DEAD MAN AT CLOVIS
MAY NOT BE A SUICIDE.

Clovis N. NJ, March 1.-Develop-
me1ts today at Clovis make 1t appear
that the dead man found hanging by
a rope last night in the old cement
plant may not have been a suicide,
but victim of foul play. His name
was e J. McGannon and not Hatch,
as at first reported. The peculiar
position of the body with the toes
touching the floor and other things
indicated that McGannon may have
been killed before he was hanged.
Lester Hix, owner of the cement plant
and laborer named Murray Busch
were arrested and failed to appear as
witnesses. A partial hearing was
held before q coroner's jury today
Physicians tonight viii examine the
dead mans stomach for traces Of pol
son.
1t is the general opinion aere that
the arrested men are innocent of any
connection with McGannon's death, as
there could be no apparent motive
for killing hfn.

RUSSIA Rejects cHINA's
NOTE ON RAILROADS.

Pekin. China. March 4.-The Rus

The Russian note includes a conn

Kalgan railroad by foreign capital
to Baikal, Russia to build the Siber-

STRIKE AT

reaching an aznicable. agreement In
the street car strike having been a.
bandoned, the leaders OF the labor un-

workmen which goes into effect at
midnight
The directors of the company met
today but nothing was given out as to
whether the company would answer
the request of the men for arbitra-
tion.
The number of men that will obey
the strike order cannot even be ap-
proximated. The unions claim an af-

thousand. but Director of Public SAT

LIVE STOCK
SHIP PMEVTS

Washington. March 4.-How severe
a punishment Congress has provided
for railroads guilty of violating the
so-called "Twenty-Eight Hour Law"
for the unlawful confinement OF live
stock transportation was the basis
for a stubborn contest today before
the Supreme Court of the United
States. Counsel for the government
contend that the unit for fining rail-
roads is the separate shipment, while
the. legal representatives of the Bal
timore and Ohio Southwestern Rail
road Company insist that the unit
is the train, no matter of how many
separate shipments it is composed.
Some features of the case resemble
the s29 900 900 Standard Oil case.
The osrtcone of the controversy
will have a far-reaching effect. Ma
ny separate consignments of stock
are carried frequently in one train, SO
the sum of the penalty, imposed BY
the law, will vary from 500 to many
times 800, according to the outcome
of the litigation. TIE Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern Railroad alone
appears in this case, but practically
every common carried engaged in in
terstate commerce in the United
States will feel the effect of the deci-
sion.
This controversy was begun the On
tied States District Attorney for the
Southern District of Ohio. filed eleven
cases against the Baltimore and Ohto
Southwestern Railroad Co.. claiming
that it had carried as many shipments
of live stock from shippers In various
points In Illinois to Cincinnati VITA

Hour Law.
The railroad admitted tie shipment
and its detention beyond the statute
ry time but it averred guilt OF only

had intended there should be a fne
of $500. 1.-THE maximum penalty for
one offense,) for each head OF stock
delayed, or for each shipment delay
ed or for each car load delayed, 1t
was easy to say so. Bearing in mind
the rule Of strict Interpretation OF the
penal statutes. the only reasonable
CONSTRUCTION OF the statute Is that the
detention OF all stock ON the same
train constitutes but one offense.
Congress did not deem it neces-
sary to be so severe as to permit a
fine OF OF $500 for each shipment In a
train load containing possibly fifty
shipments, when a single fine of $500
would answer as WELL"
Several routes lead TO the conclu-
sion taat the separate shipment was
meant as the basis, the government
contends
Suppose cattle are loaded into the
cars by the carrier and kept there for
more than % hours without unloading
before the cars are put into any
train." says Solicitor General Bowers
in his brief. "Is the train the unit OF
offense, though there has been no
train +"
He asked the same question where
cattle Lad been sidetracked in cars
and the train proceeded. In the case
Of cattle not being fed after they were
mloaded. he claimed the train plain
ly was not meant to be the unit.
Indeed, the word train does not
once occur In the act" he says.
He further contends that his point
Is proved by means of the provisions
regarding owners consent to the ex-
tension of time from 2S to SO lours.
"The owners consent affects his
shipment, and only his shipment.
whether 1t is In a train with other
shipments OF live stock or not; and
the result Is that the rule OF conduct
for the carrier varies as to different
shipments. The shipment being the
unit as TO which the carriers conduct
In prescribed by statute. 1t must equ-
ally be the unit of the carriers mis-
conduct through violation of the pre-
scribed rule Of conduct concerning
tae shipment"
The court may take some time be
fore handing down a decision in the
case.

SEVERITY OF new YORK COURT

Young Edmund A. Guggenheim,
son of Senator Simon Guggenheim,
was sent to Jail. He served out his
sentence and is now square with the
law. Society should not look
askance at him nor refuse him an
opportunity to earn an honest living.
His punishment is over and he
should not be made to suffer for the
rest of life. Guggenheim, it ap-
pears, is not a first offender; but
this should not be held against him
now that the law has exacted it's
penalty. Three times was Gug-
genheim in the tolls. The first two
offenses did not bring him behind
the prison bars. But it was three
times and out; or, rather three
times and in, for the third time
landed the young man in the Tombs
to serve out sentence of thirty
five minutes in Jail imposed by
severe and cruel New York Judge.
Guggenheim was not measured,
"mugged," or treated to a free
prison hair cut. He was not COM
PEELED to don striped raiment. He
was not presented with a repast of
bread and water. He was not even
placed in a cell. A kind hearted
warden, evidently disappearing
of the harshness of the Judge,
allowed the young offender to spend
the time of his incarceration in the
lawyers room Of the Tombs. For
thirty-fve long and dreary minutes
the unfortunate youth pinned fer
freedom. One cannot sufficiently
praise that warden who did so much
to alleviate the rigor of the tedious
confinement. Cleveland Plain
