Santa Fe, N. NJ, March 25.-With
unlmportant shifts among the leaders
in today's senatorial ballot discussion
in legislative circles increased as to
the possibility of the deadlock being
broken by the election of two dark
horses. In this connection the names
of National Committeeman Solomon
Luna and Charles Springer were men
toned prominently, although neither
appeared in the voting.
Mills loss was due to voting for
favorite sons. He can command his
full strength at any time.
In todays ballot, the sixth, T. B.
Catron gained five votes and w. H.
Andrews gained one, while A. B. Fall
and w. j. Mills dropped below Sat
urdayss vote. The progressive re-
publicans today combined on Herbert
J. Hagerman and William H. Glen
water.
Discussion of a combination of
democrats and progressive republi.
cans to break the senatorial deadlock
continued today The suggestion was
made that they throw their strength
to one of the leading republican can
didates in return for support in elect
ing the second senator. However, it
was stated positively that none of
the republican candidates was in
position to deliver his full strength to
another candidate. 1t was doubtful
also If the democrats and progressives
could agree as to theff candidate, the
general opinion being that the demo
Gratis would insists on seIix Martinez
and the progressives on w. H. Gillen-
water of Albuquerque.
The house this morning passed a.
bill for the payment of members. en-
ployes, the lieutenant governor and
mileage. The total amount of the
appropriation is $57,255.40, or so
much as may be needed. This provides
for an average expense OF $5S9 daily.
The senate will take the measure up
late this afternoon. The provisions
of the bill are within the constitution
al requirements. thereby carrying out
the statements made that the repub-
Iican conference of last week was for
the purpose of fixing salaries.
An important bill introduced in the
senate today was an act by Evans de-
fining pandering, and imposing
penalty of not less than five years
for anyone convicted of white slave
traffic. This act is similar to those
which are now in force in many
states. 1t makes it felony for any
person to induce female to enter a
house of prostitution. for any person

A BANK
THEY MURDER TWO employees

DEADLY EFFECT WHEN RE-
sIsTANcE is OFFERED

Paris, March 25.-The automobile
bandits who in February terrorized
many districts of France by carrying
out an extraordinary series of crimes
have perpertated during the last few
days other daring crimes which reach
ed their climax this morning in a
murder on the public highway be-
tween Villeneuve1St. George and Pa
ris. A gang of four bandits who oc-
cupied an automobile ordered the
chauffeur of a private motor car to
stop. When the chauffeur refused the
highwaymen shot him dead and
wounded the occupant Of the car.
After throwing the body of the
chauffeur into ditch the bandits en-
tered the automobile and drove to-
wards Paris. Brigands, bearing all
the appearances of being the authors
of this mornings holdup, arrived in
an automobile at Chantilly, the rae
ing center. Four Of the men, armed
with revolvers, entered the branch of
a Paris bank, where they shot the
cashier and another employe dead.
wounded a third man,
and escaped with $4,000 in notes.
A fifth bandit in the meantime kept
guard at the door of the bank with
a loaded carbine while a sixth sat
ready at the steering wheel of the
motor car waiting to start Immediate
y after the robbery had been accom-
plished The murderer dashed out,
jumped in the motor and started at
iull speed toward Paris.
An alarm was raised but pursuit
was prevented by the bandits with re-
volver shots. They abandoned the
which later was discover

that his clients we're victims of a
colossal Misunderstanding Delancey
Nicoll, counsel for the defendants in
the government suit against Washing
ton b. Thomas, John e. Parsons and
Others of the American Sugar Refin-
ing company today asked Judge
Hand in the federal court to instruct
the jury to retuinsa verdict of not
guilty
Mr.. Nicoll asserted that the mono
polistic counts in indictments are un-
founded because the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining company was not. at
the time of the Segal loan, nor after
wards. in the position of competitor
of the American company"
Mr.. Nicoll declared that Segal was
in desperate straits at the time of the
loan and at no time was he able to
operate the Pennsylvania plant at a
sufficient profit to allow him to pay
back the loan.
The indictment states that Segal
was kept in debt as part Of the CON
spiracy so the defendants could get
control of his refinery" said Mr.
Nicoll Now | ask the court if there
is any evidence to show that Segal
was kept in debt"
Il confess I see none." said Judge

Late this afternoon President
John P. White informed the union
district presidents who came from
bituminous as well as anthracite sec
tions, that the situation was critical
SO far as the miners were concerned
but he hoped some means of avert
ing strike or even a prolonged sus-
pension after April |, would be de-
vised.
Regarding the 175,OOO anthracite
miners, Mr.. White said the situation
clearly was that no settlement was
in sight, but the adjournment of the
bituminous coal conference until to-
morrow leaves hope that the $4,000
bituminous miners may reach an
agreement. If they do not. the union
officials pointed out, the recommenda-
Lions concerning both the anthracite

BROAD DOCTRINE LATDIDOWN
ROADS MAKING LOW STATE
RATES MUST ALSO PROVIDE
Low INTERSTATE TARIFFS
Discrimination is CHARGED
STATE AND INTERSTATE HAuLs
BOTH AFFECTED BY RECENT
DECISIONS

Washington, March 25.-Resor to
the courts probably will be made at
once for a review Of the decision OF
the interstate commerce commission
announced recently in the Texas
Louisiana rate case The commission
laid down the broad doctrine that in
terstate railroads which put into force
low state rates must adopt equally
low interstate rates for traffic NOV.
ing under similar conditions.
1t is generally believed that the
cases ultimately will be taisen to the
supreme court of the United States
for final adjudication on the pos
session of power claimed by the COM
mission. Probably the most bitter
fight in the courts will be over the
section of the opinion which gave a
new Interpretation to what is called
undue discrimination" under the in.
terstate commerce law. The commits
sion held that the proposition against
undue discrimination in favor Of one
locality implies not only as to two in
terstate hauls but also as to two
hauls, one of which may be interstate
and the other intrastate
The commission said the fact thai
the carriers rates in the latter case
are established by a state commission
does not relieve the carrier of the
duty, which rests on it, irrespective
Of its obligation to the state, to ad-
Just its rates so that as to interstate
traffic justice will be done between
regardless of state lines.
Attention was directed to that por-
tion of the opinion dealing with the
attitude of the railroads toward the |
ow state rates, adopted by order of |
The Texas commission. On this sub |
ect the interstate commerce commits |
sion said, they appealed to no court |
or relief, nor to this commission"
BY some this has been taken as a |
clear intimation by the commission
hat it possesses the power to pass
IN the reasonableness of state rates
IN interstate railroads.
