WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Inter
State Commerce Commission, in an OF. n
ion by Commissioner Schoonmaker, de-
cided the cases of Lehman, HigginsOn
& Co., of Hum boldt, Kan, against the
transcontinetal lines. Complaint was
made of unjust discrimination in

pounds from San Francisco to Kansas
City, Mo-, and IS cents per 100 pounds
from San Francisco to Humboldt, more
than 100 miles shorter distance, but not
on the through lines to Kansas City.
The Commissiont holds that the lower
rates to Kansas City are forced on the
carriers by competitive conditions be-
yond their control, and the rate
to Humboldt from San Francisco
was not unreasonable in itself,
but lower than it would be except
from these competitive conditions at
Kansas City, and it not appearing that
substantial injustice resulted from the
higher rate to Hum boldt, this rate and
the lower one to Kansas City were not
found to be in contrayention of the stat

The Supreme Court of the United states Re-
fuses to Interfere In the Murderer's
Favor.
WASHINGTON, May 24-The Supreme
Court of the United States yesterday
denied the application for a writ Of
error in the case of Kemmler, under
sentence of death by electricity. The
opinion was by Chief Justice Fuller.
The opinion first recites the proceed
ings in the lower courts leading up to
the bringing of the case to this court,
and says that it is urged in Reminders.
behalf that the Fourteenth amendment,
is prohibition on the State of inn
position of cruel and unusual punish
ment, this being included in the
term due process of law" The origin
Of the phrase 'cruel and unusual pun
ishment" was in the English act of set
Element in 1866 and meant that barbar-
Gus methods of punishment should not
be inflicted. 1t meant that a man
should not be sentenced to death by
torture, but did not mean that the death
penalty itself was cruel. The Court of
Appeals held that the punishment in
that there was no evidence to show that
1t was cruel. The Legislature OF New
York had the facts bearing upon this
question and the court must presume
that the Legislature had devised a.
punishment it thought less cruel than
the former mode. That decision was
not against any special privilege set up,
by the prisoner and was so plainly right
that the co urt would not be justified in
overruling it. The Fourteenth- amend
ment did not materially change the
whole theory of the Governmenta Citi-
zens still remain citizens, both of the,
State and of the United States. The
only change in that amendment fur
nished an additional guarantee against.
encroachment by the State upon the
fundamental rights of the citizens. The
privileges and immunities of citizens of
the United States are protected by
them. Those are the privileges arising
out of the essential nature and charac--
ter of the National Government
The Court quotes the opinion in the
Hurtado case on the meaning of the
phrase, due process of law. The change
in form of death was within the legiti-
mate sphere of the legislative power of
the State. The Legislature of the State
of New York determined that it did not
inflict cruel and unusual punishment
and its courts have sustained that de-
termination. This court can not see
that the prisoner has been deprived of
due process of law. In order to reverse
the Judgment this court should be COM
PEELED to hold that the Court of Appeals.
had committed an error so gross as to
deprive the prisoner of his constitutional
rights. The Court has no hesitation in
believing it can not do this. agCtf

Santa Fe Railroad Clerks Find Their "Su

plus" on the Wrong Side.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 23.-The en-
ployes of the general offices of the Santa
Fe at Topeka are in any thing but a
happy state. On January | last, there
having been no increases in pay Of en-
ployes for some years, some twenty-five
to thirty of all the employees received
an advance. This increased salary was
paid them for the months Of January,
February and March. But in April
came an order from President Marvel
that the pay rolls be restored to the
amounts paid prior to January l, and
that the overpay received by employees
during the first three months of the year
be deducted from their April salaries As
a consequence the employees at Topeka
are in very hard lines and are in any
thing but pleasant state of mind to-
ward the management of the road.
How the order works is shown in the
case of several employees in the passen-
ger department. who had been receiv-
ing $50 month. January their pay
was increased to s45. The order COM
pels them to restore the s45 surplusage
received out OF a salary reduced to $50
month. In other words, they receive
nothing for the work they did in April,
and will get only SIS for the toll of the
present month. Very naturally they
consider the order as an outrage.

A TRUSTED EMPLOYE.
A Kansas City Confidential Clerk Robs His
Employer of $40. 900 and skIps.


Employer of SO. 200 and skips.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 23.-One more
trusted employee has joined the legion
of fugitive defaulters and outraged the
confidence reposcd in him by stealing
thousands of dollars of his employers
money. This time it is Elzo Allen. late
confidential clerk for the Austin Com
pany, an English investment corporation
with Offices in the Security building at
Sixth and Wyandotto streets. and the
amount is $4,000. Although the en-
bezzlcment was perpetratcd on Monday,
May l2, it was not until the following
Thursday, May Il, that the discovery was
made. SO that Allen had three entire
days in which to put wholesome dis.
lance between himself and pursuit. The
steal was most carefully and doliber.
ately planned and was executed with
consummate finish. The only thing
that causes wonderment aside from the
skillfulness of the robbery itself, was
that Allen did not tako $40, 900 instead
of $50, 900, for he could have obtained
the larger sum just as easily as the
smaller. BY considerable maneuvering
he succeeded in having the money
placed on deposit subject to his check.
The rest was easy. 1t Is said he went
away with a woman. His wife and
child are destitute. He came from
Kansas three years ago.
