him, deeming charges OF corruption
inside the party as too serious mat
ters to handy about at such an early
stage of the proceedings.
The corruption story was scoffed at
by the Roosevelt people generally.
Even a bald charge made by one of
the Taft leaders that there are sixty
eight delegates in Mississippi, Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama and Virginia
who are believed to be targets for
Roosevelt pe~rsuasions was put down
as a campaign canard.

Roosevelt booster. 'Tf there is any

GRADE LAW NOW
UP BEFORE COURT
Senator Says Veto Came Too
Late and Judges Lack
Jurisdiction.
[From a STAR correspondent.l

TRENTON, June 13.-With the en-
tire Supreme Court sittin In banc.
for the first time in several years, the
question OF whether or not the Pierce
grade-crossing bill is a law was ar
gued today. Decision was reserved.
Acknowledgement Wilson argued
the cas- on the application of the
Governor for the judicial determine
ton of the status Of the act. The
encouragement first claimed that
the act of 1878, under which the petit
ton for the determination was filed,
is constitutional, and, therefore, the
proceedings were regular. He next
argued that the proceedings did not
constitute such an invasion of the
legislative branch by the judiciary
branch as to contrayene the constttu-
tional provision that the three
branches of the government should be
separate and distinct.
The encouragement next directed
his argument to the question whether
the veto message of the Governor
was returned to the House in which
the Pierce bill originated within the
constitutional five days. This is
really the issue in the case. The at
torney-general's contention was that
the Assembly was the house of origin
of the bill which finally passed and
that the Governors veto message vas
received there within the five days
prescribed by the constitution, and
that the Senate having failed to pass
the over the veto the bill Is
not a law, Notwithstanding the pass
age by the Assembly of a resolution
declaring 1t to be a law and the filing
of the bill as a law with the secre-
tary of state.
He argued hat the five days with
In which a bill must be returned with
a veto ear five days that the Leg
islature Is actually In session, and he
quoted a decision of Justice Baldwin,
of the Connecticut Supreme Court
to sustain this point. In that State
there Is the same constitutional pro-
vision as in New Jersey except that
In Connecticut the period is three
days instead Of five.
Senator Pierce, of Union county,
the introducer Of the original bill,
argued that the bill Is a law. He
claimed the act of 1873 is void, be-
cause defective in title. and because
1t seeks to vest In the courts a duty
devolving upon the Legislature, and
he argued further that the act does
not apply to the law under consid-
Grafton. He insisted that on the
merits the bill vas duly passed and
became a law because of the failure
OF the Governor to return 1t within
the time limited by the constitution.

FAVOR OLLIE JAMES FOR
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN

NEW YORK, June ia com
promise as to the selection of chair
men for the Democratic national con-
vention seemed likely today. 1t
would make Senator Ollie James, of
Kentucky, the temporary and SEN
ator O'Gorman. of New York, he
permanent chairman.
This appeared to be the probable
solution of the contest at the conclu-
sion of long conferences among
Chairman Mack and Secretary Wood
son, of the Democratic National Com
mittee; Tammany Chief Charles F.
Murphy, state Chairman George M.
Palmer, National Committeeman
Roger Sullivan, of Illinois; John T.
McGraw, of West Virginia: e. T.
| Golteis, of Missouri; Richard T. Pet
tigrew. of South Dakota. former Sem
ator Fred T. Dubois. national CAM
paign for Speaker Clark,
and Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to
| Governor Wilson.
Mr.. Tumulty offered no protes:
against James, but made anxious
queries as to how formidable was the
strength behind the Kentucky ena
tor. Chairman Mack replied he a
refused to take sides in the dispute.
and that 1t was up to the sub-com-
mittee and finally to the national man
mittee to determine who should be
the temporary presiding officer.
Tumulty soon ascertained from
former Senator Dubois, national man
ager for Speaker Clark, that all but
enough votes had been pledged to
James to insure his selection. So after
a few hours visit Tumulty returned
to Trenton to report to his chief.
Secretary Woodson urged the
choice of Senator James for tenn
mer first insisted on O'Gorman. The
names of Senator Kern. of Indiana;
Alton b. Parker and William Sulzer,
of New York, also were suggested.
Roger Sullivan urged that IL I'LL
nois was to have the naming of the
temporary chairman the delegation
from there would support James
Hamilton Lewis.
When Chairman Mack started for
Baltimore ii was with the I'M
derstanding that If Ollie James
were to be temporary, Senator O'Gor-
man would be permanent chairman.
| Whether the selection of Senator
James is approved will develop at the
| subcommittee meeting called for
June 20.
The committee itself chooses the
permanent chairman and friends of
Senator O'Gorman are satisfied he
will not be refused the honor.
Mr.. Murphy seemed provoked at a
story In a morning newspaper hat
he had made up his mind to appro-
pirate the New York national COM
mitteeship and try to head the ma
tional committee.
There is absolutely no truth in
this" he said. II am not a candi-
date for either place."

ments on these cases collectively was
then begun.
At the outset Dean E. Ryman, at
torney for the Roosevelt contestants,
said it would be shown that no con-
ventions were held in these districts
at which Taft delegates were regu-
larly elected.
Mr.. Ryman declared the white vot-
ers in the districts refused to allow
negro voters to participate in any
conventions, that as showing" the
prejudice against negro voters 1t need
be said only that in one year in Lin
coin county alone 1876 men we're In
dicted for participating in lynch
ings."
THE Roosevelt Republicans deter
mined to give the negroes a chance,
and we came here with delegates
regularly elected on this basis" he
said.

He asked the committee to reopen

gates t-large. decided yesterday In
favor of the Taft contestants. The
committee, however. took no action
on the suggestion.

night 1t was the determination to

Charges of Fraud Made.
The Roosevelt supporters worked
late into the night in an effort to Sc
lect a candidate for temporary chair
a orders having come from Oyster
Bay. Dickers with the La Toilette
men failed. Meantime assurances
have come from Oyster Bay that Col
onel Roosevelt will be here by Mon
day at the latest.
Director Mckinley, of the Taft
forces, charges that a plan Is on foot
to buy the nomination for Roosevelt.
Instantly Senator Dixon. for Roose-
welt, declared the charge "a common,
ordinary, cheap, ineffective campaign
lie." ,
Ten minutes later Henry W. Coe'
chairman of the Oregon Roosevelt
League, announced that n delegate
from the Webfoot State had been
promised ten convention tickets quot
ed at 500 and a good government job
If he would give his vote to Taft.
Then charges and counter-charges
flew thick and fast.
The Mckinley statement was sup
pressed for a change shortly after it
went forth.
The original statement, after charg-
ing that money had been sent by tele-
graph to two Taft delegates, con-
tanned this addition:
Following which these two dele
gates changed their allegiance from
Taft to Roosevelt in a statement is
sued by Senator Joseph M. Dixon,
Mr.. Roosevelt's national campaign
manager"
Mr.. Mckinley evidently considered
this passage a little too rough. for
