.COSsONANDTHORNE
In q Bitter Row As To Which
Is The Boss
THoRNE QUITS RATE FIGHT
Attorney General Says Thorne Tried
to Eliminate Department Of just.
Ice From Taking Part In
Express Rate Cases.

Des Moines, April 27.-Attorney
General Cosson and Railroad Com.
missioner Thorne are in bitter con.
troversy over who shall act as legal
counsel in the express rate injunc-
ton cases.
Attorney General Cosson holds
that the law makes 1t his duty to act
while Commissioner Thorne says that
a resolution passed by the commits
sion made him the boss of the job.
The question at issue is not SO
much who shall boss the defense as
it is the alleged attempt of Commits
sioner Thorne to eliminate the de-
partment of justice from the case, SO
friends of Mr.. Cosson say.
Commissioner Thorne has attempt
ed to withdraw from the case.
Attorney General Cosson has put
it up to the railroad commissioner,
to either resign his position or get
busy and do the work assigned to
him in the express rate cases. He
says that Commissioner Thorne can
not withdraw from the case without
resigning his position.
Attorney General Cosson issued
statement making 1t very clear that
Commissioner Thorne cannot, under
the provisions of the law, evade re-
sponsibility in the hearing without
resigning.
Attorney General Cosson show
very clearly that Commissioner
Thorne overstepped his authority In
these cases, that he took legal steps
affecting the cases without in any
way consulting either his colleagues
on the board or the state department.
of justice. He also shows that the
department of justice Is compelled
by law to act for every state, judicial
and administrative official whose rul-
ings are attacked in the courts. Be-
cause of this law the attorney gen.
eral cannot step aside. He says it Is
not a question of who is going to
boss the job so much as it is ques-
tion of the attempt of Commissioners
Thorne to entirely eleminate the de-
partment Of justice from the cases.

his home Sunday which cost him the
sight of his right eye.

endeavOring to pump air in it with a
bicycle pump when the bottle burst,
the pieces flew in all directions, one
large piece striking him in the right
eye, cutting the evehall, very badly
and running the sight.
DR.. r. NJ. Hoffman, of Toms Brook,
rendered medical aid, and Sunday af-
ternoon he was taken to the Winches-
ter Memorial Hospital, in DR. Shoots
