Commission, adopted on October II.
1908, section A of whicn contains the
commlsslons declaration that it will
recommend the indictment and prose-
cution of persons illegally issning
passes, section s specifically excludes
the issuing of passes to families of
local attorneys who are not regularly
employed by carriers"
Another ruling of the commission.
No. 20sA, with regard TO free passes
and free transportation made on Octo-
Der -. 1905. also says:
The provisions of the act relative
to the issuance Of free tickets, free
passes. free transportation or free
carriage to employees of carriers ap-s
ply only to persons who are actually
III the service Of the carriers and
who devote substantially all of their
time to the work or business OF such
carriers"
1t is also pointed out by those ia
:niliar with rules for free transporta-
tlon that special counsels, such as Mr..
McAdoo, are not entitled to time" or
annual passes, but are entitled only
to passes when on business as coun-
sci, and that in addition their families
are not entitled to passes.
President Could Waive Rule
There is only one way. according to
the laws governing free trans porta-
ton Whereby Mr.. McAdoo could le-
gallay hold his passes if he does not de-
vote substantially all mis- time 10 ms
work as counsel for the railroad ad-
minlstration. This is contained in sec
tlon 10 of the Federal control law
under which the President may set
aside the rules of the Interstate Com
merce Commission with regard 10
passes or other matters.
This part of the law provides that
carriers while under Federal contro
snail be subject TO al laws ard La
bllltles as common carriers, whether
arising under state or Federal laws
or at common law, except in so far a:
may be inconsistent with the provisions
OF this act or any other acts applicab it
to such Federal control. CT with any
order Of the President"
According 10 persons familiar with
railroad matters, the above paragraph
in the law would permit the Presiden-
to issue passes not only to Mr.. McAdoc
but to any one else he might choose
to favor
Precedent to allow the President tc
set aside the law if he desires has
already been established It is known
that Mr.. McAdoo. as Director Genera,
and acting in behalf of the sident
did upon at least one occasion set such
d precedent by issuing an order chang
ing the venue of q suit for damages
for personal injury in which the rail
road administration was involved. Thi:
decision was upheld by Judge Trieber
Of St. Louis.

Presidents Decision to Re.
tain Chief Lieutenant
threatens to Result in a
New Attack on Official
Party Schism Predicted
Violations of Merit Rule
in Postoffice Appoint
ments Now Are CHARGED
Ncw York Tribune
Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-It is evil
dent that the President has decided
not to eliminate Postmaster General
Burleson from the Cabinet, despite
tnea rel presentations that have been
made by members of the national
democratic organization and by many
party leaders that Burlesor IS too heavy
load to carry. The subject IS one to
which the President has given close
attention since his return from Europe.
Both Mr.. Burleson and his oppo-
nents within the party have been at the
White House in long consultation with
the President. Mr.. Burleson has
emerged from these conferences smil-
ing. His attitude shows he is absolute
ly confident that he will remain in
Office and continue as the Presidents
chief lieutenant
The Presidents decision in Burle-
sons favor, however, does not mean
that the anti -Burloson faction in the
party will cease its war on the Post
master General Il f..c. that war
promises 20 become yore bitter than
ever 1t Is taking on the ASPECT of a
party schism, and it is now probable
that within two weeks revelations will
be made by Mr BHleson's own party
associates regarding whar are called
his factional and partisan activities.
Merit Idea Said to Be Ignored
A source of possible trouble to Mr..
Burlcson lies in his attitude toward
the appointment Of postmasters of the
higher classes.
The civil service commission, it is
reported, did not prove as amenable to
Mr.. 8urleson as he thought desirable
Accordingly, last February Mr.. Burle-
son succeeded in having the President
demand the immediate designations of
Herman W. Craven and Charles n. Gal
loway. members of the commission
Craven is from Seattle and was the
Republican member, and Galloway, a
Democrat, is from South Carolina. The
President assigned no reason for his
demand Craven promptly resigned
Ga loway flied his resignation at the
White House, but at the same time he
gave to the Pres dent, it is now known,
written charges Of very serious
nature against Burleson, involving
Burleson's attempt to prostitute the
civil service law and the commission
itself
Six months have passed and the
President has not acted on the Gallo
way resignation nor on the charges.

Carmack's Slayer
Is Thought Victim
OF Blacknail Plot
Robin Cooper, Whose Body
Was Found in Greek, Had
Borrowed $4,000 on
the Day of the Tragedy

NASHVILLE, Tenn Aug. s1-After
their forty-e ight-hour investigation,
the police 10 day are of the belief that
Robin Cooper, whose mutilated body
was found Saturday morning in a creek
near his home, was the victim of a
blackmail plot. They base this belief
on two facts.
The first is that on the day OF the
tragedy Cooper borrowed $4,000 for a
purpose which his intimate associates
cannot explain SO far as they know
he was in no financial difficulty nor
was he thought to have intended to in
vest the money in some commercial en-
terprise. lie was said to be prosper
ing in his profession as an attorney.
Mysterious Stranger Calls
The second fact disclosed was that
when called from his home Thursday
night by mysterious stranger shortly
gardener TO remark in an exasperated
tone: "Tou could have had more if YOU
had asked for it,"
When the unidentified man called
Cooper himself answered the bell, and
after short colloquy slammed the
door shut. He ran upstairs, kissed his
two children, Robin and William, good
ny. descended and went out 10 the
garage. The stranger, who had not
been asked to enter the house, as
might have been expected had he been
friend, joined Cooper, and another
discussion took place, in which some
statement apparently irritatcd the
young attorney and his statement re-
ported by the gardener was made in
raised tone
Both men then departed into the
darkness in Cooper's machine, and
nothing was heard from them until
the blood-staned car was found the
next morning half a mile from the
Cooper home
Possible Motive Found
The police admit they have built up
a possible motive for blackmail, but
refuse to divulge its nature.
tor twelve years following his part
IN the killing OF former Senator Ed
ward NJ. Carmack, young Cooper had
lived quietly and with the desire. his
TRENDS say, of regaining the confidence
OF his fellow citizens. They could I'D
vance no possible theory by which he
could have become involved as the vic
tim of blackmail plot.
At the time of the tragedy, Mrs.
Cooper, daughter of Milton N. Smith.
Of Louisville, KY, was away on a visit
to friends in Evanston, III. She was
promptly notified and arrived here to-
day, but could throw no light on the
affair.

Unless the President Has
Waived Law, He Is Liable
to Penalty of From 500

Senate Inquiry Possible

Washington Bureou
WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. - Unless
President Wilson has waived the law
in behalf of William G. McAdoo and
his family. both Mr.. McAdoo and tho
railroad administration officials, who
issued railroad and Pullman passes to
Mr.. and Mrs. McAdoo and Pullman
passes to Mr.. McAdoos two children,
are liable to fine of 800 to $4,000, it
was stated here to-day by experts on
railroad legis lation.
Investigation of these passes NAV be
started by Senators, who were much
surprised at the extent to which the
railroad administration has issued
passes to the families of officials, as
disclosed in the report recently made
to the Senate in response to an inquiry
made by Senator Trueman H. New
berry, of Michigan.
Under the laws OF the commission, it
was declared the commission has ruled
that it will recommend the indictment
and prosecution OF all carriers and
persons issuing passes to or allowing
the use Of passes by any persons not
included within the desi gnated classes
to whom free transportation may be
given"
Liable to Fine if Illegal
According to this ruling and the act
to regulate commerce. Mr. McAdoo and
family and Director General Hines, or
the persons in the railroad admins
tration who issued the passes, would be
liable 20 fine of not less than $1OO
and not more than $4,000 for issuance
of passes TO persons not entitled to
passes or for use of passes illegally
issued.
When Mr. McAdoo resigned as Di-
rector General of Railroads he was
retained as special counsel for the
railroad administration for the State
Of New York. 1t was not until April
a, 1919, or three months later, that
both train and Pullman passes were
ISSUED to Mr.. and Mrs. McAdoo, and
Pullman passes to Robert H. McAdoo
and Miss S. McAdoo. In the mean time
it had been reported that Mr.. McAdoo
had been retained at q salary of $780,
600 year also by one movie corpora
tion alone.
Unless Mr.. McAdoo is devoting prac-
tically all his time to his duties as
special counsel for the railroad admin
stration in the State of New York
he is not entitled to time or yearly
pass by Section Alp Of the conference
rulings Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which says:
Passes to an attorney engaged in
the work of carrier--a carrier ar
ranged with lawyer TO give pre-
ferred attention to its railroad bust
ness at monthly salary. the at
torney being permitted also to en-
gage in general practice. Upon in
quiry held: That time passes may
not lawfully be issued in such a
case unless substantially all the at
torney's time is devoted to the worl.

GRAIN CROP FINE

A visitor in the Doney Park section Tuesday came back with glowing ac- counts of various bountiful grain crops raised out that way.
 Frank Pendergrass got over 200 bushels from less than thirty acres of oats. J. A. Pace, who has been there only year, moving up from Phoenix, threshed his wheat Tuesday, and it is said the yield was big enough. to make him mighty glad he lives where he does.
 Milt Ferrill and 2. o. Carroll, cthc, Eoney Park farmers, are ai,.ong the lucky ones on grain this year.
 w. F. Thompson, whose farm is out beyond the peaks, was in town the first of the week. He has a dan1y crop of spuds, but says one of his neighbors has 12G acres of them, rhany hills running from 50 to 60 potatoes, with hardly one of marketable size.
 L. A. Cross, out on the Fort Valley road, has 90 acres of potatoes, and he is one of the men who expects good yield, the blight not having affected his fCld to any great xtent.
