SIX ROADS ARE ENIoINED
Judge Grosscup of Chicago Renders
Decision Under the New
ElIzins Act.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Judge Grosscup To-
day entered an order in the United States
circuit court of appeals enjoining six rail-
road companies from discrimination against
small shippers in the western territory.
The decision is especially important as be-
ing the first under the new Elkins law.
The government, according to the deci-
sion, is entitled to the Injunction against
the offending railroads under the interstate
commerce act, as we'll as the EllEips law.
The ruling applies to toufteen failroads
which were covered by proceedings insti-
tuted in the federal court.
Six of these companies were defendants
in the local court, the others are under the
Jurisdiction of the Kansas City federal court.
Judge Grosscup announced that he and
Judge Phillips were OF one mind relative
to all the points involved and the latter
would render a like decision today.
The decision, which was given orally,
holds that the government has the right
to bring an action in equity to restrain
railroad companies from discrimination
either by furnishing lower rates or giving
rebates to favored shippers.
1t further declares that while each IN
jured citizen has a right to such relief in
his own behalf, in cases like those under
consideration, the injured persons are SO
numerous and the injury to each is so in
fnitesimal that it is the duty of the gov
ernment to act for them under the power
specifically conferred by the statutes
The Elkins lay is held to be simply de-
claratory of the substantive rights which
existed before and an injunction would lie
under the interstate commerce act
The railroad companies In the local court
affected by the order are: Michigan Cen
trail, Pittsburg. Fort Wayne Chicago,
Pittsburg, Chicago st. Louis, Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern, Illinois Central and
Chicago & Northwestern. Those in the
Jurisdiction Of the Kansas City court are:
Chicago 6 Alton, Chicago. Milwaukee &
st. Paul, Atchison Topeka G. Santa Fe,
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Miss 1url
Pacific, Chicago, Rock Island G. Pacific,
Wabash and Chicago Great Western.

THEIR CLUB is TEN YEARS OLD
Omaha Women Have "A Merry Time I'm
Honor of the Anni-

Ten years ago about 200 women met at
binlnSers gallery and organized the
Omaha Woman's club and yesterday after
noon ABOUT 500 women gathered to cele-
orate the tenth anniversary Of that occa-
Sion Never have the club rooms in the
First Congregational church been SO effec-
uVely trimmed and never in the ten years
Oh lts existence has the club given a
brighter or more enjoyable affair.
me gathering was composed OF members
only, the charter members being distin-
guished by white stars upon which "93"
was done in gold. The program which pre-
ceded the social hour open at O'Clock
with an organ recital by Mrs. Anna c.
Davis and was followed by a representation
OF each department, each being allowed two
minutes. The Bible study department came
nrst' the club repeating the Twenty third
Fsalm In unison. Mrs. C. S. Lobingier
represented the political and social science
department by reciting "Abou Ben All
oem; Mrs A. X. Gault. as Hypatia, rep
resented the department of ethics and
philosophy; the English literature depart
ment was represented by members in cos
tune impersonating different works; four
knights and ladies of the round table rep
resented the English history tlepartments
three famous paintings, represented the art
department; the banners of the nations
represented the current topics department
and then the club history was read by Mrs
8. K. Towne. Letters of congratulation
from former members were read by Mrs.
Sumner, and then the department repre-
sentation was continued. Mrs. w. p. Har-
tord spoke foT the department OF parlia-
mentary practice and presented Mrs.
Cole, the club president, candy gavel;

music department; Mrs. Bryan, on behalf
OF the oratory department gave an eastern
temple drill Mrs. Arthur Brandes gave
French recitation for the French depart
ment and Miss Elizabeth Mccartney in cap
and gown, spoke for the law class.
The club prophecy by Mrs Harriet
Heller was one of the brightest parts of
the program and pictured the return of one
OF the present day members, ten years
later, to the rooms of the Woman's club
and her impressions of the snatches of
conversation and the things she hears and
sees. The department of household
economies came last, represented by four
members, each dressed to represent one of
the four magazines devoted to this interest.
The social hour followed, the women ad-
journing to the parlors where large round
table trimmed with yellow daffodils and
numerous candles in brass holders contri-
buted that element so essential to a really
sociable time Mrs. Jobu r. Webster and
Mrs. e. A. Benson presided and light re-
freshments were served. There was no re-
ception, for as one woman so we'll ex-
pressed 1t, each woman was a hostess and
were no guests to receive.

KING WILL VISIT THE POPE
Edward is to start from British
Embassy When Going to
Vatican.

ROME. April 24.-Great satisfaction is
felt at the Vatican at the official announce
ment that King Edward will visit the
pope, although some arrangement by which
the British sovereign would not have to
start from the embassy for the Vatican
would have been preferred.
The concession that his majesty start
from the embassy met with strong opposi-
tion from some OF the Vatican advisers and
was only overcome through the personal
Intervention Of the pope, who said he would
not allow details to interfere with a meet
ing which he most desired, as he wished
to maintain with King Edward the same
good relations and friendly intercourse he
had had with his mother.
At the Quirinal. where the point is al
ways made not to interfere with the rela-
tions guests desire to maintain with the
pope. 1t is remarked that the Vatican, in
allowing King Edward to start from an
embassy accredited to the king of Italy, a
concession hitherto constantly refused has
created a precedent that may in the future
prove embarrassing to the holy see.

snry in order TO Travel in

ST. PETERSBURG, April 24-special
permits are not now required for travel in
central Asia, excepting certain portions
OF the military defense. Travellers may pro-
ceed direct from any part OF Russia with
out giving notice of any kind. The pass

central Asia as from the rest OF the em-
pire.
The railroad commission Of the finance
ministry has selected a southerly route for
the connection between the Siberian rail-
road and the st. Petersburg -Viatka line.
It will start at Kurgan, east of Chelybisk,
and pass Shadrinsk, Yekaterinboorg and
Krasno- Oufinsk.
One main consideration was that the
bridge over the Kama river may be as far
south as compatible with the shortness Of
the line. A special commission Of the
finance ministry has just completed ex-
animation of the new German tariff law
from the view point Of Russian export in
terests.
1t gave special attention to the German

been poorly fed and sheltered. The spring
has been backward and they are now un-
