PLANS TEST OF THE P. S. G. Law

The constitutionality of the Public Service Com
missions law attacked yesterday by ex-Judge
Dittenhoefer and Jesse S LAmoreaux at the re-
hearing on the application Of the Long Acre Elec-
trio Light and Power Company to issue $lOWO,0VO
Of stock and 100000 of bonds.
Commissioner Matbe recommended several
months ago that the application be denied, and
the commission accepted his recommendation The
application renewed simply preliminary 20
appeal to the United States Supreme Court on
the ground that the law is unconstitutional, be-
cause it embraces more than one subject in it's
title and discrimnates against lOcaltty-in this
case New York City-in saddling upon it the ex-
pense of a state body.

A report was circulated yesterday
that Mrs. Lucreta Elizabeth Eng

secret on account of the failure to
break off love match of her eldest
daughter, Myrtle.
Early this morning reporter for

porch, when she heard her mother

of the girls when their mother went

In short time Mrs. English was
restored to consciousness, and then
seemed to regret her attempted rash
act.
Miss Myrtle denies that it was on
account of her and her lover that
her mother attempted to do away
with herself, for her mother thinks
well of the young man with whom
she has kept company for some time
and who is employed at the planning
mill of the Grand Junction Lumber

yesterday President Roosevelt made
use of an automobile in preference to
team of his fine horses in going
from Sycamore Hill down to the
Christ Episcopal church i'm the viii

1t is reported that the president
has said that he did not care to use
an automobile so long as there were
good horses to drive. But it would
seem that he is beginning to take
a fancy to riding in one of the other
of the two big touring cars stationed
here for the use of the secret service
men, for on a number of occasions
recently he has made use of them.
Yesterday was the second Sunday
he went to church in one of the big

Mrs. Roosevelt accompanied the
president, as usual, they being ac-
comparied by several invited guests
to Sycamore Hill, and Archie and
Quentin, the presidents younger

tinue to arrive today for the nation
al convention of the independence
party, which will be called to order
at s O'Clock this evening in Orches-
ira hall.
William Randolph Hearst, who is
to act as temporary chairman of the
convention and whose speech will
sound the keynote of the party's pol
icy throughout the coming campaign,
has thus far been the dominant fac
tor in the party's councils. He has
repeatedly declared that he is not
a candidate.
Thomas S. Hisgon of Massachu-
sets and Milton w. Howard of Fort
Payne, Ala, seem to be the leading
candidates for the presidential nom
ination. Hisgon is strongly support
ed by the eastern delegations, while
the south and west portions incline
towards Howard. The fight is an
open one.
The platform will contain radi-
cal anti-injunction plank.
Charles r. Walsh of Iowa, for a
number of years secretary of the
democratic national committee. will
be the permanent chairman of the
convention, which will probably con-
clude it's deliberations tomorrow ev-
ening.
The Nevada delegation arriving
today brought the first vice presi-

]. c. Hagerman of that state.
Among the delegates arriving to-
day the sentiment is strong against
