Vrooman,s Forecast.


 Vrooman's Forecast.
 Washington.-Charles E. Vrooman. chief clerk in the office of the solicitor for the treasury department, has prepared a fore case of electoral results for President. MT. Vrooman, it is said at the treasury de- pertinent, has proven a fairly good prog nostcator in former presidential elections.
 Of the total electoral vote of 4S3 he gives Taft 296, or 54 more than neces- sary to elect, and Bryan 161. He placesl Indiana in the doubtful column, with Maryland and Montana but adds: But have as much faith in Taft carryingl Missouri as I have in Bryan carrying Indiana" He places these three states in the republican column with check mark Indicating doubtful" and in ex-l planation says: My opinion is the chances are about even in the states with the chances for Taft carrying Indiana the best. Tafts prospects ill Maryland are good. My de- duction on Indiana from the information received is that Indiana will be close on governor, with the chances in favor of Marshall, democrat I look upon the chances of Johnson carrying Minnesota for governor as good-I rather think he will. At this date New York on gov- ernor is democratic with Hughes chances improving daily.
 ''If I had to assure Maryland, Indiana and Montana to any one, would give them to Taft, but the election will be close in several states
 Taft will receive enough electoral votes l. to elect him, but there will be no land. slide to any one."
 Mir. Vrooman also places Colorado, Me- braska, North Dakota and Idaho in the 1 republican column, but with the quali- 1 flying doubtful sign. Here is the way he lines up the state votes:
 For Taft: California 10 Colorado 5, Con- necticut T. Delaware 8, Illinois 27, Iowa 13. Kansas 10. Maine 6, Massachusetts Is. Michigan IA, Minnesota Ii, Nebraska 8. New Jersey 12, New Hampshire 4. New York 39, North Dakota 4, Ohio 23, Oregon 4, Pennsylvania 34, Rhode Island 4, South Dakota 4, Utah 8, Vermont 4, Washington 5, West Virginia 2, Wisconsin 1S, Wyom- ing 8, Idaho 3-total 2s6.
 For Bryan-Alabams H. Arkansas 9, Florida B. Georgia 13, Kentucky 13, Louis jana g. Mississippi 10, Missuori 1S Nevada 8, North Carolina 12, South Carolina 9, Tennessee 12, Texas IS, Virginia 12, Okla- homa 7-total 161.

The tournament reached the fifth Found

usually large number Of entries thus far
by many defaults. thirty eight being re-
corded in the first and second rounds.
1t was hoped to reach the semi

which the case was tried; that the evil
dence of Bogardus. which it Is claimed
showed want Of knowledge. was admitted:
that ii was overcome. however. by the
facts and circumstances of the case and
thot the evidence as an entirety was suf-
ficient 20 show actual knowledge, or what
In law was it's equivalent:
THAT the Interpretation OF the statute
by this court, imposing no duty on the
shipper and permitting a defense of ig-
norance to be made wi hout regard to the
negligence of the shipper, IS contrary To
the language of the statute and to its
purpose and seriously impairs the eff
cheney of the act:
as to the basis for determining the num-
Der of offenses involves an erroneous coll
Struction of the statute and fails to take
into consideration that the thing which
is prohibited by the act is the transpor-
tation OF property at the unlawful rate:
THAT the criticism of the trial judge
for abuse of discretion rests upon a
wrong assumption of what the trial judge
actually did and assumes that he at
tempted to try and punish the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey. Wen in
fact as appears from the record, the en-
tire proceedings were directed against
the defendant. the Standard OH Company
of Indiana;
THAT the ruling stated in the opinion
to the effect that a fine IL excessive when
it exceeds in amount the ability OF the
defendant to pay is an innovation In
criminal law and If generally applied
would prevent the practical enforcement
of most criminal statutes:
THAT, in short. the opinion as II
stands enormously states material por-
tions of the record; does injustice to thu
trial Judge; leaves doubtful in a new trial
the rule of law to be applied. both as to
knowledge on the part of the shipper
and a 8 to the number of cffenses: appears
to be in conflict with the language of the
Supreme Court and with the previous
language of the presiding judge OF this
court and with the great weight Of legal
authority: and. If permitted to remain
unmodfied. will tend TO encourage dis
obedience to law, TO impede the enforce
ment of salutary statutes and largely to
defeat their purpose.
For the reasons stated We respectfully
request that a reargument of this case
be granted
