Man Who Wrote Threatening Letters
Goes to Asylum.

Salt Lake, May 9.-Suffering from
the hallucnation that Thomas Kearns.
former United States senator, had
hired men to kill him, l.. A. Woodruff.
a miner Of Hlte, Garfield county, was
yesterday declared insane and sent to
the state institution at Provo by com
mission presided over by Judge T. D..
Lewis.
Woodruff was arrested and brought
to Salt Lake by United States Deputy
Marshal Julian Riley to face charge
of writing threatening letters through
the mail. He had several times issued
challenges to the former senator to
fight a duel with any weapons that Mr.
Kearns might select On receiving no
replies, he became more abusive and
threatening. He also wrote Governor
William Spry several times, advising
the governor on how the business OF
the state should be conducted.
Another belief was that he was being
followed by BLACK Hand" desperadoes,
who were trying to kill him. Woodruff
is 55 years old.

there is always plenty of support. This

to the players. While they are assured
of getting a good ride for their mon

Dugan has all the boys here "buffa-

the best position in the race. With a

possible to get home first.
James Mcintyre, the boy who pilots

MADE MANY BLUNOERS.

The New York World has not a high
opinion of our law makers. If we are
to have a government of law. that pa
per declares, Il Is obvious that the men
who make law and attempt to enforce
them should have some knowledge of
law and precedent The Hepburn act,
designed to prevent railroad companies
from owning and operating coal mines
and monopolizing the fuel supply, Is
practically nullif1ed by the Supreme
Court of the United States because 1t
fails to state in proper language its
real intent.
The slovenly character Of the Hep
burn legislation is shown by the fact
upon the point involved, and yet no
one in congress or in the cabinet seems
to have had knowledge of the situa-
ton until the court itself drew atten-
ton to it. By the decision just rem
dered it is held that there Is nothing
In the law prohibiting railroad from
owning and controlling another cor
poration engaged in the production and
sale of coal, and yet that Is exactly
what congress thought 1T was prevent
ing when 1t enacted the Hepburn law
This blunder is more remarkable
for the reason that there are laws In
various states which effectively cover
the very evil here aimed at. In several
commonwealth 1t is unlawful for one
corporation TO hold the stock Of an
other. There are states in which cor
porations are forbidden to own land.
The constitution of Pennsylvania
which preceded the one now i'll force
specifically prohibited railroads from
owning and operating coal mines, and
it was for the purpose of eyading that
provision that the railroads organized
the subsidiary companies which are
now legalized by the Supreme Court.
In effect the judgment just handed
down nullifies the main feature of the
Hepburn law, but 1t intimates very
pointedly that congress may dc exactly
what 1t attempted to do whenever it
shall be so disposed and shall be able
to summon to It's assistance the legal
talent necessary to draw valid act.
