Opinion of Supreme Bench on
Law Results in Action in
Two Cases.

Washington. Aug. 25.-The tw0-year SEN
tenco Of Louis Henderstein, convicted at
Baltimore in October. ts0S, on. d charge
of harbOTing and maintaining an alien
girl for immoral purposes, was today
cOmmuted to expire Immediately. The

ton of Attorney General WiCkeTsham,
who was moved by decision of the SUI
section 3 of the immigration act, of Feb
ruary 20. 1905, under which Henderstein
was convicted. The section was declared
unconstitutional because il inteTfered
with the police laws of states and mu-
inequalities.

ment had a right to make law, eXClud-
ing aliens imported for immoral purposes,
but that after once admitted such persons
were under the control Of local laws.

suanCe of an Illegal Importation, was an
Offense of which only the states and not
the federal government could take cogni-
zance.

WIZARD HURRIES
Home TO CHECK
Deep DARK PLOT
Enemies Were After His Scalp
and He Returned to
Protect 1t.
TEW YORK, Aug. 25.-That Ed

N wa ward H. Hartman arsi returned ',at5 ned
from Europe yesterday more be-
cause he was fighting mad than that
the state of his health demanded it.
was the startling declaration today of
some of his closest real friends in the
financial district. They developed the
idea that while taking the baths in Aus
Jria he learned of a plot or conspiracy
on the part of d number of prominent
fnanciers, some of them directors in
the Union Pacific or Southern Pacific.
to cut d melon" on their own account.
Union Pacific preferred was to have
been the medium. Harriman's death
abroad was expected and would have
been the signal for the cutting. The
plan was carefully drawn and millions
would have been won. 1t failed when
Mr.. Hartman showed that he was still
in touch even with the innermost coun-
ellis of his associates. He refused to
die as scheduled by them and took the
long chance of coming home for the
after-cure that his European doctors
prescribed him to take in France.
Thought Him Dying.
Some of his associates decided when
he went abroad for his health that he
was a dying man. Frankly, they did
not expect him to return from the baths
and health machines of the foreign doc
tors They decided that his death, or
even his retirement, would offer an OPP
pOTtunity to liQuidate the Union Pacific
company, which is princely rich, par
ticularly in its holdings of stocks and
bonds Of other railroad corporations.
Union Pacific common was already too
high in the market to form the basis of
a profitable pool Union Pacific pre-
ferred was going begging just under
par, owing to that charter 4 per cent
deadline. The conspirators, as the real
friends of Hartman call the clique,
thought they had found a way around
this deadline.
The plan was to liquidate the Union
Pacific company. The investment hold
ings were to be put into one new cor
poration: the real railroad investment
into another. The plan was labelled
segregation"
The word was passed in Wall street
that Union Pacific preferred was a good
thing to buy. The men who passed the
tip were men who ought to know. They
We're buying heavily on their own per-
sOnal accounts The outsiders fell in
and in the week ending Aug. IA this
per cent limit stock went up twelve
points to lis. Share after share was
gObbled up eagerly and the melon was
ripe for cutting.
Ex-Governor Benjamin r. Odell sud
denly took a steamer for Europe short
ly after the Union Pacific preferred
syndicate got under way. An inspired
interview from his own town of New
burg, offered to all the newspapers and
tod Lr~ FnT !, h.,
to see Mr.. Hartman about New York
politics
The next they heard was that Harri-
man had changed his mind about after
curing in Europe and that he had
booked passage on the Kaiser Wilhelm
IL, which arrived Tuesday, according
to schedule.
This decision took the knife out of the
hands Of the melOn-cutters and the real
insiders, Wall street believes, got from

WESTERN BANKS HAVE
PLENTY OF MONEY
Acting Secretary of the Treasury
Says They Can Get Along With
nnt Aid
out Aid.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Western banks
and those of the interior generally are
Overlooking with money. They can get
along with little aid from eastern banks.
This is the view Of Acting Secretary of
tne Treasury Norton, who has just re-
turned from Beverly, where he had d
conference with the president. Any talk
indicating that the banks are pressed for
money with which TO move the crops
seems to be discounted by this view OF
the acting secretary. Not for two months
has there been d failure of a national
bank.

INSANITY is DEFENSE.

Omaha, Aug 25.-The evidence intro
duced by the defense today in the court
martial trial of former Corporal Lysle
Crabtree, charged with the murder of
Captain Raymond of the Second cavalry
indicated an attempt to prove Crabtree
insane at the present time. It seems that
his attorneys plan to have him sent to an
asylum rather than try to secure his ac-
quittal on the ground that insanity
prompted the crime.

As the battalion lined up Captain Webb
addressed the cadets; You men are
neither sugar nor salt" said he. "A little
rain won't hurt you. and I am going 10
carry out our part of the program just
as if the sun were shining. I want YOU
TO disregard the rain absolutely" And
they did.
Boys Stand in Rain.
Through some unfortunate misunder-
standing as 10 the hour for the ceremOn-
les, Governor Spry and his staff were a
halt hour late IN arriving at the main en-
trance. During all thar time the boys
stood in the rain, and they maintained
-tEeiE. line as iIsEfectly as though the blu
est of blue skies arched above them
They were soldiers ALL though most Of
them were wet to the skin. Now. for
fear that some anxious mother may be
caused few moments of distress It may
be well TO quote the grizzlGd police ser
geant who has charge Of the main gate

They look great in them uniforms an
the rain won't hurt 'em a hit. I been
Wal1in a beat in this town for twenty
five years an l never heard of anybody
b. bein' hurt by rain in Seattle"
The governor was scheduled to arrive at
1880 o'clock. 1t was II o'clock when the
automobile containing the chief executive
and his staff drew up at the gate. Three
thousand persons were waiting in the rain
to see the ceremony. Governor Spry and
his attendants-and those attendants Ger
tainly did look nifty in their full dress
uniforms-were as game as the boys All
of them had umbrellas Colonel Hiram
T. Booth even had an automobile coat,
but all Of them discarded their protection
from the elements and walked down the
line with the rain pounding them from
every angle.
Cadets Present Arms.
As one man the cadets presented arms.
as one man they wheeled into line at the
close OF the review. and marching ahead
of Governor Spry and the staff proceeded
towards the Utah building. As a special
compliment to the exposition. the band
PLAYED the A.-P.-Y. march and played
IL i'm a manner that aroused most COM
plmentary comments. On arriving at the
building the cadets were dismissed and
sent back to their camp for a change Of
uniform. while the ceremonies of formally
dedicating the building were carried out
This function was presided over by Di-
rector General L. Nadeau. Mr. Nadeau in

Governor Spry was the next speaker.
The executive was in a happy mood He
said among other things that Utah was
glad to be represented at the exposition

Savings
BANKS IN FAVOR
With PRESIDENT
viii Urge Their Creation in His
Next Message to the
Congress.

n EVERLY. Mass. Aug. 25--President
N Taft indicated in talks with callers
today that in his message 10 con-
gress next December ne will strongly
urge the early establishment of "a postal
savings bank system. He will ask that
the Republican platform declaration in
favor of postal banks be fulfilled as
speedily as possible.
President Taft believes several hundred
millions of dollars would be placed at
the governments disposa{ through postal
savings banks. 1t Is suggested that this
money might well be employed in taking
up the 5000 100000 or S700O00000 outstaud-
ing of government ? per cent bonds.
which have given much concern to the
treasury department officials.
Already the bonds are selling below
par, and there is fear Of further depres-
sion. The president believes the postal
banks would appeal to tiraid persons, who
are afraid to trust the ordinary banks
and would rather get tie small interest
the. government woula9siYe than to place
No Harm to Banks.
BY placing the interest to be allowed
by the postal banks at less than . per
cent, Mr.. Taft is convinced that no harm
would be done to the ordinary banks of
commerce, for discriminating persons who
now place THEN money in these banks
ana are appreciative of what these banks
are doing for the community would not
withdraw money drawing a high rate
and place it under government care at
half the interest offered by the ordinary
savings banks. Secretary Meyer strongly
favors the postal banks
President Taft expressed himself as I'M
alteTably opposed to a guarantee Of bank
deposits. He declared he did not be
iieVe in making one set of banks stand
responsible for another set
Tomorrow the president will confer
with Senator AldriCn, chairman of the
senate finance committee, and Secretary
MacNeagh- The postal banks will have
a share in the discussion.
President Taft had a long talk today
with Amos 2. Wilder. American consul
general at Shanghai, China and discussed
with him the opportunities for extending
American trade in that empire.
