and great force the President points out
the perils which lie in the proposed refer

rate possibly composed Of an actual minor

ticians and corrupt interests. He strips
behalf OF the recall the specious strength
which has been given to them by the
eloquence of enthusiastic and adroit ad-
vocates and shows the scheme In all its
crudity of experiment and its subtility Of
danger.

an objection which does not lie against
the latter. At the same time IN effort
was made In this resolution to quiet ap-
prehension on the score of the judicial
recall by proposing q submission OF the
question to a popular election after the
advancement Of the territory to state

cajoled into neglecting a duty which his

Some highly novel truth.

Washington, May 29.-For the first

ia said the deficit in the postoffice de-
partment has been entirely wiped out
and 81 100000 surplus for the current
fiscal year ending June 80 next, is
In the treasury to the departments

Postmaster General Hitchcock last
night signed warrant returning to
the secretary of the treasury $3000,-
900, the last of the amount set apart
from the public funds to assist in
defraying the expenses Of the postal
service for the present fiscal years.
Reforms in the financial system, 1t
is stated, have made the refund possi-
BILE. An accounting plan, which was
adopted about year ago insures the

ice. IS
In making the refund to the treas
ury Mr.. Hitchcock said he was satis-
fed that the postal revenues would
be more than sufficient to defray the

would show a surplus considerably
over $1,O0O,000.

Supreme Court of the United
States Upheld the Same
in Opinion
ATTACK MADE ON APPLICATION
TO INTERSTATE COMMERCE
Trainmen Cannot Remain ON Duty
More Than Sixteen Consecutive
Hours, Nor Telegraph Operators
More Than Nine or Thirteen Hours.

Washington, May 29-The hours Of
service law for railroad employees,
passed by congress in 1907, was up
held today as constitutional by the
supreme court OF the United States.
This decision was announced by JUS
ttce Hughes in the test case institut-
ed by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
company.
The act made it unlawful for any
common carrier engaged in interstate
commerce to permit any trainman
subject to the act to remain on duty
for a longer period than sixteen con-
secutive hours, or any telegraph op-
orator more than nine or thirteen
hours, according to the time the tele-
graph station was opened for busi-
ness. The act also created periods Of
rest for the employees.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad COM
pany attacked the law as unconsti-
tutional on the ground that it applied
to intra-state as we'll as to interstate
railroads and employees. The order
by which the interstate commerce
commission placed the law into op-
Grafton was attacked also. The rail-
road claimed that congress could not
and did not attempt to delegate to
the commission the power to require
reports Of violation of the law; that
the labor and expense necessary to
make the reports constituted tax
ing Of the railroads property without
due process of law and therefore In
violation Of the constitution: and that
it compelled self incrimination by Of
ficers and employees Of the railroad,
also in violation of the constitution.
The objections to the law were met
with denials by the government Both
the law itself and the order, drafted
by the interstate commerce commits
sion. were upheld as constitutional
by the circuit court Of the United
States for the district of Maryland,
where the case originated.
