FIVE LAWYERS ENGAGED. Dr. Rowland has Ave (lawyers. The State is represented not onie by the solicitor, but .by. additional counsel. Members of the family of Dr. Row land's first wife are said to be very keenly interested in the matter and a very prominent man told your co- respondent last . week, as has already been stated, that Rowland's brother- in-law, .who is very well to do, is aid ing the prosecution with his . means. The Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers continue their interest in so far as Mrs. Rowland's case Is con cerned. It was through their in fluence that she was arrested and that the grave charge of poisoning Strange yet hangs over Dr. Rowland. tThey have now dropped out of the 'case, the State taking charge of it, but they obligated Hhemselves to pay for the analysis of the contents of Strange's stomach. , An engineer said that in such cases it seemed that a guaran tee had to be given that the ex expenses, which are said to be some thing like $200, will be met and that the Brotherhood of Engineers had stood for whatever was. necessary. Of course, there are two beliefs here, as far apart as the poles, one being that Dr. and Mrs. Rowland are .abso lutely Innocent; the other belnj that they are guilty and, that circum stantial evidence is overwhelmingly against - them and that some ; subtle poison was used.- '.

He said that the Attorney General of North Carolina had gone, to Washington and had stated that the law of the land was supreme and that North Carolina recognized and honored that, fact at all times, as the State was ready at once to pay the amount of the judg ment Judge Brewer said that this was the most magnificent exhibition of honesty and respectful law of which he had knowledge and that he had so stated in his addresses in various parts of the country, and that a splendid example had had its ef fect as was very evident from the message of the retiring Governor of South Dakota. ; FUNERAL DIRECTORS.

It was Philander Chase Knox who in 1902 pointed out that an amendment to the constitution of the United States was unnecessary to enable Congress to redress . the wrongful exercise of power by cor poratlons in tneir relation to Inter State commerce and who made that opinion good by-. the legal proceedings which he successfully prosecuted for the violation of the Inter-State com merce and anti-trust laws of the na tion; and also by the amendments to those laws whloh he recommended and prepared and which subsequently met the approval of Congress. .,.,,.. "The record of Philander Cihase Knox is a matter of history. Of him President Roosevelt said in his speech at the dedication of the new State capltol in October. 1906: "During the last few years the national government has taken very strong stride in the direction of exercising and securing adequate control oyer tne great cor poratlons and it was under the leader ship of one of the most honored pub He men in our contry. one of Pennsyl vania's most eminent eons the -pres ent Senator and then Attorney Oener ai Knox that tne new departure was begun.' . " j 'We are proud of Mr. Knox's record as Attorney General. We are proud j of his later record as Senator In which Office he Is displaying the same quali ties of patriotism, intergrity and the devotion of his abilities to the cause of good government and good citizen ship. Hie capacity : and experience, his motives and purpose,1 his high character in public and private life fit him for the highest office. "Believing in him and supporting him earnestly as ; we do we hereby endorse him on behalf of the Repub lican party of this Commonwealth for the great office of President of the United States and we have the honor of presenting him now to the Republi cans of our sister States as Pennsyl- vanla's candidate for the Presidency before tne, nepumican nomination convention m June, a90S." .
