course of the term OF court II Is not

court has decided adversely. to ask
the privilege of rehearing, and the
court frequently grants permission TO
the attorneys to present petition
for a rehearing. This was done recent

River Rate Case" But the petition
for the rehearing was not filed, as
stated by many newspapers, 1t was

The late Justice Bradley had little
patience with attorneys who petition
cd for rehearings; he always spoke
Of II az an unavoidable nuisance. And
II may be added that rehearings are
rarely granted. It was on the rehear-
ing Of the income tax case that the
supreme court reversed itself and de-
clared the tax unconstitutional.

ment is directed to make tests with
the outside explosive shell. Two
years ago the navy department gave
IL out that tests of this character
would be made, but for some unex-
planned reason, the officers in charge
OF this work declined to make the
tests. although they had the money
to pay the expenses. The advocates
of the outside shell tests say the OBJ
lection to the experiments with the
shell Is that it will explode the the
DRY OF the armor piercing shell at the
average battle range. Unless the
init to the house on this subject next
December. it may be called upon to
explain why the outside shell explo-
sive experiments have not been made.
The claim Is made that 1t was the
use OF the outside explosive shell by
the Japs, that did up the Russian
navy. Authorities say, the new shell
will revolutionize the pavies of the
world.
When congress adjourned, June 25,
there were just two bills. known as
administration measures, pending be-
fore the house judiciary committee
They were the anti-iniunction and the
federal incorporation bills. The bills
were referred to a subcommittee and
were never taken up. Nor were there
any members who asked for a hearing
on the bills. Members of the house,
who still linger here on departmental
business, say II the republicans win
in the November elections, these two
bills will go over until the next ses-
sion, but II the democrats carry the
, house. an effort will be made to put
through the bill to give federal chart
ers to corporations doing an interstate
commerce business. This bill is said
to be favored by the railroads on the
ground that it would have a tendency
to relieve them from some of the an
noyances of state regulations.
The bill might pass the house. but
II would have a hard time in getting
the approval Of the progressives in
the senate.
Officials Of the congressional cam.
paign committee are not deeply i'm
pressed with the law which President
Taft signed. June 25. requiring the
publicity OF campaign funds thirty
days after the election. Those who
have carefully examined the law say
that It is nothing more nor less than

Next came the erection of a statue to Gen.
James b. Mcpherson. This was erected through
the efforts of the Society of the Army of the
Tennessee, and it was intended that the mon
ument should constitute McPherson's tomb
Beneath the statue is a vault designed to re-
ceive the body Of the gallant officer killed near
Atlanta, but such interment was never made.
The statue represents Mcpherson as he led in
battle. In his right hand he holds field glasses

tlefeld parks which have not included at the

A second and even more direct influence In fos-
tering the present activity in the creation OF
memorials in marble and bronze is the custom
which has grown up with the Development OF the
battlefield park plan OF suitably marking every
historic spot at the scene of a great struggle be-
tween the Union and Confederate forces. This
explains the dozens and even hundreds Of statues,
monuments and markers that are now to be

few years. This is due,

while opposite is group representing

All Of these equestrian statues have
cost considerable sums. The General
Scott statue cost $4,000, and the ped.
estal $4,000 more. The bronze figure
Of Mcpherson cost $4,000, and the
pedestal $4,000. The sum of 100000
was paid for Wards matchless statue
of Thomas, and $4,000 for the ped
estal. The statue of General Hancock
involved the expenditure of $4,000 all
told, and the Logan statue cost $685.,
900, of which sum congress appropri-
ated $4,000. AS has been said, the
maximum expenditure will be made in
the case Of the great memorial to
General Grant, upon which at least
S250,000 will be expended.
