MAY BE UNCONVENTIONAL.

Corporation C0unsel Pendleton Renders
 Opinion On New Law.
 New York. July 13.-Corporation Counsel Frencie K. Pendleton in rem stitutionality of the new law. creating tho public utilities commission of this city, finds that some of the provisions of the law may be unconstitutional, but not sufficiently so as @ whole to justify the contention that the law is void.
 The opinion was given at the re- quest of Comptroller Motz who desired to ascertain whether he should pay over to the public utilities commission about $400,00O of a balance unexpended by the old rapid transit of this city.
 Corporation Counsel Pendleton in his opinion takes a view of the act similar to that of Mayor Mcclellan who in his veto of the bill said 1t contained num- erous provisions which are apparently inimical to the best interests of the city. The corporation counsel says:
 Tt is undoubtedly an evasion of the citys right to attend to It's own af- fairs. It places in the hands of par tisan commission the most tremendous power ever given into the hands of a similar body. The bill strikes at the very principle of self government and as Mayor Mcclellan further correctly says. If I were to decide otherwise and to accept this bill as 1t stands IL would imply an admission on my part that the principle of self government for the city was no longer worth striving for"
 MT. Pendleton informed Comptroller Metz that the unexpended balance Of the former commission must be turned over to the new commission.

Seattle. Wash. July 13.-Before a large gathering of Christian Endeavor- CTS in tent Williston today. Rev. Ira Landrith. regent of Belmont College, Nashville. Tenn. in an address on the subject, Graft and Grafters," linked the names of Roosevelt and Bryan to- gether as the greatest fighters the country has ever known against graft and corruption.
 He stated that graft, such as is prac- ticed in many portions of the country. is little less than murder. bringing in, as it does. impure milk and impure and adulterated food that cause alarm ing mortality.
 Rev. Edwin Heyle Delk. pastor of St Mathews Lutheran Church. Phila- delphia made an address on Training and Civic Conscience" in which he denounced in no unstinted terms the action of the Governor of Idaho in the alleged Kidnapping of Mover and Hay wood and asserted that the Judiciary of Idaho was corrupt.
 considerable futter was caused among the women in the big tent by an address by General Secretary Shaw. in which he denounced bridge whist and declared that a beneficial social revolution would take place if women of the United States would devote the same energy to promoting the patriots league as they do to whist.

 On cross examination MT. Morgan said he did not remember any invita- tion being sent to George Easterlick the prisoners father. for a public din ner winch Mir. Morgan gave in New York; MT. Morgan was sure that his firm had no customer of that name and he said 1t was improbable that any of his business friends would speak of investments returning tweive per cent which. according to Mrs. Les lie, was to be the interest on money invested in the alleged Morgan syndi- cate.
 After the plaintiff. Miss Annie Blount had testified briefly that she was induced to give Mrs. Leslie $4z'ooo' on the strength of letters purporting to have been written by MT. Morgan promising huge returns. the case was adjourned.

Sweet White, one of Montgomery s best known negroes of police fame. gave the department, at an early hour Saturday morning. one of the greatest surprises in its history. The surprise was for the members of the force to find out that the negro was again lodged behind the pars of the city prison, whereas he was supposed to be recuperating from pistol wound which a fellow of his race inflicted upon him about two weeks ago.
 Whites offense this time was for disorderly conduct, and in the Record CTS Court yesterday, he was fined by Acting Recorder J. c. Tyson. $5. in default of which he was committed to the prison for labor sentence of six teen days
