RATE CASES
Decisions OF Federal supreme Court on
Long and short Haul Cases

Washington, April SIN the United
was handed down by Justice White IN
various cases involving the long and
short haul clause of the Interstate
law. The principal opinion
was rendered In the case of the East
Tennessee and Georgia Railroad Com
pany, and the charge was to the eff
feet that a lower rate was charged on
freight carried to Nashville than was
charged on freight to Chattanooga, the
distance to the first point being greater
than to the latter.
The decisions OF the Interstate COM
merce commission, the circuit court and
the circuit court of appeals were all
a~ntagonistic to the railroad
though on different grounds. The
opinion handed down today reversed
all these decisions and was in favor Of
the railroad company, though without
prejudice. The decisions in the other
similar cases were on the same lines.
Two OF the Olher cases decided were
proceedings against the Clyde Steam
ship Company. while the fourth was
gains the Western Atlantic Railroad
Company.
In the last case. the charge of dis
elimination was made with reference
to the rates from Cincinnati to Atlanta
as against other places on the line of
the road between the two points, in
Guiding Marietta, Gainesville, Kings
ton. Adairsville and Calhoun. In one
or the Clyde cases rates on the Geor-
gia railroad are involved and in the
her case rates on the West Point and
Western railroad of Alabama.
In his opinion in the East Tennessee
case Justice White said that the decis-
ion of the circuit court was not in ac-
cord with the finding of facts by the
commission. The decision of the su-
preme court was that the decree Of
the circuit court Of appeals should be
reversed. with costs. and the case re-
manded to the circuit court, with in
structions to set aside it's decree adj

plication made for hat purpose, with

possible at the state department that
the CIRCUMSTANCES to which Mr.. Squires
refers occurred prior to the receipt in
Pekin of the last Russian note and that
the trouble may have been adjusted
subsequently. The state department
maintains an attitude of doubt and ex-
pectancy, and is not yet prepared to

countries, either limited or complete.

THE COMMISSION NOW ENGAGED IN IT'S
CONSTRUCTION.
ENTIRE SPOONER AMENDMENT
Cabled to the Commission Upon Pas
sage of the Army Bill with Instruc-
ton to Prepare q Plan of Government
in Accordance Therewfth-Judge
The President to Exercise Supreme
Authority Through the Secretary OF
War.

Washington, April S.-The cablegram
ment Of civil government is in accord
with information already made public
here that the new Philippine govern
ment will be established about July 1st.
The Philippine commission during its
trip through the islands, devoted pri-
governments. has been hard at work
preparing a plan of government for the
Islands as a whole.
Immediately upon the passage of the
army appropriation bill the entire
Spooner amendment was cabled to the
Taft commission. and the commission
was directed to prepare a plan for gov
eminent in accordance with the law.
This plan has not yet been completed,
but it is expected to be about the time
OF the return Of the commission to Ma
Mia, and it will be cabled here for ap-
prevail or amendment. There has been
considerable correspondence upon the
subject since the adjournment of con-
gress and a free exchange of views by
cable as to the best form Of govern
O ~A< " ~ SAAoA NC opC IoICu. II
civil government proposed will not be
very elaborate. but sufficient to meet
the present requirements.
q Taft. it is understood, is to
be The governor of the islands,, but It
will be necessary to have some one in
Washington to act as the medium of
communication between the president
n h governor. There will be q
great deal of business with which the
rrnCi1nnt --l@- L.---c ~-l
some cabinet officer will be Sc
lected to have charge of the Philippines
as we'll as other insular affairs.
Authority over the Stands probably
will be exercised by the president
through Secretary Root, as the secre-
tary already is familiar with most
everything that pertains to the govern
mental machinery of the islands. More
than this. the law specifically asserts
that military as well as civil and jul
dicial powers shall be exercised in the
islands. and it is not believed feasible
to divide the responsibility, as for many
years to come there must no doubt be
joint action by the civil and military
authorities. and for the present al
least they must be closely allied.
The fact that the actual control q
the islands will remain in the war de.
partment does not mean that Gov
erno Taft will have his power cur.
tailed. Necessarily the president will
remain the court of last resort fol
everything relating to the islands, bur
the governor and his council will exer,
else the broadest authority, and much

military encouragement and the Taf
commission is expected to be settled by

thought necessary. The general belle
expressed here is hat the governor anc
council will be about all the govern
ment necessary.

TRAMPS On THE waRpATH
A Family Driven from Home and the
House Rified

Littlemountain. o. April 5.-A large
posse OF farmers all armed with shot
guns and accompanied by dogs. today
searched the sugar country for three
men who late last night riddled the
house OF John Lemon with bullets.
While the Lemon family were enter
tanning some n~eighbors three men. up
posed to be members OF the gang hat
robbed the Chardon bank Wednesday
night, raped at the door and asked
for food and drink. Upon being refus-
ed the strangers drew reyolyers and
began to fire rapidly into the house.
One bullet ripped through Lemons
coat his arm and his body.
More shots were fired in rapid success
sion. the bullets crashing through doors
and windows, breaking pictures and
lamps. Lemon and his guests were
unarmed and all beat a hasty xxi by
a rear door. ciambering over fences
and through fields to a n~eighboring
house.
At day break, Lemon returned TO his
house to find his household effects
turned topsy-turvy and 500, all the
money he had, missing. Meanwhile
the country for miles around had been
aroused and farmers turned out with
their dogs and guns. Subsequently
many Of the rme who joined IN the
search for the marauders returned 10
their homes without having found any
trace of the trio. 1t is feared the men
have escaped.

TO ASSASSINATE LOUBET
French Detectives Claim to Have Dis
covered Such a Plot

London, April S.-A dispatch to The
Evening News from Paris says that the
French detectives were privately in
formed of a projected attempted to as
sassinate President Loubet during his
coming trip. Extraordinary precau-
ton has been taken everywhere, and
the usual police protection has
beeen doubled. Outsiders have
been excluded from the railroad sta
tions. Ten thousand soldiers have been
detailed to maintain order during the
presidents stay at Nice, and stringent
orders have been issued to vigorously
ppr the slightest hostile demon
Stration.
President Loubet is inclined to laugh
at the detectives e that an attempt
will be made upon his life.
Nice, April S.-President Loubet'S
visit to the Mediterranean coast opened
under excellent auspices. A vast con-
course gathered early in the morning
to await President Loubet'S arrival.
The presidents reception by the spec
tators was most warm. The cheering
was unceaSing for the president and
for the republic. The usual receptions
were held at the prefecture, where the
consular, military, municipal and rellg-
ious bodies, through their representa-
tives, delivered short addresses, which
the president replied to. The utter
ances on o sides were without espe-
cial significance.
The presidents visit to Nice is mere
ly a prelude to the more important
fetes at Toulon, where he will arrive
Wednesday afternoon, on board a war
ship, being escorted from Villefranche
by the French squadron.

OF the court Of errors and appeals in
the case brought by minority stock
holders Of the American Smelling and
Refine Company to enjoin the pur-
chase of the property Of NJ. Guggen-

awaited with great interest by corpor-
alton lawyers N it is considered most
important as affecting corporations il
New Jersey
The Importance of the opinion lies in
the construction placed by the court
on the forty-eighth and forty-ninth
sections OF the general corporations act.
Vice Chancellor Stevens held the court
could not go behind the decision Of the
board of directors as to the value of
property to be purchased by the issu-
ing Of stock. The court OF errors or the
contrary. holds that it must be clearly
shown that the value of such property
is at least reasonably near h price
to be paid and that the action of the
directors is subject to review at the in
stance of any stakeholder who consid-
ers himself aggrieved.

that the manifesto which AguinaldO

1t appears that the majority of the
Filipinos in Manila distrust Aguinaldo
and dislike to see him accorded special
favors. They say he ought to be Sc
verely punished.
General Sandico, a former member OF
Aguinaldo's cabinet. has surrendered tc

NEW RAILWAY CORPORATION

New York. April S.-The Mail and
Epress ays
From people close to Messrs. James

learned today that there is ground for
h story that a new corporation is be-
ing considered for the purpose of car
rying a controlling interest in the
stocks of the larger railroad companies,
which some have styled the new trans
continental system.
This new corporation, if formed,
would hold shares Of the Northern Pa
cifc. Burlington. Erie and possibly the
st Paul and Great Northern. 1t is not
yet settled whether the debentures of
the new company would be issued
against the underlying securities, but
this is considered likely. This is the
method pursued in the case of the rail-
o securities company, which was or
