The recent decision OF the New York
supreme court that a passenger has the
right TO demand and receive a transfer

line by which he intends to continue his
journey, has no application to the opera

counsel for that corporation.
Mr.. Angel says that the law in this
state specifically provides that a passen-
ger desiring a transfer must ask for II at
the time of paying. his fare: and IL a
transfer is not asked for then, II may be
withheld. Mr.. Angel says the law in

WHAT MISSOURI
DEMOCRATS SAY
IN THEIR PLATFORM

Jefferson City, Mo-, June 6.-The
platform adopted at the Democratic
state convention last night declares
that william Jennings Bryan was de-
feated by corrupt campaign contribu-
tions by trusts: that he is the great
American Democrat, and that Missouri
demands his election to the presidency
In 1908; declares against issuing free
transportation to political conventions
by railroads. and asks reduction OF
passenger rates.
The platform denounces the tariff
and censures President Roosevelt for
favoring the present system after de-
claring for tariff revision. 1t also
censures President Roosevelt for his
stand on the railroad rate bill and
the Republican party for not giving
statehood to oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory.

FIRST SIGN OF FREEDOM
Russian Parliament to Meet

St. Petersburg, Feb. 26.-Reports from

hold the elections I'm more than half
the districts and open the national as
sembly May 10 with a working major
ity. the cabinet has recommended that
the first meeting Of the Russian parlia-
ment be held, and the long-expected
imperial ukase to that effect was pro-
mulgated today. This definite an
nouncement furnished a convincing an
swer to the revolutionary argument
that the government had no intention
of convokin~ the national assembly. IT
is expected to do far more toward COM
plotting the tTanquilization of the coun-
try than all the repressiVe measures of
Interior Minister Durnovo, of whose
waning power the ukase is but one of
several indications.
Many of the members including rep
resentatives of the Caucasus, Siberia,
Poland, the Baltic provinces and even
of important cities like Kieff, will
probably not be chosen in time to par
ticipate in the organization of the ma
tional assembly and its opening ses-
sions. But the urgent need for a speedy
convocation Of the new parliament In
order to reassure the country regard
ing the intentions of the government
overweighed the disadvantages Of in
complete representation. A second
ukase annuls the requirement OF SIM
ultaneous election throughout the en-
pire.
The place for the convocation of the
national assembly is the historic XII
ride palace here built by Catherine II
for her favorite, Prince Potemkine. and
