FORCING FORTS HIND.
Franklin Murphy Mentioned as
Vice-P Presidential Timber.

Trenton April 24-The contest among the Re
publican leaders of New Jersey for places on the
Big Four to the national convention has been
productive of a great deal OF friction, one result
of the dscord being the bringing forth OF the name
of Ex-Governor Franklin Murphy. chairman of the
State Republican Committee, as a possible cano1-
date for the Republican nomination for Vice-Pres-
dent
Both Governor Fort and Mr.. Murphy live in
Essex County and the two want to be delegates
at-large. Leaders in other sections of the state
objected TO this and declared that one or the
other shoId withdraw. It was with the object OF
settling this controversy that meeting OF the
state committee held yesterday. but nothing
resulted.
The talk among the leaders to-day was that X
Governor Fort would become candidate for Vice
President he would receive the united support OF
the state. provided he Withdrew from the contest
for delegate large IT, however he insisted on
being delesate-at-arSe, the leaders declared
they would support Murphy for Vlce-President
Some persons believe Mr.. Murphys candidacy Is
merely "a plan force Governor Fort to either
formally announce his candidacy for the Vice
Presidential nomination TO hasten his final re-
nunciation Of his desire to go to Chicago as dele
gate-atlarge.

CONVENTION CHAIRNEN.
Nay Be Lodgc and DolHrer-
Bereudgc Endorsed by President.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, April 2i.-The tentative slate for
officers OF the Republican National Convention pro
vides that Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts shall
he permanent chairman ana that Senator Dolliver
of Iowa. shall be temporary chairman OF course
this is not definitely settled but is declared bv
those in position to know probable The
report circulated by Senator Reverdge Of Indiana
that he had the Endorsement of the President for
temporary chairman proves 10 have been correct
and the facts in connection Herewith are decidedly
interesting.
Some time ago NJ. Beveridge called on the
President and told him that he had made ar
rangemCnts to be temporary chairman of the con-
Nention Of 1904; that he had voluntarily stepped
aside at the Presidents request in favor of Sec
retary Root, and that the President had at that
time promised to exert his influence to obtain the
place for Mr.. Reveridge this year. The President
protested that he had not the slightest recollection
Of any such incident. although he could not deny
absolutely that such was the case. lie said more
that he a candidate Tor the nomfna-
ton this year. and had therefore. no right TO try
to influence the selection Of the officers Of the con-
vention. Finally. after several calls from Mr..
Beveridge the President consented and did write
letter to Secretary Taft. saying he would be glad
# Mr Taft deemed it wise. If the honor demanded
by Mr. Beveridge could be given to him.
What Secretary Taft said or thought with re
gard TO this letter is not known but it is known
That some Of the Secretarys friends made an en-
phatc protest against the selection. They main
tanned that Mr. BeverdGe was not q sincere sun
porter Of Mr.. Taft for the reason that he favored
the nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt: that his state had
not Endorsed Mr. Taft. and that they purposed to
take no chances by comforting so important an
once on an advocate Of the second elective term.
It had been proposed to select Senator Lodge for
temporary chairman. but it was then decided thai
IN view Of the experience Of the Senator from Mas
sachusetts as permanent chairman of the Repub-
mean National Convention at Philadelphia in 1900
Of his wide knowledge Of parliamentary law and
OF his eloquencc. he should be slated for perma-
AeAt chairman. Discussion then turned to the ques-
uoh OF temporary chairman. and Mr.. Dolivcr was
tentatively selected. The Senator from Iowa has =
peculafiy powerful voice, convincing eloqucnce
and all the qualifications essential in a tcmpora,,-
chairman.

TRANSFER CASE DECIDED.
Rail7cay Nay Limit Carriage Of
PASSENGER for One Fare.

Albany, April 24-The Court of Appeals. in
decision handed down this afternoon, decides that
a street railway company has the right, under
Section of the railroad law relating to trans
fers TO regulate by any reasonable limitation the
carriage of a passenger its line for a single
fare The case at issue, that of Peter G Kelly
against the New York City Railway Company,
arose out of the refusal, in accordance with the
rules Of the company. by conductor on the Eighth
avenue line To accept "a souhbound transfer upon
northbond car"
The Court of Appeals affirms an order OF the
Appellate Division, First Department deciding for
the defendant railroad. The decision. which AFFECTS
every street railroad of any considerable length in
tho state is by a divided court. voting five to two
the majority being Judges Gray (who writes the
opinionl Haight Nann. Werner and w. Bartlett
The dissenting judges Chief Judge Cullen and
Judge Chase. Judge Gray in his opinion says:
A railroad corporation. however artifcaIly
person in contemplation Of law and however sub
iect its charter to the reserved power Of the
conditions as favorable a sound state policy,
due regard for the public interest and a Just
permit. 1t should not be burdened by unnecessary
mn'e9}R0n ha tR@ge e6nsderaons demand When the
Legislature in unmistakable terms and within In
regulate corporate operations. it should be given
full effect by the courts; but no differences un-
sfo1d y? . be owed from words susceptible
of use in more than one sense
Commenting the facts, Judge Gray points
out that under the construction of the law
tended for by the plaintiff "a passenger would be
able TO accomplish a round trip the defendants
line for one fare" He ADDS:
The transfer privilege permits of hours
stoppage at transfer points and it can readily be
seen how farreaChing is the plaintiffs contention.
I do not think that the provisions of the statute
when fairly considered susceptible of the con-
StruCtion which is sought to be placed upon them.
What intended by the Legislature when
thQTiZing leasing consolidation of competing
lines Of railroads appears TO have been the at
taching of a condition by which the public would
gain some advantage from il and its convenience
be prompted thereby. That condition that
any two points the railroad portions there
of embraced in such contract any passenger de-
string TO make one continuous trip between such
points for one single fare.
The statute should be read in the light Of the
habitual method Of the railroad transportation of
passengers. which is to require fare for trip
upon its line and another fare for return trip
That is the reasonable cons truCtiOn which think
should he given to this statute
| think that the Legislature did intend so
unreasonable scheme the appellant contends
chmpef the defendant to Garry paSsengers with
out limitation as to direction would be to mpute
harshness and injustice where none neCes-
sary and which the language Of the enactment
does not import.
