MERGE and congress cannot transfer that
power to the courts. and this provision
being incorporated in a bill that might
not have been enacted without it, is SO
closely interviewer with the other pro-
visions of the bill that the whole act is
and void.
Fears Hostile Course.
Concerning these propositions Mr..
Long said: 49,
eff the courts should take the first
course under such provision for re-
view as is desired by the senator from
Massachusetts, (Mr. Lodge and the SEN
ator from Ohio (Mr. Foraker). no injury
would be done and those who favor this
legislation would not be disappointed,
but if the court should lake either the
second or third course which [ have
designated-and / think that one of
these two courses would surely be taken
then the purpose and object of this
legislation would entirely fail.
"And so, while I believe that this
bill would not be held unconstitutional
in it's present form, for it especially
recognizes the right of review and can
not be construed as an attempt to pre-
vent a review, yet l am willing to place
i'll it provisions that are more definite
along this line. But / am not in favor
of any provision for review similar to
those in the different states to which
reference has been made, because I be-
lieve that such provision would inn
peril the constitutionality of the law
and result in its being declared invalid
by the courts. If provision for a
court review is inserted in this bill that
is so broad as to be construed as impos.
ing the ratemaking power upon, the
courts, it will be done without my

Hill, IS PUSHING

Three Years.

The report from Montreal. printed

President James j.. Hill of the Great
Northern is building thru Canada a
third transcontinental line with which
ITO enlarge his present system OF racine
railroads, was confirmed this morning,
sin effect, by Vice-president Louis w.
IsssHill
The report might be called approx
stiously. "It contains more facts than
kare usually found in newspaper stores
kof that sort. I think it must be the
result of observations made by parties
that have travelled recently thru west
u ern Canada from the coast. They have
noted the different lines under construc-
s.tion in British Columbia and eastward,
and have put two and two together =
No Alliance With g. N.
Mr.. Hill denied that the Great North
ern. as has often been rumored, has any
Interest in the Canadian Northern now
being completed from Lake Superior as
far west as Edmonton, and also that the
Canadian Northern will form part OF
the projected line to the Pacific.

canadian Northern" said he, sis that
we lease it's line from the boundary up
to Winnipeg. But we have already Sc

EASTERN PORT FOR HILL LINE
New Canadian Line to Reach Lakes and
Ocean.

!. Montreal, Que, April 3.-The Hill
road in western Canada will be likely to
! find an eastern outlet by way of the
Canadian Northern railway to Port Ar
thur and the Great Lakes in the sum-
#mer. The Canadian .Northern's east
1 ern terminus at present is Port Arthur,
but it is not unlikely that by the time
dian Northern will either be extended
eastward to Sudbury, whence a line is
. building to Toronto, or get running
rights over the Canadian Pacific rail,
: way between Port Arthur and Sudbury.
. The country traversed between Sudbury
land Port Arthur is so barren that no rail
/ way company ever expects to obtain
z that running arrangement with the
5 Canadian Pacific might be possible, the
latter railway company obtaining suffl-
eclent rental to pay interest for the
Z building of another track between those
points, which would give the Canadian
Pacific a double track from Winnipeg to
. Sudbury. as well as give the Canadian
= Northern an all-rail outlet from Port
Arthur to Sudbury. ~.....
From Toronto the Canadian Northern
expects to build short line to Ottawa
{. and from Ottawa the intention is to
!. build line to Hawkesbury, where con
+ nection will. be: made with the Great
{, Northern railway OF Canada, now con-
+ trolled by the Canadian Northern. This
\ line. runs from Hawkesbury to Rivere a
Prairie, where running rights have been
obtained from the Quebec and Lake st.
John railway, which gives the Great
Northern an entrance to Quebec. The
s company expects to complete a short
line running from a junction with the
Great Northern to Montreal This will
y give it two summer Canadian Atlantic
ports. From Quebec, when the new

Halifax it has line known as the

port facilities.

be a good thing for the latter. In fact

The charge against Senator Burton in
Ithis case is the same as that preferred
Ewhen the case was before thecourt last
year except that iii this case the re-
ceipt Of money by Burton in st. Louis IS
alleged. The. reversal of the decision OF
the circuit court on the former appeal
was based upon the failure to show that
fact, the testimony as then adduced
only showing that he was paid Tor his
services with checks which were cashed
in this city.
The charge against Burton is that OF
