Hfllmon Case To Be Tried Again
Attempt to Save the Seals
Sundry Civil Grants.

Washington. Feb. 3.-The case ot
Easton VS.. the state of Iowa was de-
cided by the United States supreme
court yesterday in favor of Easton.
thus reversing the supreme court of
the state. The case involved the re-
sponsibility to national banks of state
laws regulating state banks. In this
instance Easton was president Of the
National bank at Decorah. and he was
sentenced TO five years in prison under
the state law for accepting deposit
of 500 when he knew his bank to
be insolvent. The decision was deliv-
cred by Justice Shiras, who says that
state laws for the regulation of state
banks do not extend to banks incor-
porated under an act of congress.
Lays Down Some Basic Law.
Announcing the conclusions of the
court. which he said were based upol,
principles and authority, Justice Shlras
said: That congress, having power
to create a system of national banks,
powers which should be conferred up
on such banks. and has the sole pow
er TO regulate and control the exercise
of their operations that IL
is not competent for state legislatures
to interfere whether with hostile Or
friendly intentions. with national banks
or their officers in the exercise of the
powers bestowed on them by the gener
al government.
What the State May Do.
Undoubtedly a state has the legi-
innate power to define and punish
crimes by general laws applicable to
all persons within its jurisdiction. SO.
likewise, L may declare by special laws
certain acts to be criminal offenses
when committed by officers or agents
Of its own banks and institutions. But
1t Is without lawful power to make
such special laws applicable to banks
organized and operating under the laws
Of the United States"
That Hillmon Insurance Case.
The celebrated Kansas insurance
case which grew out of the alleged
death Of John w. Hillmon In that In
1879 was yesterday sent back to the
trial court fer the sixth trial. Hill
mons nfew insured In the Connects
cut Mutual Insurance company for
$4,000, and when his death was re-
ported the payment of the policy was
resisted on the ground that he entered
into conspiracy with other to disap-
pear. ETC. Hillmon disappeared while
travelling on the plains with man
named Brown. who swore that he had
been killed y the accidental discharge
Of gun. The case has been in the
courts ever since. The circuit court or
appeals for the Eighth circuit, at the
last hearing, decided the case in favor
of the claim Of the widow Of the in
sured man, but the supreme court re-
versed the opinion on the ground of
error in the trial.

(By William e. Henley.l
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
/ thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable Soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
l have not WINGED nor cried aloud,
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloody but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
1t matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments
the scroll.
1 am the master of my fate;
Y am captain Of my soul.

TOUR OF INSPECTION.
President w. n. Andrews and Party
of Santa Fe Central Officials
Make Trip Over High Line.


From New Mexican
A party of railroad officials who
appreciate the worth of this senti-
ment expressed by Browning, to the
extent that they built the lis miles
of the Santa Fe Central system, and
now propose to extend it to Roswell,
left the capital city yesterday morn
ing on a tour of inspection of the
high line that connects Santa Fe with
Torrance, where connection is had
with the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific system
In the party were Senator w. H.

Central Senator Arthur Kennedy,
president of the Pennsylvania Devel-
opment company, the Dunlavey Mer-

Where Last Spike Was Driven.
The special in which the tour of
inspection was made pulled out of
the temporary station of the Santa
Fe Central shortly after 9 o'clock
The train was in charge of Conduc-
tor l. M. Wightman with Edward
Sowars at the throttle. John Leonard
was the fireman and James A. Nc
Elwee, brakeman
The first stop was made at the
bridge crossing the Santa Fe tracks
just north of Kennedy, where the
last spike was driven last month
Kennedy was the next objective
point. The party left the train and
took in the town. The crossings of
the La Jara and the Galisteo were
then inspected, after which the Pic
ture Rocks were visited. Station
No. 425 which consists of a 10000
gallon water tank and wind mill,
was the next stop made President
Andrews and Senator Kennedy ex-
pressed themselves as much pleased
with the water station, which is
thoroughly modern

smooth rail and excellent road-bed,
until Moriarty was reached, where
the members of the party exchanged
greetings with those at the depot,
and insisted upon M. T. Moriarty
accompanying them on the trip. The
special then pulled out for Estancia,

the town very healthy infant The
railroad shops were then inspected,
the tour including a visit to the car
sheds, where the five large engines,
made Especially for the Santa Fe
Central at cost of 1000 each, are
housed.
From Estancia to Torrance, 48
miles, no stops were made, the mem
bers of the party studying the map

proof-readers and again an inspection u
made for the discovery. Of mistakes
either overlooked in the former reading
or made anew by the composites. When
this second critical examination = made
the news as 1t was embodied in type
metal Is ready for the forms.
Thus 1t can be seen that much Of the
reputation of a paper for accuracy de-
pends upon the care with which the
proof-sheets are read. Though Q work
OF dull routine, 1t involves great respon-
sib.lity on the part Of the persons read
ing the proof. The first place where the
blame II laid for a verbal or grammati-
cal hlunder in the completed news
sheet Is on the proof-reader. There the
editor finds solace for his wounded feel
ings and thus reporters relieve them
selves Of responsibility for errors By
saying: "The proof-reader should not
have let 1t through" II 1t II an error
on the part of the compositor the censor
Of the proof-sheet comes In for the
blame too. because he did not exercise
sufficient care In detecting errors. Take
1t all in all. it Is one Of the most thank
less tasks on Newspaper, and at the
same time one Of the most important to
the appearance and standing Of the pa
per. Then, too, there are certain COM
pensating features which Offset some Of
the Disadvantages and discomfortS Of
the work. The proof-reader comes in
contact with all forms Of language and
is taught discrimination and learns the
use Of English. H
Occasionally women are employed as
proof-readers. but as a rule they lack
concentration and the capacity for pa
tient effort 90 necessary in that kind Of
work. The work demands greater pa
tience with routine than the average

hands Of the linotype operator. This
worthy u not more infallible than the
reporter who writes the copy. The re-
suit Of the work done up to this stage
IL a lot Of hot type bars loosely set to-
gether in a frame Here a sheet of
moistened paper is laid on top of the
type bars. the latter are linked and a
roller drawn over them. The result Is a
rather ragged print of the matter which
the reporter a few minutes before had
drawn from a clicking typewriter and
consigned to the tender mercies of the
linotype man. This print is called the
proof-sheet. It is whisked to the desk
Of the proof-readers. The function of
these individuals is a peculiar one. 1t
Is. In fact. the detection of all the errors
that may have been made in preparing
the copy. The copy or manuscript is re-
garded as the first authority, but the
rroof-reader il supposed to be able to
pick up" any mistakes that may have
been made In the copy. The rule laid
down for the proof-reade- is stick to
the copy as long as 1t Is right and cor
rect 1t when 1t is wrong"
The proof-sheet after it leaves the
hands Of the reader bears on its wide
margin marks unintelligible to the lay
man. To the eye Of the compositor,
however, these marks are full Of mean
ing. They guide him to the mistakes
that have been made and point out the
desired corrections. II letter has been
omitted, or II letters have been trans
posed or any Of the numerous mistakes
occur that are always being made. they
are noted on the proof sheet, providing
the proof-reader has done his duty.

tions desired and II the proof on which
he has been working contains any glar-
ing errors. another proof sheet is gen.
