BANCROFT TO
QUIT THE
ROAD
SAID TO HAVE BEEN OFFERED a
HIGHER POSITION.
But He Declines TO Leave Salt Lake
city-Calvin Also is
to Retire.

In its railroad department last Sun
day morning the Los Angeles Exam
iner announced the early retirement OF
w II. Bancroft as general manager Of
the Oregon Short Line road of the
Hartman system and also the resgna-
tion OF %. E. Calvin as general man
ager OF the Southern Pacific system.
These officials are now on a vacation
to the Hawaiian Islands and are ex-
pected to leave Honolulu for San Fran
cisco on a steamer which sails Thurs
day next
Il is alleged that both OF these Of
fcials have been called TO New York
and that the announcements OF their
retirement will follow their trip east.
1t is generally believed that w. H.
Bancroft by reason of his desire to
remain In Salt Lake in preference to
living In the east, as necessItatcd by
a contemplated promotion, will close
his active railroad career with his
retirement from the Oregon Short
Line, and that E. E. Calvin will retire
from railroad work to engage In other
pursuits.
The Standard has predicted changes
In prominent officials OF tho western
lines OF the Hartman system for some
time past, and current rumors seem
to indicate that these predictions were
eminently correct.

Greater care Is beeded In the study
OF psychic phenomena than is required
even In scientific Investigations,
Cooper said yesterday. There are so
many chances to be fooled that the
investigator must keep keenly on the
alert watching every move, constantly
insisting upon test conditions.
Il have not had time to look into the
interesting case Of psychic phenomena
described by the Call this morning,

be accomplished In one or two ways;
either BY what Is commonly known as
clairvoyance or by telepathy. 1t is a

The students Of psychic phenomena

FORMER HEAD OF MINERS
 LOSES BIG DAMAGE SUIT

Washington, January 1S.--The supreme court of the United States today decided against former President Meyer of the Western Federation of Miners, the dam age suit brought by him against former Governor Peabody of Colorado on account of Meyers Imprisonment on the gover- nor's orders because of his connection with the riots at Telluride, Col, in 1901.
 Former Adjutant General Sherman Bell of Colorado also was named as a defend ant. There was a strike of the miners employed in that vicinity and the militia was sent to Telluride to quell what the governor and General Bell claimed was an insurrection. Meyer was an active factor in the agitation and he was rested and imprisoned on the charge of fo- menting trouble. He applied to the state courts for a writ of habeas corpus and when this was refused, brought suit in the United States circuit court for the district of Colorado for damages that there had been no authority for his deten- tion. His petition was dismissed for the reason that Judge Lewis, sitting in the federal court held that he was without jurisdiction. Meyer then appealed to the supreme court, and in an opinion deliv- cred by Justice Holmes that court today affirmed the ruling of the circuit court
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-01-19

In the course of his opinion Justice Holmes said: We must assume that the governor had a right under the state con- stitution and laws to call out troops as was held by the supreme court of the state. The constitution is supplemented by an act providing that when an in vasion of or insurrection in the state is made or threatened, the governor shall order the national guard to repel or sup press the same That means that he shall make the ordinary use of the soldiers to that end; that he may kill persons who resist. and, of course, that he may use the military methods in seizing the bodies of those whom he considers to stand in the way of restoring peace. Such arrests are by way of precaution to prevent the exercise of hostile power So long as such arrests are made in good faith and in the honest belief that they are needed in or der to head the insurrection off, the gover- nor is the final judge and cannot be sub- iected to an action after he is out of of flee on the ground that he had no reason able ground for his belief. When it comes to a decision by the head of the state upon a matter involving it's life. the ordi- nary rights of individuals must yield to what he deems the. necessities of the mo- ment. Public danger warrants the sub stitution of executive process for judicial process
