in Hibernian Session at Chicago

Chicago, July IA strong sermon
denouncing Socialism by Bishop John
P. Carroll of Helena, Mont, was the
feature of the poening of the annual
convention of the ancient order of Hi
bernians which met here.
Socialism is the greatest danger
confronting this country said Bishop
Carroll. Every Irish soul should burn
with indignation at the proposition
that this doctrine sets forth for &C
ceptance Socialism would deprive
him of everything that any real Irish
man holds dear and would bring him
backq to conditions that existed in
Ireland a century ago.

and glorious country which we love as
we do our lives, | ask you to combat
the evils of Socialism, which would

UPPER BERTH LAW
IS HELD INVALID
Judge Stevens Decides TEST
Case for Milwaukee Road.
HOLDS ACT UNREASONABLE
Takes Property Without Compensa-
tion-Closing Of Upper Berth Does
Not Add to Comfort of Public in
General, Says Court.

Madison.-Judge E. Ray Stevens,
the upper berth law, which provides
that whenever a person shall occu-
by lower berth in sleeping car and
the upper berth of the same section
shall at the same time not be en-
gagged nor occupied the upper one
shall not be let down.
The case was that of the state
against the Milwaukee road. James
7. Hall was a passenger on a sleep
ing car of the defendant company
from Portage to Star Lake and de-
manded of the man in charge of the
car that the upper berth of the Sec
ton occupied remain closed pursu-
ant to provisions of chapter 272 laws
of 1911. The railway employe re-
fused to comply with the request.
Judge Stevens finds that the clos
ing Of upper berths has very little
effect upon the circulation of air in
sleeping cars when all lower berths
are made up and ready for occu-
pduClcS, tudI Lu0 lOWcIluS VI LuS up-
per berths does not endanger the
lives, health or safety of persons &C.
cupying lower berths; that the clos
ing of the upper berth will be a
convenience to a person occupying
the lower one and add to his COM
fort alone and not to that of the pub
lie generally; that the defendant has
the right to charge for the use of
space occupied by the upper berth
and that such right is the property
of the defendant. The court holds
that chapter 272 is not valid exer-
else of police power nor of reserve
power to alter or amend the charter
of the defendant company and is void
and of no effect because it takes the
defendants property without just
compensation and without due pro-
cess of law

HERMAN RoSENTHAL, INFoRMER
ON POLICE, is MURDERED.
Death Comes Only Few Hours Be.
fore Conference With the
District Attorney.

New York, July 17.-Herman Rosen-
thai, proprietor of gambling house
here, whose sensational charges that
the police were guilty of grating and
oppression were to be investigated
by the grand jury, was shot down and
killed in front of the Hotel Metropole
by five men who escaped in large
gray touring car. Rosenthal was
murdered only few hours before he
was to appear at the home of District
Attorney Whitman and give further
statements in an effort to substantiate
the grating charges.
Within three hours after the murder
detectives visited garage on Wash
ington square, known to the police as
the headquarters of the taxicab rob-
bers who recently robbed bank mes
sengers of $25,000 and captured a
man describing himself as Louis
Libby, whom they charged with homi-
eide. The police also recovered an
automobile that they say was the one
that figured in the murder.
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty as
serted that eye-witnesses to the MUIR
der of Rosenthal identified Libby as
one of the quintet who drove up in
front of the hotel and calling the
gambler from the dining room to the
sidewalk, shot him down with fusil-
lade of bullets and then fled in the
motor car. Rosenthal was shot five
times in the head.
Rosenthal sprang suddenly into pub
lie notice only last Friday when he
hurled bomb into police circles by
filing affidavits charging that the po-
lice were in league with the gamblers
throughout New York and that every
gambling house was being assessed a
fixed sum for police protection.

and members of the house gathered
about him, grasping his hand and
patting him on the back.
The final vote was upon the resolu-
tion offered by Senator Luke Lea of
Tennessee, declaring the Lorimer
election by the Illinois Legislature in
1909 invalid. The adoption of the
Lea resolution carried with ii the
senate's verdict that corrupt meth
DDS and practices were employed in
the election of William Lorimer"
making his election invalid. The Lea
resolution was as follows:
Resolved, that corrupt methods
and practices were employed in the
election of William Lorimer to the
senate of the United States from the
state of Illinois, and that his election
was therefore invalid
The outcome of the vote was not a
surprise, but the leaders of the fight
against him had not estimated a
greater vote than SO to 35. Lorimer
gained only one of the men who
voted against him March l, 1911--
Senator Jones of Washington-while
he lost the votes Of his associate,
Senator Cullom, and of Senators Cur
tbs of Kansas, Briggs of New Jersey,
Simmons of North Carolina and Wat
son of West Virginia.
OF the senators voting against Lor-
inner twenty-seven were republicans
and twenty-eight democrats
Lorimer's final summing up was
dramatic Fired with bitterness
against his enemies, the lllinoisan
turned a flood of invective toward his
senatorial opponents. Standing in
the center aisle, he shook his fist and
defied them to pick flaws in his eX-
PLANTATION of evidence collected
against him.
Closing, Senator Lorimer declared
that he would not resign though
every vote be against him and added,
tMy exit will not be for fear; it will
not be because l am coward. 1t
will be because of the crime of the
senate of these United States"

man, Rosenthal was about to name
gamblers who could corroborate his
assertions regarding police collision
with men of his calling.
That such a shaking up in gamb-

who might be involved was apparent,
it develops from talk among members
of inner circles" in the tenderloin
which began as soon as Rosenthals
purpose became known. Threats were
made Monday, it is declared, that

the alleged confession. During the day
three men were arrested in connection
with the murder of Rosenthal. Louis
Libbey, part owner, it is alleged of
the automobile containing the party of
men who shot the gambler dead, was
one of the trio. The police declare
they are assured he was the driver of
the motor car and have charged him
with homicide.
