PRESIDENT STANDING PAT
Telegram In Reply to Inquiry by
Legislative Committee Of Penn
sy1vanin state Orange.


washington, President Roose-
welt reiterated his views on rail.
road rate legislation, Sunday, in a
telegram sent to the legislative COM
mittee OF the Pennsylvania state
grange. The telegram follows:
Washington, May CIV. f. Hill
and Members Legislative Committee,
Pennsylvania State Grange; Tele-
gram received. am happy to tell
you that not only am l standing on
my original position as regards rate
legislation, but 1t seems likely that
congress will take this position, too.
The Hepburn bill meets my views,
as l have from the beginning stated.
The Allison amendment is only
declaratory Of what the Hepburn bill
must mean, supposing 1t to be con-
stitutional, and NO genuine friend Of
the bill car object to 1t without
stultifying himself. In addition, |
should be glad to get certain amend
ments such as those commonly
known as the Long and Overman
amendments, but they are not vital.
and even without them, the Hepburn
bill, with the Allison amendment,
contains practically exactly what l
have both originally and always since
asked for, and If enacted into law 1t
will represent the longest step ever
yet taken In the direction Of solving
the railway rate problem.

Many OF st. Louis Most Prominent
Men Attended His unera Sat-
urday Afternoon.

were men prominent in all walks OF
business and professional life.
Rev. DR.. Samuel ]. N~iccolls, pastor
Of the Second Presbyterian church,
oficiated, paying an eloquent tribute
to the worth of the deceased.
In the course of a memorial sub
mitted, at a meeting at the Mer.
chants exchange, by a committee
headed by David r. Francis, occurs
the following:
THE career of Corwin H. Spencer
should be a proud heritage to those
who come after him, a qualification
to those who love him, and an en-.
couragement to all who strive. Ever
mindful of his duties of citizenship,
imbued with civic pride, with a public
spirit that was c~ommendable and
broadening, he was made of the stuff
that i%naugurates and establishes
great enterprises, hat infuses con.
hdence into a communicated a
spirit Is contagious and builds up
great cities. Ever ready to devote
his means, as well as his time and
service, to public work, he was a
leader in that class without which,
cities would not grow,
wealths would not prosper. and
civilization would remain at a stand.

back many pleasant memories.
Wharton is one of the best catchers

the mainstay behind the bat of the

but as yet he has not signed.
Alexander Pearson, Of Freedom,
| the well known pitcher, has applied
for the management of the East
Liverpool team in the Pennsylyan-
ia, Ohio and West Virginia league.
His application is being considered,
and there is a probability of his be-
ing engaged. There are others also
after the position. Pearson should
make a good mafager. He has that
faculty Of getting along with fellow
players that is an essential factor in.
la players success. He has been in.
the big leagues, playing with the
lSt. Louis Nationals and with Cleve-
Hand in the American league. He
has been with Altoona two years, and

TOLD IN THE HILLS.
BY THE IDLER'

The YanDyke & Eaton company
presented for the fourth night 81
their engagement "Told in The
Hills The Indictment weather
kept a number away, but a fair-sized
audience was present.
Told in the Hills" as this COM
pany calls the piece is an unusually
good play, but unfortunately it is
too good for repertoire. Repertoire
audiences don't look for as good a
class of plays as 'sThe Idlerp and
Others of that nature, and conse-
quently don't take them with the
amount of seriousness that a good
play deserves. There is also a GER
tain portion Of a repertoire audience
to whom such plays are Greek. We
overheard two news boys talking yes
terday, when one said to the other,
dat shows on de bum. Dere ami
been guy pulled gun yet" And
that element makes mp good por-
ton Of a repertoire audience.
Miss Eaton last evening was a
lady. OF COURSE she is always that
but on this occasion she was the wife
of British peer. Miss Eaton again
displayed some marvellous creations
in millinery. Whatever this com
pany may lack in scenery is n.ade
up for by Miss Eaton's wardrobe.
Miss Jackson was again cute and
pretty. She and Miss Eaton were
half sisters. The family resemb-
lance was easily recognized by the
blonde wigs which both wore. The
wigs were evidently relations if the
wearers were not.
A curious psychological fact was
revealed last night. The Inc Of
parts played by an actor so stamps
itself upon his individuality that he
can play nothing else. Mr.. 0'Con-
nor could not be a william, neither
could Mr.. Dyorak be lead. II
seemed curious switching Of char.
acters last night, as though Mr.,
Dvorak had said to Mr.. 0'Connor,
cold chap" all actors say old chap,
because at some time they had said
they were going to Lunnon, 'yeu
take The william tonight, my throat
i sore from the cigarettes. Mr.
lO'Connor. persuaded Miss Eaton Il
leave the repertoire actor she wa.
married to and go with him. III,
signal was for her to drop her bou.
quot Of flowers. Circumstance.
over which she had no control cans
cd her to do 50, and Mr.. O,Connor
when he espied the signal-laugh
ed. At what, there is secret, h,
laughed at the idea of his being ;
william.
Mr.. Holloway played a very cos
lmopolitan valet. He started in lif,
as cokney and wound up as
Frcnchman. The part was 50 ymal
that an actor could be par,loned 70
''kidding." Mr.. Holloway ut tht
othcr actors to doing the same. On,
imam must have thought he was Of
a ship, cave, aye, mate he said
.KiddingY is very Infectious, anl
one actor can start the others, bu
bit is bad thing for the actor whel
the audience decide to JOIN in tn
game.
Miss Jackson, Mr.. Mccoy an,
1Ir. Foster were the speciality artist
last night. and each scored thei
customary success. Mr.. McCoy ]

thanked the ladies for the expression Of

the record in this case, to hold him
liable to conviction for this offense be-
cause the money he voted upon was
money that the special deposit held
from the sale of the bonds To hold
him accountable, would of necessity, be
holding that the first payments made
upon the court house construction,
either upon the contract or upon the
special contract for extras, were legal
up to the time the $75, 900 90 was ex-
hausted, and therefore, those who voted
to borrow money within that time, are
not liable for their wrong doing. To
hold that, to hold the respondent
now, upon the theory that the $75, co. 90
in law was. exhausted when the $75,-
OOO.O0 in work was completed, would of
necessity result in the excusing of those
who voted for raising the money before
this $75,O00.00 had been spent, by
reason of their contract. or set
aside for the satisfaction of that
contract, and it would be to hold
the respondent in this case liable
for his action upon the theory that he
is to be held for what the others did and
excuse the others for theit action when
they are supposed to know what they
were doing.
1t results therefore, from my view of
the case, gentlemen of the jury, that
there can be no conviction under the
record in this case, of the respondent on
this charge.
The court. in passing upon this, passes
upon an individual case, passes upon
the record in this case, and what the
court has said about the acts and the
doings by others before the respondent
became member of the board, said be-
cause Of the record in this case, and the
inference that properly might be drawn
from the record, and for the purpose
one purpose, ofseparating this case from
all other cases.
You are directed by the court, gentle
men Of the jury without leaving your
seats, to return verdict OF not guilty
Prosecuting Hamper said, 81 am sat
isfied with the way things have gone.
We have taken one of the lightest cases,
and found where and why conviction
in that particular case was impossible
Now we can fall back on the heavier
cases where technicalities will not avail
Supposing one Of these heavy cases had
been tried first, and technicality had
prevailed? We would have been right
up against it on any of the others.
Now the decks have been cleared, and
we, knowing what to. avoid, can go
ahead, and push the other cases. Don't
you think the Martin case will make
any difference with the others, for it
won't, can assure you they will be
