Machines

BEDFORD SPRINGS, Pa, July 2o.-The
ninth days run Of the Glidden tourists from

The road from the summit Of the Blue
Ridge mountains to Bedford Springs Is
strewn with automobiles of both the Gid
den and Hover trophy contestants. A
number of the cars are broken down alto
gether, and others are being towed in by
teams. The mountain roads were too much
for them after the strenuous run Of yes
terday to Pittsburg.
An accident marked the tour as it neared
this place. The of P. P. Jones of Pitts
rut, and son Of Mr.. Jones was thrown out
alghting on his head. A quick run was
made several miles back. where medical at
tcntion was given the young man. He is

and thirty-two minutes.
As the result he was penalized 80 points.

LA TOILETTE OR TAFT
OUTLOOK FOR THEPRESIDENTIA
FIGHT IN WISCONSIN.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 20. - Wis
consin's fight in the coming presidential
campaign will be Taft versus La Toilette.
This is not because the anti-La Toilette
men in the state love Taft more, but
because they love La Toilette less.
Here Is the situation--the enemies La
Toilette has made have never become
reconciled to his rule of the politics of
the state. Many of his old-time support
ers have been alienated, but he still has
his machine in running order. The enc
mics of the senator in Wisconsin would
rather see any person on the globe Sc
lected than La Toilette for the pres1-
dency, and inasmuch as La Toilette has
declared his intention of taking a shy at
the job, the opponents of the senator in
Wisconsin have looked around to lind the
man who has the best chance of beating
him. The result will be that the cam
paign in Wisconsin will be La Toilette
against Roosevelt.
If the anti-La Toilette men car carry
the day on a scheme to demand the Pres
ident's reelection, as against La toilette.
they expect Roosevelt to decline to &C
cept the place and to throw his support
ers to the wagon of the Ohio man. The
campaign will be understood 10 be for
Roosevelt or his candidate as against La
Toilette Though La Toilette poses before
the state voters as being the strongest
supporter Roosevelt has In the Senate.
the opposition hopes to convince the vot-
ers that Roosevelt does not trust the Wis
consin man. On the other hand. La Fol-
lette will declaim against the railroads.
n a
railroad commission law as one example
of the weakness Of his followers. La
Toilette will declare that his enemies
have wrecked the reform he accomp-
lished in the way of railroad regulation
by too much radicalism, and will claim
that the railroad commission he granted
the state was sane. still effective In rem
passing of the 2-cent law by She legis-
lature will be used argument
against the Roosevelt-Taft followers.

that the court could not hold that the STATE
legislature could fix rates. but could not
provide punishment for failure to observe
such rates Mr.. Thorn argued to the eff
feet that the penal section OF the rate law
was unconstitutional both on its face and
was so proven by evidence because It al
lowed such extraordinary fines that through
fear Of them the railroad would be de-
prived Of the nalienabe right to resist tho
law in the courts. and that as the court had
taken Jurisdiction of the rate law In the

Finley Makes Statement.
President Finley OF the Southern rail-
way today gave out q formal statement
bearing upon the railroad cases now be-
fore Judge Pritchard. Mr. Finley. after
explaining the character OF the cases. de-
clared such have from time to time been
filed in a large number OF states and have
heretofore progressed In an orderly way
to final determination. He recites how
the public is protected by the railroads
giving coupons to purchasers of tickets
covering the difference between the old
and new passenger rate fixed by the legis-
lature. and the statement Is made that the
WnOle case can De disposed OF In q few
months
He further says: 1T would seem TO be
perfectly plain that IL an Individual or
corporation believed itself to be in danger
of deprivation of its property by legisla-
ton, it should be allowed the privileges OF
having the validity of the legislation de-
termined In an orderly method. II ours Is
to be government of law and not of man
then surely no ltigant should be deprived
OF a fair opportunity Of going into the
courts to protect his rights. The Southern
Railway Company is bound to protect its
property, not only in the interest of its
owners and creditors, but also in the in
terest of the whole public. 1t has a right
and duty to appeal to the law for its pro-
lection. 1t Is not in the right or interest
of the people of North Carolina that the
ability of the transportation companies to
perform the public service and to enlarge
ana increase the means of serving pas
sengers and shippers shall be destroyed
and diminished.
1t is contradiction in terms to saw OF
any person or corporation that filing a
suit in court and asking for an orderly and
judicial determination of the very right
or any matter is itself a violation or de-
nance of law. If an appeal to court OF
justice Is violation of law then all our
courts should Come to an end"

KEMP STILL AT LARGE.
Police Unable to Trace Ascending
Chief Clerk

Seventeen days have passed since the
disappearance from this city of James
Arthur Kemp, the absconding chief clerk
and property clerk Of the police depart
ment. AS heretofore stated, Kemp had
appropriated more than 81. goo belonging to
widows and orphans of policemen and
several thousand dollars that had come
into his custody by reason OF the position
he held in the police department The
police had hoped to hear something from
him before this time. and their failure to
make the connection has caused some Of
them to believe that Kemp has gone to
foreign shores.
Police officials are more anxious to APP
prehend Kemp than TO catch ordinary
violators of the law, 1t is said. 1t is the
belief of the police officials that he will
eventually De caught, although he may
succeed in keeping under cover for months
