HUGHES SIGNS REFORM BILL.
Public Utilities Measure Of Tremen-
" dous Importance. H..

Albany, N. Y, Juno 6.--The So
called public utilities bill was signed
today by Governor Hughes. This bill
Is probably one Of tho most far reach
ing reform measures ever passed by
an American Legislature. It places
under direct State control every pub
lie service corporation, great or small,
in the State Of New York, with the
exception Of the telephone and tele-
graph. 1t applies not only to the rail-
roads, street railway and subway
lines, express companies and gas and
electric lighting companies doing bust
ness in the state, but to the business
within this state of all railroad or
other common carriers which enter
the state at any point. The two COM
missions created by the Act will have
most sweeping powers in regulating
the corporations affected. The, bill,
which was urged by Governor Hughes,
reached its final passage IL the face
of the most bitter and determined
opposition. 1t was fought first to last
by representatives of many Of the tre-
mendously strong and wealthy cor
porations which will feel the weight Of
the regulations it imposes. For days
in the two branches of the Legisla-
ture the most bitter denunciations
were heaped upon the measure. When
finally it was forced through the AS
sembly and the Senate it was sent
back for reconsideration with the
veto of Mayor Mcclellan, of New
York city, to whom it went under the
law which provides that all laws di-
rectly affecting the city must be pass
ed upon by the mayor. Then came fur
ther debating in the State Capitol
resulting in the passage of the bill
over the mayors veto.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Democrats Will Not Favor Initiative
and Referendum--Nain Plank
Tariff Reform.
James S. Mccarthy.


Washington, D. c., June 10.-If
the opinions Of leading Democrats
dropping into Washington from time
to time count for anything plank
demanding the initiative and referen-
dun will not be incorporated in the
next platform Of the National Demo
cracy. The proposition to insert such a
plank in the platform is advocated
only by those who formerly affiliated
with the Populist Party. No genuine
Democrat, whether from the South,
North, East, or West, has yet endors-
ed his plan, and it can be safely said
that the party will not be menaced
by such an issue in the next Presi-
Dental election.
The strongest protests against the
incorporation Of such plank in the
Democratic platform have come from
the South. Southern Democrats rea-
lie the danger of such form of gov
ernment more fully than those of
any other section, and as the conven-
tion will be controlled by the repres-
entatives of that section, it can be
asserted in all confidence that the
platform will be minus that piece of
Populistic timber.
Southern Democrats point out that
had, initiative and referendum pre-
. vailed in 1891, when the iniquitous
Force Bill was being considered by
Congress, the South would not today
be enjoying the blessings Of white su-
premacy. The Republican Party, which
controlled Congress at the time, and
which has always bid for the negro
vote, would have for political rea-
sons, if for no other, submitted the
question: to the people, and the North
being the stronger in votes, the same
would have been approved at the
polls, and Federal bayonets would be
in the South today to see that the ne
gro be not denied the privilege Of the
ballot.
1t is also claimed that should ini-
ntiative and referendum prevail, Con-
Sgress, upon the petition Of fifteen per
Dent Of the male citizens of the coun-
try, would be compelled to initiate
and refer to the people for adoption
any law that might appeal to the
whim and fancies Of the petitioners.
For example, should the negroes Of
the country petition Congress to ini-
tiate a law to reduce representation
Of the Southern States in Congress
because Of their disfranchisement of
the negro, that body would be COM
PEELED to refer such law to the peo-
pie for approval, and there would be
little doubt of its adoption, rs the
Republican voters Of the North and
West are always ready to seize an
opportunity to deal the South
deadly blow.
If the sentiment today is an indi-
cation Of Democratic tendency, the
paramount plank is the next Democra-
tic platform will be tariff revision.
The platform will contain no declara-
ton obnoxious to the views Of any
good Democrat; it will be framed
along tines to meet the views Of all
factions of the party. Initiative and

BRYAN STILL IN 1T.
Nebraskan Doesn't Say That He WIN
Not Run If Roosevelt Is Nomi-
mated.

Lincoln (Nebs.) Dispatch to the New
York World.
In his Commoner, which will appear
Friday, w. j. Bryan goes boldly into
the question: Of the Presidential sue
cession and the possible candidates on
either ticket.
In the beginning, he denounces as
"fakes' stories sent, as he says,
from Lincoln, quoting his friends as
speaking for him. He especially OBJ
jects to the statement that he will not
be candidate in case President
Roosevelt is renominated. On this
subject he says:
"Every reader Of the Commoner
knows that Mr.. Bryan has indorsed
the good things done by President
Roosevelt, and has done so with salts
faction, but he has also pointed out
the undemocratic things that the Pres
ident has said and done. Mr.. Bryan
has never said anything or done any
thing that indicated a desire to have.
in fact, the third term idea has been
discussed with the same frankness
that characterizes the discussion of
other questions.
"Mr. Bryan is opposed to second
term. During both Of the campaigns
in which he Was o. candidate for Sec
ond term. It is hardly to be expected
that he would advocate the cleo
ton Of the President to third term.
When the President retires in March,
1909, he will have served about seven
years and half, and that is so near
two full terms that no possible Jug
Cling with words can convert it into
one term.
,"The thrird-termis issue would Of it.
self rule the President out, and while
he has indorsed several Democratic
measures, he has not carried these as
far as the Democrats would have car
ried them, and has indorsed only
portion of the Democratic platform,
and the popularity which the Presi-
dent has won by carrying a few De-
mocratic measures for a little way
shows how popular q real Democrat
would be who carried out all Demo-
cratic principles.'
Concerning the question of the De-
mocratic nominee Mr.. Bryan quotes
Henry Watterson as saying he can
suggest a candidate who is ideal and
can unite the party.
"Who is this man whose name is
concealed, but whose personal fitness
and political pre-eminence are thus
Bryan does not pose as a Warwick.
He has no desire to assume the role
of candidate maker. He mildly pro-
tests against the Interpretations Of
his position by those who prefer some
one else, but he is not eager to have
hand in the making of candidate.
The would-be Warwicks should not
forget that, after all, the question Of
candidacy cannot be settled by few
leaders. Leaders propose, but the vot-
ers dispose. Mr.. Watterson owes it to
his party and to his country to bring
out his candidate-one, Of he has one,
several, if he has several.'
Mr.. Bryan then enumerates the
qualifications a Democratic candi-
date must possess, following his we'll
known reasoning.

 NOT GUILTY
Negro Charged With Highway Rob. bery Proves Strong Alibi-S0r- rells and Toney Get Warm in
 Court Room.

Elisha Clark, the negro who was recently arrested by Patrolmen Reid finger, Meeks and Wilson On a charge of highway robbery and assault and battery, was tried before Justice J. A. Frazier yesterday afternoon. Ill the absence of the assistant prosecut- ing attorney, H. k.s Toney was ln charge of the prosecution. The pris- oner was represented by Walter B. Sorrells. For three long hours the rival attorneys locked horns" which ended in the dismissal of the case against the negro. Attorney Sorrells secured the freedom of his client by
 means of strong alibi. The scenes in the little court room were very stormy at times and the rival attor- neys were frequently censured by the J. F. for their conduct. The two men who claimed that they were held up positively identified the prisoner, but nothing more could be proven against him. During the course of the trial Attorney Sorrells took the stand him. self and materially strengthened his case by his own testimony.
