INDIANA'S GRETNA GREEN
GOVERNOR DURBIN y SECRETARY
WILSON INVESTIGATED.
Luxurious ParIors Fitted Up
I'm JenersonviIIe officials
May obey the Law.

Col. Charles f. Wilson, Governor Dur
bins private secretary, returned from
Louisville yesterday and Governor Durbin
will return this morning. Colonel Wilson
and Governor Durbin took occasion while
I'm Louisville TO make a trip TO Jefferson
VILE to quietly investigate the Gretna
Green OF southern Indiana.
"Governor Durbin and / went TO Jeffer-
sonviIle Tuesday night and made a little
investigation OF our own TO ascertain to
what extent the Clark county clerk has
obeyed the instructions from Governor
Durbin and Attorney General Taylor re-
garding the marriage evil I'm that county, y
said Mr.. Wilson. I'VE did not see the
clerk. but we talked with several citizens
and the marshal OF GAINESVILLE. where most
OF the marriages were solemnized. We
learned that the county officials are issuing
licenses TO only such couples as are en-
titled TO them under the law. and the re-
ceipts of the county clerks office have been
reduced considerably.
In Jacksonville and GAINESVILLE there
are several deliberately furnished rooms
with gilt letters on the windows indicat-
ing that they are used for marriage par
iors. One man who has thrived In the
business in Jacksonville built a fine brick
building and furnished a suite OF rooms
for weddings. The stairway Is handsome
~ cerpeted. They have been doing things
I'm fine style there.
1.-The marshal OF GAINESVILLE told me that
n couple came TO that town from Louis
Vile not long ago To get married. The
woman asked the marshal n he knew the
dub she was COINS TO marry. She then
t6ld the marshal that she had met the man

fore they secured the license, but they
were married. But such cases as that one
and clipping couples will have TO find an
other Gretna Green, as we believe the
Clark county officials Will grant licenses
hereafter 10 only those who are entitled TO
them"

He was taken to headquarters and

STOCK YARDS WIN
Kansas City Company Turns
Out Victorious
IN THE SUPREME COURT
Statute of Kansas Is Declared
Unconstitutional.

Washington, Nov. 25.-In an opinion
handed down today by the United States
supreme court the case of Getting &
IIigginson against a. a. GODDARD. attor-
ney general of Kansas and the Kansas
City Stock Yards company. involving the
the validity of the state law of Kansas,
empowering the state authorities to fix
rates Of charges on stock in stock yards
in that state. The decree of the circuit
court, which upheld the law, was re-
versed.
Getting & Higginson were stockholders
in the stock yards company and soon
after the law went into effect, in 1897,
filed bill in the United States circuit
court for the district of Kansas against
the company and its officers and Louis {.
Boyle. then attorney general of the state
OF Kansas, to restrain the officers of the
company from complying with the act,
and the attorney general from enforcing
its provisions, on the ground that its
compliance or enforcement would deprive
the company of its property without due
process of law. 1t was also contended
that the act was class legislation.
The circuit court dismissed the bill Of
complaint and an appeal was taken to
the supreme court.
Justice Brewer handed down the opin-
ion of the court today. He did not state
in detail the reasons for the courts de-
cision, but merely announced the result,
saying:
The decree Of the circuit court in this
case is reversed, with costs, and it is or
dered that this cause be and the same
is hereby remanded to the said circuit
court, with directions to enter a decree
in favor of the plaintiff and against the
Kansas City Stock Yards company and
its officers in accordance with the prayer
of the bills, and also a decree dismissing
the suit as to the attorney general of
Kansas, without prejudice to any fur
Their suit or action
The entire court concurred in the de-
cree, but not in all Of Judge Brewers
reasoning. Justices Harlan. Gray, Shi-
ras, Brown, White and McKenna united
in the following statement:
I'VE assent to the judgment Of the re-
versal SO far as the merits of the case
are concerned, upon the ground that the
statute in question is in violation of the
fourteenth amendment Of the constitu-
ton of the United States, and that it
applies only to the Kansas City Stock
Yards company and not to any other
companies or corporations engaged in
like business in Kansas, and thereby
denies to that company the equal pro-
lection of the laws. Upon the question
whether the statute is unconstitutional,
upon the further ground that by the
necessary operation, it viii deprive that
OF its property without due
process of law, we deem it unnecessary
to express an opinion"
1t was claimed in behalf of the stock
yards company that the enforcement of
the law would have had the effect Of
the receipts OF the company one
