efforts they never succeeded in getting

There the Turkish commander fell dead,

fire of the Turks for fear of wounding the
women.

MANY LAWS ARE THUS LIMITED
DECISION As 1T Is VIEWED by LAW
YERs OF PROMINENCE.
Senators Announce that They VIII
Continue the Fight-What
the City VIII DO.

The opinion of Judge showalter in the
3-cent-fare case arrived early yesterday
morning addressed to the clerk OF the
United States Court. 1t grants the injunc-
ton asked for by the Central Trust Com
pany and declares the 3-cent-fare law un-
constitutional. mainly upon the ground that
il is purely local TO Indianapolis and is SO
worded that no other city in this State
could ever come under its provisions By
the rule Of law thus laid down with regard
TO the Constitution of Indiana very large
percentage OF the general legislation OF the
State and particularly of that applying TO
the city of Indianapolis would fail to the
R' md.
.Then the envelope containing the opinion
was opened the attorneys were notified and
Mr.. Winter prepared a decree in conform
ity with the opinion and this decree was
orde~~d entered upon the record by Judge
after the opposing attorneys had
4 that it was in conformity with Ju5ge
walters opinion. Both the city and the
State excepted and in noting his exceptions
on behalf on the State the attorney gen.
eral entered a denial Of the Jurisdiction
of the Federal Court in the premises. The
injunction is very sweeping, restraining the
city and all its officers and all its employees
and the prosecutor ana all ms deputies
from taking any steps whatever under the
law either to enforce it or to prosecute or
infict any penalties for its violation. AS
soon as the order OF the court was entered
which was at noon, the Street-railroad
Company placed printed copy OF ii in the
hands of each conductor with instructions
TO demand cents fare, but not TO eject
anybody from the cars during the rest OF
the day. This morning. however, the con-
ductors will be instructed TO eject anybody
declining to pay cents
The restraining order is temporary and
subject to review by the court. The repre-
sentatives Of the city will demand a further
hearing upon it and the attorney general
will leave nothing undone in his effort 10
bring the question before the Supreme
Court Of the State. which he believes should
have the final adjudication of IL.
