IMPORTANT CASE UP.
Supreme Court Considers Eligibility
of Eight Kansas Electors.

New York.-The Kansas primary
election case, which involves a
unique point of great Importance in
the machinery of the national cleo
tion, was laid before the justices of
the supreme court here Thursday.
Directly or indirectly the decision
of these justices will settle whether
eight candidates for presidential
electors who have declared they will
vote in the electoral college for
Theodore Roosevelt, may have their
names on the ballot submitted to the
people of Kansas at the republican
party election on August 6. Emer-
gency action by the court was neces-
sary so that the primary ballots
might be printed in time for the cleo
tion.
The plaintiffs are the Kansas Taft
leaders, and the action, which takeks
the form of application for a writ of
error, is contested by several attor-
neys representing the Roosevelt par
ty, including l.. w. Keplinger of To-
pekak. Representative Olmstead of
Pennsylvania appears for the appli-
cants.
The question at issue is a broad
one. The Taft leaders declare the
eight electors they are trying to keep
off the ticket we're designated with
the understanding that they should
abide by the decision of the republi-
can national convention and that if
the state primary elected them the
result would be contrary to the four.
teenth amendment of the federal con
stitution, which forbids any state to
interfere with the freedom. and priv
ileges of citizens of the United
States.
The Roosevelt people contend the
voters of Kansas should have the
right of referendum on the decision
of the national convention. The
Kansas law is the only one which
would permit such referendum.
The supreme court of Kansas, to
which the petition was first submit
ted, held that regardless of the truth
of the charges of fraud and misrep-
resentation made against the eight
Roosevelt electors, it had no power
to grant the relief the Taft people
asked for.

$2,4OO,OOO ANNUAL TRIBUTE.
Combine" Said to Collect Vast Sums
for Protection.

New York.--The statement of
Rose. informer in the Rosenthal MUIR
der case, that an annual tribute of
50. 100000 has been exacted by the
police from the gamblers and others
for protection" is not considered
extravagant by many of those famil-
lar with conditions in the underworld
of New York city.
AS a matter of fact, the amount
given is nearly 100000 a year less
than was collected some IL years
ago, according to an alleged exposure
of the gambling situation published
by New York newspaper in March,
1900. This article, which created a
great sensation at the time, alleged
that $685. 900 was the yearly tri-
butte of keepers of gambling houses
to the police and other powers of the
city for protection"
The article and its assertions that
men high in the counsels of Tam
many Hall' had been receiving
money from the gambling combine,
led to the appointment of a commit
tee of five, of which Lewis Nixon was
chairman, to investigate the truth of
the charges. In his official report
Nixon said:
There is an organization of men
known as the combine that is or
ganized for systematic blackmail,
and they cloak their workings by
pretending to be paying Tammany all
the money they collect for the pro-
lection which they are supposed to
furnish in it's name.
THE men who wish to open places
know whom to see, and having found
that certain men who act in defiance
of the combines orders are given
short shrift, are naturally inclined
to believe that these men do collect
this money on account of Tamany
Hall and that if matters reach a eli
max this organization will protect
them. This accounts for the almost
defiant attitude of the gamblers"
According to one authority, the
amount collected in 1899 by the COM
bine was as follows:
Four hundred pool rooms, $500
each month, 81 100000.
Five hundred crap games, $3.50
each a month, 100000.
Two hundred gambling houses
$3.50 each a month, $36O,OOO.
Twenty large gambling houses
$1,000 each a month, $4,000.
Fifty envelope games, $50 each a
month, 100000.
Policy, a year, 1925, 900.
Total, $3,095, 900.

five seasons, fell from the bar of his
parachute and was dashed to death
1900 feet below.
MoOre's home was in Jacksonville,
Fla. For five summers he has done
drops at the park. He was twenty-five
years old and was unmarried. The
holiday crowd at the park broke all
records, and when in the middle Of
the afternoon Moore and his partner,
William c. Gillen, Of Harrison, step
ped into the balloon which was to
take them up, the feature of the day
began.
Moore stayed in the balloon until he
reached a height OF about $500 feet
He was scheduled to make a triple
drop. There were three parachutes
on his bar. and he was to open one,
sail on that some distance. cut it loose,
sail with another cut it loose, AMI

The string of parachutes was cut
loose, with Moore sitting on the bar.
The second parachute had opened up
and he was sailing downwards nicely,
when suddenly he pitched backwards
from the bar and fell headlong.
The spectators in the park watched
silently for the moment that it took
him to reach the ground and then
went into a panic The body struck
the ground about half a mile from the
park and within 200 feet of where
GilIen had just landed safely. Hun
dreds Of spectators rushed to the spot
Of the landing Every bone in Moore's
body was broken.

FOUR STRIKERS
SHOT IN FIGHT

4 THOUSAND ARE IDLE
stockade Has Been Erected About the
Works and Armed Men Are Now on
Guard.

Following the inauguration OF
strike OF a thousand furnacemen al
| the plant of the New Jersey Zinc
company in Palmerton, Pa, serious
riots occurred there.
In a pitched battle between a mon
OF foreigners and a force Of deputies
under Sheriff Begel, of Carbon county
four foreigners were seriously wound
ed. They are John Morell, Steve war
mack. Joe Baston and Cyril Wassuk.
The last named was taken to the
Palmerton hospital and is reported to
be in a critical condition. The other
three are being concealed by their
friends.
The trouble began last Saturday,
when the foreigners, in addition to
demanding the reinstatement of seven
men, asked for an increase in wages.
1t seems as if t ehcompany were
determined at all hazards to keep its
other plant going, although earlier in
the trouble a threat was made to
close that also A stockade has been
formed around the west plant, with
guards at entrances and along the
lines. and the workmen who were in
side are being kept inside. To furnish
them meals, provision trains have az.
rived from New York with cooke, and
cots have also been secured.
The rioting began when it was pro-
posed TO make the shift. Rocks We're
thrown and officers retaliated. Sheriff
Begel was sent for and he is on guard
with twenty-five men. Searchlights
were put into service during the night.
and when strikers came in sight the
guards chased them.
At midnight there was an inter
change of shots between the guards
and the strikers. but nobody was hurt
A dead line was established by the
sheriff. and whenever picketing is at
tempted the strikers are driven off
During one of these clashes the four
men We're shot by the deputies.
The foreigners are leaving in scores,
and trains were fairly packed with
them At the PalmertOn station Con
stable F. F. Bach, Of Lehighton, ser1-
ing as a deputy, was knocked down
by a handcufed striker whom he was
going to take to Jail Before the con
stable recovered the prisoner had been
helped across the canal by friends
and he made his escape the handcuits
being smashed with stones.
