THE COMMISSION OvERRCLED.
AN INTERSTATE COMMERCE DECISION BY THF
SUPREME COURT.

Washington. Nov. s-The United States Supreme
Court to-day affirmed the decision of the lower
Court in the case Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission against the Alabama Midland and Georgia
Central Railroad companies and others The case
arose out of charges by citizens Of Troy Ala. that
the compani were dsregardng the long and short
haul clause OF the Interstate Commerce law. The
point at issue was whether, when there was coO-
petition between railroad and water transporta-
ton. the roads must first file lower rates with the
Interstate Commerce Commission. and II was de-
cided in the negative by the Court. The opinion
was delivered by Justice Shiras.
The roads defended their rates necessary 10
meet water transportation but the Commission
decided against them and also held that preference
in rates should be granted except on authority
first secured from the Commission. The Court to-
day overruled the Commission on both points hold
ing on the first that competition is of the most
obvious and effective circumstances that make the
conditions under which long and short haul is
performed substantially dssimilar. Justice Shiras
said. however. that the decision was not intended
to relieve common carriers from the restraints of
the third and fourth sections Of the law. but that
its purport was that these sections are mot so
stringent and imperative as to exclude in all cases
the matter Of competition in determining the ques-
lions Of undue and unreasonable preference" on
the other point, AS 10 whether railroad companies
be relieved from the operations of the long and
short haul clause OF the Interstate Commerce act
without first invoking the consent Of the Commits
pose that Congress Intended TO forbid common car
riers in cases where the circumstances and COndi-
tons are substantially dssimilar from making diff
ferent rates until and unless the Commission shall
authorize them 10 do So This opinion in line
with the decision Of the Circuit Court OF Appeals
for the With Circuit. which therefore affirmed.
Justice Harlan disoented from the opinion,
marking that II went far toward defeating the OBJ
jects Of the Interstate Commerce law adding: 1T
not only mnimizes the power OF the Interstate
Commerce Commss far below the intention Of
Congress with reference TO IT. but it puts into the
hands Of the railroad companies the power
arrange the transportation business of the country
TO destroy the business Of intermediate points"
The case Of Baldwin against the Commissioners
OF Washington County, Maryland, dismissed
for want Of jurisdiction. The case involved the
Maryland inheritance tax law.
After It's session next Monday. the Court will take
its Thanksgiving recess for two weeks

NOT 4 CASE FOR THE POLICE.
INCONVENIENCE CAUSED BY A DELAYED REMIT
lance AIRED AT HEADQUARTERS

Two we-dressed young men called at Police
HEADQUARTERS last night and asked for the help OF
the police one Of the said his name was
Ring and that he rich German who had
travelled extensively. The other said his name
was Pritchard, and that his father was wealthy
citizen OF Los Angeles. Cal
Pritchard told the police that he LEFT New-York

coast OF Brazil. but all hands saved. He got
10 Brazil and Joined expedition that started out
10 survey the Amazon to its source. This expedI-
ton also wrecked and the boat containing all
his belongings was lost. He then got to Para
where he met Ring. The hitter paid his passage
10 New-York, on the promise that Prtchard would
return the money from remittance he expected
10 get here en- his arrival II did not await him
and ne asked the police 10 telegraph TO Los An
geles and II they could not hurry IL up, ex-
planning that his telegram had not been answered
Mr.. Ring said he had full confidence in his com
panion and did not wish 10 crowd him for the
money, but as ne must sail or Wednesday to Join
his mother in Germany he would like TO have the
matter, settled. PrchnTd said he would surrender
himself 10 the police II Ring desired, but The latter
would not listen to this proposition.
The police declined 10 take any action saying IT
was not matter Of their concern. Neither OF the
men gave his first name.

EASE OF SETTING Up.

One Of The great advantages Of gas plant for
cooking is the ease with which ii can be set up
even in rooms or quarters not especially prepared
for it. Take the case Of an old dwelling house
or Of two or three adjoining dwelling houses
turned into office buildings. The desirahity OF
having kitchen 10 cater for the clerks may
arise. But it may be that the only space avail
able is some old bedroom, as it used TO be, or
couple of rooms somewhere Upstairs. To put in
coal ranges under such conditions would be awk-
ward and expensive enough; but gas range.
broers. &c. can be packed away snugly in the
most unlikely place, and convenient Kitchen
made out Of what would otherwise be unused
room. This is a consideration which means a
good deal with all the business invasion of for
mer residence streets so constantly going on in
this city and with the remOdclling OF houses ior
business purposes There is need in such
cases. Of planning an elaborate kitchen Just
take any out-Of-the-Way room. put IN your gas
appliances in twinkling, and there Is your
kitchen ready for use. This is only describing
process and Il result which actual experience has
