Brief Drafted by Harmon.

The three governors were empowered TO
act as a committee on state rights at tie
conference of governors at Spring Lake,
y. Y, last September, and were then au-
thoTized to seek to intervene in the Min
ncsOta rate case.
The controversy in the courts. accord
ing to the brief which was drafted by
Gov. Harmon, and which was immediate
fy filed with the clerk of the court, in
volved no conflict between the states and
the federal authority. but the more eX-
traordinary question of whether railroad
rights supersede and dominate state
rights.
The decision of Judge Sanborn. the
brief contends took the power of states
to regulate railroads from the states and
left the railroads free to charge whatever
rates they please in their traffic within
the states. He took the stand that If a
state cannot regulate the railroads within
its borders then there was no power to
regulate them at all.
The appealed case grew out ot that of
Shepard versus Simpson. in which the
Minnesota railroad rate regulations, par
ticularly the tWo-cent a mile passenger
rate law, were attacked as confiscatory.
Local Rates Held Unlawful.
Judge Walter Sanborn. who heard the
case in the federal court. held that ex-
ercise OF the right of states to regu-
late railroad rates may be enjoined by
the courts because of the actual or prob
abe effect which il may be shown to
have on interstate commerce through the
operation on those engaged therein of
conditions of competition, location of
commercial centers and railroad lines.
and OF what were called business neces-
sities- The local rates fixed by that
state were held unlawful and enjoined
because the court found that because OF
them carriers would have to change eX-
listing interstate rates. The states regu-
latiOn of its own internal commerce was
for this reason he'd to be, in effect, a
regulation of interstate rates.
Ii is not held in the Minnesota case
that the law passed or the order OF
the railroad board made FOR the purpose
OF regulating interstate commerce. ac-
cording to the brief, but only that they
are invalid because of their effects on
such commerce.
The brief declared the right of state
regulation extends to every business con-
Quoted within its borders. although such
business may also extend into interstate
commerce.

RAGTIME RHYME

A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men.
So wrote the poet long ago,
And even now the same is so.
a poet niignt be something worse,
SO why i.Ct write it down in verse.
A little poem now and then,
Is hardly ever read by men.
The most they give il is q stare,
As simple brainStorm or hot air.
But youths ard misses just from school,
And married ladies' as rule,
They read the gentle poets rhymes, :.
And somestimes read them several
times.
The printer hardly cares to see
A rhyme like this or parody.
He hates to set it up at all,
Because the nonpareil is small.
It's hard for him to see the point,
And gets his language out of joint.
But when the Thatcher items fail
To show up in the Thursday mail,
Or when the news is somewhat scant
Frem Grand Reef precinct or Fort
Grant,
Why, then poem clears his face,
Because, you see, it fills up space.
To write such verses isn't hard, !,
Most anyone can ee Q bard.
You take your pencil in your hand,
And then sit down, or else you stand
Ard rest your paper on the wall,
And then just write it that IS all.
You couldn't hardly make miss
In writing items up like this;
The country schools have all begun,
The small boys summer race is run;
No more is he baseball fan "
But wishes that he were a man.
We hear the old mill whistle blow
1t tells the time correct you know.
You do not need to walk block
To get the time to set your clock.
OF course the curfew rings at nine
1t used to ring in Cromwell's time,
When Bessie climbed the belfry tau
And would not let it ring at all.
Wintry weather, too, has come;
Puts fellow on the bum.
Makes him wish for summer skies,
Bugs and bees and big green flies.
Wonder why good things can't last;
When the ccld air stings like that,
MdhcS Co WoiluSi WASAO W. ~ oS'
We get up early five o'clock,
Hunting for kindling block.
The woodbox empty who's to blame?
Bet ] know the fellows name.
Might as well be brave and bold;
Say! This kitchen floor is cold.
Fire acting mighty mean;
Where's that can of kerosene?
- fa
Therei it's started; that much done,
Get up Jane! The kettles on.
Baby crying, drat the boy!
No, he's papa's precious joy.
Plaything's scattered DER the floor;
What's the ailment Of this door?
Look outside, the ground is white,
Gee we had frost last night.

Mrs. Florence CetrianO
Is Now at City
Hospital.
HUSBAND MISSING;
ELUDES POLICE
Blood Covered Hammer
Found Nearby in
House.

Mrs. Florence Cetriano, As years old,
lies at the City Hospital today with
fracture Il the base of her skull, her
jaws broken, many scalp wounds and
her body a mass of bruiser. the result
of q most brutal and fiendish attack,
the police say, by her husband, An
tonino. A hammer covered with blood
was found in the house.
What could have caused the attack
is a mystery to the police. Two sons
and two daughters who sleep in ad-
joining rooms declare they did not
hear a quarrel and did not even hear
their mother call until their father had
left the house. The police who were
called to the scene of this savage at
tack ON the woman, who WIS in bed,
have been Unable TO find the husband
Last night, as usual, the family re-
tired about 10 o'clock. One of the boys
lay awake reading and says that, per-
haps, an hour later he fell asleep.
There was a light burning in his room.
The people in the tenement We're awak-
ened with S1rieks and man believing
a murder was being committed rushed
to the Second Precinct police station.
Patrolmen Weidman, Carl Widman,
Keller, Ahearn, Burke and Roundsman
Ryan were dispatched to the house.
When they arrived they found the
woman unconscious and sent her to
the City Hospital. Here the physicians
Immediately gave out that the life OF
the woman was in danger and that the
police should take immediate action.
A search of the neighborhood was
made but no trace of the alleged crimi-
nal could be found Today Plainclothes-
men Goodwin and Norton were as
signed to the case by Captain Brown.
They learned that Cetriano after that
time went to the saloon of his brother
in-law. Generasso Caprio, IL Boyden
street and asked for a. glass of whis-
key. This devoured he asked for chew
of tobacco, and then demanded that
Caprio go to the street, where he
wished to talk with him. On the out
side Cetriano asked for the loan of a
dollar. This was refused.
Two men were in the saloon at the
time Cetriano entered. They knew that
he had had some trouble with young
man that was paying attention to one
of his daughters, and on account of
his pallid face thought he might have
had some trouble. When he left An
thony Corbo. deputy sheriff. and AS
sunolo Delgressio followed him. He
walked up Boyden street and over the
Lackawanna railroad bridge Here
they say he exclaimed in italian in
loud tone, would that all were over

An investigation into the home life
of the man has disclosed that on num-
erous occasions he has quarreled with
his wife. The children informed the
police that he had several times threat
ened their mother when she had ac-
cused him of being intimate with other
women. The boys told the police that
they had seen their father with women
OF bad repute. The man has been Ill
and acting strangely for short time.

C.. S. LAW TO
BE TESTED IN
COUNTY JOBS

IN regard to the contested county
service cases a conference was held
this morning between Frank H. Som
mer, Theodore d. Gottlieb and Alonzo
Church, counsel for the present in
cumbents. and Benjamin F. Jones,
counsel for the contestants. It was
agreed that the important question to
be considered is whether or not the
Strong act supersedes the civil service
act in Essex. With that end In view
counsel have agreed to make a test
case in the Walker matter and press
this to a speedy conclusion.
The other cases are to be prepared
for trial, and, If necessary. brought
afterward. II the court should hold
that the Strong act supersedes the civil
service act, all the questions will be de-
elded in the one case and the other
cases will by stipulation follow this de-
otsion. Counsel are entirely harmo-
nious in the matter and say any re-
ports of physical force or intent to use
physical force are absolutely without
foundation.
Further than this, counsel are un-
willing to make any statement as
further proceedings will be in court.
The conference, which resulted in the
issuance of this statement, was q con-
tinuation of conferences that have been
held beginning even before the action
taken by the Board of Freeholders At
none was there any suggestion of the
use of force, either in obtaining pos
session of the offices or positions, or
retaining possession thereof
