MAIL MESSENGER IS
PLACED ON TRAIN AGAIN
Improves Service on Brancf
Road-New Ruling on
Rural Routes

Through the action Of Senators l..
Heisler BAH and ]. Frank Alice and
Congressman Houston. the mail mes
.senger who was removed from the
early morning train between Lewes
and Harrington. has been restored.
Without a mail messenger on this
train it was Impossible to receive let
ters i'm this city from points between
Harrington and Lewes until 11.22
O'Clock. With the messenger on the
first mail arrives az 1903 o'clock.
The Postofice Department has also
put into effect a new ruling regarding
newspapers on rural delivery routes.
When the routes were established a
number Of the rural carriers became
agents for different newspapers and
sold them to patrons on the routes.
The papers were sent to the rural car
riers through the mails and the usual
postage Of one cent a pound paid by
the newspaper Offices from which they
were sent. The new ruling is that the
postage on these papers expires when
they are del&ered at the office from
which the rural free delivery route
starts and If the. rural carriers insists
upon serving newspapers they must
pay an additional postage OF one cent
per pound or we viii not be allowed
to handle the newspapers. In most
cases the newspapers have paid the
additional postage and thus are pay
ing postage twice on the same bundle
Of newspapers. In case the man on
the route subscribes for the paper di-
rect to the office and it is sent i'm a
separate wrapper IL will go 70 its
destination on one postage. II is ex-
lpected that the matter will be brought
10 the attention Of the Postoffice De-
partment and a change in the ruling
asked.

SUPREME COURT
DEALS A DEATH
BLOW TO TRUSTS
In Dissolving Northern Secu-

Has Been Established

The Minority Contends That the
Ownership Of Stocks by the State
Corporations Cannot Be Regulated as
Interstate con,nero..

Corporations Cannot Be Regulated as
Interstate commercs.
Washington. March l5.-The Supreme
Court yesterday decided the Northern Sc
curl'ies case IN favor Of the government
and against the company.
Merging Of two competing lines Of rail-
roads Is declared to be Illegal. and the
consatutionaiity Of the antitrust law is
affirmed, beyond the possibility Of ques-
ton.
This action OF the court Is the most inn
portant. IN an It's bearings. tnat has ever
been taken by the highest tribunal in the
land. it settles the question Of trust reg
ulation IN behalf of the general public
and with one blow. dcmolisnes the power
Of the combinations to control trade ana
stino competition.
The principles OF law applied n the case
under consideration govern an combina-
tions which have the effect OF restrain
Ing trade, and place an the trusts under
the control Of law already upon the stat
ute books.
Justice Harlan handed down the opinion
of the court -Four Of the Justices dissent
cd from the 1--WE constituting the majority.
Division IN the court was due to a dlf-
ference OF opinion as to the right OF Fei-
eral control Of State corporations The
majority opinion proceeded on the theory
that Congress has right, under tho
constitution, 10 control Interstate COM
mercci no matter by whom conducted.
while the minority or dissenting opinion
was based on the theory that. in the
present case the effort IS TO regulate the
ownership Of railroad stocks by state
corporations and that such ownership Is
not interstate traffic.
ono Of the members OF the court who
cast his vote with the majority enter
talned opinions OF his own. which fact
rendered the division all the more marked
and interesting This was Justice Brewer
who, while he conourred in the result. an.
nounccd In an independent opinion Of bi.
own that he held the view that previous
anti-trust decisions had been more sweep
ing than was Justified.
-Four Of the nine justices dissented out
: right. These were Chief Justice Fune
and Justices White. Pecxham and Holmes
While the victory Of the government il
one OF the law and the people agains
the rnpacity and greed OF combinations
Il IS accepted as a victory for the Presl
dent.
It IS also a distinct defeat for j. Pier
pont Morgan and his theories Of consolida
ton and absorption as a cure for tn,
evils Of competition, destructive rate wars
and endless fights in the stock market
sucl as that which resulted In the forma
ton Of the Securities Company.
