SUPREME COURT CASES.
Railroad Must Pay for Race Horse
gifs rr.3s.s

The Supreme Court OF the United States
today decideR the case of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company against Hughes and
others involving responsibility on the part
of the railroad company for the loss OF a
valuable race horse killed while in transit
from Albany N. Y, to Philadelphia. The
opinion OF the court was delivered by JUS
tice Day. who stated that the bill of lading
limited to $100 the damages to be paid in
case OF accident. The court Of common
pleas Of Philadelphia held that the contract
made in New York was not binding in
Pennsylvania and awarded full damages
in the sum of $4,000
The state supreme court affirmed this
verdict. and today's decision held to the
same view. The decision of the Pennsyva-
MIA courts was attacked by the railroad
company on the ground that 1t was in vio-
lation OF the Interstate commerce law. Jus
tice Day held, however, that this was not
true. and he added that until Congress
takes action to cover the point each state
must determine its own line of policy In
such cases.
Northern Securities.
The United States Supreme Court today
denied for the present the motion to Dis
miss the case of the state of Minnesota
agt. the Northern Securite s Company, and
postponed further consideration of the
question until the case shall be heard on its
merits.
Question of Usury.
In an opinion rendered by Justice White
the Supreme Court of the United States to-
day reversed the decision of the supreme
court of Nebraska in the case of the Schuy-
Ter National Bank of Schuyler, Nebr,
against George Thrush and others. The
case involved a question of the exacaion of
usury by the bank. Thrush and his wife
We're debtors to the president of the hank in
the sum of 5000, and they gave note for
that amount, with interest at the rate of
This rate of interest was usurious under
the Nebraska state law, and Thrush ask
ed for computation Of the interest, which
showed that. counting the payment of in
terest as the payment of principal, as pro-
vided for by the state, the note had been
reduced to $500 The state court held this
plan to be valid, on the ground that the
case was governed by the state and not
the federal law, .inasmuch as the note was
made payable to an officer Of the bank and
not to the bank itself.
Justice Whites opinion reversed that find
ing and was favorable to the contention of
the bank that the case came within the
purview of the federal law, and that the
interest payments could not be computed
as payments on the principal.
Justices Brewer and Brown dissented

CRED|TABLE DISPLAY
Annual Exhibition Of the
Capital Camera Club,
AN ARTISTIC EVENT
IN THE HEMICYCLE OF THE COR
CoRAN GALLERY.
Almost Entirely the Work of Local
Amateurs-High- Glass
Photography.

The twelfth annual exhibition of the Cap
ital Camera Club opens tonight with a re-
ception and private view in the hemicycle
of the Corcoran Gallery. From tomorrow
until the 18th, inclusive it will be free to
the public on week days. from $50 to 4:30
and from S TO 10 in the evening, and on
Sundays from 1 80 to 400 pm. For several
years ii has been generally conceded that
this club stood for progress, and its annual
exhibitions have come to be. justly looked
upon as artistic events Year by year the
standard of these exhibitions has been
steadily raised until now they may be truly
considered representative of the most ad-
vanced work known to modern photography
No prizes are offered and this year all
the pictures are hung on an equality; but
to be an exh'oitor is In itself an honor.
Artistic photography is no longer nov
city or a suppiicant at the door of Art. 1t
has proved its right to consideration among
the fine arts and has come to stay. The
day when the sun and the camera did all
the work. and touching the button ended
the amateurs responsibility, is past That
WIS but the beginning of artistic photOg-
raphy. The camera still has part to play
but the operator must add to his knowledge
of photography an understanding of values
of light and shade and of composition. He
must be able to the painters language
as well as his own.
There is a wide difference between the
old-fas hioned, clear-cut, mechanical print
and an artistic photograph The one was
merely faithful. accurate witness, while
the other is the expression of an individual
thought or feeling. The first has no place
in art, whereas the latter is a coherent part
of 1t. The signature on an old painting
presumably a master piece. dscredits rath-
or than establishes its authenticity. True

Most of the specimens of the Dutuit

or false, the picture is judged by the I'M
mistakable personality which indivdualiZes
each painters work as plainly as 1t does
his handwriting. Some men, to be sure
paint alike just as others write alike, but
an expert or a familiar friend will rarely
confuse their products. Wherever there is
opportunity for individual expression this
personality appears, and the widening scope
of photography could not be more conclu-
sively set forth than by the noticeable evi.
dence of this quality in the collection of
prints constituting the Camera Clubs

On High Plane.
The work of each exhibitor is hung in
separate group, but were the prints indis-
criminately arranged, SO plainly they
stamped with individuality, that 1t would
require little genius to be able to say with
confidence and correctness, This and that
are the work of the same man" What
this quality is would be difficult to explain
