GOOD ANIMALS

Professor Surface Of Pennsylvania
comes to the defense Of the snake as
a farmers friend. His children all
are very friendly with the snakes
about the place. All Pennsylvania
snakes should be protected except the
poisonous ones; and of these we think
there are only two in Pennsylvania,
the rattlesnake and the copperhead.
Snakes eat bugs, locusts, worms,
and other insect pests; so do toads.
Toads are Of probably more value
than snakes, and when a snake eats
a toad he is doing more harm than II
he swallowed himself But it seems
better to have two useful animals like
toads and snakes struggling for sur
vival than to carry on the war against
insects in a snakeless and toadless
world.

Hatchtown Dam
Swept by Water

that the water in the reservoir
would cover about seventy.fve city
blocks Of Salt Lake to q depth OF
twenty to twenty-five feet.
The dam was completed in 1903
by d. b. Brinton, Of Holiday who
had the contract for the work. Mr..
Brinton said last night that the con.
tract called for $4,000. but that the
work cost about 100000 before it was
finally accepted by Caleb Tanner, who
was the state engineer at that time.
Mr.. Brinton added that the dam was
constructed under the general super.
vision Of David Jensen, who formerly
lived in Logan, but who is now sup
posed to be living in Springville.
The break in the dam, coming at
this season Of the year, will prob.
ably do an tireparable damage, 80 FAR

that the break in the dam IL such

SUPREME COURT
ANNULs ORDER

Washington, May 25.-The sup.
rene court today annulled the inter-
state commerce commissions order
in the Tap line cases.
The court upheld the commerce
court, which annulled the commits
sion's order on the ground It acted
arbitrarily in holding that allowances
could not be granted on freight Of
interests owning both the lumber and
the tap lines, but could be granted on
freight Of other interests shipping ov-
er the tap line.
Justice Day, in announcing the
courts decision, said the decision did
not, however, prevent the commission
from striking down divisions Of thru
rates, II such divisions were used to
grant actual rebates. The court held
in effect that the mere division was
not to be regarded in and Of itself as
a rebate.
The decision was unanimous.
Trunk lines in the yellow pine dis
tricts OF Missouri. Arkansas, Texas
and Louisiana had cancelled Joint
through rates on lumber shipped over
the tap lines and the trunk lines. The
commission held that the tap lines
were not entitled to have the Joint
rates restored ana that any allow.
ances or divisions from the trunk
lines to 80 Of the tap lines were un.
lawful. The commission held further
that where the tap lines were owned
by a lumber company such an al,
lowance was in effect rebate.

HAMILL SECURE FOR
RETURN TO CONGRESS
Kuehnle, Boss Of Atlantic City,
Badly Beaten in Effort to
"Come Back"

Early returns from New Jersey prl-
maries yesterday indicated that H.
Otto Wittpenn. Naval Officer OF the
Port Of New York, had won his fight
with Governor Fielder over the sclec'
ton of the various Democratic candl-
Gates in Hudson County. The tight be-
tween the Wittpenn men and the Field
or adherents was bitter and exciting
one.
Representative Eugene Kinkead was
the Fielder candidate for Sheriff.
while Emil Groth was the Wlttpenn
candidate. For more than month the
fight has been going on.
The fight for the nomination for
Sheriff is close, and the result Will
not be known until the total vote ~
counted. The balance Of the Wittpenn
ticket, however, is away in the lead
Hugh Mara appears to have won the
Democratic nomination for Register
and J. j. McGwern the nomination Tor
County Clerk. Both are Wittpenn men.
The indications also are that James D.
Hamill has been renominated for Con-
gress. He is Wittpenn follower.
Lewis Kuehnle, the one time Repub-
lican boss of Atlantic City, was badly,
beaten in his efforts to come back.
His candidate for Congress, Emerson
Richards, was soundly defeated by
Isaac Bachrach, who had the support
of Senator Walter Edge. Bachrach's
plurality in Atlanta County will be
more than 1000. 9,
Because of the many candidates and
the large vote cast, the counting Of the
ballots was slow. In many instances II
is probable that the result will not be
known until after breakfast time this
morning.
Professor John d. Prince, of Column
ba, has a safe lead over :. Wood Nc
Clavc, his opponent for the RepuDll-
can nomination for Congress in the 9th
District, and looks like the winner.
The tight between Charles n. Fowler,
of Elizabeth, and John H. Capstick. Of
Morris, for the Republican nomination
for Congress, was close, and, while
MIR. Fowler had fair lead in his home
county of Union, it was not expected
that il would be large enough to over
come Mr.. Capstick's lead in Morris.

PETITION TRICK
STIRS DAVENPORT
Moose Candidate Worried Over
Discovery Affecting Some
Signatures Secured.

Progressive leaders. and particularly
Frederick VI. Davenport, were much
disturbed yesterday over the discovery
that some OF the signatures on the
Davenport petition were invalid. They
we're worried because they did not
know how many would have to be
thrown out, although they had twice AS
many as needed.
Justice Chester, in the Supreme
Court, indicated that some Of the ne
titions looked suspicious and handed
them on to the Appellate Division,
which will pass on them at Saratoga
to-day. william VI. Chadbourne will
represent the Progressive party before
the court
Some Of the Progressive leaders are
firmly convinced that friends of Will
lam Sulzer plotted TO invalidate the
Davenport petition. II seems that men
who had obtained signatures for Sulzcr
were aftcrward hired by Chadbourne
10 get signatures for the organization

their previous service. They went to

return Of the Republicans to power.
Answering the attack OF JOB Il.
Hedges, one of his rivals. who has
said that the District Attorney, II
elected Governor, would throw the
Office he vacated into the hands OF
Tammany Hall, Judge Whitman said:
"A good friend Of mine (meaning

Attorney will be thrown into the hands
of Tammany Hall. want TO assure
Mr.. Hedges that II am elected Gov
ernor, and shall, ! will have the

good friend knows that IL has been
seventeen years since Tammany Hall
has elected District Attorney in New
York County, and | wonder II he also
knows that that Tammany Hall Dis
trict Attorney was removed by the
Governor? So there is no fear OF the
Office Of District Attorney becoming
Tammanyized when / am elected Gov
