The members-elect to the legisla

made good start by holding a ban
uuet. making each Others acquaint
ance and talking over the prospec'
tive work of the session. The plan
is an excellent one and ought to be
adopted by the various county delega'
lions throughout the state. The Ran

zone handicap Of our large legisla

the members TO get acquainted. Such

can be promoted by such advance

legislative Responsibility.

The able and generally courteous
Rutland Herald exhibits some bad
feeling because all of the newspapers
haven't rushed pell-mell to join its
"sixty.day Club. Two of them es'
peeially. that happen to be edited by
men who have seen legislative service
come in for hard whacks. The Her
aid finds that these editors are biased
because they don't want any session

summed up in its plan for sell
limited session of 60 days.
The Herald is entitled to its own

some attention. No mere observer,
even If he happens to be trained
reporter constantly on the ground,
can gain a full comprehension of that
which confronts the lawmaker, or es
innate the various factors that make

cannot share their sense of response

only quickly but well. He does not
know what transpires at the commit
tee hearings, except a very few OF
them. or at the committee conferen-
ces. He is merely spectator of the
play. not an actor. and no man can
quite understand anothers position

We sincerely hope the coming SEES

ed il can do well its task by then,
not otherwise. We do not claim TO

Just what moment the lights should

prefer day or two additional rather

Court, But Postponement
May Be Taken
DEFENSE MAY SEEK DELAY
All Witnesses for State In First
Trial Have Agreed to Again
Give Testimony
DEFENSE MAY SEEK DELAY

New York, May 1.-District Attor-
new Whitman and his aids have prac-
tically completed their end of the prep
arations for the second trial Of Charles
Becker. former police lieutenant. ON
charges of instigating the murder of
Herman Rosenthal. for which the four
gunmen were recently executed in Sing
Sing. The district attorney will be
ready for the trial to proceed next
Monday, which IL the tentative date
fixed by Justice Seabury of the su-
preme court. If there is any postpone
ment when the case is called it will be
on motion of counsel for the defense.
The principal work of the District
attorneys Office in preparing for the
new trial has been In the rounding up
of the witnesses. Since the first trial
which took place year ago last fall,
the witnesses for the state, or the most
of them have forsaken their old haunts
in the metropolis, and some of them
have taken up permanent residence
outside the city and state. AS soon
as the supreme court granted Becker
"A new trial, Mr.. Whitman went To
work To place himself in communica-
ton with those who had testified for
the prosecution at the first trial. With
i'm the past two months he has had
assurances from each of them, either
in person or by letter that they will
be on hand ready To testify when the
case is called for the second time.
II is known that The district attor-
ney feels that lie has the states case
in good shape. The general SUPPOSE
ton is that Mr. Whitman will rest his
case upon the testimony of Rose. Web
er and Nallon. In that respect, the
case will resemble the one which was
reversed by the higher court. But
the testimony in corroboration, il is
said, will be almost entirely new.
May Not Recall Schepps.

Vallon and Sam Schepps were the

Salt Lake city. Utah. May THE
Southern Pacific company filed today
in the United States district court It's
answer in the government suit to di-
vorce the Central Pacific from the

the sherman antitrust law has been
violated, points out not only that the
two lines were originally built, operat =
ed and developed as one road. but that
as far back as 1898. the United States
government, itself, practically recog-
nized the combination as wholesome.
1t asserts that in the joint operation
of these lines, through trains have
been run by the most direct or conven-
lent route without reference To their
ownership, and that any separation of
the Central Pacific lines from those G..

ties, and without impairing and incon-
veniencing the public service and the

pass.
Commenting ON the fact that the
lines were in one ownership and man
agement and developed as one proper
ty, the early part of the answer points
out, because of this fact, little heed
was given as To which corporation
should hold the title To terminal prop

branch lines from points on the Cen
