Washington. July 31.-No secret is
iistrition oofficials are annoyed that
Federal Judge Pritchard Of North
Carolina has precipitated the clash
between federal and state courts over
the Gases involving the Southern Rail-
ways failure to observe the North
Carolina state law compelling roads
to sell tickets for 2h cents a mile
within the state limits.
That It has injected into current
discussions needlessly the issue OF state
rights. is conceded by those high in
authority. Apart from the legal
phases of the matter on the question
solely OF policy, 1t is regarded as un-
fortunate that Judge Pritchard did
not await the examination of the re-
sources OF the state courts before ap-
pealing to federal authority, thus in
flaming the people OF the state and
placing the administration by infer
ence in the position OF countenancing
he"procedure.
1t is pointed out that there was ad-
equate remedy in the state courts for
the alleged confiscatory law reducing
passenger fees.
That the administration Is espec-
tally distressed at the lack OF wisdom
on Judge Pritchards part may be in
ferred when II is remembered that in
the first session OF the 59th congress
southern members argued for Senator
La Follette's amendments and sup
ported them by their votes, providing
for measures to partially strip federal
judges of their powers in relation to
the national rate law. II was limited
then in the debate that there was
slight ground for the intimation that
the federal courts were quicker to
sympathize with the corporations than
were the state judiciaries.
So that the North Carolina situation
distresses the administration exceed
ingly, and the rashness of the federal
Judge is deplored
Dcplorc Incident.
A well known legal authority here
has declared that he has knowledge
of only two instances of an attempt
to have an inferior federal court inter-
fere with writ of habeas corpus with
the rulings of a state court upon tho
cunstitutionality plea, and that in only
'one--ithat of Judge Pritchard-was
the the attempt successful. The
other was in Nebraska, and the fed
eral Judge refused to take jurisdic-
tion, pointing out that relief first
should be sought in the state courts
up to the court of last appeal within
the commonwealth.
Administration officials deplore the
incident the more In that its oppo-
nents have been alleging federal usur-
patton of power properly lodged in
the several states. 1t is therefore
with extreme regret that the admin
istration realizes that Judge Pritch-

Others Probably Implicated.

Colorado Springs. Col, July 31.-
Amos r. Rumbaugh of Washington,
ID. c., a close friend of Miss Laura
Matthews who committed suicide near
Broadmoor Monday might, added
mystery to the case by shooting him
self through the head last night in
the same manner adopted by Miss
Matthews. Rumbaugh killed himself
in his room at the Alta Vista hotel.
That the act of Rumbaugh was the
direct result OF the death of Miss
Matthews is not doubted. Rumbaugh
claimed to have but chance ac-
quaintance with the girl, but 1t devel-
ops that he knew her in Chicago and
also knew C. A. Coey, the wealthy
Chicagoan and DR.. H. A. Thomas of
the "101" ranch.
The body of Miss Laura Matthews,
of New York city, was found lying in
a lane near Ivy wild yesterday morn
ing with a bullet hole through her
head.
Peculiar circumstances surrounding
the finding of the body of Miss Mat
thews gave rise to the belief that mur-
der had been committed, but later de-
velopments indicate suicide.

ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.
THE METAL;
GIVE THE FIGURES.

Every once in awhile some Amer
lean" councilman or newspaper makes
the statement that the Norris admins
tration left unpaid bills for Thompson
to meet amounting TO SS4, 600. Monday
night Councilman FernstTCm, with his
,vonted naivete, offered a resolution
calling on the auditor to furnish a de-
tailed statement of the unpaid bills
turned over by Mayor Morris to his
successor.
If the oft-repeated assertions of the
Americans" had been true. this was
their opportunity to get the facts be-
fore the public in deadly form. Did
they pass the resolution and call on
the auditor for details? Not much.
They knew-as we'll as Fernstrom
knew-that they had been bluffing and
they didn't dare to show their hands
openly. An accurate, honest report,
such as the auditor might have made.
would have shown that Mayor Norris
turned over funds and to spare for all
unpaid liabilities. and that the present
condition of the treasury is worse by
thousands of dollars than it has ever
been before at this time of year. They
don't want TO have the figures pub
Hshed as is amply shown by the re-
fusai of the American" newspapers

for June 80.
But the administration ought either
to furnish the information asked for
by Fernstrom or else quit bluffing

prevented train wreck or done one of
the ordinary bravery stunts. She
stands immeasurably above such he
roes and heroines as we have de-
scribed. And she ought to be given
a medal at the very earliest possible
moment. List TO the story:
Miss Goldberg is a student at the
summer school of the University of
Chicago The other day in one of her
classes a fellow student took occasion
to sound the praises of John ID. Rookie
Teller. which seems at the University
of Chicago to be a normal, natural,
ordinary proceeding. Incidentally, the
claSsmate said he didn't blame Mr..
Rockefeller for evading the laws of the
land, adding that IF Mr. Rockefeller
is smooth enough to get around the
law he should be given credit for it
and the law should be blamed
Then rose Miss Goldberg in her place
and thus she spoke;
Il do not see why l should be thank
full TO Mr.. Rockefeller for founding this
university This is only another case
where a great financier wished to get
rid of his money. 1t is similar to the

Mr.. Rockefeller should have credit for
his discrimination, for the university has
been a great advertisement for him. l do
not think he is man to be held up as a
model. 1t might lead people to amass
great fortunes without regard to moral
standards.
While | am not sure about the story
that oil goes up every time Mr.. Rookie
teller gives the university a gift, l do
think that the way in which he got his
money precludes any feeling of gratitude
for his donations on the part of the stu
dents. ]. as a teacher, would not hold
Mr.. Rockefeller up before my pupils as
an example of a straightforward business
man.
A report of the class meeting says
the professor was 'inexpressibly
shocked" The students were also
shocked, but Miss Goldberg held her
ground. Now if that isn't as fine an
example of conspicuous bravery as you
ever heard of just trot your example
along. Do you not think Miss Gold
berg is entitled to a medal? Our own
private opinion is that one medal
doesn't begin to family cover the case.
She should be hung all over with med

GET THE ENcAMPMENT.

Announcement has been made of a
plan to bring the G. A. r. encamp-
ment of 1909 to Salt Lake City. 1t is
proposed to send large delegation of
veterans to the meeting at Saratoga
this year to stir up a boom for Salt
Lake two years hence There is no
hope of securing the encampment for

tically selected. And for such an i'm
portant prize a campaign of two years
is not too long.
That the proposition is entirely
worthy of support it is hardly neces-
sary for US to say. The annual en-
oampments of the Grand Army of the
Republic are events of such magnitude
that there is eager competition for
them among the nations most impor-
tant cities. Viewed from the sOrdid
standpoint alone the encampments are
well worth while. They bring to the
cities in which they are held thousands

Through such gatherings its fame is

almost inevitably leads to other big
conventions in the same city.
The g. A. r. is convention that is
particularly worth striving for. 1t is
made up of the remnant of the great
army that fought for the preservation
Of the nation. Salt Lake City would

it should take pride in honOring them.

BRIGADE FOR FORT DOUGLAS.

There is reason to believe that, if a
concerted effort is made by the people
Of Salt Lake City. Fort Douglas will
mental post. Officials of the war de-
partment look with favor upon the
plan, il is understood. Fort Douglas
certainly contains every necessary at
tribute of a brigade post. There is an
abundance of room for the barracks
and other buildings a brigade would
require, and there is also an ample
parade ground. The climatic condi-
tions, too are perfect.
As was pointed out in a story pub
Hshed in The Herald yesterday the
transformation of Fort Douglas from
regimental to a brigade post would
be of tremendous financial value to the
city. The brigade would consist of at
least three and possibly of four regi-
ments. The payroll of a regiment is
in the neighborhood of 10000 a month,
and practically every dollar of the
money would be expended among Salt
Lake merchants and business men.
They could safely count on a regular
income Of not less than $500, 900 from
this source.
And the payroll lacks a good deal of
being all the expenditure necessary to
the upkeep of a regiment Hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth Of sup
plies are needed yearly. Most of these
supplies would be purchased in Salt
Lake and its immediate vicinity. Then.
too, the new buildings that would be
required would involve a considera BILE
outlay. and here again Salt Lake
would get the principal benefits. So
the Importance of the proposition can
hardly be Overesumated. The secur-
ing of a brigade for Fort Douglas is
an object that is well worth the
strongest kind of an effort.
Something in this line was done a
year or two ago when the proposed
concentration of the army into bril-
gades was first announced The at
tempts put forth at that time came to

concerted, concentrated effort II must

General LawtOn's division was march

new position in the morning. General Joe
Wheeler, in company with Major Creigh-

Lawton's attention had been attracted
to a corporal of the Twenty-fifth infan-
