rIMsER LANDS INVOLVED.
Supreme Court Affrms the Finding of
 Mississippi Tribunal.

Washington November 27-The decision of the supreme court of the state or Mississippi in the case of F. H, Hart man & Go. against the Butterfeld Lumbe. company was today affirmed by the su- preme court of the United States, the opinion being rendered by Justice Brewer In the case of Esau Harness. while seek ing to secure land In Lincoln county, Miss, under the preemption laws of the United States, made a contract with lumber company to convey to 1t the pine timber On the land and a right of way 100 feet wide for roads, tramways and railroads. After he had obtained patent to the land he made conveyance to the lumber company of the timber and right of way, and then sold the land itself to Hartman. The court held that although the contract made before Harness title to the land was complete was void under the statutes of the United States in re- speet to preemption, and could not have been enforced by the lumber company against him. yet by the patent he acquired legal title and could sell or give the land away to whomsoever he pleased; that by his conveyance to the lumber company It obtained a title which would be respected by the United States. and could not be challenged by one acquiring an interest in the land through conveyance from Harness after his deed to it. Justice White dissented.

During the hearing 1t was stated that the Toledo manage ment, which had been offered to Kelly, had to be given up because of the action already taken in his case, but he had se ctited an option on the Minneapolis Amerl can association club and his attempt to overturu the commissions decision was in order that he might play ball on his own club. The, case was taken under advise inerit by Judge Thompsoti.

PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE
 ON RATE LEGISLATION
1LR. ELKINS', CHAIRMAN OF SEN ATE COMMITTEE, UNDER
 STANDING OF IT.

No Desire to Vest in Interstate Com
 meree Committee the Arbitrary and
 Uncontrolled Power 10 Fix Rates
 Has Repeatedly stated That Action
 of Commission Should be Subject to
 Review by the Courts and That Rail-
 roads Should be Furnished Legal Pro-
 tectiOn.
 Washington, Dec. 5.-Senator Elkins, chairman of the committee on inter- state commerce, after reading the pres ident's message to-day, made the fol- lowing statement regarding railroad rate legislation:
 "As understand it the president does not desire to vest in the committee the arbitrary and uncontrolled power to fix rates. He has repeatedly stated that the action of the commission in fixing a rate should be subject to review by the courts and that the railroad com- panies should be furnished legal pro- lection against any injustice That be- ing the case, 8 law giving to the com mission power to fix rates should not be drawn in such manner as to give to the commission purely legislative discretion in fixing rates.
 "If those who advocate vesting in the interstate commerce commission the power to fix rates are in good faith seeking to carry out the policy of the president they should be willing to ac- cept a statute giving to the commission power to fix rates substantially in the following tetrms: Whenever any rate, fare or charge fixed by any common carrier for any service shall be unrea- sonable or unjustly discriminatory or otherW ise in violation of any provision of the act approved February 4, 1887, entitled an act to regulate commerce or any act amendatory thereof the in- terstate commerce commission shall have power, after Investigating the facts and hearing the parties affected to make an order modifying such rate, fare or charge so far as may be nee essary to to order to remove the un- reasonabIeness, unjust discrimination or other illegality thereof, and such order shall take effect at the expiration of such time as the commission shall prescribe not less than - days after publication theGeof.
 Amy party affected by such order shall be entitled to institute a pro- ceeding to review such order in the cir cult court of the United States for any district through which the line of the carrier may run; and If the court in such proceeding shall find that the rate fixed by such carrier was not unreason- able, unjustly discriminatory or other wise unlawful, it shall enter a decree setting aside such order; but if the court shall find that such order modi- fled the rate, far or charge fixed by the carrier either more or less than was necessary in order to remove the un- just discrimination or other illegal ity of such rate, fare or charge, then the court by its decree may modify and correct such order accordingly"
 Senator Elkins said he would favor such a measure as he had outlined and believed it meant a solution of the problem that had been agitating the country for long time. This is the first indication that has been given by Senator Elkins as to the railroad rate legislation he would support.

Right of Theater Manager to Refuse to
 Sell to SpecuIatOrs Upheld.
 Albany, Dec. 1.-The right of a thea ter manager to refuse tickets sold by a sidewalk speculator was upheld to-day by the court of appeals. The action was brought by William H. Collister, a ticket speculator, against Albert Hay man and others, composing the firm of N Hayman & Co.,, who conduct the Knfskerbocker theater in New York. Collister sought to recover $4,000, which he alleged he Rost through the action of the defendants in preventing him from carrying on his business in front of their theater. The appellant said that selling tickets was his only means of a livelihood, and that his income from this source was $4,0O0 a year. The de- fendants replied that they posted mo- tices warning patrons against buying tickets from spectators, and printed such notices on tickets.
 The opinion, written by Judge Van, in which the whole court concurs, holds that the proprietors of theater have 8 right to refuse tickets obtained through a speculator in cases where they gave such warning as the above.
