent one" The idea that the

POLITICS MAKES
ODD BEDFELLOWS
Who Are Wrapped Up In Dave
Cross Blanket This Year.
Low Element of Colored Voters
Seems TO BE Alienated From
the Republicans.
SITUATION is OBJECTIONABLE

Politics makes strange bedfel-
lows" This is just an epigramatic
way of saying that every political
campaign produces peculiar exigen-
cies, which necessitate strange al
liances.
The present municipal campaign is
no exception-just remarkable ex-
ample. and it is causing apprehension
in Republican ranks. The trouble
some feature is the disaffection of
the lower class of negroes. who are
working for Dave Cross who. in turn,
is holding meetings among them.
This class is outspoken against Judge
Z. w. Bagby, and the worst fears of
those who asked Judge Bagby to run
are promised realization in the event
Dave Cross is elected.
Whether Dave Cross has made
promises to the element, which has
ilocked to his standard, it is impossi-
BILE to learn from any source more au-
thentic than the very disciples of
Mr.. Cross in question, and on their
words 1t would be unfair to convict
any man.
One OF the arguments they use.
which they impute to Mr.. Cross him
self. asserting that he has held fire.
quent meetings among them, is that
Judge E. w. Bagby represented the
steamer Dick Fowler in defending
the suit for damages brought by ne
gro passengers from Cairo to Brook
port.
Dave Cross was urged on Mayor
Yeiser by the local ring to succeed
the late Judge Sanders, but Mayor
Yeiser appointed Judge e. II. Puryear
The latter by his attention to his du-
ties has reduced the time of police
court sessions to about 10 minutes
and has greatly discouraged crimes
of violence.
Judge Puryear was candidate
for the nomination but was defeated
in a primary. representing a fraction
of the Democratic vote. Many stayed
at home, refraining from participant
ing in a primary, the result of which
was foregone Judge Puryear was
not notified of the fact that the pri-
mary officers had been selected until
he got wind of 1t Saturday night just
previous and called on a committee
man.
The dlsaffection OF the lower ele-
ment of negro voters shows both To
the better element of white people
and the better element of colored
people. that Democratic office seek
ers in the stress OF campaign can be
prolific in promises.
/ The police judgship is an import
ant Office for the very reasoa that II
deals with the lower class of Grimm
ais, colored and white. against which
society must ever be on its guard
Any one who treats with this class
especially for the Office of police
jurge. who has to pass on their
crimes and misdeeds, is endangerine
the lives and property of all citizens
white and colored.

RUSSIA DOES NOT

CONSTITUTION

st. Petersburg. March Although yes
terday's manifesto and ukases referring
20 the national assembly leave consider
able vagueness regarding the exact status
Of the parliament under the new political
scheme of the government. It Is made
clear that Russia has not been granted
a. written constitution.
The cabinet, as in the German system
remains quite independent OF the majority
in parliament. Even interpretations of the
ministers are restricted to alleged viola
tions of the law and the apparent causes
OF events.
The government believes it will control
the new parliament and proposes to fight
further concessions TO the radical parties
That II expects to succeed is evident by
the fact that Premier Witte has definitely
changed his plans and will not retire on
the opening Of the national assembly.

FRAUD WAS NOT
PROVEN AND BILL
IS DISMISSED

The controversy between DR. Samuel
H. Stephens OF Valley Falls and the es-
tate of Mary T. Merris, late OF Pawtucket,
is necessarily complicated by a decision
handed down by the Supreme court to-
day.
Dr. stephens has secured one verdict
against the estate and now the Supreme
court has directed the Superior court to
dismiss bill in equity of George A.
Schuyler. administrator, with the will an
nexed Of Miss Merrise brought for the
purpose OF recovering from the doctor GER
tain certificates OF stock. bankbooks. and
other personal property claimed to belong
10 the estate OF the deceased but at the
tim OF the filing OF the bill I'm the hands
OF the doctor.
The complainant charged fraud on the
Doctors part and sought by his bill 10
establish a trust for the benefit OF the
estate and TO have Il turned over. After
fun hearing the Superior court granted
the relief sought and DR.. stephens took
an appeal. Judge Parkhurst writes the
opinion OF the court handed down to-
day directing the dismissal OF the bill.
in the course OF which he says:
THE Superior court IN its opinion de-
cides that the only fraud charged I'm the
bill is constructive fraud, etc We can
not agree with this decision. We are OF
the opinion that the bill charges the re-
spondent with actual fraud I'm the pro-
curing OF the gift and also charges such
conduct and such facts and circum-
stances and such relations between the de-
ceased and the respondent in relation to
tn gift as, If proved. would be sufficient
TO import constructive fraud; and that the
bill was so framed as TO lay the founda-
tion for the prooof of actual fraud.
These charges Of both actual and con-
structive fraud are 60 interlaced and
interviewer with each other that II is
difficult TO separate them; but 1t is evil
dent upon reading them that it would
have been competent for the complain
ant to offer proof OF the forgery of the
body OF the paper purporting TO be n
gift, or Of the signature 10 the same; or
that the same was signed by the deceased
Under duress or threats, or by reason of
actual misrepresentation; and many other
things are alleged. proof OF which would
have shown actual fraud on the part OF
the respondent"
Judge Parkhurst says there is no evil
dence of actual fraud on the Doctors part
The testimony shows that the doctor was
and that the administrator does not be-
lieve the doctor acted with due regards
To the rights OF tho deceased
Judge ParkhIrst Gays the rule has long
been established in this state In courts
Of equity, that where a bill makes
charges OF actual fraud. which are not
established at the hearing. the bill will
be dismissed, Notwithstanding IL states
other grounds upon which relief might
have been granted II not blended with
the allegations of fraud"
