The supreme court today at To
peka rendered a decision in the Alb
ilene commission government case
deciding for the city council ant
against Mayor Rice and L. H. Kump
Rice and Kump through their at
torneys, c. s. Crawford and G. w
Hurd, asked for a mandamus writ
(Which means an order to act) tc
compel the council to canvass the
vote for commissioners within ten
days. The council answered through
its attorneys, Judge Moore, II. L,
Humphrey and s. s. Smith, that 1t
did noe canvass the vote because
there were no offices to fill, the
election to adopt commission gov
ernment having been illegal because
sufficient publication of the election
notice was not given in the official
paper, the Democrat.
1t was argued before the court
Tuesday. Today the court denied
the writ on the ground that notice of
election was not properly given, The
opinion in full will be filed later.
The mandamus proceeding was
brought solely on the expectation
that the council could be forced to
canvass the vote without going into
the merits Of the case. With the COM
missioners once seated, then 1t
would be up to the citizens to get
them out. But the court heard all
the evidence from the beginning and
decided in the interest of justice
and fairness.
There is no commission form Of
government; A. w. Rice, l.. Fl.
Kump, and ]. X. Forney will not
take office because there are no Of
fices to fill.

The Reflector Upheld.

The Reflector first called atten-
ton to the illegality of the commits
sion election on the day before the
election was held. The Chronicle
declared 1t was all right and the Re-
flector was liar. The mayor went
on with the election and the Reflect
OF was roundly abused because 1t
said the election for commissioners
would be illegal. The Reflector
stated that the. mayor and city at
torney had consulted the attorney
general. Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Craw-
ford printed signed pieces in which
they said the Reflector was a liar.
The Reflector then printed the let
ter Rice had received from the at
torney general which included one
from the mayor asking an opinion.
The attorney general said the elec-
tion might stand II a majority Of the
voters voted for the commission form
of government. Only AL out of
/ 800 had SO voted.
A. w. Rice hurried into the field
with nomination papers for himself
for mayor. o. p Fenton and j. X.

MAY GIVE UP TUG.
New Plan for Conveying Freight to
Forts Contemplated.

In an effort TO economize in eXpendi-
lures in the War Department. it is re-
Sarded as possible that the government
tug running between this city and the Po-
tomac forts may be withdrawn from serv-
ice and the freight business between this
city and the forts placed in the hands of
one of the steamboat lines.
Recently the quartermaster's depart
ment issued specifications describing the
class of steamer wanted for the service
and the trips she would be expected to
make ii the business We're turned over to
the commercial lines. These specifications
have been sent to the local steamboat
companies, but IL is said none has sig
nified its intention of complying with
them.
Ii is said that the amount of business
done between this city and the Potomac
forts would not Justify the building Of the
boat wanted and running her as specified,
50 that IL is probable that the quarter
masters department will have to keep its
boats in service unless the specifications
are considerably modified. II is stated
that one OF the local steamboat cOmpa-
MES has taken the matter up with the
department and will put a boat il now ha 5
in service If the government will accept
her.

Attorney General Silent.

Attorney General Straus. who drafted
the law, declined to comment upon the
Reform League report on the ground
that if prosecutions were to follow the
cases probably would go to the court of
appeals, when he would be called upon
TO prosecute for the state. Under these
circumstances. he thought. any comment
on his part would be improper.
Even il the report should not result
in any league proceedings against any
of the candidates. il is believed it will
have the effect of bringing before the
public any weak spots which might exist
in the law. and which could be remedied
at the next session OF the Legislature. -
will also result in a clearer understand
ing of the law among the politicians.

CANDIDATES ACCUSED,
GRAND JURY TO ACT
MARYLAND Reform League Files
Charges Against Seven
Congressional Aspirants.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

BALTIMORE. Md. October -, 1910.
Political interest centers here on the
proba BILE action to be taken by the grand
jury next week on the charges filed by
the Reform League against seven candi-
dates in the recent congressional pri-
mary The charges are that these candi
dates have violated the corrupt practices
act.
Those who stand accused are George
Konig and James Young. democrats, and
Charles }. Steiner and Charles w. Main.
republicans of the third district. and
James H. Preston. j. Charles Linthicum
and John NJ. Deponai. democrats. of the
fourth district.
The Reform League report first takes
up the OF Senator Linthicum. who
filed two reports, and finds that by the
first he exceeded the limit of lawful eX
peIiditure by S1.j1J.6i. and by the second
had overstepped the bounds by s'a1.;'l.
Against Preston the league charges
that he appears to have filed no state.
nent whatever. and this. in itself. is
clear viola ton of section lGS Moreover,
of SI.l3p.t-i. reported by William G. Page.

that sJ+n.f:, was unlawfuly expended.
while finally. of l4I challengers. H.
watchers and -}S messengers, the names
OF only three or four are given.
Instead of expanding S. for incident
ais. through his political agent, De
ponai appears to have dlshurSed 1t HIM
self" and. although lit may be assumed
treasurer neither received nor expended
any money. nevertheless it seems clear
that he violated the law in not making
a report showing these facts.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-10-23
What Accused Men Say.

In discussing the report Mr.. Linthicum
said: The Reform League has. a right
to It's opinion. but l think ii is wrong
in this case. Before I filed my report
/ submitted it to several lawyers and
they approved it. | also discussed the
question with Attorney General Straus
and he told me that l had the right to
contribute S25 for every 1000 in the dis
trict. AS member of the legislature I
worked and voted for the corrupt prac
tees act and am anxious that it. should
be carried outs
Mr.. Preston thus explains himself: '"rhe
report of my campaign expenses was
filed in accordance with the law as L
does not hold that a defeated candidate
in the primaries should file a report.
This is only required of the successful
candidate. All that was necessary in my
case was for the political agent to file a
report
Mr.. Deponai said: Il have carefully
read the provisions of the act and be-
lieve that my report complies with the
law. Further than this / have no COM
ment to make on the report of the Re-
form League
Mr. Main is the only candidate in the
third district who would make a state
ment He contends that the league is
mistaken in declaring that Mr.. Dean did
not have the right to art his cam
paign treasurer mir. Dean said Mr..
MAN,, was elected treasurer by the
members of the state central committed
representing the wards in the third con-
gressional district. Under the law this
committee had a perfect right to name
the treasurer. Particular care was en-
We do not believe we have violated the
law.
