Claimed Boy Stabbed Him.

Weber at first did not account for the
staobing at all. Then he said he was
walking on Sth street on his way to a
subway station when small boy ran
out of house behind him and plunged a
penknife into his left shoulder. The de-
tectives further questioning, however.
was Of little avail, except to indicate that
the ''boy" story was not to be taken seri-
ously. Weber finally declared II do not
know who stabbed me and ! don'l want
to know
Detectives learned that Weber had
kept e midnight engagement with Sam
Paul. Paul, another gambler whose
name was often mentioned in the early
stories of the Rosenthal case as the lead
CT OF an outing of East Siders who talked
of "croaking" RosentIial. has lately kept
small restaurant near Sth street 1t APP
pearcd that Webber had been attacked
shortly after concluding his engagement
with Paul.
1t will be just eleven months next Mon
day that the murder Of Herman RoSen-
thai occurred at an early morning hour.
Although Weber was arrested in the
roundup of gamblers that followed and
was charged with implication i'll the
murder he was never tried.

May Pass on New Points.

In view of that finding, many believe
the Supreme Court will first consider
whether errors in valuation and appor
tionment have been sufficient in the
Missouri cases to convert a deficit or
low return into a reasonable return.
Many think the court may find the laws
valid to certain roads and invalid as
to others.
Several points not considered in the
Minnesota rate cases are expected to be
passed upon either in the Missouri or
the Arkansas rate cases. Among them
is the question as to what return the
roads are entitled to on their property.
In Missouri the court considered per
cent Reasonable return. III the Arkansas
cases Judge Trieber declared the earn
ings should be per cent. and in ad
dition an allowance of Il per cent
should be made as d surplus for lean
years. On that basis. he held the
Arkansas maximum freight and two-cent
passenger law confiscatory. because he
figured the st. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern would make net earning of
only q per cent, and the ST. Louis
Southwestern &c per cent.

Released After Trial.

With Bald Jack Rose and others in
volved he turned states evidence and
helped to send former Police Lieut.. Beck
er and the four gunner TO Sing Sing
where they are now under death sen-
tence. After the trial of the gunner
Weber and his fellow informers were
released They declared they had re-
ceived many threats against their lives
and for several weeks afterward they
lived in dread of an attack at the hands
of former associates in the underworld
who sought revenge.
Weber even left the country, going to
Havana and Panama, to escape harm. On
his return ne announced that he had
given up gambling and for several months
he had been living in the Morningside
Park section with his wife. If the at
tack upon him is an act of revenge for
his part in the Becker Rosentnal case
it is the first instance of an attack on
the witnesses.

Justice Hughes is picked by most law
yers familiar with the court procedure as
certain 10 announce the conclusion of the
court. as he did in the Minnesota rate
cases last Monday. In doing so he will
review the opinion of Judge Smith Nc
Pherson OF the western Missouri circuit
court. By strange coincidence Judge
Mcpherson in that opinion commented
upon the moral courage OF Justice
Hughes, then Governor of New York. for
vetoing a two-cent passenger bill Judge
Mcpherson held the Missouri maximum
freight rates and the two-cent passenger
law confiscated the property of the rail-
roads and enjoined their enforcement.
Relations Not Alike.
''The relations of a governor to pro-
posed Legislation and those of court to

Mcpherson. ARE entirely different.
The apportionment of value and eN-
penses of the railroads on the revenue
basis, as done in the Missouri cases by
Judge Mcpherson. was disapprOved in
the Minnesota cases. Those errors, JUS
tice Hughes said. were not sufficient
to change a return of 30 per cent into
a remunera tive rate. In the Missouri
cases Judge Mcpherson held that the
return from the freight rates would re-
suit in deficit on the Hannibal and ST.
Louis and the Burlington and a return
not exceeding per cent on the other
sixteen roads concerned. The return
from the tWo-cent passenger law. accord
ing to the judge, would show no profit OF
