STATES.

Judge S. d, McRaynolds Of the Hamil-
ton county criminal court today sus.
tanned a motion to quash the indict-
ment against the j WI. Kelly Com
pany Of Chattanooga, indicted for
selling whisky in Tennessee to be
shipped out of the state in violation
of the manufacturers prohibition
law, holding that so far as the law
came In conflict with the interstate
commerce law It was unconstitution-
al and hence he dismissed the in.
dictments. The Judge, however held
the defendant guilty in two cases or
selling whisBey to wholesale dealers
in Tennessee, imposing the statu-
tory penalty Of $50 and six months in
each case.
Judge McReynolds hel that the
state had right. under police power,
TO regulate or forbid the gale or man
ufacture OF liquor within its bounds,
but it can not prohibit interstate
sales.
The attorney general at once filed
notice Of an appeal to the supreme
court, and dthis action will result in
all three of the indictments being
carried UP.
The opinion OF Judge Reynolds as
rendered Is In line with the opinion
Of Chancellor Mcconnell, which was
rendered year ago. The liquor con
'cerns filed bill in the chancery
court and attempted to enjoin the
sheriff's force and the attorney-gen-
eral from interfering with mp the
want of jurisdiction OF the chancery
court. The case was decided by the
chancellor. and he denied the in
junction as prayed for by the com.
plainants, but held that the act of
the legislature was not intended to
prohibit shipment of liquor to points
without the state, else 1t would be
unconstitutional. Upon appeal to tne
supreme court that body held that
the chancery court did not have juris-
diction In the mater and the case
was reversed and ordered to be dis
missed.

LONDON PREPARES TO

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The visit of the
American warships to English ports is
exciting the liveliest interest in Eng
lanC. 1t is expected that London will
be filed with American sailors during
the next few weeks, and arrangements
have been made to entertain the thou
sands of bluejackets who will come

seamen's and soldiers clubs and the
proprietors of music halls and theatres.

COURT AFF|RMS
CONVICTION OF
ESSEX DOCTOR
Highest Tribunal Decides APP
peal OF DR.. J. w. Wilson
Against Physician.

TRENTON, Nov. 16.-The Court of
Errors and Appeals has affirmed the
.oonyiction of DR.. j. w. Wilson, who
was convicted in Essex county on a
charge of malpractice. In sustaining
the conviction the Court of Errors in a
memorandum says:
1.-THE opinion of the Supreme Court
deals with the questions therein dis
cussed in a satisfactory manner 1t is,
however, urged that the court failed to
consider the question whether under an
Indictment charging the defendant with
the use of instruments to procure a
miscarriage he could be convicted If he
did not actually participate in the use
OF the instruments either by being
present, aiding and assisting, or by
being in a position where he could give
directions as to the use of the instru-
ments.
I'VE think that in a case of misde-
meanor, where all arc liable as prin-
cipals, the defendant may be convicted
under an indictment charging him with
the actuality of the criminal act, al
though he was not personally present,
and would in case of a common law
felony be liable only as an accessory.
The reason is that such an indictment
charges the defendant according to the
legal effects of the offense. In this
case the defendant is in legal effect
guilty of using the instrument for the
criminal purpose. The judgment must,
therefore. be affirmed"

Mrs. James Watson Webb Be-

Victim, as Was Reported.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-For eleven days
Chicago has been the home of one of
the richest heiresses in the United
States. Yesterday it became known
that the hurried visit TO Chicago of
Mrs. H. o. Havemeyer, widow of the
Sugar King" and Mrs. w. Seward
Webb, of New York, was not to nurse
their daughter and daughter-in-law,
Mrs James Watson Webb, back to
health from an attack of pneumonia,

millions.
At little home at 155 East Division
street the heiress made her debut in
the world, while Chicago society
thought Mrs. Webb was seriously Ill
with pneumonia.
The grandmothers are still in the city
and will remain for number of days
at least The mother was able to sit
up yesterday.
Immediately after the marriage in
New York last February Mr.. and Mrs.
Webb sailed for Europe, where they
spent their honeymoon motoring On
their return in the spring they came to
Chicago to reside. Mr.. Webb took a
position as clerk for the Chicago and
Northwestern railway. Later on it was
announced that young Webb was
making good at his work.

President of Panama Will Enter

State Banquet Tonight.

PANAMA, Nov. 16.-President Taft's
visit is bearing fruit in the matter of
first-hand information secured which
will help him to deal with the prob
lens involved in the construction,
maintenance and control of the Panama
canal.
Officials on the ground are urging
the President to recommend to Con-
gress single-headed government for
the canal zone and full and permanent
government control of the waterway
and the supply depots.
President Taft is gratified over the
results of his three days inspection.
Today he went deep down in the Cule-
bra cut, giving especial attention to
this, the most difficult part of the con-
struction.
The President was surprised to learn
that the zone was not included in the
operations of the postal bank law and
that some of the workmen believed
that Wall Street influence had robbed
them of the benefit of this legislation
AS a result Of representations made TO
him it is probable that Mr.. Taft in his
special message to Congress will recon-
establishment of postal banks in the
zone, where they are much desired to
care for enormous deposits of salaries
and wages.
During the day the President heard
delegations of mechanics and laborers,
who are asking increased wages based
on increases in the United States. Con
ditions here, however, differ from those
in the United States. as the govern
ment commissary has been successful
in preventing the Increased cost in
living that has been general elsewhere.
1t is doubtful that larger wages will
be paid In the zone.
Tonight President Taft will leave
United States territory to enter Pan
anna City, where he will be the guest
of President Arosemena at a banquet
He also will visit American Minister

tion of the aged author is critical, but
not hopeless. He experienced an in

Terry Parker, counsel for the Com
muters' League of the State of New
Jersey. is placing the grievances of the
Jersey commuters before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. in session at
the Waldorf in New York
City, today.
The first witness examined was
James NJ Wood, passenger traffic man.
ager of the New Jersey Central rail-
road. He submitted a table of rates
after which Commissioner John M.
Harlan declared a recess for luncheon.
directing the witness to return for fur
ther testimony at the afternoon ses-
sion.
The session is the first held by the
Federal commission since it met at
Washington, D. c., IN the spring. But
Upon resumption of the hearing Mr..
Wood stated that the number of per-
sons passing through the Jersey City
station in the six months ending Sep
tember 20, 1910, was 7.437 ,547. OF whom
1898, 700, or 40 per cent. used the Nc
Adoo terminals. About SO per cent. of
the traffic came from or was destined
to places In the ewN Brunswick zone.
and 4S per cent. Of the total went to or
came from eNwark.
The enormous expenses of construc-
ton and Equipment the new freight
line required from Morrisville west of
Trenton to tidewater, and the increase
in wages, over $50 per cent. in the last
ten years and 1870 per cent in the last
four years, justified the increased rates
in Mr.. Woods opinion.
The witness placed the Pennsylvania
in a phlIantnropic light when he point
ed out that the sixty-trip ticket start
ed with only fifty-four rides on it,
which We're deemed sufficient for work
aday purposes, and that later the rail-
road. with marked generosity, added
six more trips, so that the commuter
could indulge himself in occasional
visits to a metropolitan church, or even
the theatre now and then.
little satisfaction was given to the en-
ragged commuters al that time, except
TO put the issue in such shape as to
compel the various railroad companies
to produce evidence to show that the
increases in the Communication rates
We're reasonable and just.
Mr. Parker has spent several weeks
preparing his brief against the rail-
roads. The Federal commission vii

the Jersey commuters when Martin H
Knapp, president of the Federal COM
mission, decided to put the railroads
on the defense by compelling them tc

tation rates was reasonable.
