dfic officials have been served with
notice of suit against them by the gov
eminent In the United States district
court at Portland, Ore. to collect pen .
allies for alleged violation of safety an
pliance act passed by congress I'm 1899
and subsequently amended in 1903
Similar suits have also been brought
against overland roads. The act iu
question requires that every train
should have sufficient number Of cars
so equipped with power or train brakes.
that the engineers on locomotives draw
ing such train can control its speed
without requiring brakemen to use com
mon hand brakes for that purpose. All
passenger trains are properly equipped
with air brakes. so the act refers more
particularly TO freight trains. The
Southern Pacific has many OF its cars
SO equipped and as a rule will not take
car from another road coming i'm q
through train unless IL has air brakes
The suit therefore. IL In the nature of
surprise. and probably the first ac-
ton Of the kind brought In the Federal

compel the election inspectors to cor

Mr.. Parker claimed that the court
had no right to throw out any ballot
