DURAND AND LUKE WIN.
Murray Justice and the Lukes Carr!
Points in Court.

In the decision Of Judge Lewis in
sustaining the motion to strike from
the files the amended petition for a
writ OF certlorari against defendant in
the case Of John Walsh against Justice
OF the Peace Durand of Murray, the
defendant and Francis g. Luke, James
A. Luke and Thomas Kane have won a
victory which viii dispose Of one of
the counts against them In the COM
plant charging them with criminal
conspiracy.
In hts petition for writ OF certior-
ari Walsh alleged that Luke fraudu-
lently secured a Judgment against him
in Durand's court IN favor OF Mrs. n.
H. Hennesy for $40 for house rent II
was claimed by Walsh that he filed an
affidavit with Durand asking for a
change of venue and that while the mo-
ton was pending Durand rendered
Judgment against him.
Durand. by his attorney, filed de-
murrer to the petition on the ground
that 1t did not state facts sufficient to
constitute a cause of action and this
demurrer was sustained. Walsh thei
filed an amended petition for a writ OF
certorari and the attorney for Durand
filed a motion to strike said amended
petition from the files for the reason
that 1t was filed without leave OF court
and further because II was scandalous,
lmpertnent and libelous, This motion
has now been granted by Judge Lewis
and Judgment was entered In favor OF
defendant for his costs.
In the complaint for criminal con-
spiracy against Durand and Luke this
case of Hennesy against Walsh was
made the basis of one OF the counts,
Now that Durand has won the case it
will shatter that count In the complaint
all to pieces.
Justice Durand and the Merchants
Protective association won two other
victories yesterday; in the city court.
the case wherein VIM. Hobbs sued
Justice Durand and Jas. a. Luke for
$500 for wrongful arrest was dis
missed. In the District court the case
Of Paul Engler against Dursnd and
Christensen Bros. asking $500 dam
ages was decided In favor of the de-
PENDANTS. Engler was sued for a
grocers bill due Christensen Bros. and
he claimed that the judgment obtained
was fraudulent and void, but the de-
cision disposes Of the case against
him.

MODEST MILLIoNAIREs.

T N ONE Of his articles discussing the Ameri-
n can millionaire. his habits of thought and
his actions the great Italian Lombroso declared
that in endowing educational institutions and in
other methods of scattering wealth the million
aires we're moved almost solely by desire for
ostentatious display. They gave endowments in
an attempt to outdo each other. This opinion is
also held by others and it is refreshing, therefore,
to discover a colony of milionaires in one part OF
the county, who are most modst in their holdings
and who seek to make no vain display OF their
wealth which might arouse the envy of their
neighbors and those who are less fortunate in
financial way. They are modest millionaires, and
when the tax collector or assessor comes around
they would rival Moses in their meelness.
In the suburbs of Cleveland, itself considered
quite wealthy city, dwes colony composed al
most exclusively of millionaires. They are
hedged in from the common herd No man who
has not made money in speculation, in using spe-
cai privileges, in the Standard Oil monopoly, or
in some Of the many ways by which great wealth
is accumulated, is permitted to enter the sacred
precincts Of the colony.
But according to the books of the tax assessor,
all these citizens live in quiet way. They are
satisfied with the bare necessities of life Luxury
among them is unknown. For instance, they re-
turn to the assessors their valuation of their own
watches at SIS EACH The pianos in their own
homes are worth only $40. Their horses are val
ued at SIS.
How the tax collector must be affected by such
modesty There are sixty-fve men in this colony
and each is supposed to be worth at least ST. 5oo-
900. Yet their personal property returns are less
than $4,000.
The lesson is interesting and instructive. It is
a question OF how far the conduct OF the lying
rich who evade their share of taxes and seek to
avoid their responsibilities to the State are re-
sponsible for the crooked consciences that every
now and then result in moral and financial lapses
such as defalcatons. breaches of trust and thiev-
ing in high life. The rich by many, are looked
upon as examples. The criminal rich have many
imitators, and they often spread polluted and
communicating influence throughout the body
polite.

LABOR STRENGTH IN MAINE

q CONGRESSMAN LITTLEFIEI,D, upon
whom the American Federation OF Labor
conducted fight, alleging that he was unfriendIy
TO the interests OF organized labor, has been re-
elected in Maine by majority fewer than one
thousand. Two years ago he was chosen by the
same district by majority OF more than FIVE
thousand. The cutting down OF Littlefeld's plu-
raity showed the great strength of the labor
unions in the district and possibly marks a new
era in our politics. Littleheld scraped through
by the small vote and he had the foremost lead
ers OF the administration summoned to his aid.
They tried to make it appear that defeat of the
Congressman would be a rebu1e to President
Roosevelt.
AS soon as the organs Of the corporations saw
that Littleheld would have a close shave and
might not win at all, they sent out the stories
that Littlefeld had weaknesses other than his
opposition to labor and that il he were beaten it
would be due to the other causes rather than to
the activity Of the unions.
The result in Littleheld's district will cause po-
litical managers to take notice. 1t may mean the
formation of party like the labor parties in Eu-
rope the outcome of which would be that the So
called labor interests would ultimately have a
large representation in Congress. At present
they have no member Of the national legislature,
but in view of the changing times this condition
cannot be expected to last very long.

rHE LOOTED TRusT coMPANY.

TN 1892 the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
n decided in the case of Swentze VS. Penn
Bank that where director, acting upon the in
formation obtained in his confidential relation
with the bank wthdraws on the day of the sus-
pension Of the bank, his deposits, he will be or
dered to repay it. With this decision staring
them in the face, some Of the men charged with
the management of the Real Estate Trust Com
pany may with very good reason quake in their
boots lest the examination being conducted by
the District Attorney discloses that they re-
moved some OF their funds just before the crash
OF last week came. The warrants which have
been issued against three of the men said to be
implicated in the failure indicate that the District
Attorney will make efforts to find out who the
rascals are, though of course it is possible that
Mr.. Bell may grow lukewarm in his enthusiasm
before the probing is completed. 1t may turn
out that his bark is worse than his bite, and he
may have no better luck than he had in his prose-
cation of the Filtration cases. It is to be hoped
that Mr.. Bell will continue his Investigations, un-
til he reaches the men higher up"
The vast amount of money placed with trust
companies banks, and other concerns, through
out the country, requires that these funds be
safeguarded and it is high time that the liability
of directors who are supposed to look after such
matters be definitely determined, so that deposi-
tors may know just where they stand and what
recourse they have. If there is no law applicable
to directors who do not direct, and who negli-
gently fail TO famiharize themselves with the con-
dition Of their company to the loss and ruin OF
their patrons, then the sooner we find it out the
better, SO that some redress may be provided by

BLACK SIGNAL SYSTEM
Interstate Commerce Commission
Wants to Know IL Railroads Are
Making Travel Safer.

The Interstate Commerce Commission rs
preparing to enter into an exhaustive in
vestigation as to the use of the block
signalling system on the railroads Of the
country. and has called on the various
railroads for detailed information. This
was made the duty Of the Commission BY
a Joint Resolution of the last Congress
The frequency Of collisions. and the ter
rible loss of life consequent thereon has
made II incumbent that something should
be done to make travelling safer. Few
battles Of modern times can bring forth
greater list Of dead than the American
railroads show every year.
The commission has forwarded to the
railroads a series of questions calling for
full statistics as to the practice OF tho
roads and the present state of the art
generally ana the salient points as to the
merits OF the block signal, or space-in-
terval principle for the running of rail-
road trains and also as TO what progress
Is being made in the Introduction OF
improvements The whole information,
when obtained and compiled wil be LAID
before Congress.
The joint resolution calling for this IN
formation, and making II the duty OF
the commission to secure IT, was intro
duced by Representative James r. Mann,
of Illinois, and is very broad In its terms,
and the commission proposes TO give
wide scope to the investigation. It will in
quire into value Of all meritor.ous de-
vices for the control of trains whsa have

adoption of his resolution called atten-
tion TO the many collisions and the har-
vest Of death annually paid by the travel

th..t his resolution was adopted without
opposition. No doubt exists in the minds
of the people that radical measures aie
