The permission was given and today
John N. Steele counsel for the syndicate

tor. appeared. Mr.. Birch was put on the
stand and his story drawn out by Mr.
Steele. 1t resulted in testimony to the
effect that the syndicate owned one rail
road and had no interest in any other in
Alaska. that it owned one copper mine
and had no interest in any other. and
owned no coal lands at all. Both Messrs.
Steele and Birch insisted that there wa
no truth in reports that the syndicate

Want Your Mail?
Get Your Boxes

Washington. Feb 1S.-Persons vino
live in cities and haven't mail boxes
in front of their residences are liable
not to receive any mail after June 80,
1911 Certainly they will not, if a pro-
vision of the postoflice appropriation
bill becomes a law. The provision pro
hibits any letter carrier from deliver
ing any mail at any house unless therr
is a suitable mail box on the outside to
receive it. 1t means that Uncle Sam j :
tired of having his uniformed carrier
wait for people to take their time III
answering their door bells. A saving OF
100000 is estimated IN the saving o.
time and efficiency.
The vast expenditure by the peopl =
of the country which will be required
to meet the provisions of this bill in
the way of providing new mail boxes
is estimated at approximately 100000
600
The postofiice appropriation bill this
year will carry 500, sl2.915, an increase OF
over 100000 over the current years ap-
preparation. A provision is contained il
the bill that the government shall discon-
tinue t. . "rinting of the names and ad-
dresses business nrmS on envelopes.

Election Experts Trying
To Figure a Way
To Hold Special Primary EIec-
lion 10 Choose Successor
To Late Congressman ". c. Lover.
Ing Of Taunton, Mass.

marlborough, Mass, Feb. 1s.-Pol-
iticians and election experts are wrink-
ling their brows and giving deep
thought in an endeavor to find a So
luton for q seemingly unsurmOuntable
obstacle which lies in the way Of the
special congressional primary election
to select candidates to succeed the late
William c. Lowering Of Taunton as
a member of the National House Of
Representatives.
The difficulty lays in the fact that
the officers of both the Republican and
the Democratic state committees ap-
parently forgot that Middleboro was
the only town in the district which
holds it's primary elections under the
provisions of the Luce joint caucus
act.
The Republican state committee has
issued call for convention on March
s. while the Democratic state COM
Hlittee has set the date for it's party
convention for March /. These dates
are all right for every city and town
in the district except Middleboro. If
Middleboro follows the provisions of
the Luce law and holds its joint pri-
mary election on the third Thursday
preceding the 22nd day of the month";
the caucuses will fall on March g.
The Luce law also provides that the
caucuses must be held at least four
days before the convention. In this
case the Democratic caucus, under the
law would be held two days after the
convention, while the Republican eau
Gus would be held only two days be-
fore the convention.
1t is thought that in order to get
around the law, the Republican and
Democratic state committees will have
to issue new calls for conventions to
be held not earlier than March S.

Locomotive Jumps Rails
Near Portsmouth, n. H.
Tender Blocks Track and Keeps
The Cars on The Iron.
EngILe PIunges Down 25.Foot En-.
bankment...Firemen Hurt.

Portsmouth, n. H., Feb. 1S--The pas
sengers on the early morning train
from this city on the Dover and
Portsmouth branch Of the Boston &:
Maine Railroad were probably saved
from serious injury by the tender
which blocked the track when the To-
connective left the rails today.
The locomotive jumped a frog at
Freemans Poirt. one mile from Ports
mouth, and went over a 25-foot en-
bankment. The tender was thrown
across the rails and the baggage car
was also derailed but the tender pre-
vented the cars from going over the
embankrlent.
The only person hurt was Fireman
Charles e. Lewis. who was slightly in
iured in jumping. Engineer Charles w.
Game remained in his cab.
There was some delay In clearing
the track, as the wrecking train was
at Jewett, Nc, placing another derail-
ed locomotive on the irons.

surance that the capsized derelict found
off Cape Ann and towed to this port by
the revenue cutter Androscoggin Wednes-
day is the Inflated schooner George w.
Prescott of Rockland, Me-. was gained to-
day when in an attempt to right the YES
sci the name Prescott was seen on one
of her ratings as it was raised to the
surface for a moment. The Prescott's
captain, T. D. Crowley of Jonesport, and
her crew of three are believed to have
persisted.
The attempt to right the vessel today
proved useless, although the lighters
Hercules and Philip, with two tugs. spent
most of the day at the task. Further eff
forts will be abandoned until Monday and
the vessel meanwhile will be left where
she lies, in the inner harbor. The work
ers today saw lumber on her deck and it
is believed that she capsized so quickly

introduced in House Fri
day by Rep. Moon.
Different from All Others.
COrreCts Present Evils.
Hearings Must Be Given..An kd.
ninistration Bill.

Washington, Feb 1S-What is gener-
ally recognized as the administration
bill on the important subject of the
regulation of court injunctions was
introduced today by Representative
Moon of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the committee on revision of laws.
The phraseology Of this particular
bill, it is expected, will be given care
ful scrutiny. 1t deals with a subject in
which the President has been deeply
interested and one which he has been
anxious to see enacted into law in such
careful form as to redeem the pledges
Of his party on the subject and con-
slitUtr no drastic Innovation in legal
procedure. Moon recently mad a
lengthy talk with Mr. Taft in refer
enCe to anti-injunction legislation.
The bill is a brief one. covering a
single typewriter Sheet In effect, it
provides that no injunction, whether
nterlocutory or permanent, shall be
issued by any federal court or judge
without previous notice and an oppor-
tunity to be heard on behalf of the
parties enioined. But, it says further,
if there appears a probability that
immediate and irreparable injury is
likely to insue the court may issue
temporary restraining order without
notice. 1t is required that every such
order shall define the injury, state why
ii is irreparable and why granted with
out notice and shall not extend more
than seven days from the time the no.
tice is served. In explaining his bill, Mr..
Moon said
There are radical differences be-
tween the Moon bill and any other bill
on this important subject that has.
been heretofore introduced. My bill
defines accurately the distinction be-
| tween the various phases Of the in
junctive process. 1t divides injunc-
tons proper into two comprehensive
classes Interlocutory examinations and
final injunctions-and prohibits abso
lutely the issuance of such injunctions
without notice and without an oppor-
| tunity of the defendant to be heard.
1t then provides for what is some
| times. in present practice. indefinitely
| termed preliminary or temporary in
| junction. but which is designated in
| the bill by it's appropriate title of re
| straining order
| An important feature of the Moon
| bill is that it accurately and definitely
defines the two essential prerequisites
| of a restraining order without notice.
First. by irreparahle injury. and sec
| ond the additional requirement that the
| giving of notice or the delay incident
thereto would not prevent the doing
of the act sought to be restrained be-

1T also requires that the judge be-
fore granting this order shall find
these fact judicially, either from aft
davits filed or showings otherwise
made and shall spread them upon the
