DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE is.
Hearst Says There is Doubt as to His
Party Allegiance.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 27. Former
Mayor James M. Mcclure, of this city,
recently declared he could not support
W. R. Hearst any longer, because Mr..
Hearst is not Democrat, but that he
was for Mr.. Bryarfstrong, because Mr..
Bryan is for the initiative and referen-
dunn. The Herald asked Mr. Hearst to
comment upon the statement, and today
received reply. Mr.. Hearst says in
part
81 am not candidate for any office
whatever, so there would be no oppor-
tunity for Mayor MCGUIRE to favor me
with his valued support, even if he were
IN complete agreement with my princi-
pies and purposes. Then again, Mayor
Mcclure may be quite right in his as
sumption that am not Democrat. l
am firm believer in the principles
which Jefferson enunciated, in the prin-
ciples which Lincoln revived, interpret
ed and exemplified. believe absolute
ly, not only in Jefferson's theory of
equal rights for all and special privileges
to none, but in its practical application
to every phase of public policy"
81 believe in Jefferson's government
for the greatest good, of the greatest
number, and in Lincoln's government
of the people, by the people, for the
people. would have been a Democrat
in Jefferson's day, and Republican in
Lincoln's day, but whether / can prop
erly be classified as Democrat in the
present day is matter which ! admit
is subject to legitimate doubt"
''In conclusion let me say that in my
opinion there is no question about the
value of initiative and referendum, and
let me add, have advocated the same
measures for many years, and what is
more to the point, we have succeeded
in Los Angeles, where have a news
paper, in putting them into such prac-
tical operation that they are embodied
in the city charter and employed in the
city government.

SCHEDULES MUST
SUIT The PUBLIC
United States Supreme Court Makes
Important Decision.
1T DOES NOT INVOLVE RATES
opiniOn Handed Down in North Carolina
Case That Railroads Must Serve the
Public Although They May Suffer Loss.

Washington, April 29.-The Supreme
Court of the United States today de-
cided in effect that the railroad COM
missioners of North Carolina can COM
pei railroad company, operating in
that State, to so adjust its schedule as
to accommodate passengers on other
lines from any particular part of the
State.
The opinion was delivered by Justice
White, in the case of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company vs.. the Corpo-
ration Commission of North Carolina.
The case arose out of an order issued by
the commissioners directing the railroad
company to make connection at Selma
at FPS p. m, with train on line run
ming from the eastern part of the State,
with the object of accommodating pass
engers whose destination was Raleigh.
The company resisted the order on the
ground that it could not be complied
with without putting on a special train
which would involve extra expense.
This, it was contended amounted to TAX
ing property without due process of law.
the Commission justified its course on
The ground that compliance with the
order was necessary to accommodate a
large part of the public. The Supreme
Court of North Carolina held against
the railroad company, and its decision
was affirmed by today's action of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
on the ground that the order of the
Commission does not affect the rates,
but is proper act of State regulation.
Justice White discussed at length the
contention of the railroad company that
the case involved rates in any way, and
said:
'This case does not involve enforce
ment by State of a general scheme of
maximum rates, but only whether an
exercise of State authority to compel a
carrier to perform a particular and
specified duty is so inherently unjust
and unreasonable as to amount to the
deprivation of property without due
process of law, or denial of the equal
protection of the laws. In a case in
volving the validity of an order enforc-
ing a scheme of maximum rates, of
course the finding that the enforcement
of such scheme will not produce an ade-
quate return for the operation of the
railroad, in and of itself demonstrates
the unreasonableness of the order

PACKERS MUST
PAY THE FINES
Penalties of $4,000 Against Armour,
Swift, Norris and Cudahy.
ACCEPTED REBATES ON SHIPMENTS
Judge SanbOrn Of United States Circuit
Court of Appeals Files Opinion Affirming
Judgments of District Court of Missouri.

st. raul, April 29.DJudge Sanborn
today filed the opinion of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, which
he had written, affirming the Judgments
of the United States District Court for
the Western District of Missouri,
against the packers, for accepting con-
cessions of II cents per 100 pounds from
the portion of the established rate for
the transportation of the provisions on
true bills of lading from Kansas City to
Christina and other points in foreign
countries. Judges Cook and Adams
concur in the opinion. The lower court
imposed penalty of SIS, 900 on each of
the indicted firms, and these fines have
been affirmed.
The defendants involved in the de-
cision are: Armour Packing Company;
Swift & Co.; Morris & Co., and the
Cudahy Packing Company.
These cases are the first of the So
called rebate cases brought by the
United States against the packers to be
determined by the Appellate Court and
will form the basis for future action un-
til the Supreme Court reviews the de-
-cision. The substance of the conclu-
sion reached by the court are:
''The giving or receiving of rebate
or concession whereby property in in
terstate or foreign commerce is trans
ported at less rate than that legally
published is a violation of the Elkins
act and is a continuous crime, adjudi-
cable in any court of the United States
to ports of trans-shipment and from
ports of entry to places in the United
States, of property in foreign commerce
carried under through bills of lading are
required to be filed and published by the
amended interstate commerce act of
1887.
eff carried under. an aggregate
through rate, which is the sum of ocean
rate and the rate from, or to place in
the United States to or from the port
of trans-shipment, or of entry, the lat
ter rate is required to be filed and pub
lished.
eff carried under joint through rate
by virtue of common control, manage
ment or arrangement of the inland
ocean carriers, the joint rate is required
to Be filed and published.
THE giving or receiving of rebates
or concessions whereby property in in
terstate or foreign commerce is trans
ported at less than the established rate,
Is the essence of the offense pertinently
denounced by the Elkins act. The de-
vice by which the concession or trans
portation is brought about is not an es-
sential element of the crime, and it is
unnecessary to plead it in the indict-
ment.' The meaning of the clause by
any device whatever in the Elkins act
is, directly or indirectly, in any way
whatever.
"a contract between a railroad and
shipper to transport the latter's goods
in interstate or foreign commerce at
the then established rate for definite
time, is ineffective after higher rate

across the harbor from Locust Point,
the water suddenly dropped eight feet,
throwing two men overheard from a
marine railway. They were rescued
with difficulty.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-04-05
Wants Bigger Pension.

For the loss of both hands. blown off April :. 1863. while preparing to fire cannon salute in honor of the reelection of Governor Buckingham, George l.. Deming of Windsor avenue, at the time of the accident employed at the state arsenal. is asking the general assembly for an increase of his pension from S20 to $50 per month. The committee on claims will con slider the application Friday. Mir Deming is well known all over the state on account of his misfortune. He was ramming down a charge of powder when the explosion occurred. He was thrown some distance and one hand was taken completely off, while the other was hanging by a shred of flesh. In spite of the accident Mir Deming has been able to do a great deal and is well known as a horseman. He is now more than 70 years old and will soon be unable to do much and his friends believe the pension should be raised.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-04-05

The financial crisis in New York, the threatened gigantic railroad strike in the west and the growing custom of expecting succor directly or indirectly from the white house would appear to be sufficient to rivet attention on Washington, but the somewhat premature presidential contest with its center of disturb ance in Ohio make for the moment financial crisis and great labor agi- tations of secondary importance and the main question of the moment is the contest between Ohios great sons Taft and Foraker. Taft it is true, is "far away on the pillow" and For akeE is navigating the ehoppy seas of the brownsville investigation but the lieutenants of both these cham pions, Burton on the one side and Dick on the other with their various sub-lieutenants are in the political skirmish of their lives. Senator For aker had to fight. He had burned his bridges behind him and pitted aginst the most powerful and popular man that this age has known he appears to people at this end of the line al- ready beaten.

IA CONSTANT ANNOYANCE.

Half the nervousness. half the irri- tability that is so common in every day life, is really sickness. and in most cases a condition that accom- panies kidney trouble.
 It is the work of the kidneys to keep the blood free from uric acid and other poisons, but when the kid neys are sick, and not doing their duty, the uric acid poisons permeates the body, and attacks body. brain and nerves. The irritation causes ner- vousness, irritability, headache, dizzy spells; makes you languid, unfit for work, and inclined to worry over trines. Besides. there is nothing more annoying than a bad back, and backache is the most common sign of kidney trouble. You feel lame and tired in the morning. suffer day and night with a dull aching In the back. and it hurts to stoop or bend or lift.
 Keep your temper cool. and get the Kidneys well. No person can feel cheerful and healthy If the kidneys are the least bit affected. A few doses of Deans Kidney Pills, taken in the beginning, will set the kidneys right.
