Tho president denied having told
anyone that he favored allowing tha
railroads to Increase rates.
As to the trusts, ho explained to
callers that his plans contemplate
facilitating the processes by which the
big combinations can conform with the
law rather than the processes of legal
action. Attorney General McReynolds
tho chief executive pointed out, has
not and will not abate tho laws, but
has tried to give the corporations suf

Ho admitted that most of the adjust

that most of them were violations of
the law' spirit rather than of Its
letter.

the perhaps fatal shooting of County
PoormoHter John G. Putnam late yes

the Ileardsley home to take them with
him tohe poorhoiiBO. Iteardsley shot
him ab soon as he learned his busi
ness. Sheriff Anderson, hastily sum
moned to the scene with a strong
posse, surrounded the house promptly
and would 'have fired on Its defender
but for the fear of hitting his wife or
some of the children.
Anderson declared today, however.
that desperate measure would be nec
essary soon. "What little food there
was in the bouse must have been con

pany filed complaint against W. W.
Irwin of Harlow Monday and aaked the
court to restrain him from carrying
out bis alleged threats.
The complaint was signed by George
nendnhudlcr who rays Irwin has been
making trouble for tbe men for some
time and that he has appeared where
they were at work several time and
threatened tbem. Once, It Is said, he
came to the place with a shot-gun and
promsed to shoot tbe men while they
were at work on the poles but he nev
er became sufficiently Inspired to car
ry out that threat.
Monday, however, his favorite axe
came into play and he promised to
strike the first man who went up tbe
pole to connect up the w ires. The
workers went ahead with the job In
band and no trouble ensued but they
asked the court to prevent him from
behaving In any such unseemly way
In the future. Irwin seems to think
that the land over which tbe company
is now building Its lines belongs to
him and that tbe company has no
business on his private property. The
concern, however, considers the prop-
fcrty part of Its right of way and that
It is building Its line on property mat
It has already In its possession.
As far as tbe men are concerned.
they have received orders to connect
the wires and they declared that they
proposed to do It regardless of tbe axe
or any of the weapons of war that Mr.
Irwin might possess. Tbey complain
ed of bis attitude .however, and car
ried the matter into the court.

WHAT CAESAR DID
. When Caesar took a westward
ride and grabbed tbe Gauls and
Rome, what was the first thing
that he did to make them feel at
home? Did he increase the peo-
pie's load and liberty forbid? No,
he dug In and built good roads
that's what old Caesar did. Did
Caesar put the iron beel upon the
foeman's breast, or did he try to
make tbem feel the Roman rule
was best? What did he do to
make them glad he'd come in
their midst again? He built good
roads in place of bad that's what
old Caesar did. He built good
roads from hill to hill, good roads
from vale to vale; he ran a good
roads movement till old Rome
was strong and hale. He told the
folks to buy at home, built roads
their hills amitL until all roads led
up to Rome that's what old
Caesar did. If any town- would
make the town the center of the
map, where folks will come and
settle down and live In plenty'
lap; if any town its own abodes
of poverty would rid, let it get
out and build good roads Just
like old Caesar did. "Good

Power Given to Governor
By State Law
BAKER Jan. 19. In an exnaustive
decision filed this morning. Circuit
Judge Anderson refused to Interfere
with Governor West's efforts to re
store order In Copperfield. and declar
ed that the courts have no power to
enjoin the executive from proclaiming
martial law when in his Judgment be
deems It necessary In order to put a
stop to lawlessness. Tbe court re
viewed at length the numerous deci
sions cited by counsel on both sides
and the opinion is a sweeping victory
for Governor West.
The suit was instituted by William
Weigand and H. A. Stewart, saloon
keepers and city c'J:elals of Copper
field, and the purpose was to secure
an injunction against the governor
and the militia. An answer filed by
Frank Collier, tha governor's attorney,
recited the lawlessness that prevailed
in Copperfield. the petition for a res
toration of good order that was pre
sented to the governor, and the proc
lamation of martial law. It was con
tended in the answer that the gov
ernor was exercising the rights con
ferred by the constitution. To this
answer the plaintiffs demurred aud
by tbe decision handed down this
morning the demurrer was overruled.
