Cannot Compel q RaIlrOad TO Furnish Data
As 20 Tonnage, &C. In Carload Lots.
WASHINGTON. April lo.-The Supreme
Court to-day held that the Interstate Com
merce Commission cannot compel a rail-
road 10 furnish data az to its tonnage, ton
mileage, earnings and receipts per ton per
mile on grain, hay, cotton, live stock,
dressed meats anthracite and bituminous
coal and lumber carried in carload lots,
which information il demanded Of the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Rail
way. The United States Court for the
northern district Of Ohio denied writ OF
mandamus to compel the company to
furnish the information and the court
to-day affirmed that action.
The commission Contended that the
data mentioned was necessary 20 enable
il TO make its annual report and that under
the general terms Of the law il was com
petent TO call on the courts for assistance
In enforcing obedience to its order. But
In what way? asks the court. Manifestly
only in such way as the courts had juris-
diction TO give. All powers were given
In view Of that jurisdiction and the amend
ments Of the interstate commerce act were
so framed Specific authority was given
by Congress 70 proceed by mandamus
in compelling the filing OF tarih rates and
in matters relating TO rebates. IL was
clear. therefore, that Congress Intended
TO give the power 10 issue mandamus and
expressed that intention explicitly, and
such power could not be inferred from the
general provisions for the enforcement
OF the act.
without attempting now 20 define the
extent Of that section says Justice Nc
Kenna, we may say il seems adequate
10 enable the commission TO enforce any
order Il Ia authorized to make.

Railroad Rate Legislation.

Teatifying before the senate commit
tee at Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give that
commission the power to regulate rail-
way rates.
ST think the railways should make
their own rates. think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
ness. have never advocated any law,
and I am not now in favor of any law,
which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any commits
sion or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time, while it is done in some
countries, am opposed to it. =
The railway rate is property. 1t is all
the property that the railway has got.
The rest of its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company of its property pro
tanto. It is not necessary that you
should con6scate the property of rail-
road; it is not necessary that you
should cay that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When you
put in rate that is inherently unrea-
sonable, you have deprived that COM
pany of its rights, of it's property, and
the circuit court of the United States
has jurisdiction under the Fourteenth
amendment to restrain that.
I have looked at these cases great
many times, and I can only come to
the conclusion that railroad COM
pany is entitled to charge a fair and
reasonable rate, and if any order of g
commission, if any statute of state
legislature takes away that rate, the
Fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company

THEIR YEARS ARE WASTED
Extravagant Habits Rob Ball Player,
of Benefit of Big Salaries.

Extravagant Habits Rob Ball Players
of Benefit of Big Salaries.
The worst fault Of the baseball busi-
ness is that it teaches young men the
habit of extravaganza and high living,
writes Jimmy Ryan, once one Of the
best. Naturally the players on each
great team are lauded as heroes by
their admirers; the newspapers are full
Of accounts Of their doings; they meet
hundreds of ''good fellows" who want
them to drink, smoke or carouse with
them. They meet "sports" of wealth
and they try to initiate these "sports. -
They spend their money for rich
clothes, wines, costly cigars and dia-
monds, and usually when they are sud
denly confronted with ten days no
tice of release the diamonds are about
all that they have left to show for the
earnings of years. The old-timers were
more reckless in this regard than the
new generation Of ball players, but
there are enough youngsters now
wasting money.
To me it is a sad commentary on the
game to see the great stars of other
days toiling as day laborers. The
greatest pitcher of them all is digging
bitches in Indianapolis; perhaps the
greatest infelder the world has known
is clerking in cigar store at $12 {
week. I have seen him spend $500 II
one night. I find them in cheap sa
looms, on police forces, in city jobs
but few in any established bushes!
and still fewer accommodating wealth
They wasted their years of time OF
| the ball field and wasted the money
that they earned.
| At the end of baseball career tn,
player is usually left stranded In tn
| business world. He gains false ide,
of his own Importance from the cheer
of the crowd-and the crowd forget
him almost as soon as he gets out o
his uniform. He depends upon som
of his powerful friends" to get him

end usually comes with startling sue
denness. The friends that he relic
upon are not 80 friendly to a bac
number as to brilliant player. II
