court of the United States has dis
missed the writ OF error in the case
OF former United States Senator
Thomas M. Patterson Of Colorado. In

tho practical effect of Affirming the
decision Of the Colorado courts. The
opinion in the case was delivered by
Justice Holmes, who said In effect that
the court was without jurisdiction.
Justice Harlan delivered a dissenting
opinion. Justice Brewer also dissent
ed from the decision. holding that the
court was not without Jurisdiction.
The proceedings against Senator
Patterson grew out OF the Colorado
supreme courts decisions In election
cases following the acrimonious state
campaign Of 1904. The senator Is the
principal owner OF the Denver Times
and the Rocky Mountain News. both
Denver daily papers. and the contempt
proceedings was on account OF strfc-
lures on those decisions published IN
the two papers, In which the charge
was inferred to have been made that
tho court was subservient to the cor
poration interests Of the state.

HEAVY SHOCK OCCURS
Seismographs Register an Earth
quake Of Great Severity.
DURATION OVER TWO HOURS

New York State GeologIst at Albany
Estimates That the Disturbance
Took Place at a Distance Of Prob
ably Three Thousand Miles.
Washington, April 16.-According
to special bulletin issued by the
weather bureau a distant earthquake
of great intensity was recorded by
the weather bureau seismograph COM
mencing at liza a. m. The greatest
movement Of the earth at Washington
occurred in an east and west direc-
tion and lasted from 1926 to 1:41,
while the principal portion OF the
north-south movement lasted only un-
til 1888 a. m. The total duration OF
the earthquake was over two hours.
These records seem to indicate an
unusually violent earthquake at a dis
tance, comparable In intensity with
those which recently occurred at Val
paraiso and Kingston.
Albany, N. Y. April 18.-The strong.
est and longest earthquake shock
recorded on the seismograph at the
state museum here since the instru-
ment was installed began at LA a. m.
and continued more than two hours.
The record is much more pronounced
than that made by the San Francisco
earthquake OF last year. The max.
imum vibration was SO severe as to
swing the pendulum clear off of the
recording cylinder Assistant State
Geologist David H. Newland said:
1.-THE disturbance must have been
very severe indeed. 1t appears to
have been some 5000 miles away. to

Oil Trust to Appeal From Jury's
Verdict in Rebate Case.
SEVERAL MOVES DECIDED on

No Legal TechnicaIity Is to Be Over
looked by Its Attorneys and the
Case VIII Be Kept In the Courts as
Long as Possible.
Chicago, April 18.-Despite over
whelming proof of its violation OF the
Elkins law, as shown by the verdict
of guilty returned against 1t In the
United States district court Saturday
night, the Standard OIL company has
by no means given up. No legal tech
nicality is to be overlooked by its at
torneys and the case will be kept IN
the courts as long as possible.
Within q few days Judge Lands
will be asked to fix the time when he
can hear arguments on motion for a
new trial. notice OF which was served
on the court Immediately after the
jury had returned its verdict. II this
motion Is overruled the defense will
present q motion In arrest Of judg'
ment.
On this question District Attorney
Sims and his special assistant. James
H. Wilkerson, will be called upon to
reply. The argument OF the defense
will be that. in accepting the 6-cent
rate, the Standard Oil company com
mitted only one violation Of the Ell
kins act and that the contention OF
the government that each car of oil
shipped constituted an additional Of
fense is not good.
To this the government will reply
that, as only one offense can be pun
ished by q fine of no more than $40, ,OOC
and that the amount derived by the
Standard OIL company In the counts
charged In the indictment was 1929,
900. the fine Is by no means commen
surate with the crime.
Should Judge Lands sustain this
motion In arrest OF judgment the de
fendant company undoubtedly would
pay the fine and prepare for similar
line of battle in the seven remaining
indictments. II the motion Is denied
the case will be appealed either to the
court OF appeals or to the United
States supreme court.

CREATES SEVEN CARDINALS
Pope Refers to French Struggle In
Brief Allocution.

Rome, April 16.-Pope Plus X. held
q secret consistory In the Vatican and
created seven new cardinals, as fol-
lows: Mgr. Cavallari, patriarch OF
Venice; Mgr Rinaldini, papal nuncio
to Spain; Mgr. Lorenzelli, ex-papal
nuncio at Paris; Mgr. Lualdi, arch.
bishop of Palermo; Mgr. Mercier, arch
bishop Of Malines; Mgr. Mafii, arch
bishop Of Pisa. Mgr. Aguirrey Gar
cia, bishop of Burgos, Spain.
The ceremony took place in the hall
which takes its name from the con
sistory and was performed with the
usual gorgeousness and impressive
pomp. After the cardinals had paid
their homage every one left the hall
except the pope and the sacred col
lege. Then the pope, from the throne,
addressed simple prayer and deliv-
cred short allocution.
The pontiff dealt especially with
the struggle in France, which, he said
was particularly painful to him, as he
loved that most noble nation, whose
sorrows and joys | consider as my
own instead of being those of hel
French rulers, who, after arbitrarily
denouncing the concordat, violently
despoiling the church and failing to
recognize the ancient and true glory
of the country, tried to uproot the re-
mains Of religion by committing all
kinds of excesses, even those most
repugnant to French politeness, violat
ing every public and private law and
custom In SO doing they calumniated
the episcopacy and clergy, tried to sep
arate them from the Holy See and pur'
posely utilized the national institu
tions to further their antireligious
war, so as to be able to accuse the
Holy See of being in opposition tc
French popular institutions, which In
reality were always recognized and
respected"

Lodz, Russian Poland, April 16.--
During the last four weeks over 100
workmen have been killed or wound
ed here as the result OF labor feuds.
The government has failed to protect
those who are willing to work and the
latter have taken matters into their
own hands and are violently expelling
the terroristic, anarchistic and so
cialistic agitators, whom they hold re-
sponsible for the ruin OF the indus
tries of Lodz. AS the Jews form over
80 per cent of the socialists there is
some apprehension that the incensed
workmen may engage in an anti
Semitic outbreak.

IF JEFFERSON CAME,
Washington POst.)


Somebody has wondered what
Thomas Jefferson would do if he
came to America in 1907, and the best
answer is that he would have to
make a political party before he
could get into the political swim. Yet
everybody, except Mr.. Roosevelt,
traces his politics back to Jefferson.
Mr. Bryan will prove to you that
Lincoln got his politics from Jeffer-
son, though Lincoln recruited some
millions of soldiers and shot to death
on the field of battle the Resolutions
of '9S," as perfect a Jefferson idea as
the Sage of Monticello ever deliver
ed himself of.
Mr.. Jefferson was the father of the
Democratic party that lived. 100 years
and went out of the political bust
ness in 1896, just a century after
Jefferson's first race for President.
The Democratic party was created to
combat paternalism in government,
and the party of Jefferson was true
to that doctrine all the days of its
life.
This new Democracy, that is moth
ing if not paternal, like the devil
quoting scriptures, claims to hold its
estate under title coming down from
Jefferson. If there was anything for
whichJefferson distinctively stood, ii
was jealousy of Federal power; but
this new Democracy, so far from
that, seeks to augment Federal
power to an extent that Alexander
Hamilton never dreamed of. 1t would
have the government go into the
railroad business, increase the ma
tional debt by $14,OOO,OOO,OOO, and
create some millions additional pub
lie servants to operate 100000 miles
railroad 1t is sacrilege to think
that Jefferson would join such &
party.
Jefferson held that the best gov
eminent was that of the people
acting through their representatives
but this new Democracy teaches
government by the people direct
They call it the initiative and re-
ferendum, and in effect it would
work the abolition of the United
States Senate, destroy the equality
of the States, and lodge a monopoly
of power in the bigger States
We are satisfied that Mr.. Jeffer-
son would have to fetch his politics
with him, if he came again to Amer
lea, or keep out of politics alto
gether.

RUTH.

She stood breast high amid the corn,
Clasped by the golden light of morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun,
Who many a glowing kiss had won.
On her cheek an autumn flush
Deeply ripened; such a blush
In the midst of brown was born,
Like red poppies grown with corn
Round her eyes her tresses fell;
Which were blacklist none could tell,
But long lashes yelled a light
That had else been all too bright.
And her hat, with shady brim
Made her tressy forehead dim;
Thus she stood amid the stocks,
Praising God with sweetest looks.
Sure, | said, Heaven did not mean
Where | reap thou shouldst but CLEAN;
Lay the sheaf adown, and come,
Share my harvest and my home.
