Process Of Law" b. Chief Justice Alton
3. Parker of the New. York state court
OF appeals. In cOnclusiAp he referred to
the fourteenth amendment as follows.
More and more every year is due

court of which every citizen is Justly
proud, than ii would be were the exer-

Formal announcements Of the trans

nounced by General Manager Wells
that Senator Clarlzs party would start

afternoon that he had as yet nothing
TO give out. II is probable that a for
mai announcement of the change Will
not come from the Short Line until
after the arrival of Mr. Bancroft The
TACT of the return of Mr. Bancroft is
IN itself regarded as sufficient evidence
that the final details have been COM
pleted for the transfer Of the $50 miles

was said yesterday by one Of the san

brought in excursionists yesterday.
Over 500 people were brought in from

have their hands full today.
j. A. Weed and A. II. King have
assumed their positions as supervisors
of bridges and buildings on the Mon

residents of Pocatello.
The Short Line has issued a very
attractive booklet advertising the re-
sorts along the line of the road and
those which may be reached over other
Hartman lines in the Pacific North
west. 1t is just the sort of a book
people need who are planning their

matter belongs to another ministerial
department"
In an article which in official circles
is declared to be inspired, the Novoe

United States government that Rus

access TO Russian territory"
The Novoe Vremya declares that if

thousands of Jews who have left Rus
STA for various reasons would rehock
to Russia in the guise of American
citizens just as they are doing in
Roumania, Bulgaria and Turkey. If
Russia acceded to the United States
wish she could not refuse to grant
something to the other countries and
would soon undergo a perfect invasion
of foreign Jews
The NOvoe Vremya also refers to
the United States restricting immigra-
ton and concludes:
While Russia in no.way assumes the
right of criticising the internal meas
ures of the United States. she, on the
other hand, will not tolerate the least
interference in her private affairs on
the part of Americans
