held, Although an Interference Of
Interstate Commerce.
Washington. April 23.-The United
States supreme court has denied the
application of former Captain Oberlin
M. Carter to be admitted TO bail.
The court contented itself with a
bare announcement made by the chief
justice of the result of its delibera,
tons. No reasons were assigned and
no reference was made to Carter's
motion to strike Solicitor General
Richards brief from the files of the
court.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the
final adjournment of the court for the
term on the 9th of May. The call of
the docket will be suspended next
Friday and the court will take recess
next Monday until May 10. No init
nation has been given by the court as
to when the decision of the insular
cases may be expected or whether
they will be decided at all before final
adjournment.
The attention of the court during
the day was given largely to the ques-
ton OF the right of one state to quar-
antine against another. The conten.
ton arose in connection with the case
Of w. p. Smith VS.. the st. Louis and
Western railroad company, involving
quarantine regulations against the i'm
portation of cattle In 1897. The cattle
shipment upon which this case turned
was made by Smith over the st. Louis
road from Plaindealing, La, to Fort
Worth, Tex, the officials of the road
being unaware that quarantine had
been established as had been done by
the Texas officials. When the exist
ence of this restriction became known
the railroad company refused to de-
liver the stock to the consignee and
reshipped them to Plaindealing. There
Smith refused to receive them, as he
also did the proceeds of their sale.
Smith then brought suit for damages,
contending that the regulations were
an interference with interstate COM
merce and unjustified by the facts.
The trial court sustained this regula-
ton but the state court of appeals re-
versed the decision, holding in favor
of the railroad company. The supreme
court affirmed the latter decision on
the ground that the state had right
under it's police power to protect it.
self against infectious disease, even
though commerce may be incidentally
interfered with by the regulations for
such protection. Justices Harlan and
White united in dissenting opinion
and Justice Brown delivered dissent
ing opinion of his own.

months. The punched tickets turned
in by the conductors are first checked
up at the offices and then burned by
employees. The investigation that has
that many of the tickets, instead of
being destroyed, were saved and sold
to conductors at 81 per 100 and that
the conductors who bought them sub

was done by turning in the old tick

each day, the same number Of good
tickets being retained in the pockets
of those who were in the conspiracy.
