JUDGE GRESHAM'S DECISION.
UncOnstitutiOnalityo of One of the Sections
the Interstate Commerce Law.

UncOnstitutiOnalityo of One of the Sections of
the Interstate Commerce Law.
Said Judge Gresham in his decision affecting
the interstate commerce commission yesterday
at Chicago:
The commission was engaged in inves tigating
charges OF unlawful discrimination against GER
tain railroad companies, and this court is asked
to aid that body in obtaining evidence which it
is claimed will tend to support the charge. The
subject of the inquiry is not brought here for
adjudication, and this court can exercise no dis
erection beyond deciding whether the evidence
demanded is pertinent to the charge and within
the general scope Of the twelfth section of the
act. Congress cannot thus make a judicial de-
partment the mere adjunct or instrument Of
either OF the other departments Of government.
Undoubtedly Congress may confer upon q
n-judicial body authority to obtain informa-
ton necessary for legitimate governmental pur-
poses. and make refusal to appear and testify
before 1t touching matters pertinent to an au-
thOrized inquiry an offense punishable by the
courts, subject, however. to the privilege Of
witnesses to make no disclosures which might
tend to incriminate them or subject them to
penalties or forfeitures. The prosecution Of IN
action for violation Of such q statute would
clearly be nm original suit or controversy be-
tween parties within the meaning Of the Con-
stitution, and not a mere application like the
present for the exercise Of the judicial power in
aid Of non-iudicial body.
SO much Of section IL as authorizes or re-
quires the courts to use their powers in aid Of
inquiries before the interstate commerce COM
mission is unconstitutional and void. and the
application is dismissed for want Of jurisdic-
ton to entertain il.
District Attorney Milchrist at once gave no.
tice that he should apply for a review Of the
case By the Supreme Court.
The railroad lawyers are jubilant feeling that
they have now virtually established the uncon-
stitutionality of the interstate commerce act.
