DOUBTS ITS JUSTICE.
0oxernorz Hughes Vetoes ,Two-cen'
Of ~ Passenger Rate Bill.


Albany, N. Y, June 11.-Governor
Hughes has vetoed the bill instituting
a fiat passenger rate of cents a mile
on every railroad system in the state
more than $50 miles long.
In the course of his veto message
the governor pointed out that "the
passage Of the bill was not preceded
by legislative investigation or suitable
inquiry under the authority of the
state Nor is the fixing Of this rate
predicated on reports or statistics off,
ciaily collected which would permit a
fair conclusion as to the justice of its
operation with reference to the rail-
roads within its purview."
The governor says also in part:
Injustice on the part of railroad
corporations toward the public does
not justify injustice on the part of the
state toward the railroad corporations.
The action Of the government should
be fair and impartial and upon this
every citizen, whatever his interest,
is entitled to insist. The fact that
those in control of railroad corpora
lions have been guilty of grossly i'm
proper financiering and of illegal and
Injurious determinations in charges
points clearly to the necessity Of ef-
fective state action, but does not re-
qufre or warrant arbitrary reprisals."

to Be Determined.


to Be Determined.
Concord, N. H., June 10.-Mary Ba
ker e. Eddy's competency to manage
her affairs must be determined by a
master, according to the decision of
Judge Robert N. Chamberlain in the
Merrimac superior court. This de-
cision was announced at the close of a
hearing at which General Frank 8.
Streeter, in the dual capacity Of coun-
sci for Mrs. Eddy and for Mrs. Eddy's
three trustees, argued on a motion
asking to have the suit brought by the
relatives of Mrs. Eddy as next
friends" dismissed on the ground that
the proceedings were not brought IN
good faith. Attorneys for the next
friends" replied briefly that the suit
which names Calvin A. Frye, Mrs.
Eddy's secretary, and nine other
Christian Scientists as defendants was
brought in good faith and that it would
be so proven when the case came be-
fore the court for a decision. Judge
Chamberlain, having listened to coun-
sci. announced that he would appoint
a master to inquire into the COM
potency of Mrs. Eddy The master, 1t
is expected, will be named before the
end of the week.

.EvEvEM NAVAL men PERISH
Launch Of BattIeship Minnesota
Sunk in Hampton Roads.

Norfolk, Va, June 12.-Eleven men
of the navy, comprising six midship'
men and five seamen who left Discov'
cry landing at the exposition grounds
shortly after midnight on a launch OF
the battleship Minnesota, are missing
and it is believed that the launch with
the eleven men on board has gone to
the bottom of Hampton Roads.
The men are Midshipmen Philip H.
Field, William H. Stephenson, Frank
P. Holcomb, H. L. Holden, Henry Clay
Murfin, Jr., Walter Carl Ulrich; Sea-
men p. II. Dodson, Jesse Conn, Frank
R. Plumber, Harvey L. Vandorne and
George w. Westphal.
Midshipmen Ulricn and Holden were
from Wisconsin and Sailor Vandorne
was from Cedar Rapids, a., and Sail
or Westphal from Neenah, Wis.
A box belonging to the fireman Of
the launch was found floating near
here and as the last seen of the
launch was when 1t pulled out from
the exposition pier, officers of the
fleet have given up hope of ever see
ing the men again. The six midshfp.
men, accompanied by Lieutenant D. NJ.
Randall, came ashore in the launch OF
the Minnesota, which has been lying
in Hampton Roads, to attend ball on
the exposition grounds. It was after
midnight when the party got away on

ORCHARD STILL ON STAND
Shows. Remarkable Fortitude Under
Cross-Exanination.

Boise, Ida, June 1.-THE attack of
the Haywood defense on the testimony
of Harry Orchard goes on unremitting-
ly and the witness will probably be
continued on the stand for two full
days more. Orchard withstands the
strain with remarkable fortitude and
at the end of six days shows no indi-
cation of mental or physical fatigue.
During the course of the days ex-
animation Orchard admitted that he
stole sheep during the winter of 1904
s, but stoutly denied that it was from
necessity, declaring that he continued
to secure sums Of money from the
federation officials.
Another diabolical plot was brought
to light during the days examination,
Orchard admitting that preparations
had been made to blow up boarding
house at Globevi1le, Colo, where $50
nonunfon men lived. The crime was
abandoned, Orchard said in one Of
those flashes that make his testimony
remarkable, because Haywood inter-
vened and forbade him to have any
thing to do with it.

creased in intensity until 1890, when
it's height was reached.
The cloudburst turned Big creek
into a torrent which quickly over
flowed it's banks and poured great
volume of water down upon Grady
vile.
Nearly every house in the place was
washed away and those who met
death were drowned or crushed to
death in their houses as they were
torn from their foundations. Every
stream in the vicinity is out of its
banks.
The cloudburst did great damage
aside from the loss of life, all bridges
in this vicinity being washed away
and thousands of acres of corn ruined.
Gradyville has a population of about
$50 and is eighteen miles from rail-
