a hearing in the state supreme court
on the matter of the extension of the
Sullivan County Railroad. part of the
Boston & Maine system. The court was
unable 10 decide on the question of the

Expert Reports Discovery
Of No Traces Of Poison.
Few Facts TO Support States
Charge Of wife Murder.
The Counsel for Sohelb Protesting
Against His Being neld Further.

New York, June 6.-Few, il any new
facts of Importance. to substantiate the
states charge of wife murder against
Henry A. Scheib, were brought out in
the examination of dozen witnesses
for the prosecution as Scheib,s exam
ination today. Indeed the chief develop
ment of the day. the preliminary oral
report of Prof. John Larkin of Column
bia University TO the effect that he had
been unable TO find any traces of poison
in the internal organs of the victim of
the bath tub mystery was of a nature
to crafty counsel for the accused.
While 1t has not been specifically al
legged in what manner Seheib's wife
came TO her death. it is understood that
the prosecution intended to make out a
case of poisoning. as the body found in
a bath tub in the Seheib apartment a
week ago was too badly decomposed to
determine whether the woman had been
killed by stabbing or blow from some
instrument. Prof. Larkin said he want
ed more time TO examine the liquid
in which the body was found. but he
held out no hope of reporting anything
of significance. The coroners physician
who performed an autopsy could only
contribute the opinion that the woman
had been dead for at least four months
and the tenants of the building which
the Scheibs formerly occupied. were
called to corroborate this opinion on the
strength of odors which they had no
ticed two or three months back
The Identification of the body as that
of Mrs. Scheib was testified TO by a
dentist who had done work for the wo.
man and who examined the body at the
morgue. With the case resting on this
uncertain basis, and with counsel fol
Scheib protesting against his being held
further, adjournment of the examination
was taken. until Friday and the prisoner
is meanwhile held in the Tombs.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.
Corrections in Tobacco Case Decision
Causes Groundless Rumors.

Washington. June 6-Correotion of sew
eral obvious typogra phical errors in the
printed copies of the decision of the SUI
preme court in the Tobacco case has
given rise to groundless rumors that the
court changed its mind at the 18th hour.
1t was announced today that the changes
were made TO make the copies comply
with the official opinion of the court. The
errors were discovered by Chief Justice
White when he compared the printed cop
les with the original opinion.
The first of these errors related to the
word reasonable in a sentence explain
ing what the Standard Oil decision held.
As corrected the sentence reads:
I'm other words, it was held not that
acts which the statute prohibited could
be removed from the control of it's prohi-
billions by a finding that they were
REASONABLE, but that the duty to in
terpret which inevitably arose from the
general character of the term restraint
of trade required that the words restrain
which would not destroy the individual
right to contract and render difficult, II
not impossible. any movement of trade
in the channels of interstate commerce
the free movement of which it was the
purpose of the statute to protect"
Other mistakes. likewise patent were
corrected. such as the changing of the
words $50, to to- in one place in the
opinion and the striking out of such
words as giving them where their
presence destroyed the meaning of sen,
tence.

House Votes to Unite Chelsea to 6os-
ton-A Veto Sustained.

Boston. June 6.-The House today pass
ed the bill to unite Chelsea to Boston. the
vote on the measure being 12O to 49, Inc
rent action. If this bill is passed by the
upper branch of the Legislature and
signed by Governor Foss. it will be voted
upon by the voters of Chelsea at the
next election. This is the second an
nexation will that the House has acted
upon recently, the other municipality be-
ing Hyde Park. Both the Senate and
House voted TO annex Hyde Park to Bos-
ton and the bill has been signed by Gov,
Foss.
The veto of Governor Foss on the So
called Peaceful Persuasion bill was sus-
tanned late today by the House. The bin
prescribed certain conditions under
which strikers were to be permitted TO
approach prospective breakers on
the streets and endeavor to dissuade
them from going to work.
Believing that 126 square feet TO a per-
son is too much room, Gov. Foss today
sent to the Legislature his 51st message
which related TO the utilization of floor
space in the State House At the present
time number of commissions are oblig-
ed to hire office space outside of the
State House because of the space given
to the other commissions. Gov. Foss is
OF the opinion that this expenditure of
money in hiring office room is unnecessa-
ry and can be averted by limiting the
floor space of the commissions in the
state House now.

If it could become law it would

The bin is not drawn on lines for

that with a duty of 20 per cent. on

is too low to enable our manufacture

Intricate and directly involves the

Without any hearing or new data,

the House at the mandate of politi-
cal caucus. There can be no expecta-
ton that 1t will pass the other House

The minority report charges that the
Democrats give the need for revenue
as the real reason for the Introduction
OF the measure. II charaeterizes the
Democratic statements with regard to

solutely false and presents treasury

The report deals at some length with
the attitude of the administration in

this situation must be considered with
reference to the viewpoint of the
PRESIDENT concerning tariff legislation.
1T is therefore not impossible that
there may be some such delay in the
communication to the Congress of sta

ternoon made a speech in opposition TO
reciprocity treaty relations with Canada.
He said in part:
1--WE are not getting a square deal from
the newspaper publishers. Look at the
Mcnamara case. Whether the man is
guilty or not. we condemn the governor
and officials in kidnapping him.
Now as to reciprocity: We believe it
to be detrimental. First, it is not a fair
proposition. The Canadian government
refuses to permit corporations to ship
timber off the crown lands for the man
ufacture of pulp: the pulp must be made
in Canada. And so We are opposed. II
the bill passes, towns similar to MILF
nocket in Maine will be wiped out.
The paper mill workers in New Eng
land and New York state have an S-hour
day and make 80 per cent. more in wages
than those in Canada. This means, if
the bill prevails that the mills will be
transported to Canada"
A delegate asked: us the Information

Yes"
Mr. Malin concluded with denuneia-
ton of corporations and asked that reci-
procity be opposed or at least that por-
ton which appertains TO the pulp ques-
ton.
