Henderson Law Given a Trial.

AT the hearing by the United States
Court. at Baltimore. on Friday last of the
case of the Washington and Rockville Rail-
way Company against the States Attorney
and Sheriff of this county. Judge John c.
Rose announced that he would not Grant
the motion for temporary injunction to
restrain the enforcement of that feature
of the law reducing the fare from twenty
to fifteen cents from Rockville to the Dis
trict line, and indicated that il would be
far more satisfactory to the Court to have
the law given fair trial before the case
is finally heard.
The Court was of the opinion that the
provisions of the Henderson law in respect
to communication tickets are unconstltu-
tional, and a temporary injunction was
granted against the enforcement Of this
feature Of the law. II is understood how
ever. that the railway company will con-
tinue to voluntarily issue Communication
tickets. as otherwise 1t might suffer by rea'
son of competition with the B. & o. Rail
road, which issues Communication tickets
Should the railway company at any time
make any determinations between persons
or places in its Communication tickets. il !:
believed that the Public Utilities Commits
sion has ample authority. under the recent
general law of the State, to prevent the
same, even though Judge Rose should con-
clude on the final hearing that the COM
mutation feature can not be sustained
The county officials were represented at
the hearing by Senator Lee and Mr.. Geo
II. Lamar and the railway company by
Messrs Gather & Greenbaum

gently by several of our readers in the question of capital punishment and their marked desire to save from the gallows the men who have been sentenced to execution at the terri torial prison, prompt us to wonder what would be the attitude of these friends in the event of the capture and sentence to death of the men who perpetrated the murder in Ia vapai county last week. A man and his wife. living in a sparsely settled and remote neighborhood. were set upon and killed in the most fiendisb cell food. The go ,d woman was sub jecteG to q treArE;cn orse than death before her life was taken.
 In case the perpetrators of this outrage are caught and sentenced to be hanged. what will be said by the sentimental people who consider that the death penalty is too severe? Will they write us in behalf of the con- demned. men, and will they appeal to the governor to commute the death sentence to comfortable Imprisonment in idleness in Florence.

 The messenger from Washington sent to advise him of the treaty signing broke all records on the trip, making the 3o-day journey in 1s days, and then delivered a paper of no importance. having in his haste picked up the wrong packet in de- parting. Because Jackson put a judge in Jail who, chafing under the harshness of martial law, issued a writ of habeas corpus which the general ignored, the hero of New Orleans was arrested a month after his victory and fined s10oo
 Court orders were trivial to the iras- cible soldier. So, too, were other things when in the Seminole war he went into Spanish territory in Florida. took pos session temporarily and hanged Arbuth- not and Armister as British spies. One of them, no doubt, was guilty; the other not but Jackson saw the hand of Eng land in everything done to aid or com fort the renegade Indians.
 Jackson might be harsh and might err grievously at times, but to the people he was a glorious figure. In the presi- dential campaign of 1924 he unquestion- ably was entitled to the presidency, but by combination between Clay and John Quincy Adams Congress selected Adams when the issue was left to Congress tc decide.

Jack son, too, established batteries. In the duel between the big guns the British made a frontal attack Alas! for the trained veterans of Britain's great and victorious army.s They could not with l stand the fire of the American sharp shooters and had to retire. And when the smoke raised, after the .big guns of the batteries ceased firing, 1t was discovered that every British battery had been de- stroyed. The British had used hogsheads of sugar and hogsheads of molasses to protect the batteries. The American balls had gone through them as if they were paper and had spread the sticky mass broadcast until the men in the bat teries were fioundering, slipping and slid ding helplessly about

 l Although checked the British were not content General Sir Edward Packenham, brother-in-law of Wellington, and one of Englands great soldiers had arrived and taken command. He planned to storm the American works and while storming them to send force up the west side or the river, capture the city and attack the l Americans in the rear An excellent plan, but badly executed On January he led the storming party, while Colonel Thornton made the advance on the west ern side.
 The battle of New Orleans lasted only 25 minutes. In those 25 minutes regiment after regiment of British troops went into the jaws- of death and the jaws closed down upon them As they neared the Amreican lines the men behind the breastworks moved them down. Gallantly the British closed the gaps in their ranks, gallantly they kept on, but men could not stand before the rain of bullets that came upon them, and at last they turned and fled. Then another and an- other column advanced, but only to add | to the slaughter. Packenham fell. l General Gibbs fell Generals, colonels, majors and captains fell until there were few officers left to command the men. Of 6OOo men sent into action 700 were killed, 1400 wounded and 800 taken pris- oners And the Americans lost only eight killed and 13 wounded.
 There was only one blot on the won- derful victory. The force sent to oppose Thornton fled at the first fire Had Thornton been earlier and his force been larger he might have reached New Or | leans.
 The British were permitted to retreat to their ships without interference. Jack sons force was too small to risk an en- gagement except under conditions of his own selection He had done enough. With militamen he had defeated the conquer ors of Napoleon. He held New Orleans under martial law until he got official mo- tification of the signing of the treaty of Ghent-the treaty that was signed long
