STATE RIGHTS DEFINED
FEDERAL SUPREME COURT RULES
ON INSURANCE BUSINESS.
Holds That Commonwealth Can Pre-
vent an Outside Company from Do
ing Business Within It's Borders.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May II
Justice Peckham today delivered the
opinion of the federal supreme court in
he case of the Travellers Life Insurance
company VS.. the insurance commissioner
of Kentucky in favor of the state.
The case involved the constitutionality
Of the state law authorizing the revoca
ion of permits given to foreign insurance
companies to do business in the state
when such companies remove to the fed
eral courts cases brought against them in
the state courts. The court held that
such law covers right which state
may properly exercise.
Justice Peckham said that a state may
refuse to permit an outside company to
do any business whatever within its Dor
ders. He therefore held that the state
law is not in conflict with the federal
constitution. Justice Day read a dis
senting opinion in which Justice Harlan
concurred.
The court denied a rehearing of the
Chicago traction cases.
a decision was rendered by the court
today in the famous case of Peter and
Enoch Pearsons, involving the question
of the tnality of a discharge OF lmml-
OF inquiry. The opinion was delivered
by Justice Holmes and was adverse to
the Pearsons. The two men are lace
makers. They came to this country
from Great Britain in February, 1901,
and when they arrived at New York a
special board investigated and permitted
them to land. \ month or more after
wards they We're taken into custody on
a warrant from the secretary of com
merce and labor, charging a violation of
the provision Of the immigra ton law pro
hibiting the landing of laborers under
contract. The Pearsons set up the
claim that the verdict Of the special
board was conclusive.

SEARCHLIGRT AWES ZULU

DURHAM, Natal, May II. - Search

Zulus as the British guns, Judging from
the display given last night by Native
Commissioner Saunders before a huge
gathering of Zulus at the y. kaEdahala

natives were awe-stricken and regard
the searchlight as the eye of the Al

upon them i'll his anger. The flashing Of
the light on the surrounding hills, bring
ing in plain view the KafIir trails as far
as the horizon, powerfully impressed the
Zulus. who, when the light was suddenly
flashed in their faces, covered and fell
on the ground, before what they termed
the --latest witchcraft of the whites"
