the cigarette interests when the

any more, according to Sheriff Ed
ward Sourbier, who returned this
morning from Hamilton, Ont, which
is said to have been Bakers tempo
rary home until few months ago.
Sourber said today that he did not
go to Hamilton to see Baker and make
an effort to induce him to return to
bribery which hangs over his head
here. Sourbier accounted for his
presence in Hamilton by saying he
went there on purely personal bust
ness.
Bakers present whereabouts is not
known to Sourbier, the latter says, al
though he admits that the much-want-
ed representative of the cigarette
trust was in Hamilton for several
months, and until June 6, 1906, when
he left for some unknown place.
NO, I didn't go to Hamilton to see
Baker and fry to get him back in In
dianapolis by persuasion, Sourbier
said. Il was there on personal bus
mess, business which has nothing to
do with the sheriff's office. Baker
was in Hamilton UP until June 6.

..Dou you think Baker is in Lon

Well, don't know l don't
suppose he is: you can't tell any
thing about it.'
Sheriff Sourbier has stated several
times during the last few months
that he hoped to induce Baker TO re-
turn to indianapolis and face the
charge Of bribery against him here.

Attorney Mott appeared before Justice Scott

yesterday and asked for "a special panel
of talesmen from which to get a jury to
try Max Eckmann, the Municipal Ownership
Assemblyman from the Twelfth Assembly

publicans.
Mr.. Mott said that the case was a COM
plicated one-the charge is conspiracy
and that there were a number Of technical
points involved. He said the trial would
take several days.
Lawyer Pinney, who appeared for
Eckmann, said that he could see no reason
for a special panel, as the case was an or
binary one of conspiracy of no special
interest.

case, he said, centres right In the Criminal

TWO VETOES BY GOV. HIGGINS.
One Hill Was Int ended TO Limit the Use OF
the Waters os Niagara River.

ALBANY, May 2l.-Gov. Higgins has We
toed Assemblyman Foelker's bill which
purported to limit the Use Of the waters OF
the Niagara River by the electrical power
companies. In vetoing the bill Gov. Hig-
gins fled a memorandum in which he says:
Il recommended to The Legislature that a
limit be placed upon the amount Of water
which may be taken from Niagara River by
existing active power companies. To my
mind this implied legislation fixing the
maximum number Of cubic feet per second
that might lawfully be drawn from the
river by suoh companies. This bill pro-
vides that the rights Of existing corporations
shall be- limited and restricted to taxi from
the river a quantity Of water equal TO the
quantity which said corporations oan by
virtue OF their present rights draw under
their present chart ers.
"This provision either Is meaningless
"a being only deolaratory Of present law
or else 1t doubles the quantity Of water which
such corporations may lawfully use. The
Legislative intent doubtless was to help save
Niagara, but the expression OF such intent
by this bill IL not f%elicitous. Approval
thereof on my part would under no con-
ditions place the slightest restriction upon
the power companies or upon future Iegis-

opposite result from that intended"
Gov. Higgins has also vetoed Senator
Brackets bill TO compel insurance and
other corporations TO pay the expenses OF
actions brought by policyholders and stock
holders against the corporation for a waste
OF the corporation funds in case the actions
are successful. In vetoing this bill Gov.
Higgins says;
This bill differs from Senate bill 7os,
vetoed by me, in that II limits the costs In
q stockholders action to 10 per centum Of
the amount restored to the corporation or
recovered, but, like the former, 1t provides
that the expenses incurred by the plaintiff
may be allowed without limitation as to
amount and without reference to the sum
recovered.
Il would have approved a bill which
permitted the court In these cases to make
an additional extra allowance, based on the
amount recovered, TO cover plaintiffs
expenses where the corporation is sub
stantially benefited by plaintiffs activities,
being itself at fault through the negligence
or wrongful acts Of it's board Of directors,
but ! cannot approve the policy Of en-
oouraging stockholders' litigations at the
expense Of the corporation, where, in the
event OF plaintiffs success, the amount
restored to the corporation would he neg"
