the most solemn duties and respcnsi-
bilties.
IF they were not officers elected by
the people they were nothing, he
went on "They had neither standing
nor constituents II they were not off,
GERS"
Mr.. Wise cited Mr.. Jamison, who was
invoked hundreds Of times In the con-
vention debates to show that the NOM
bers were officers, and said that this
he regarded as the strongest authority
on the subject.
Sinister Motives.
He criticised severely tho ordinance
carrying out the suffrage provisions
Of the Constitution, and said the ain-
lister motives behind it could not be
shielded.
1t was passed to keep in tho chosen
people and to keep out those not
wanted" he said.
He declared that this action was a
revolutionary usurpation OF Legislative
authority and was therefore Illegal.
Behold what this remarkable Con-
stitutional Convention attempted!", he
exclaimed, and then he went into tho
matter of the appointment Of regis
trars.
In this matter 1t was going wholly
out or the business of Constitution
making and usurping powers which
plainly belonged to the Legislature."
In quoting from the convention de-
bates on the subject, he said: Then,
again, another solon proceeded to harp
on the proposition in this manner"
AS to Submission.
Mr.. Wise asserted that Virginia had
been permitted to re-enter Congress
upon the distinct conditions that she
should never change her suffrage laws
so as to prevent persons entitled to
vote, from voting except, for specific
reasons, among them the commission
OF crime.
Coming to the question Of submis-
sion, Mr.. Wise was severe in the Ian
guage employed to dcnounco the proc
lamation Of the instrument by the
convention, and on this point, he cited
q we'll known case arising in Ken
lucky, which he said, fully sustained
him.
In this case,"8he declared, this man
stood at his door and asked for his
rights, and he is entitled to have a
Federal court pass upon those rights
which were denied him.
II say that neither convention, nor
a Governor nor spurious registrar
nor any one else had any legal au-
thorty to prevent this man from
voting at Huntersville Precinct, in
Norfolk county, on November 4. 1902"
Mr.. Wise concluded his argument at
$40 p. M, and Judge Golf said he
would adjourn at this point and go
on Tomorrow morning.

Can He Trap Expert?

When District Attorney Jerome takes
up the cross-examination OF DR.. Brltton
d. Evans he will need all OF MS re-
markable knowledge of insanity to shake
the story.
That he will attempt to do so IS owl
dent from the notes he took durihg
the examination, and the fact that he
had the prosecutions, three alienists,
Doctors Macdonald, Flint and Mab1n
beside him all day, and frequently Col
suited them.
Tho defense assumes that l.; has
now laid the foundation for the intro
duction OF testimony which has hernto-
fore boen excluded from the case.
Among the things which, have: been so
excluded is Thaw's will and the

order to give him the opportunity to learn

Director Reynolds.

Pittsburg. May S.-The wabash and
Wheeling & Lake Erie railroads are to

ENGINEER ACCOMMODATES:
$500 DAMAGE THE RESULT.
Two Engines Meet and One Backs Up
to Admit of the Others Passing.
ZOrus Harper Negects, However, to
Lower Crane Which Crashes into
Steam Pipes.

Yesterday morning at II o'clock sew
eral laborers employed at the Standard
Oil company at Whiting narrowly es-
capped being scalded by escaping steam
Zorus Harper an engineer on one of
the hosting engines at the Standards
tracks was going west with the engine
and James Hayes an engineer on one of
the freights was going east, Hayes
stopped his engine and asked Harper
to back up and go on the siding that
he might pass, Harper backed up but
neglected to lower the huge crane with
the result that it crashed into the
steam pipes above smashing them and
letting tons of steam escape, men who
We're working around near the pipes
scampered in every direction getting
out of the way of the hot steam and
by sheer luck none of them were in
jured.
When the crane crashed into the
steam pipes it broke zone II inch pipe,
four inch pipes and several smaller
ones, doing damage to the extent of
over $780,
Harper at once left his engine and
went to the pay masters Office and
drew his money before they had been
notified OF the accident
Up to today noon the Standard Oil
company had not been able to get the
pipes fixed and are working at great

CURFEW WORKS WONDERS

Streets Are Deserted by Boys and
Girls After Screaming Whistle An

slider.

The curfew law which was put into
effect in Whiting was observed last
night by all of the children under 16
years of age, and the police were not
compelled to arrest any violators of
the new ruling.
Early in the evening crowds of child
rem were seen on the streets but when
they were approached by policeman
and informed of the new ruling they
sought their homes and after o'clock
not a single boy or girl under sixteen
was in sight. The police do not anti
cipate any trouble as the outcome of
the new order.
The parents of Whiting are very
much pleased over the new order re-
alizing the good it is doing the com
munity and the chances are that other
towns in the Calumet region will fol-
low the action of the Standard Oil
city,
few years ago Lowell had a cur
few law, but after about six months
it was dropped and children were al
lowed to be on the streets as late as
they wanted to.
The dead line for boys and girls is
announced by a screaming whistle at
Whiting. A whistle was also employ
ed at Lowell to warn the children that
it was time for them to be in bed.

ASSASSINATION IS FEARED
Situation Ideal for CFanks-Violence
Threatened in Letters.

Threatened in Letters.
In few minds is there belief that
Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone, their
friends or the men affiliated with them
in labor union circles, would approve
much less encourage, any act of VIC
lence at this time, because such act, it
is believed, would be a fatal error
But there is a general fear that from
the ranks of the violent radicals there
may come a man or men desperate
enough to attempt assassination, or
that the agitation may give sinister
suggestion and inspiration to some
crank or irresponsible person.
Letters that threaten every form of
violence are pouring into Boise from
all over the country by hundreds, and
most of them are directed To Governor
Frank r. Gooding, who Is made large
~ to bear the brunt Of all that this
celebrated case invites. Detectives, POI
lice and friends Of the governor gener-
ally. are constantly on the alert to
block the blow, and at the insistence
Of family and friends he has finally
and under protest altered the routine
movements of his life and work, at
least to point Offering the least ex-
posture compatible with the perform
ance of his duty.
Another man similarly marked, in
the belief Of many men, is Harry Or
chard, alleged to be the assassin hired
by the three prisoners, whose alleged
confession is the basis Of the states
case. Perfectly reasonable men here
look at the high witness chair In the
count court house, shake their heads
seriously. and tell you that Harry Or
chard viii die in it.

Arthur Rudman, secretary of the Y.
NJ. G. A. for the Philippine Islands
writes: II knew that good books in
an army post were invariably appre-
ciated by the men, but 1 did not rea-
lie their value until we received from
New York the last two shipments Of
travelling libraries, so many books were
missing as to leave some of the cases
nearly empty. I counted the library
cards, representing books loaned, and
found that 2S4 out of a total of about
500 were out. When we consider that
these books are taken to the quarters
and that probably each book is read
by several men, we begin to see the
value of good libraries. The same is
true of Cavite and Olongapo."
