9 H THE RALEIGH EVENING TIMES: MONDAY, JULY 8, 1907. 9 rm r i JUDGE LONG ON RATE LAW Says It is Effective and in Force RAILROADS ARE LIABLE In Opening Court Today Juae B. V. Long Delivers Lengthy Charge, Declaring That Railway Corpora tlons Violating State Law Are Lia ble, to Criminal Action ami In structs Grand Jury to Report Some of the Cases. Jurire B F. Lone convened Wake superior court at 10:35 this momlnRj with his charge to the grand Jury. He (save the hlntory of the Jury system from its inception until the present, dav, and explained to the grand Jury the duties, etc., of that body. Judge , Long deplored the, number of cases to be tried at this "term, especially in view of the fact that Raleigh is the capital of the state, and also in view of the extremely hot weather. Judge Long told the Jury that they would probably be called upon to de cide In regard to five homicides at this session. "What Is murder?" "Murder In the first degree is where it Is done with intention or delibera tion, or by waylaying or by poisoning, with malice." He defined murder in the first and second degrees, and manslaughter. Since 1905 there have been other) crimes placed on the statute books by the. legislature. The last general as sembly, March 4, 190", passed an act providing for the separation of pris oners suffering with tuberculosis from other prisoners. He commanded the grand Jury to look Into this matter and ascertain whether or not this ordi nance is being upheld. The Judge told of an incident that occurred in the presence of Judge Gib son a long time ago. Two highly re spected gentlemen engaged in a fight before Judge Gibson's eyes, and he re ported them to the solicitor. Although they were friends of his, he made them pay a heavy penalty. The only tim? Judge Long attempted to get up evi dence was one time when a sallow faced youth asked him for a match. Then Judge Long tried to find out .who sold the lad cigarettes. The Criminal Ilailroads. On his way to Raleigh. Judge Lung saw the law violated the railroad rate bill passed by the last legisla ture. He then read the act. Any rail road company violating any provision of this act is liable in the sum of $500 to the person aggrieved. Or any agent upon conviction of this demeanor, shall be lined or Imprisoned. The act pro hibits anv railroad corporation from receiving more than two and one quarter cents a mile. If It charges more, It is guilty of a misdemeanor. The agent that took from you more than two and one-quarter cents a mile, if it came under your observation, is liable to an indictment. You cannot escape your oath unless you indict. "I shall not encourage any man to bring suit against his neighbor to get money out of him, .' but after hearing both sides of the question I will pass on it. But this railroad business is a criminal matter, and unless you act on it, you will violate your oath. The superior court has jurisdiction in this Instance. There is no mystery about this matter at all, and until the rati law is set aside by the proper tribunal, it Is the law of the land." He does not apprehend that any federal Judge In the land would enjoin this court in Its criminal action. . Says people do not understand the relation which the railroads bear to the r.tate. One of the duties of the state is to provide public thorough fares. In order to do this the state has certain sovereign powers and can take land for its purposes. State has the power to make every man that travels over the roads pay a toll. This is the right of eminent domain. The same principle that applies to public thoroughfares appertains to the railroads. The state can collect toris and freight. "When the state grants to an indi vidual or corporation a part of her sovereignty, she doesn't part with her proprietary Interest. Kxercising this proprietary power to control, to super vise the common power it is th'j duty of the state to see to it that no wrong shall be done to either the roads or the state. The legislature only has power to do this n North Carolina. This Is the law now until it Is declared Invalid by competent tribunal, and the competent tribunal is in the first place the superior court of North Carolina; econd, supreme court of North Caro lina; third, supreme court of the United States. "The state has the twofold right to (declare what the rate shall he, sub ject to the reversal by the courts, but It is a law until this Is done." Heard president of a railway com pany say that he would obey the law, declaring that It Is a hardship Just at Cool Food 'ft Ready cooked, delicious and nourishing. Grape-Nuts "There's a Reason." A , Even if mercury and potash could cure Contagious Blood Poison the condition in which these strong minerals leave the system would make the "cure worse than the disease." But they cannot cure the vile disorder; they can only cover up the symptoms for awhile or mask the disease in the system, but as soon as the treatment is left off the hideous symptoms return. Mercury and potash eat out the delicate lining of the stomach and bowels, produce chronic dyspepsia by drying up the gastric juices, cause the teeth to decay, and often completely break down the constitution, and vyhere they are used irl large quantities, the bones become affected, while the disease for which one has so long taken this destructive treatment has not been cured. Contagious Blood Poison is a disease it will not do to trifle with. It is a vile, dangerous and destructive disorder. When the blood becomes infected with its virus the mouth and throat ulcerate, hair and eye brows come out, glands in the neck and groin swell, copper-colored spots appear on the flesh, and in severe cases sores break out on the body, the finger nails drop off and the sufferer is diseased from head to foot. S. S. S.' is the only known antidote for Contagious Blood Poison the one remedy that is able to get to the root of the disease and force out every particle of the poison so that there are never any signs of its return. It is purely vegetable, made entirely from roots, herbs and barks of known curative value. Instead of leaving bad after-effects as some medicines do, S. S. S. tones up every part of the system and puts every part of the body in perfect health. It will also remove any lingering effects of former mineral treatment while eradicating the poison from the circulation.

V By this Judge Long means that any railroad corporation violating the rate law is subject to criminal action, and he has Instructed the grand Jury to report on the matter. The law is ef fective, he said, until set aside by the proper tribunal, which is the superior and the supreme courts of North Caro lina, and the supreme court of the I'nited States. The Grand Jury.

(By Leased Wire to The Times.) : Washington, July 8. In connec tion with the announced movement of the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific coast to form, temporarily, at least, a greater Pacific fleet, the present weakness of t:ie American navy in ' the Pacifific is emphasized. The Pa cific fleet as shown by a statement compiled by the navy department today, consists of but one battleship and four protected cruisers on the. Pacific coast and four armored cruis ers and six protected cruisers on the Asiatic station, aside from a number of gunboats which are obsolete for the most part, on the Philippine sta tion. Aside from these, there are two new armoted cruisers nearlng completion, both at San Francisco. The Pacific Fleet. The organization, disposition and strength ol the Pacific fleet today Is as follows: Commander-in-chief, Rear Admi ral James H. Dayton, present head quarters Chefoo. First Asiatic squadron, first divis ion, armored cruisers, West Vir ginia (Admiral's flagship), Colo rado, Maryland and Pennsylvania, Chefoo. Second division Protected cruis ers Chattanooga, Chefoo; Cleveland and Denver, Colombo, en route from Atlantic coast to join squadron; Cin cinnati, and Galveston, Shanghai; Raleigh, Chefoo. Second squadron (Pacific coast squadron), Rear Admiral William T. Swinburne, commanding; head quarters, Mare Island. Third division, protected cruisers Charleston, Portland; Chicago, In dock at Bremerton; Milwaukee, La Union, Salvador; armored cruiser St. Louis, Montevledo, en route from Atlantic coast to. loin squadron; CERTAIN SAFE THEATMEI1T gunboat Yorktown, Acajutla Salva- making ready to be placed in commission.- Third ..

Sixth division Gunboats Callao, Canton; El Cano, Hong Kong; Qui- Description of the Ships. The armored cruiser division of the first squadron is comprised of four of the most powerful cruisers anywhere afloat. At the time they were placed in commission, from two to three years ago, each was larger than most of the battleships of the navy at that time. The Cliat tanooga and Galveston are also new ships, but they are not armored. They were sent to the Asiatic station shortly after Rear Admiral Brown son took the armored cruisers over a year ago last winter. The Cleve land and 'Denver. -were .-recently dis patched from Hampton Roads for the Asiatic station and will arrive under Admiral Dayton's flag within the next week or ten days. It is senii-officially announced that they will supplant, early next fall, the Raleigh and Cincinnati, which have been on that station several years and which will be brought to Bremerton- for repairs and general overhauling. Today, the Charleston is the only warship that remains to defend the Pacific coast, although the new bat tleship Nebraska, which was com missioned July 1 is ready to put to sea on forty-eight hours notice. She is waiting principally for her offi cers and crew. It was decided some time ago taat the Nebraska would be added to the Atlantic fleet, and when Captain R. F, Nicholson re ceived preliminary orders recently to take command of her, it was pre sumed he would have the honor of bringing the ship around the Horn as he did the Tacoma, when she was brand new, and he and Captain Clark did the Oregon during the day of anxiety la Cuban awters. In stead of that Captain Nicholson will have the more appreciated distinc ton of commanding the first battle ship of the greater Pacific fleet. He will be on that station to welcome tne fifteen other battleships that Ad miral Evans will take around next fall. Captain Nicholson will leave his desk as second assistant in the bureau of navigation within the next two weeks to Join his ship. (iOVKUXOKS OX THK SKXIHX'ti OK THK VLKKT.

Dallas, Texas, July 8. Congressman Hobson of Alabama, believes there will be a war soon between the T'nited States and Japan. In an interview here Mr. Hobson said: 'War between Japan and the t'nited States is inevitable. Japan is only waiting for a pretext on which to base declaration of war. That declara tion may come at any moment. Our navy is Inadequate- to meet such an emergency.. "More battleships should be buiit at once. Even now it may be too late to avert a disastrous sea collision with the Japanese navy because of the dis parity of fighting strength in the Par East, but that should not deter our government from maintaining a firm attitude and from proceeding at once to add two more strong Meets to our naval establishments In the .quickest time possible. 'I fear that the atcion of the mired States government jn ordering the At lantic fleet to the Pacific, waters will be- taken advantage of by Japan as a pretext for precipitating a war with this country.

Experi ments with steel ties, which were be litved to be the solution of the rail toad wreck question to a large extent, have been abandoned by the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company. The company's engineers who were conducting the experiment have made a report. In which they say that there is too much rigid surface to the loco motive In use to allow the steel ties to be used; that there is not a parti cle of "give" to the locomotive wheels, save at the axles or center; that something must give when an engine is passing around a curve, and that the engine cannot be built to create this resiliency, hence the track and the steel ties have to yield. ii in FOR 100 COUPONS FROM THE CIGARETTE OF QUALITY 12 Coupons in Each Package! e Coupons also Redeemable for Valuable Presents Premium Department AMERICAN TOBACCO CO; r JERSEY CITY, N.

By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, D. C, July 8. President Roosevelt will suffer his first loss of a trick in the great game of politics and administration as a result of the senate inquiry Into th? Brownsville matter. Senator Koraker, of Ohio, will reap a reward for his stand against the combined force of the administra tion, headed by the fearless and ag gressive leader in the white: house. The settlement ..of .the'. Brownsville matter will be n compromise that will be approved by the president and the Ohio senator to the end that the negr may thereby receive the greatest pos sible benefit and the racial issue, which was so accentuated by the unfortunate incident. : will be given . a lasting quietus.. In other words,'-the result of this in quiry will be a unification of the war ring republican elements, to the dis comfiture of the democrats.
