Judge Zane Refuses tn Grant an Injunction
to Aid Land HOggshness.
SALT LAKE, U. T., April 1S-The Pro-
montory Cattle Company o few years ago
purchased q large tract Of railroad land in
Box Elder County. The railway lands are
the even numbered sections, the alternate
sections still belonging to the public do
main. Through this purchase they became
the owners Of railroad lands or tracts Of
country stretching 20 miles north and south
and Sc miles east and west The Govern
ment lands which are included In the area
foo: up more than 350,OOO acres. John 8.
Houtz and Q score Of others who own large
docks Of sheep, claimed that they had the
right to the use Of the public lands for
grazing purposes and also to pass over the
company's lands to get there. An applica-
ton was made to the district court by the
cattle company asking that the sheep men
be kept of the tract altogether.
Judge Zane refused to grant the injunc-
ton. He said IL the injunction was issued
it would secure to the plaintiff the right
no: only to it, own land, but also the exciu.
sive right to the use Of the Government
land. 1t would further impart great
hardship on all persons driving this class
OF stock from one section to another, in
compelling them to 60 around q tract
thirty-six or forty miles.

knocked down and trampled on in the rush

Tho Kansas Congressman Introduces
Railroad Bill with Very Stringent Pro-
v1alOna.

The Kansas C00gresssuan Introduces q
Railroad Bill with Very Stringent Pro-
viaiOns.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-Mr. Anderson,
OF Kansas. one Of the committee that in
vestigated the Reading strike, has intro
duced in the House . bill which embodies
his views of the Legislation necessary for
securing to the public regular service by
railroad companies. The Reading was
taken as the type OF railway that Is
wholly within one State, and therefore
held to DO free from Congressional legisla-
ton, since Congress had jurisdiction only
over Interstate commerce. The bill was
referred to the Commerce Committee. 1t
is entitled "a bill to declare the duties, on
force the obligations, and regulate the
service Of railroad companies as carriers
Of Interstate commerce." II provides
that the jurisdiction OF State ceases with
its territory. No. State railroad can be-
come u carrier Of Interstate commerce
except by the permission and authority Of
the United States. An old act Of 1856.
which gave this authority, Is 30 amended
as only to include such State corpora
tions as accept the provisions Of this
bill, and all others are prohibited
from carrying Interstate commerce
under heavy penalties. Every railroad sub
ject to the bill, for which private property
has been taken by eminent domain, is made
public highway OF the United States. A
corporation holding the franchise Of col
lecting tolls. or OF operating public high
way AS railroad, Is declared to be Gus
todian aud trustee Of public property, and
bound to maintain and operate 1t for the
interest Of the public, subject only to its
charter rights. The duties and obligations
Of the holder of these franchises are de-
clared to be distinct from and prior to
those Of a common carrier, and their per-
Torrance is enforced under penalties. The
Interstate Commerce Commission Is re-
quired to execute the provisions Of the bill,
and 10 given o corps OF inspectors. In the
event Of failure by . company to run its
regular trains, the Commission 10 required
to promptly investigate the facts and to is
sue such orders rs will secure the regular
service. If, after seven days, the service
is not performed, the Attorney General ID
required to procure the appointment Of a
receiver. who is to operate the road as for
the United States aud may employ the old
force. Companies are given the right to
connect their roads with others and are
prohibited from engaging IN mining or any
other business than that Of carrier and
stringent prohibition is made Of combine
tons Of competing lines or Of rates.
