When the word was passed that the
President was going to the golf links
the Secret Service men and policemen

detained i'm his Office and decided to
make a short cut TO his automobile TO

rested Yesterday on a charge Of grand

tho special referendum election yester-
day Although the returns from up
state were far from complete, it was
estimated that the majority in favor Of
the convention would run from $4,000
to 10000; might even reach $4,000.
New York city cast S0O91 votes for
and 24.361 against, a majority in favor
OF convention Of $3.50. The scatter
ing upstate returns totalled 1924 for
and 1870 against Taking all the fig
ures reported from all sources, they
gave a majority Of 57,SS4 for the con-
vcntion.
Account must be taken Of the fact,
however, that all the rural districts
which have not sent in their returns
will unquestionably report majorities
against the convention.

The last ray Of hope Of escaping the

awaiting execution in Sing Sing for the
murder OF Herman Rosenthal, vanished
i,.t night when Governor Glynn denied
The application for a reprieve.
Nothing stood between the four con-
damned men and the execution Of the
death penalty except the possibility Of
Executive clemency. Pursuant to the
sentence imposed by Justice Goff, and
affirmed by the Court OF Appeals, they
oin walk through the little green
door which leads from the death house

thing further being done to stay the

can always be made. based on newly
discovered evidence. but such evidence
Is not believed to be in the possession
Of counsel for the gunmen.

that the Governors attitude was 'ab-

Right to Hold Stock in Two Cor

peal Planned.

Trenton, y. j., April THE govern
ment lost the first round Of its second
attempt to destroy the so-called an
thracite coal trust when the United
States Court Of Appeals to-day dis
missed without prejudice suit
against the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western Railroad Company and the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
coal Company under the commodities
clause of the interstate commerce law
and the Sherman antitrust law.
The court held that there is no
United states law or decision Of the
Supreme Court prohibiting the same
set Of individuals from holding stock in
two distinct corporations, even though
they may be engaged i'm correlated
business.
The issue Snvolvcd was raised after
tho Supreme Court OF the United states
upheld the validity Of the commodities
clause. Immediately following that de-
cision the Delaware & LackaWanna
Railroad got rid Of its enormous an
thracite holdings to new corporation,
the Delaware, Lackawsnna and West
ern Coal Company.
The railroad declared dividend Of
20 per cent and the stockholders took
stock in the coal company. The gov
crnment contended that this was a
LAWYERS device" and a mere "subter-
fuge" and instituted a second suit.
Hard Fought Legal Battle.
II was this second suit that was de-
cided adversely to the government to-
day by Judges Gray. Burlington and
Mcpherson, Of the 80 Judicial Circuit.
Argument on the case had been heard

got behind him. The President sent

for the poor showing. Not a cent was
contributed, they assert, by either the

Washington for letting them shift for
themselves.
Paterson normally is a Democratic
city, but Mr. Drukker came within
1900 votes OF getting a majority over
the other four candidates. Demsrest's
vote was not up to that Of last fall,
nevertheless, he was less than 600 be-
hind O'Byrne. The Socialists expected
that the recent silk strike would help
them. and they counted on carrying
the city.
