According to the report that comes

to-day, the railroads have receded from
their attacking the constitutionality of
the Syphus bill. This came about when
the attorneys for the roads and the
State met for the purpose of arranging
tor postponement Of the argument on
ne application Of the roads for per-
manent injunction against the Com
mission. restraining it from enforcing
the provisions of the law.
The attorneys for the railroads are
said to have surrendered every conten-
tion except that in relation TO the maxi
mum rate clause. This, of course, is
the vital Issue. The law was passed as
protection TO the citizens of this State
against the piracy of the railroads in the
matter Of rates, and unless this provision
is valid and can be enforced, members
Of the Commission might just as wei
resign and save the State the expense Of
maintaining a useless, worthless board.
1t would be presumptuous on the part
Of q newspaper. unsupported by expert
legal opinion. to pass upon the constitu-
tionality of legislative enactment; but
in applying ordinary common sense to
this particular case, it looks to the lay
man that if the law is valid in every
other detail. this one clause should also
stand the test. 1t, however. requires
no special knowledge of the law; ouly

JACKMAN GETS NEW TRIAL
Brutal Murderer of Boy to Have
Another Chance

Carson, Nevada, August 6.-The Ne
vada Supreme Court has granted a new
trial to Albert T. Jackman, alias John
Thompson, under sentence of death in
the Nevada Penitentiary for the muir
der of John Moritz, messenger boy of
Goldfield, on September 16. 1906. Jack
man was in his death cell in the peni-
tentiary when the decision of the Su-
preme Court was announced to him.
The Supreme Court granted the new
trial on the ground that the District
Judge had made an error in instructipg
the jury at the last trial.
The murder of Moritz. who was only
a boy. was one of the most brutal ever
committed in the southern country.
Moritz had accidentally run into Jack
man with his bicycle and Jackman drew
a gun, shooting him through the body.
After the body fell to the ground Jack
man approached him, and as he lay
bleeding on the ground pleading that
his life be spared Jackman is said to
have raised his pistol and deliberately
shot him through the head.

those who have watched the manner IN

Standard Oil Fined $29, ,240,O00

Chicago, August "A fine of 800.
10000 was imposed upon the Standard
OIL Company Of Indiana this morning
by Federal Judge Landis. In conclud'
ing his decision Judge lands said:
''The law prohibiting preferential
railroad rates was passed 20 years ago.
Its adoption was preceded by opposi-
ton by the beneficiaries Of the various
practices. Immediately thereafter these
persons set about devising means for
its evasion. The decree of the courts
and the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion show the employment of large
variety OF schemes to accomplish this
result. Finally. in 1908. the Ekins law
was passed. Hope was entertained that
the law would put an end to preferen.

the present law prescribing imprison.

court that the defendant. the Standard
