DECISION OF SUPREME COURT Great Northern Railroad Company Loses Appeal From Judgment of Lower Tribunal Assessing a Fine of $15,000 for Granting Rebates. ‘Washington, Feb. 2! .—The question whether the railroad rate law, known as the Hepburn act, repeals section 1 of the Elkins act prohibiting rebates by railroads was involved in the case of the Great Northern Railway com- pany vs, the United States, which was decided by the supreme court of the United States against the railroad company and against the contention of such repeal. The case was instituted in the Unit- ed States district court for the district of Minnesota, which court fined the railroad $1,000 each for fifteen viola- tions of the first section of the Elkins law. The alleged offenses against the law ‘were committed during the summer of 1905 and consisted in granting con: cessions to the W. P. Devereux com- pany on its shipments of oats and corn from Minneapolis, Minn., to points in Washington. The company admitted the concessions and fought the prosecution on the ground that by amending the Elkins act so as to provide for punishment by imprison- ment rather than by fines the Hep- burn law had so modified the original law as to accomplish its repeal and render punishment under it imprac- ticable. The decision was announced by Justice White and affirmed the finding of the district court and the United States circuit court of ap- peals. VENNER LOSES ON APPEAL Supreme Court Decides Case Against Great Northern et Al ‘Washington, Feb. 25.—The case of Clarence H. Venner vs. the Great Northern railway and James J. Hill, which was begun in the United States circuit court for the Southern district of New York by Venner to compel Hill to account for and pay over to Venner and other stockholders the value of their respective holdings, because, as was alleged, these holdings had been impaired by the joint effort of the Great Northern and the Northern Pa- cific Railroad companies in 1900 to obtain control of the Chicago, Bur- lington and Quincy railroad, was de- cided by the supreme court of the United States against Venner. Ven- ner charged that Hill had engineered the merger for his own personal ben- efit. The circuit court dismissed the case on the ground that Venner had failed to show .in his bill that he was a stockholder at the time of the trans- action of which he complained. The opinion was handed down by Justice Moody and sustained the decision of the circuit court. The vital question was that of the jurisdiction of the cir- cuit court, which was upheld. TEN-HOUR LAW VALID. Federal Supreme Court Upholds Ore- gon Statute. ‘Washington, Feb. 2f.—That laun- dries and other concerns employing females in mechanical labor in Ore- gon may not require such employes to work more than ten hours a day in compliance with the law enacted by the legislature of that state in 1903 ‘was proclaimed by the supreme court of the United States in the case of Curt Muller, a laundryman doing busi- ness in Pertland, vs. the state of Ore- gon. Muller attacked the law as un- constitational, claiming that it puts a limitation on the power of contract. The Oregon supreme court upheld the statute on the ground that it is a po- lice regulation and its decision was affirmed by the federal supreme court. Plead Not Guilty te Perjury. New York, Feb. 22.—Counsel for Foster M. Voorhees, former governor of New Jersey, and Frank Coombes, who were indicted on charges of per- jury, pleaded not guilty before Jus- tice Dowling. Right to withdraw the plea or demur to the indictments within a week was reserved. The charges are based on reports tq the state insurance department made by the accused several years ago while acting as officers of the Bankers’' Life Insurance company. Ocean Travel Very Light. New York, Feb. 2,.—First class ‘westbound ocean travel is at its low- est ebb just at present. Four of the big liners arrived Monday with their cabins practically empty.

Decision in Favor of Duluth. ‘Washington, Feb. 2!{.—The supreme court of the United States has decid- ed adversely to the Northern Pacific Railway company the case of that road against the state of Minnesota, involving the right of the city of Duluth to compel the railroad com- pany to keep in repair a viaduct over its tracks in Duluth. AFTER A HEATED DEBATE French Chamber Sustains Govern- ment on Moroccan Question. Paris, Feb. 2,—At the conclusion of a heated debate in the chamber of deputies over the Moroccan situation, In ‘which M. Jaures, the Socialist leader, charged that the government was dragging France deeper and deeper into the Moroccan adventure, eonfidence in the policy of the govern- ment was again voiced, the vote standing 366 to 116. In _the debate Foreien Minister Pichon declared it was impossible to take seriously Mulai Hafld’s profes- glons of friendship to the powers while he wwm®: preaching a holy war and stirring up the tribes that al- ready have been pacified, but at the same (ime he was ready to receive Hafid's emissaries if Hafid abandoned his hostile attitude. Ceneral Picquart, minister of war, denounced the attempts of a section of the French press to represent the recent operations in Morocco as a serles of French defeats. ECHO OF DIVORCE CASE. Augustus Hartje and Others on Trial for-Conspiracy. Pittsburg, Feb. 2 .—Augustus Hart- je, the millionaire paper manufac- turer; John L. Welshons, a hardware dealer, and Clifford Hooe, a negro, formerly employed by Hartje as a coachman and named as co-respond- ent in the famous divorce proceedings instituted by Hartje against his wife, Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, were placed on trial in criminal court here charged with conspiracy. It is alleged the men conspired to blacken the charac- ter of Mrs. Hartje. All the defendanis were in court, Hooe having been brought from the Western penitentiary, where he is serving a seven years’ sentence for perjury as a result of charges grow- ing out of the divorce case. Later Hooe waived the right of appearing at the trial and was excused by Judge James R. MacFarland. Mrs. Hartje ‘was not in court. There is one charge of conspiracy against the defendants, one of subor- nation of perjury and one of conspir- ing subornation of perjury. Attorney Morrow, for Hartje, asked the court for the privilege of consoli- dating all of the charges so as to have but one trial instead of three. Attorney Robb, for the commonwealth, acquiesced and the court made the order. As District Attorney Goehring is a full cousin of Hartje the interest of the commonwealth is being looked after by Attorneys Freeman, Robb and Acheson, all of counsel for Mrs. Hartje. SIX KILLED AT CROSSING Party of Merrymakers Run Down by Passenger Train. Spring Valley, N. Y., Feb. £j—A foam flecked pair of horses tore through the streets of Spring Valley dragging between them a splintered ‘wagon pole and brought to the village the first news of a grade crossing, ac- cident in which nine members of its most prominent families were either killed outright or frightfully injured. The runaways brought up at the livery stable of George Young, from whom they had been hired to take a party of men and girls to a basket ball game at Nyack. Returning the wagonload of merrymakers was run down at a West Nyack crossing by an Ontario and Western express train. Four of the party were instantly killed, two died while being removed to the Hudson county hospital at Ho- boken, N. J., and the other three lie in a serious condition at that institu- tion. The responsibility for the accident is in dispute. The survivors cannot be questioned as yet and the only other witness was the crossing gate tender. He claims that the team was driven through the lowered gates. REFUSED TO PAY BLACKMAIL Brooklyn Italian Victim of Third Bomb . Explosion. New York, Feb. 2 .—An Italian bomb explosion, similar in character to many which have taken place in this city within a year, occurred in Brooklyn when Peter Locato’s music store in Morgan avenue was wrecked. Locato had received many so-called Black Hand letters, but having re- fused to pay for immunity his store was first blown up last spring. In December last another bomb was left on the stoop and the doors and win- dows demolished, Since then he has received several letters demanding money, but has ignored them, result- ing in the third mysterious attack. The lives of Locato, his wife and his three children, who occupied rooms in the rear of the store, were endangered by the last explosion, but they es- caped with slight injuries.
