several special and Important Charges.
In .reference to the" anU-pass law
thtf court Instructed vthe' jury 'to not

have slnqe made contracts with the
rallroadsand the other companies men
tioned.n the ordinary course of busi-
ness where It did not effect of work
an Injury to the welfare or morals of
the people. ''" '
Jiidge Pope held that the legislature
had no right to interfere with the right
of private contract unless the contract
mfglit be harmful to the welfare and
good morals of the community or the
poople. That-under a construction as
published" In the press the attorney
general's 'office has ruled thatln cases
or wrecKs upon railroads the railroads
could carry assistants to the scene of
the wreck to care f or the wounded-and
make repairs to the equipment but
the perso'hs- so carrled-4f notcimnec-

of this sort are presented'to the grand

NEW OltAKTER RELUCTED
MAJORITY OVER 2000.
CIIICAQOrlLli. Sept 17. The now
charter authorized by the Staid legis-
lature at its last session for .tho city
of Chlciigo wad rejected by tho rotor-4
at today's spdcinl election by It major-
ity of over 62000. .lttio mbro than
half of the registered votes woro cast
tho final flgures (unofficial) shon'lng
59446 ballots for tne Charter and 21f
054 against It'. Tho' total cast was
181600 out of a registered vote of
361908 Th6 light vote was duo to
somo extent to the fact that tho elec-
tion was a special ono and that the
granting of time off for the purposo
of voting was optional wHlf employers
and In tlio majority of cases voters
were obliged to go to tho polls beluM
going to work or not at all.
Mayor liusso issued thq following
statement tonight:
''It. is evident from tho result toJny
that a great majority of the people of
Chicago either do not want u new;
charter or aro not sufficiently Interest-
ed ri a now charter to go to the. polls
tind vote. Tho very light vote pollejl
and .the majority against adoption'
clearly proves .that. 1 think this lp-
dlfferenco on the part.of tho publfc has
been a. .mistake. While the. charter
contained some provisions that were
disagreeable to this that or the pther
special interest or element In the com-
munity yet on tho. whKlo It wa3 a
good thing for Chicago Its .adoption
wouldhavo enabled the Administration
to do many things in tlio way' of public
Improvements wnlch would have .been
of lasting benefit ;to the city nnd Ita
people?' . 4
