VIII Also Die.

It is believed the fire was the result of
some accident that occurred while Rose
Miller was lighting the fuel in the kitchen
stove. The girls screams awakened the
father, who ran downstairs and, finding
her in flames, threw rug about her. She
was burned so badly that she died in the
ambulance sent from the South Side Hos
pital.
Miller dashed up stairs and rescued his
wife, who has been sick for three months.
On his second trip he tried to find Amanda
and Amelia, but they were not in their
room, and, supposing that they had
reached the ground, he jumped out Of
front window. Besides being choked by
the smoke and being burned about the
body. face and hands, he also broke one OF
his legs when he jumped.
The bodies of Amanda. Amelia and Syl-
via were found in the front room after
the fire was put out. The body Of the
youngest child was under the bed. The
two children who escaped jumped from a
rear window on the second floor. They
and their father will recover. Mrs. Miller

BLAMEs THE POLICE FORCE.
COnspiring, Says Annie Foley, to
Keep Her Jailed for Life.

In that calendar of crime, the Police
Court docket, Annie Foley's name leads
all the rest in the number of times she
has been arrested. Time was when Annie
had all the fresh brunette beauty char
acteristic of SO many Irish women. but
whisky has faded her comeliness into the
harsh features of drab.
She's little wire Of woman, with
keen blue eyes and placidly hyPercritical
air. Her father confessed in the bottle.
and the idealism of life to her consists in
one long. uninterrupted barroom visit.
Released from the Workhouse Friday
morning and arrested Saturday night, is
Annie's latest record.
Saturday she went into 4 drug store
and demanded from the clerk that he give
her a rint of ginger.
What do YOU want with all that
ginger, Annie?" laughed the clerk, who
knew Annie we'll. Arc you going TO write
jokes for a yellow Journal or join va
riety show?''
How dare youse insult a rale laydee?"
screamed Annie. 'I'll have ye pinched by
me friend Lcotinint Moore" Then Annie
iuduiged in a wild outburst of profanity
that resulted in her arrest.
After the policeman told the story in
the Police Court yesterday Prosecutor
Pugh asked Annie if she wanted to say
anything.
rs me wor-rud good, Mister Ken
digses?" inquired Annie of Baiiiff Ken

That gentleman told her if she pleaded
guilty he thought it would be.
Annie told Judge Kimball that the whole
police force was IN conspiracy to keep
her for the rest of her life in the Work

STOCK YARDS Law ILLEGAL.
Supreme Court Declares n Kansas
statute Unconstitutional.

statute InCouStitUtiOnni.
The Supreme Court of the United States
today handed down an opinion declaring
unconstitutional the law of Kansas fixing
a maximum charge on livestock by stock
yard associations in that state
The court was unanimous in the rever-
sal Of the opinion to the contrary held by
the United States Court for the District
of Kansas. but Justices Harlan, Gray,
Brown Shiras. and McKenna concur in
this action, so far as the merits OF the
case are concerned. on the ground that
the statute of Kansas is a violation OF
the Fourteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tuticn of the United States because that
law applies only to the Kansas City Stock
Yards Company. and not 20 other com
panies or corporations engaged in like
business in the State. and thereby denies
to the company the equal protection OF
the laws
Upon the question whether the statute
is unconstitutional because II would de
prive the company Of its property without
due process of law. the six Justices named
do not dsCm it necessary TO express an
opinion
The Kansas Legislature in 1897 passed
an act fixing the maximum charge by live
stock associations for handling cattle.
sheep. and hogs, tfOSe rates being about
50 per cent less than those then charged.
The act provided such severe penalties
that the Kansas City Stock Yards Com
pany, the only company affected. could
not it claimed, refuse even for one day 70
comply, so that the consttutionality OF
the law could be tested.
Two of the stockholders of the COM
pany, Getting and Higginson, however,
brought suits against the corporation, and
the Attorney General of Kansas was made
a party to the suits These stockholders
set up, first that under the terms of the
law. il applied only to the Kansas City
Stock Yards Company, that corporation be-
ing the only one transact ng Z business
sufficiently large to be affected, and there
fore it was class legislation.
The second ground was that by reduc-
ing the receipts of the company 50 per
cent the law practically ceniscated the
property without due process of law
