ness of postofiice employees who dis.
covered in the mail an internal ma

that had the governor opened it In
the ordinary way, there 1t little doubt
1t would have killed him.
That the death-dealing package

the executives recent crusade against
violation of the law at Atlantic City.
The attitude taken by the governor
when he directed that the excise and

torman. and about twenty-five pas
sengers were more or less seriously in
jured In rear-end collision of two
elevated railroad trains on Myrtle
avenue, Brooklyn, on Friday. The two
trains were bound out from the

stopped some distance from a station,
because of a fire, and the second
train. which came along at high
sped, could not he stopped In time to
prevent a collision. II crashed into
the standing train with terrific force.
Passengers in both trains were
thrown from their seats and many
were badly burned. Instantly there
was a scene of panic among the fright

was not until after several fire COM
panies had reached the scene In re-
Spouse to an alarm that order was
re stored. BY the aid of ladders the
fremen carried many passengers to

COURT DECIDES AGAINST
DUBOIS TICKET IN IDAHO
Ex-senator Receives Setback In First
Round Of Legal Fight the Court

Boise. Ida.-By a unanimous decis-
ion the Idaho supreme court on Mon

attorneys in the contest pending be.
fore the supreme court to determine
which of the two tickets nominated at
the Wallace convention Is entitled to
the Democratic party name. AS a re-
suit of this ruling the court will go
into the merits of the case. Sixteen
questions were submitted to the at
torney by the court on which evil
dence is desired.
The ruling is distinct victory for
the antiDubois faction, the ticket OF
which is headed by Moses Alexander
for governor and Judge C, o. Stock
Slayer for United States senator.
In making the ruling the court held
the state primary law mandatory.
If the attorneys can agree as to
stipulation of facts, the case will be
speedily disposed of, otherwise it
will be necessary to appoint a referee
to take evidence.
The anti-Dubois attorneys declare
the courts decision on the demurrer
is equivalent to disposing of the case
against the Dubois faction, and state
that the Dubois contingent will not be
able to stand the test Of evidence,
owing TO the alleged high-handed
manner in which the anti.Dubois del
egates were thrown out of the Wal

or more before the final decision is
rendered. Meantime the partisans

hearing Of the appeal from Judge

pany $G9240, 600 for the violation Of
the antl-rebate laws, uphold the de
oision OF Judges Grosscup, Baker and
Seaman OF the United States circui!
court of appeals reversing the judg
ment and lifting the burden of the
enormous fine, as gogl law amply
justified by the records of the case
In the petition for rehearing the
reviewing judges are charged with
assuming that Judge Lands attempt
ed to try and punish the Standard
OIL company of New Jersey in the
original proceedings which were
against the Standard Oil company OF
Indiana. On this point the answer
declares 1t to be matter of no con
sequence whether the trial court re
ferred to the New Jersey company
tor the Indiana company as not "a
virgin offender
The real point is, says the answer,
"did the trial court, in imposing
punishment, take into consideration
the relations between the STANDARD
on company of Indiana and did II
base its fine upon the wealth of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
and its ability to pay, instead of upon
the wealth of the Standard Oil com.
rany of Indiana, and its ability to
paw"
To determine this question the
Standard Oil company's attorneys as.
sert that few sentences extracted
by the government counsel from the
words of Judge lands are not suf-
Hcient, and quote at length from
Judge lands opinion to show that
be referred to the New JERSEY cor
Ioration as the real defendant" and
TO the Indiana company as the nom
incl defendant"
The conclusion stated by the an
swer Is that the enormous fine in
flicted upon the defendant was be-
cause of the ownership OF It's stock
by the Standard Oil company of New
JERSEY and because of the financial
standing of the latter corporation is
beyond dispute when the entire opp-
ion OF the trial court is considered"
