Yesterday (Monday) John T. Car-| ney, a defeated democratic candidate for congress in the Second district in Oklahoma, filed a contest in the house of representatives at Washing- | ton, protesting against the seating of | Dick T. Morgan, the successful can- didate, on the ground that the four-| teenth and fifteenth amendments to} the constitution of the United States | are null and void. | Foolish as this contention seems, | it is to be noted that Mr. Carney has just concluded a term as district! judge in Oklahoma City and is a law- yer of some reputation. Besides, he is in no wise a grandstander, but a man noted for fairness of opinion and reasonableness of contention. It is contended by Judge Carney that the fourteenth and fifteenth! amendments are null and void be- cause they were never ratified by a two-thirds majority of the states of the union. If, by any surprising chance, this contention should be up- held, all the negroes in the country would be deprived of the right to vote until an amendment was regu- larly ratified. As Judge Carney is a democrat and so is the majority in the house, it is evident his claims are made _serious- fy. And there will be an unusual in- terest in noting the manner in which the contest is finally settled.

By Clyde H, Tavenner. Washington, Dec.—United States Attorney General Wickersham has refused to allow warrants to be served on John D. Archbold and other offjgers of the Standard Oil Company, in the case in which the Magnolia Oil Company of Texas, was indicated by a federal grand jury in Texas for criminal violation of the | Sherman law. Once again, Mr. Wickersham -is using the machinery of the great of- fice of the Department of Justice to protect, instead of prosecute, the mil- lionaire heads of illegal trusts. A hundred instances could be cited where Wickersham has, by means of especially prepared opinions, orders and rules, given comfort to the great industrial trusts, private monopolies and special priviledge. It was Wick- ersham, the attorney general, who stopped important suits against the beef trust immediately upon taking office. It was Wickersham, the at- torney general, who rendered an opinion upholding Ballinger and vi- ciously attacking Louis R. Glavis, who said it was legal for sugar trust interests to acquire by the exploita- tion process 55,000 acres of rich sug- ar lands of the Philippines when the organic law of the islands expressly declares that no corporation shall be allowed to acquire more than 2,500 jacres. It was Wickersham, the at- torney general, who sanctioned the Taft administration railroad regula. tion bill, later exposed and altered, containing a joker legalizing the Southern Pacific—Union Pacific mer- ger, recently held unlawful by the Supreme Court.

Mr. Wickersham was a member of the law firm of Strong & Cadwalader. Congressman Henry T. Rainey de- scribed this firm.on the floor of the House of Representatives as follows: “The firm of Strong & Cadwalader is one of these important New York legal firms to which great corpora- tions appeal for aid when they pro- pose to violate the laws of the land or when they have violated the laws of the land.’’ The firm of Strong & Cadwalader, at the time of Mr. Wickersham’s ap- pointment as attorney general, rep- resented, among other great corpora- tion, the sugar trust, and one of the last things Mr. Wickersham did as a member of the firm of Strong & Cad- walader, was to draw down his por- tion of a sugar trust fee of something like $25,000. And one of the first things Mr. Wickersham did at At- torney General, was to write, on June 27, 1909, to John S. Wise, U. S. District Attorney for the Southern District of New York, a letter reveal- ing his strong interest in three. sugar trust officials then in danger of the penitentiary. This remarkable letter the authenticity of which has never been denied by the Attorney General reads in part as follows: “My Dear Wise: Senator Root has sent me the proof of a petitien signed by Bowers Milburn and Guthrie, in support of their contention that the statute of limitations has run in favor of Messrs.

Dr. Friedmann still refuses to give out any of his serum, saying that from a tiny drop of it a bacteriologist could propagate enough of the bacilli to supply the world. Many physicians brought their own” patients, and they closely watched Dr. Friedmann as he inoculated, Dr. Friedmann repeatedly filled a a| hypodermic needle with the serum, taking it from a small vial, which it was noted, he guarded in his waist- coat pocket. Dr. Friedmann said results from his serum begin to show in most cases within five weeks.
