agree with the arguments against the
bill made by some of his republican
colleagues. but that he did believe the
bill was unconstitutional and the most
vicious proposal ever submitted to Con-

My opposition is not based upon the
ground that it is inappropriate or un
wise or unsafe for the government of
the United States to enter upon this
enlarged activity, said Senator Cum
minis, but we have no constitutional
power to adopt this legislation. If my
democratic friends be successful in en-
undertaking, because on the first chal

down under the Judgment of the court.

When the play gets to your city
YOU viii have to make up your mind
about it
The great novelty of the little play,
which undertakes to show the differ
ence between real love and physical
infatuation, is that it exploits the
charm of the undraped young man
instead of the scantiIy attired young
woman.
The hero makes his first appear
ance in the heroine's drawing room
clad only in a very abbreviated run
ner's costume and bright smile. He
has injured his leg in race and Ruth
Stanley, engaged to Dr.. Ralph Web
ster, is engaged in putting peroxide
on the youths wound when the ply
stefan returns unexpectedly from
trip to the west and discovers that
''the natural law" of youths attrac-
ton to youth has asserted itself and
that Ruth Stanley's love is lost to him
forever. .~.r
In the second scene Ruth receives
the young hero alone. His loVe-mak-
ing is violent.
In the next act the young hero is
about to sail to take part in the mar
athon in the Olympic games, when he
is summoned by telephone to the Of
flee of the physician whose fiancee
he has stolen and is told that he must
marry the girl at once,
The boy is willing, when it is dis
covered that it will not be possible to
obtain a marriage license before his
steamer sails. He must leave the girl
he loves In her predicament or he
must abandon his race for the Mara
thon.
He tells the girl to decide for him.
Here is her answer, the big speech of
the play, delivered by Helen Holmes;
you say obeyed the natural law;
that l committed no crime against ma
ture, only against the laws of men

and Mary Kelliher Moynihan, instead
OF John and Mary Moynihan. Judge
Rassieur's opinion covers nearly Sc
typewriter pages. In it attention il
called several times to the testimony
of Benjamin Foster Moynihan, who
said Moynihan visited him in Ottawa.
Canada, March 10, 1898. This appears
to be strengthened by similar testi-
mony given by Adam Thompson, who
said he met jeremiah Moynihan in
Ottawa at that time and talked with
him. Taken alone, this testimony
would favor the claimants contention
OF heirship, but it was contradicted.
Judge Rassieur says it was shown dur
ing the trial that Jeremiah Moynihan
made a deposit of $40 in a st. Louis
bank on the date he was said to have
been in Ottawa. Further, the pay
roll of a railroad by which he was en-
ployed in st. Louis at the time, show
ed Moynihan received and receipted
for a full months pay during the
month of March, 1893. "The testi-
mony of the claimant cannot be be-
lieved, and other witnesses gave testi-
mony which was untrue, while they
were under the influence of Benjamin
Foster Moynihan's romantic story"
Judge Rassieur's opinion says. Various
witnesses said during the trials that
Moynihan was an lrishman, an Aus
tralian, a German and a Canadian.
On n day during the litigation there
vert 40 or 80 lawyers in court repre-
senting "widows" "~uncles," raunts,"
SISTERS" "~brothersn and "sons" of
of the dead teamster, who was known
in Ireland as "the rich Mr.. Moynihan
of st. Louis" Mr.. Isenberg's fee, it
is said, is half of the estate.
