of of to FRIDAY THE BROOKLYN DAILY TIMES JUNE 4, 1920 14 MISSISSIPPI DELEGATES FOR WOOD SEATED Lowden Wins Four Delegates From South Carolina. Chicago, June Republican National Committee began its contest hearings today by seating eight Mississippi district delegates, headed by M. J. Mulvihill. In their arguments the contesting groups claimed to have been chosen by the regular organization.

Both were reputed supporters of General Wood. The committee unanimously to seat the four regular delegate-at-large voted, from South Carolina. The regular delegation is headed by National Committeeman Joseph W. Tolbert. The seated delegates favor Lowden and the contesting delegation, headed by J.

W. Collins were for Wood. Tolbert charged National Commit(eeman Florida Bean, Republicans of Florida, anduother Republicans from the District of CoCEO lumbia with trying to break up the South Carolina State Convention. Tolbert drew tremendous applause by his demonstration of how contesting delegates bolted the State convention when he executed: a double shuffle and ran down the aisle in the committee room. H.

Hooper, former Governor of Tennessee, was legal adrisor for the defeated delegates. Realignments reported overnight. apparently had given Senator Hiram Johnson a margin of one over Gov. Frank O. Lowden, despite the fact that the latter had gained more votes than any other candidate in the present hearings of contests.

This was the first time in months that the unofficial "dope sheets" kept by political observers showed Johnson leading Lowden, though but few votes have separated them at any time. Major Gen. Leonard Wood continued to maintain his comfortable lead. The present indicated standing of the Republican candidates for the Presidential nomination, exclusive of the seventy-three votes still contested, was: Wood 248, Johnson 167, Lowden 166, Nicholas Murray Butler 88, Gov. William C.

Sproul 76, Senator Warren G. Harding 48, Gov. Calvin Coolidge 29, Judge J. C. Pritchard 22, Senator Howard Sutherland 16, Senator Miles Poindexter 14, Jacob L.

Hamon 14. The Republican National Committee resumed its investigation of contests today with only 64 of the 137 cases disposed of. The total number of contests was increased from 122 when official notice was that the entire delegation of 23 from Texas was contested instead of the eight first reported. Apparently only Wood and will be affected by the balance of the contests, save in Fifth Oklahoma Congressional District, thou where the two "regular" delegates who trill vote for Hamon, committeemanelect, are opposed by a Wood group. In the matter of delegates won through decisions on contests, the apparent score to date Lowden 22, Wood 17, Pritchard 17, Johnson 2, Hamon 2.

Owing to the fact that some of the losing delegates were uninstructed and others were backing the same candidate as the winning delegates, the scores of delegates lost fell far short of the total tabulated as "won." The losses were believed to be apportioned as follows: Wood 26, Lowden 9, Hamon 2. The Wood organization has counted on polling 396 votes on the first ballot; the Lowden people 280 and the John. stonites a modest 254. This survey was made before the contest hearings began. It was apparent, however, that with the present strength granted them A by many political observers, none of them could hope to poll anything like the foregoing figures on the initial ballot even though Wood and Lowden make a clean sweep on the remaining contests.

"Political maneuvering," contest decisions, "outside influence" and "just plain trades" cause such daily, and even hourly, fluctuations in the situation, that even the political observers closest in the confidence in the practical politicians cannot acquaint themselves fully with the changing conditions. So, even reflected prognostications obtained on the best authority must be discounted. Contest hearings scheduled for today included the report of the committee which reviewed the evidence in the fifteen Georgia cases, the twelve Mississippi district delegates and the Fourth Oklahoma District, which went to a sub-committee late yesterday.

SINN FEINERS BURN BARRACKS Destroy Court Records- British Land 1,000 Marines. London, June battleships Warspite and Valiant this morning were off the Irish with one thousand royal marines on board. It was expected the troops would be landed today, when battleships would return immediately Devonport and embark on a second trip to Ireland with a thousand soldiers. The Irish situation was comparatively quiet yesterday and last night. The most serious incident was an attack, for second time in two days, against the Government barracks at the Blarney.

The buildings had been evacuated by the Garrison after Tuesday's assault by Sinn Feiners. The raiders last night, after firing upon the buildings again, burned the barracks and wrecked the Court House adjoining it, destroying all records and official documents. Lloyd in a conference with a deputation of, officials of the National Union of Railwaymen, warned the railroaders that the government would not tolerate the embargo on munitions effected by the railway workers in Ireland. HIGHEST COURT HEARS CITY'S BUS PLEA (Continued from Page One.) mar, is in error in assuming that if the contention of the city with reference Home Rule Act is accepted. there are no limitations to the scope of that act.

"The court is shying at a self-created seeming but really nonexistent spectre," he said. Question for Legislature. "Another error of the learned court below," continued Senator Carswell, "is its failure to recognize the line of demarkation between judicial and administrative executive functions. and its failure, to, recognize that the economic of no concern in passing upon statutory enactments. Whether there shall be community action in a particular field that is affected with a public interest, that is, municipal ownership or operation of a public utility, is a question exclusively for the Legislature.

The legislative declarations of what is affected with a public interest is entitled to precedent over judicial notions or views that point. "That there are many activities that the march of events and teh complexity of community life permit no longer to be an exclusive field for private enterprise. Water was originally furnished to communities by private enterprise, but even in our individualistic of government (speaking from the viewpoint of the court below), has long since become the subject matter of municipal ownership and action. Likewise, similar community needs akin to the local transportation need of the inhabitants of a city have long since been made the subject of municipal action and operation in this country. "All the foregoing is developed at great length in the brief filed with this court by the late Edward M.

Shepard case, in the Sun Publishing Company and surely there was no stouter advovate of individualism in connection with Governmental activities than Mr. Shepard, and no man had more frequent occasion to voice the views of corporations, public utility and private, than he had as their counsel, But he was awake to the fact that certain activities in the complexities growing out of the development of community life take on a public interest, to such an extent as to be no longer properly an exclusive field for private enterprise; or that private enterprise may become unequal to the reasonable community requirements in a particular field. This the court below did not adequately consider. Asks Liberal View. "It is respectfully submitted that the courts should view this whole field in a liberal spirit and give full recognition to the existence new complexities that grow out of the congestion of great numbers of people in municipalities like New York City and the peculiarly trying problems that arise therefrom.

The courts should not project themselves, except where the city assumes to act in a field where clearly by no reasonable view is the subject matter affected with a public interest. "Another statement that has crept into the opinien of Justice Blackmar challenges attention the lines of this plaintiff are under pressure of economic conditions makes for particular. solicitude on the part of the courts. The court cannot in this case go into whether there are any financial difficulties connected with the plaintiff. Its affairs are in its own hands.

If it may, it is just as fair to assume the public side 88 the company'9 side, which is that this company's financial exploitation and conduct in the course of its corporate furnishes in whole or in part the true explanation of any difficulties on such a score, and that prevailing economic conditions are not chief. but only a negligible factor." The Court of Appeals who heard the appeal included Presiding Judge Hiscock and Justices Andrews, Pound, Collin, Chase, Cardozo and Crane. BOYS DISCHARGED. Hicksville, June 3.

The speed with which Ambulance Surgeon Joseph Musante, of Mary Immaculate Hospital, Jamaica, reached Miss Margaret Nellis, 26, of 4484 Chichester avenue; Richmond Hill, after she had drunk a solution of bichloride of mercury, may result in the saving of her life, it was said at hospital today. Miss Nellis drank the poison in her home with suicidal intent, the Richmond Hill police because of grief at the death of her mother five weeks ago. "She was all I had to live for and want to with her." they quote the young woman as saying.

The girl's maternal affection apparently overshadowed that which she held for a young man to whom she wag soon to be married, for while he was calling at her home last night that she excused herself, went bathroom and drank about fourth of the contents of a bottle of liniment which she had obtained for a sore foot. "Wild Bill" Wegebauer, head chauffeaur of Mary Immaculate Hospital, with Dr. Musante, answered a hurry call at record speed, and, with scarcely less haste, the patient was rushed to the hospital. On the way, Dr. Musante administered injections of drugs to counteract the effect of the poison.

As a result of the prompt treatment, it is believed the poison may not take fatal effect. Inquiry from the druggist who had filled the prescription for the liniment confirmed the fears that the poison really was bichloride of mercury. After the death of Mrs. uncle and an aunt came from their home in Sulivan County, N. to live with her daughter, but she could not be reconciled led to the loss of her mother.

Miss Nellis' uncle said the family has been singularly unfortunate. Six of its members have died within the past two years. A cousin of Miss Nellis was killed in action in France, while a member of the A. E. F.

R. R. TO FIGHT BILL FORCING FARE REDUCTION (Continued from Page One.) camps on Long Island, revenues from war business this year have been negligible, and up to the present time this substantial loss has not been wholly offset by new or increased business. The war business continued more or less until September, 1919, Equipment Cost Greater. "The cost of maintaining equipment on the Long the first five months 1920 was greater by over $500,000 than for the same period last year.

Likewise transportation penses on the Long Island between June 1 of this year have increased over $700,000 compared with the corresponding period of 1919. In addition to a largely increased train service which is being operated this year, we are paying, for instance, $1 per ton more for fuel than last year. Train supplies of all kinds, stationery, printing and in fact all the things used on the railroad seem to be going up ployes' weekly. Further readjustment of wages has served to increase the cost of operation. On top of all this the Long Island, along with other roads, has suffered curtailment of revenues as the result of the recent strike of railroad employes.

with, 'not a theory. We cannot condition we are face to face tinue indefinitely to sell our only produce, which is transportation, below cost. We must provide additional motive power and cars to serve the traveling public adequately. We cannot do this from revenues which are insufficient to even meet operating expenses, taxes and interest on bonded indebtedness. In order to perform good, reliable service to the public, and also carry out the improvements of various kinds demanded by the ditferent communities on Long Island, and actually necessary for a growing territory, it is certainly reasonable that we should be permitted to.

increase our net revenues, and thus strengthen our financial credit, for the investor will not furnish the necessary capital for railroad equipment and improvement work unless the railroad is able to keep Its head above water. "Strangely though, in spite of the steady decrease in our net revenues. the New York State Legislature has just passed a measure, known as the Karle-Pette Bill, which was backed by certain interests in Queensboro, which, in its effect, not only alms to destroy the present rate structure of the Long Island Railroad, but at the same time, will still further reduce its earning capacity. "Naturally, the application of such a law would further cripple the credit of the railroad and reduce its earning capacity to a point where good service would be impossible and improvements! would stop.
