SELECTIONS OF NATIONAL CON.
vENTlON CITY AND CHAIRMAN
TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION.
DEMOCRATS ALSO TO MEET SOON
Progressives Urge Presidential Pri.
maries Before Convention to AS
certain Preference as to
Nominee.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The issuance
of the call for the meeting of the Re-
publican national committee in Wash
ington on Dec. - precipitates discus
sion of the next presidential campaign
and, first of all, the selection of the
convention city. 1t is expected that
the call for the meeting of the Demo.
cratic national committee will be is.
sued soon and that committee also will
meet in Washington in December.
The selection of the national cam
paign chairman and the influence of
politics in different sections OF the
country upon the choice of the con-
vention city will be discussed by the
Republicans. Chicago, St. Louis, Buff
falo and Philadelphia are in the field
to entertain the national convention.
President Taft's popularity and the
strength he has among the business
men of st. Louis gives that city con.
siderable prestige in the race for cap
turing the convention. 1t is believed
the Democrats will hold their conven-
; ton in Chicago, and that they will en-
deavor to gain favor among the in
surgent opponents of President Taft
in the states of the Northwest.
Urges Presidential Primaries.
The National Progressive Republi.
can league has issued from it's head.
quarters here an open letter asking
the committee to put in the call for
the national convention suggestion
to the Republicans of the different
states that the state committees call
presidential primaries thirty days be.
fore the Republican national conven-
ton to obtain expressions in each OF
the states as to the nominee of the
| convention.
| 1t is believed the chairman of the
Republican national committee for the
next campaign will be selected at the
| December meeting. Much will depend
upon the wishes of the nominee of the
convention. and, while it is generally
nominated, it often is regarded wise to
await the result of the convention be-
; fore organizing for the campaign.
Since the entry of Chairman Hitch
cock of the last campaign into the
cabinet as postmaster general, tbs
craftsmanship has been filled by Johr
F. Hill of Maine. The two names now
most frequently mentioned here in con
nection with Craftsmanship for the
campaign are Secretary to the Presi
dent Hilles and Collector of Customs
Loeb, who was secretary to President
Roosevelt. The impression is becom
ing general here that Hill may be Sc

Ohio Road; Scope of Act
and History of Case.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-"The hours
OF service law for railroad employees.
| passed by congress in 1907, was upheld
| today as constitutional by the supreme
court OF the United States. The decision
was announced by Justice Hughes in the
test case instituted by the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad company. The decision OF
| the court was unanimous
Justice Hughes said the words Of the
statute were plain that only persons en-
state carriers were affected by the
| statute.
Because the interstate employees some
| times engage In intrastat business did
not defeat the law, he added.
The act made 1t unlawful for any COM
mon carrier engaged in Interstate COM
merce to permit any trainman subject to
the act to remain on duty for longer
period than sixteen consecutive hours. OF
any telegraph operator more than nine or
telegraph 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 unconstitutional
on the ground that II applied TO intra-
state as well as TO interstate railroads
and employees. The order by which the
interstate commerce commission placed
the law into operation was attacked also
The railroad claimed that congress could
not and did not attempt to delegate to
the commission the power to require re-
ports OF violation OF the law; that the
labor and expense necessary to make the
reports constituted a taking OF the rail-
roads property without due process OF
law and therefore in violation of the
constitution, and that IL compelled sell

Of the railroad. also in violation OF the

Misconduct Alleged.
II was contended by counsel for the

declares, however, that he is OF the
opinion that the defendant was properly
convicted Of murder in the first DECREE
the recommendation OF the jury. the ver-
dict finding Thorne guilty should not be
disturbed.
Concurring Opinion.
The opinion affirming the Judgment Of
the district court In the case Of Riley IL
written by Justice Mccarty. and con-
CURED In by Chief Justice Frtck and Jus
uce Straup. the latter writing a sepa-
rate concurring opinion.
The first error eontended for by is,, Riisy
the the jury was s'' impaneied " Twelve
jurors were first called and sworn
and, examined as to their quail
fications to serve as jurors. Some
OF these jurors were excused for cause.
The defendant then demanded that be-
fore he should be required TO exercise
peremptory challenges as to the jurors
called TO take the place Of those who
were excused. The court ruled that both
the state and the defendant must e1-
ercise or waive their right to peremp-
| torily challenge. the jurors remaining In
the box and those not challenged should
be sworn 10 try the case before any ad-
dltiona1 jurors should be called to take
the place OF those challenged and ex-
cused. or the twelve jufors first drawn
! eleven were either excused for cause or
| challenged peremptorlly, and one was ac-
cepted and sworn to try the case. This
process was repeated until the panel was
| completed. This, counsel contended. was
! error The supreme court however.
| holds that the court followed the rule
| laid down under statute from which
| the Utah laws are copied and thai no err
ror was committed.
Another Alleged Error.
| II also was alleged that the court erred
| in refusing the defendants motion for a
change of venue the ground that he
did not believe he could have fair
and impartial trial because Of prejudice
| existing among the people. The confes
| sions. printed by a morning newspaper
which was held In contempt OF court for
| so publishing. was mentioned in this mo-
| ton. The supreme court, however. thinks
that the examination Of the jurors shows
| conclusiyely that the public sentiment
was not such TO prevent him from
| having had fair and impartial trial.
| The refusal OF new trial also was
| cited by counsel for the defendant, which
was moved for on the ground that the
| jury misconducted itself in receiving evil
dence out Of court This was in refer
ence to certain exhibits taken TO the
iuryroom. However. the supreme court
holds that While this was irregular the
defendant was not prejudiced. Justice
Straup especially emphasizes this fact in
his separate concurring opinion.
