the report says that of the pend

have been claimed under the swamp-land

the large quantities of land, amounting to

laws relating to public timber, and an en-.
actment of o general law-p!an, con-
else and unmistakable in its mean
ing. Fewer fraudulent entries have been
made during the year than for many
years past, owing to increased Wig

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Judge Nelson Of tho q. 8. Court decides th
Minnosota Meat Law Uncons titutionsl.

Judge Nelson Of the q. g. Court decides the
Minnesota Meat Law Unconst itutional.
Sr. PAUL, Sept 24-Tne Schet1er law for
the inspection Of meat on tho hoof passed
at the last session Of the leg stature Is de-
cared unconstitutional by Judge Nelson,
OF the United States circuit court. The
decision was handed down yesterday
the case having been argued last
Tuesday. 1t was an action brought before
the court by Henry E. Barber Oh q writ of
habeas corpus The petitioner alleged
that he was restrained of his liberty by
the sheriff of Ramsey county under q war
rant of commitment ISSUED by q Justice
of tue peace, who found him guilty OF q
violation Of the meat inspection law.
Barber, who was arrested and convicted
at White Bear, was an agent of Armour g..
Co., OF Chicago. An agreement was en-
tered into between Armour e. Co. and
several other eastern provision companies
to test the constitutionality of the law in
the courts.
The judge decided the law as uustit u
tional upon the grounds that it is an I'M
limited exercise of police powers and con-
dicts with the powers delegated to Con-
gress for the control of inter- state CON-
MERGE.
While state may pass sanitary laws,
while it may prevent persons and animals
suffering under contagious diseases from
entering the state, it may not interfere
with transportation into or through the
state beyond what is absolutely necessary
for self protection. A state cannot en-
croach upon the power Of congress to reg
ulate interstate commerce to 20 to the ex-
tent of prohibiting the introduction of a
sound commercial comm odity. A state
may exclude any infected article but this
law excludes the sound and infected alike.
Such law transcends tho police power,
for 1t attempts to obstruct commerce,
and if it can prohibit sound DIR essed meat,
it may prohibit the importation and sale
of any commodity. That the law violates
Art. 4, Sec. of the U. 8. Constitution il
IS to the Court manifest and the conclu.
sion is that the law is not q proper and
lawful exercise Of the police power of the
state and is unconstitutional. The nett,
toner was discharged.
