Consul for Railroads Declare the Bill Was Merely a Wage Increase Bill for Brother hoods Benefit.
LACK OF AUTHORITY
 BY CONGRESS CHARGED
Government Attorneys State That No Man Would Have Accepted Proposition That Carriers Made to Public.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Arguments | sEitutionality of the Adamson act
 neared conclusion today. Tomor | row the final statement of the gov ernment's case will be made and the test suit will be submitted for court decision.
 Questions of law, the merits of the ! legislation and the manner of it's enactment were discussed at length today. and members of the court con tinued to address interest to the pro- ceedings by interrupting counsel with questions.
 Lack by congress of authority to enact what they termed railroad wage legislation was the principal line of attack of the railroad attorneys. Wal ker D. Hines and John J. Johnson. They contended also that the law is incapable of operation without judi cial interpretation. takes property without due process of law and in- terferes with liberty of contract.
 Difficulty of definitely applying the act was emphasized by Mir. Hines. He said also the law fixes an eight hour standard railroad day for train operatives. nearly all such employees are employed on mileage, trip. run or monthly basis.
 The primary purpose of the act was arbitrary regulation of private contracts" he declared, in conclud- ing an address of more than three hours.
 Tt sets aside legitimate methods. substituting an unavoidable specula- tive arrangement. Its classifications give benefit only to the four brother hoods who were demanding the changes-all for the benefit of a spe- cial, high paid class. In all aspects it is of unconstitutional and bewild- ering bungling without reference to merit and promotion.
 He said the act was against public anu pulcis lOi piiNdlC iuNCiCots anu arbitrarily transfers between forty and fifty million dollars from the pockets of the railroads to the pockets of the workmen"
 He insisted it was purely a wage increase law. The exact legislation of railroad rates he said. would lead to unforeseen results.
 There is nothing in the Adamson act for protection of the public he said. "the brotherhoods had the hon. esty not to pretend that they were not working for the public but stand ing for their own selfish end"
 Have we come to that, have we reached the period when the men who threaten a strike shall be re- warded? I'm not comparing men. only methods. but we might as we'll buy off a gang of highwaymen with a bribe as to prevent it with an act on congress"
 MT. Hagerman asserted that no self man would have acceded to the proposition the carriers made to the public.
 The carriers were pretending" he said. that they wanted arbitration

Both Sides Claim Victory in Decision Handed Down by the Supreme Court in the Campbell-Hunt Contest.
FURTHER ARGUMENT
 INVITED BY COURT
Legislature Effects Permanent Organization--More Ballots Found for Campbell, Max ing His Lead now 164.
(By Review Leased Wire)

PHOENIX, Jan. g. - Tn sustaining motion of Attorney Ives to eliminate a portion of pleading of Judge Sloan in the latters application for a writ to compel George Hunt to give up the executive office to Governor Camp bell, the supreme court today gave its opinion that the only officer au thorized to canvass returns and issue election certificates is the Secretary of State.
 The matter stricken out of the com plaint is explained as merely pre- cautionary, and placed in pleading because the Campbell attorneys un- derstood that Hunt attorneys were in tending to attack validity of Secre- tary Osborn's certificate, as basis for claim upon appurtenances of ex- ecutive office. In striking out this extra matter, court, in the opinion of Judge Sloan. has justified use of certificate of election, as basis for such claim.
 Hunts contention, after certificate had been issued, was that the secre- tary was not empowered to issue said certificate, that the constitutional provision defining his powers was not self executing, null and void in ab- sence of legislativd enactment. It was also coHtended that governors commission to elective officers was  the only valid title.
 With every matter before it relative to governorship contest disposed of by this decision, supreme court will next take up mandamus hearing pro- per. The court. speaking through Chief Justice Franklin stated. how ever, that respondent might submit additional argument and authorities touching preliminary motion.
 Judge Sloan considered the deci- sion victory for Campbell, that it sustained his own contention that Os- born's certificate was proper evidence of the title of the big sombrero to the second floor suite labeled Gov ernor's office" "The hearing on the writ is to be held tomorrow" he said, "and the respondent can put in all the additional arguments he wants to, but the burden of proof will rest with him, to show is there isany other qualified canvassing tribunal than the secretary of state"
 Legislature Organized
 PHOENIX, Jan. 9.-Completion of organization and appointment of com mittees was the only work attempted by the Third Arizona State Legisla- ture today. Following the appoint ment of attaches and naming of con- mittees both houses adjourned until Thursday morning. by which time it is believed the governorship problem will have been solved by a supreme court decision as to who is entitled to hold the office.
 C. P Hicks of Yavapai county was elected secretary of the senate and Alfred Trippel of Maricopa. assistant secretary. Rev Bertrand c. Cocks of 71"ticopa was made chaplain of the senate.
 Nine additional ballots for Campbell were found today in the bottom of ballot box. The ballots had been re- iected by the election board. This raises Compbell's net gain from the inspection to 164.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Two confessions in connection with States Attorney Maclay Hoyne's crusade to "clean up' the police department have been ob- tained, MT Hoyne said tonight. They came from among those taken into custody in the last twenty four hours and one of them. Hoyne said, bore him out in his charge of intoxication, bribery and conspiracy against Chief of Police Charles Healy.
 The chief. during whose administra- ton MT. Hoyne alleges murder, rob the city, wrote what is probably his last communication to the city coun- cil today. It was a request for an appropriation of s50,000 to analyze beer and other drinks taken in saloon raids. Chief Healy's resignation ef- fective January II, has been accepted by Mayor Thompson. His successors name will go to the council Thursday night. Mayor Thompson would not divulge his name.
 iuc Cuitl DOHu, WHICH was Scl dt S1O0.0O0 last night, was reduced to s25.0O0 today The defendant asserted his innocence and referred further in quiries to his attorney. Eleven persons so far have been taken into custody Warrants are out in addition for Lieutenants Ward and Hartford. MT. Hoyne had interviews with Skidmore, White and Healter today. He mani tested much interest in a green GOV cred code book alleged to have been kept by White. It contained a long list of saloons and various notations Some were marked split three ways. Others were referred to as the chiefs list" "may be raided." etc
 Streeter asserted that there was no basis for charges against him. save he was acquainted with Healter and Costello. Mir. Hoyne said that addi- tional arrests would be made from time to time as evidence accumulated He said the confessions were made by Costello. whom he called the brains of the ring, and by Lieutenant White.

POLICE CHEFS BOND
 IS REDUCED BIG SUM
Healey Sends Resignation to Mayor Thompson Which Is Accepted at Once-Other Officers in Affair.
(By Review Leased Wire.) ]

CHICAGO, Jan. 9-Thomas Costello, who, according to State Attorney Hoyne, was the directing genius of the system for exacting tribute from vicious resorts, gambling dens and from policemen who sought promo tion," has made a confession in con- nection with the graft charges which led to the arrest of Chief of Police Healey and others, Hoyne announced tonight Lieutenant Agustus Martin White also has confessed, Hoyne said.
 According to MT. Hoyne, Lieutenant White in his admission, laid most of the blame on Costello, and Costello, according to MT. Hoyne. said that Chief Healy was the person respon- sible for the system.
 "Healy," said MT Hoyne, "has been quoted as saying that he saw Costello two or three times in the last ten years. According to Costello's confes- sion and reports of my detectives who have shadowed every move of the chief for months, they saw each other several times a week. Costello took the chiefs share of the tribute to the latter's home, and the chief called frequently at Costelio's pay-off joint. They have talked over the telephone every day. On one of Costello's trips ro the chiefs home he was accompa- nied by Mike de Pikey in taxicab. We have. the number of the cab and know the driver"
