Journal of Commerce File* suit for Determination,?Claims statute is Void. j New York. Oct 9.?Suit to test the I right of the government to enforce the federal law of August 2\, 1912, requiring newspapers and periodicals to publish their circulation figures twice a year and imposing other publicity requirements was iied in United Statcst district court today by The Journal of Commerce and Com? mercial Bulletin company, publishers of The Journal of Commerce. The suit is directed against Postmaster General Hitchcock, Attorney General Wlckersham, United States District Attorney Wise and Postmaster Mor? gan Of New York. , The petitioner charges the law is unconstitutional and prays for a tem? porary injunction restraining its en? forcement until llnal adjudication. It also requests that the defendants be required, by subpoena, to answer. Hack of the action, according to Robert V. Morris of counsel for the complainant, is the American News? paper Publishers' Association. The association decided recently to file a test suit and The Journal of Com? merce, Mr. Morris said, in filing its petition has the sanction and co-op? eration of the association. The petition alleges there are up? wards of 25,000 newspapers and pe? riodicals In the country affected by the law. It charges that the law is void because it violates the federal constitution and particularly the first and fifth amendments and abridges the freedom of the press. The law Is characterized as of no benefit to the people or the postomce or any other department of the government Inasmuch as obedience by the periodi? cals and newspapers would not "aid or assist in operation of the postof tice department or in the carrying of the mails or the regulation thereof." MOR MURDER IX AUGUSTA. Motorman Fatally Hurt and Con? ductor Wounded. Augusta, Oct. 9.?Tonight, in a dark spot adjoining the Schuetzen platz, a small crowd of men ran out and boarded a car coming down from Summerville. When they attempted to capture the motorman and con? ductor, strikebreakers, one of them fired on the crowd. Immediately a dozen or more shots were tired and the attacking crowd left the car. On< of the injured men fell over the'back of the car upon the track. The other one, falling off the still moving car, made his way into the hallway of an adjoining residence and fell. The car was stopped nearly two blocks below the scene of the shooting. Both the wounded men, strike? breakers, were picked up by a pass? ing automobile and rushed to the city hospital. They were unconscious. Motorman Prank Kelly will die, but o nductor Allen Brooks will probab? ly recover, it is reported ilnce exam? ination l>y surgeons. None of the crowd of strike sym? pathizers who fired on the two men have been arrested. That section around the Sehuetzen platz, which is just below the lion Air hotel in Summerville, is now quiet.

Eyes of State on Bull Moos?' Party, Columbia, Oct. 8.?The people of South Carolina are watching the "Hull Moose" party, which has organ? ized in this Mate and has opened headquarters in the Columbia Hotel, with a corps of stenographers and officials In charge, preparatory to making a vigorous campaign for the South Carolina electoral vote for Col. Theodore Koosevelt. National Com mitteeman is. Sherwood i>unn, Secre? tary W 1'. Beard and Treasurer L. \V. C. Blalock are in charge of the headquarters giving their personal at? tention to the campaign being launch? ed in this State. The new progressive party of the Palmetto State is depending on its own resources and will not .seek linan cial assistance from the national war chest, which is chiefly kept up by George W. Perkins and Frank A. Kfunsey. The Palmetto Hull Moose are going to draw on their own re? sources and raise the sinews of war from among the local brethren and the recruits which they hope to cap? ture from the hitherto solid demo? cratic ranks. They will raise from among themselves and the people of the State the campaign fund to he used in an attempt to capture the vote of South Carolina for Koose? velt. The "Hull Moose will in a few days announce the personnel of their elec tral ticket and probably the names of the various county chairmen. They propose going into every \county and carrying the campaign right to the voters themselves, and for this pur? pose they are planning a systematic canvass of the whole State and the or? ganization of a political machine run? ning from the county up to the State organization. In attempting to turn the South Carolina voters to the new party Bull Moose literature will be broadcasted throughout the State and placed in the hands of every voter. It is prob? able that this campaign will be re? inforced by speakers who will take the stump in the endeavor to wrest South Carolina from Wodrow Wil? son and the Democratic faith. It is whispered that Bull Mose spellbind? ers may be sent out on the stump in this State to teach the doctrine of the progressive party and to take the light and gospel of the colonel's "confes? sion of faith" into every quarter. Of all the "solid" South none have been more strong in the democratic faith than South Carolina, and the at ti mpl to capture the most faithful of the democratic States illustrates the Inspiration which rules the pro? gressive party. Of course, the Hull Moose is banking on factionalism, growing out of the recent bitter tight over Blease, to contribute to recruits to their ranks and they doubtless be? hexe that they will offer that balm wh.ch disgruntled and dissatisfied Democrats are seeking. They prob? ably figure that they stand the- chance of splitting the hitherto solid Demo? cracy of the State, and they Were shrewd enough to make tlnir party a white party ;ind appeal to the white people alone, thus removing the fear of negro domination. Some peop'le are pointing out that the secretary of the Bull Mose party, \v. P. Beard, was the chief publicity agent for the governor and one of his personal attendants on the recent campaign. They profess to see in this something significant, but the fact that Heard is secretary of the Hull Moose does not mean that it will get any aid from Governor Blease. On the contrary, Governor Blease will lead the Democratic hosts in Novem? ber and is expected to tight both the Bull Moose and the Republicans with all his might. It is possible that if the Hull Moose shows signs <>f accu? mulating enough strength t?> seriously endanger the chances of Wilson in this state, that Governor Blease may be asked to take the stump on behalf of Woodrow Wilson and the regular Democratic ticket. He could easily cope with any outaide Bull Moose spellbinder who might be sent Into the State to tswmp it, for Blease is conceded to be without a peer In South Carolina as an effective stump speaker. The Bull Moose headquarters are Boom In the Columbia Hotel, and they are actively entering upon their campaign to capture South Carolina f.?r T. ft. Marriage. Miss Lllller Stevens and Mr Sam? uel M.

T.fVr EXPENSIVE TO BROTHER. BUT* Political Riac Haa Coal Ciiar?e Xearl] t 100,000. Washington, <><t. n.?rha? P. Taft today t?>i<i the >-? -j?.-11? - ?< mmittee in \ eetigattns campaign funds that he contributed |l?t,S3t.S0 to aid in electing his brother president in 19-j8 and that had paid |ZlS,6fS.41 this year toward the expenses of gaining the presidents roaonination as the Republican presidential nominee. Consulting a memorandum bo* k in which he had practically all Item* he ever spent, for campaign purposes, Mr. Taft WSJ on the point of t? '.ling the committee how much the nomina I ttOI in litos had cost him whenCha: man Ciapp stated that the comn Ittee had no authority to Inveatigate the preconvention campaign of th:U year or funds used in the election BOW in progress. Mr. Taft sanfl his object in f;oing Into the campaign was to see that if his brother was elected he should "walk into the White IJouse free of any monetary obligation to any in? dividual, great interest or corpora? tion. On this basis," he added, "I was prepared to go the limit. I be? lieved my brother was admirably equipped for the position. I believe in his integrity, his fearlessness, and I believe no one could bulldoze or use him. The principal thing to be obviated was the intluence on any candidate of any monetary interest." A TIE IN BOSTON. Second New York-Boston Game Ends 6 to 6. Boston, Mass., Oct. 9.?The second contest of the world's series between the Boston Americans and the New York Nationals today went 11 inning* to a tie score of 6 to 6, when dark? ness put an end to the battle that kept 30,000 spectators on the edge of keenest excitement throughout every ir.ning. The Contest will be played Qver tomorrow at Fenway park here. With one victory registered for the Red Sox, Manager McGraw sent out his star twirler, Mathewson, to cap? ture the second game for the Giants. Mathewson had been rested for about two weeks to win the first game he tw.rled but tonight the Red Sox still were happy because of their one vic? tory and no game lost with the dread? ed Mathewson worn out with a hard pitched 11 inning tie game. Tris Speaker, the Red Sox centre lielder, furnished the dramatic climax in the contest where fortune played KCICle favor wLh first one and then the other team. The ninth inning found the Red Sox and the Giants locked in a tie -core ..f B to 5. The Red Sox left? hander, Collins, had been driven from the box in the eighth Inning by a shower of hits, and Hall had bean sent to relieve him. Merkle smashed cut a three-bagger in the IGth in? ning and the home club host was in gloom when he scored on a sacrifice hit. In the fading light it was difficult for the Red So.\ to follow the course of Mathewson's big drop and New York fcltvconfident. Y rkes had been fruited bac^k and the bi? crowd looked to Speaker. The trio of Giant outer gardners moved far alield. Mathew? son wound up and turned loose a fast in-shoot. Speaker gave a wicked swing and the ball was sailing far over Beck? r's head in centre. Speak? er founded first then second and raced to third. The ball was sent in to Shafer. who momentarily juggled it. Speaker hesitated at third, then iped for the plate and slid under Catcher Wilson, who fumbbled Shafer*! nia> throw. That tied the score and the crowd went wild. To make sure that he had touched the plate. Speaker turned and touched th<* plate a pecond time before Wilson recovered the ball. WOULD DIVIDE MINISTER'S ES?
