To Fight for Prohibition

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, Mar. 20
Between two and three hundred pro
hibitionists met here to day from all
parts of the state. Ministers, law.
yers and newspaper men were pres
emit. j. III. Atkinson, of Wheeling,
was made chairman, and Rev. w. A..
Powell secretary. A reporter of the
executive committee was adopted,
mapping out plan for county and
township organization for the amend
ment campaign. A resolution was
adopted that the amendment should
be passed upon its merits, and with
out reference to any political party.
A central committee of thirteen was
appointed, including David d. John
son, Thomas.S. Carskadon and G. w.
Atkinson. An executive committee
Of five, with the Rev. I'll. b. Rohr-
Dough chairman, was selected. The
third party men were reconciled be-
fore the convention began, and while
they declare their intention to nomi-
nate a full state ticket, the matter
was kept out of the convention, dis
appointing many who went to wit
ness tussle. Tonight mass meet
ing was held.

Liquor Decision.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States yesterday decided the case OF
Geo. A. Bowman ct al, against the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
Company, which involves the yalidi-
ty OF statute Of Iowa forhiddiug a
railroad to bring Intoxicating liquors
into that State unless il has been fur
nished a certificate from the county
auditor of the county TO which such
liquor ia To be transported, showing
that the consigneesis legally author.
lied to sell it. The Bowman Bros.
or Marshalltown, Iowa. offered to
the Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
read Company in Chicago five thou
sand barrels of beer for transporta-
ton to Marshalltown. The shippers
did not furnish certificate showing
that they were legally authorized to
sell beer at the place of it's destina-
ton, and the railroad company re-
fused to receive or transport it.
Bowman Bros. thereupon brought
suit to recover ten thousand dollars
damages. The Supreme Court holds
that for the purposes OF its policy a
State has legislative control, exclu-
sive of Congress, within its territory
of all persons, things and transac-
tions of strictly internal concern.
For the purpose of protecting its
people against the evils of intemper-
anca it has the right to prohibit the
manufacture within its limits of in
toxicating liquors. 1t cannot, with
out the consent of Congress, express
or implied, regulate commerce be-
tween its people and those of other
States of the Union in order to effect
its end, however desirable such reg
ulation might be. The power to reg
ulate or forbid the sale of a commod-
ity after il has been brought into the
State does not carry with it the right
and power to prevent it's introduc-
ton by transportation from another
State. The court pronounces against
the validity of the section of the
statute of Iowa involved in the case
and reverses the judgement of the
Circuit Court for the Southern Dis
trict Of Illinois, which was in favor
in the railroad. Mr. Justice Harlan
read for himself and for the chief
Justice and Justice Gray long dis
senting opinion maintaining the right
of State to protect the health, NOR
ais, peace and good order of its citi-
zens by prohibiting the bringing OF
Intoxicating liquor into it from other
States.

isterial education was submitted and
adopted A board of trustees was

port of the lay delegates stated that
it was matter of great regret that

ficiencies annually occur. The re-
port ascribed the state of affairs to
the illiberality of the stewards and
their lack Of appreciation Of the du-
ties incumbent upon them in this i'm

HEATING CARS BY STEAM,---The b.
& O. railroad have been testing two
systems of heating on two local
trains Nos. 65 and &C. The first
method is that of allowing a natural
flow of air into reservoir in the en-
CINE, where it is superheated by
steam in tubes. 1t is then forced
through the train. The other plan
is that of simply generating steam
and distributing it through the train
by means of coils of tubing. Both
plans were designed by A. j. Crom-
we'll, superintendent of motive power
at Mount Clair, where the cars were
fitted up. Manager VIM. A. Glenn
ents thinks either plan will do the
work and the only trouble will be to
decide which is the best. The test
will be continued through this
month.
