LOWER TRIBUNAL IS UPHELD Permanent Injunction Granted by Clr- cuit Court of Appeals Affirmed, Separate Action in Each Offense Charged Not Necessary. ‘Washington, Dec. /—The supreme court of the United States has de- clded the case of the Loulsville and Nashville Rallroad company vs. Mar- cus K. Bitterman and others, involv- ing the right of the defendants to engage in scalping the tickets of the railroad company, in favor of the com- pany, the decision being handed down by Justice White, The suit was originally imstituted by the raillroad company in the Unit- ed States circuit court for the East- ern district of Louisiana, which was asked to enjoin Bitterman and other scalpers from deallng in non-negotia- ble reduced fare Loulisville and Nash- ville tickets. That court held the practice to be wrong, but decided that relief could only be granted in In- dividual cases, thus requiring a sep- arate action for every offense com- mitted. Both parties to the contro- versy found the decision unsatisfac- tory and then appealed to the circuit court of appeals for the Fifth circult. The decislon of that tribunal was favorable to the railroad company, the court holding that the wrongdoing was of a continuing nature and grant- ing a permanent injunction. The scalpers brought the case to the federal supreme court, with the Tesult that they failed to secure relief there and succeeded only in getting the sweeping action of the court of appeals affirmed. CASE GOES TO THE JURY Argumerits Completed and Charge De- livered in Bradley Trial. ‘Washington, Dec. ! —The fate of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, eharged with the murder of former Senator Arthur Brown of Utah, is now in the hands of the jury. Three addresses were made by counsel for the prosecution and defense and the court then deliv- ered his charge and handed the case to the jury. Judge Powers of Balt Lake, senior counsel, and Attorney Hoover, for the defense, occupied the momlng session, District Attorney Baker following during the afternoon. The defense laid special stress on the evidence regarding insanity and contended that it was former Senator Brown and not Mrs. Bradley who im- portuned for the fllicit relations; that it was not a case of breaking up a home, but that with Mrs. Bradley it wasg an attempt to secure a name for her children. District Attorney Baker urged the Jury to cast aside all sympathies and to render its verdict go as to show that immorality is not at a premium in the District of Columbia. ILLNESS CAUSES DELAY. Decision In Buck Stove Company Cass Not Ready. ‘Washington, Dec. .—Justice Gould of the District supreme court an- nounced that he had been unable to prepare his decision in the case of the Buck Stove and Range company against the American Federation of Labor, in which it is sought by the plaintift to enjoin the federation from publishing this firm as “unfair” to or- ganized labor.
