and prepare for an aggressive campaign.
He declared himself confident of de-
feating Senator France In the primaries.
Apparently not in the least disturbed
by the formidable opposition to him that
has developed Senator France is optimis-
tic OF his nomination and election. The
primary fight promises to be exceeding
ly bitter. both candidates having ele-

probably more popular in Baltimore city

Generally cloudy and unsettled

SEEKS RIGHT TO SELL
GUIDE BOOK ON STREET
F. S. Crane Appeals From Fine,
Declaring D. c. Regulation
Is Prohibitory.

A writ of error was granted by the
Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia today IN the case of
Francis s Crane vs. the District Of
Columbia. The case involves the
validity of a regulation promulgated
by the Commissioners March 81, 1922,
reading, as follows:
Except as otherwise provided in
these regulations no article of mer-
chandise or thing whatsoeVeI shall
be sold from or upon any street or
public space in the District of Co
4umbia.'
MIR. Crane was engaged iii selling.
through various street agents. an IL
Illustrated guide book of Washington
and vicinity and had applied for IL
cense to sell the same. rendering the
money therefor. which application
was refused by the authorities on
the ground that no law in force here
required or authorized such license.
A test case decided in July by Judge
Mcmahon in the Police Court resulted
in a conviction and nominal fine of
$40, from which an appeal was taken.
1t Is the contention of Mr.. Crane
that a rule of the Commissioners
which will not let him sell without
license and at the same time refuses
him a license is unreasonable, pro-
hibitory instead of regulatory. and
that the Commissioners have not the
necessary authority to promulgate
such regulation.
In his application he showed that
il wasI nowhere otherwise provid-
ed" that anything should be sold on
the streets. and that. interpreted. the
regulation says: Amy one whom we
permit to sell on the streets may
sell on the streets, whatever it is
they sell. but any one whom we have
not permitted to sell on the streets
may not sell on the streets. whatever
it is they sell.
Mr.. Crane further insists that his
guidebook is of educational interest
to the public in general and that
until sale of all other articles of
merchandise and things ,a upon 18th the :,
forms, various and sundry fruits,
vegetables. etc, is likewise prohibit
ed through an undiscriminatory en-
forcement of some valid regulation:
he should be allowed to offer and
sell his publication in the same way.
Attorney P. B. Morehouse appears for
Mr.. Crane.

night and is being questioned by

ces in the household of Harvey

Both Farr and Coroner w. l. Ro-
hey, who yesterday presided at an
inquest into the death of Cornell, are
satisfied. they said today. that the
case Is not one of murder. but of
suicide. The official verdict of the
coroner last night placed the case as
suicide. The investigation continued
today. nevertheless, at the request
OF Commonwealth Attorney Farr.
who said that he wished to clear
up some doubts as to circumstances
occurring previous to the murder.
Skillman, it is understood, had been
seen number of times at the home
of Cornell. where he was paying at
tentions to the young daughter OF
the deceased.
The coroner's jury which last night
viewed the body at the inquest re-
turned a verdict that Cornell met
death as a result of a hemorrhage or
the, bowels. caused by an incision
with q razor.
1t was known. Coroner Robey said.
thatsthe deceased had no enemies who
might take his life. but that he had
been brooding over troubles cropping
up in his home. He ran out OF the
house early on Saturday morning dur
ing q heavy rainstorm and was not
seen alive thereafter

ALBA. Iowa. September 5.-Gov.
\. E. Kendall. speaking in this, his

statement of the head of a big coal
company that the company would in
crease coal prices this winter to make
up what it lost in the five months
strike, sum placed at $4,000.
"A more brazen announcement of a
more piratical purpose never was
recorded in the annals of industry.
Gov. Kendall said
IF that policy is to be generally
adopted an entirely new equation will
be introduced into business, and the
common people will underwrite the
hazard of every enterprise"
The assertion that operators should
be compensated for profits forfeited
through suspension for which they
were primarily responsible" was cali
ed insolent and preposterous by Gov.
Kendall
Il do not know whether our present
status can curb such rapacity," he
said. "All competent authorities agree
that the cost Of production is no
higher than 1T was when the contro-
versy opened. There is, therefore. no
reason whatever. why the price of
coal to consumer should be a cent a
ton greater than it was then, vet the
ewspapers carry the report that q

dropped. however. when the Pennsyl-
