the streets are grand canals of ebon

have to cross the streets they go in

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
United States Court Holds That the
Court Has Jurisdiction in Ex-
port Freight Rates. 3.

. Kansas City, Mo-, May 22.-Thc
demurrer of the Burlington railway
denying the jurisdiction of the gov
ernment in export freight rates, was
overruled in the United States court
here, by Judge Smith Mcpherson, of
Iowa. The decision is of great i'm
portancc to shipping interests of all
sections of the country and of par
ticular weight at present, because it
tends to destroy the contention Of the
railways that export rates need not
be made public.
1t means, too, that the Burlington
railway and the other railroad COR
porations and persons indicted here
in December, must stand trial on the
charge of accepting rebates. The trial
Of the Burlington was set for May 81.
Attention was drawn to the report
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion December II, 1905, in which it
was said that cit was mooted qucs-
tion whether the present act requires
carriers to file and maintain tariffs
under which they transport exports
and imports but the commission has a
number Of times decided that the
statutes covered this point"
"Thc same $cciion.' the decision
says. "lindS the same kind Of COM

a billion Of dollars worth Of exports
are shipped from the United States
is IL powerful argument in favor OF
the proposition that they should not
be hampcrcd with rate tariffs difficult
or impossible to observe because the
ocean rates vary from day to day,
but this is an argument that can per
saude the courts upon the question
of what construction shall be given 4

The statute, Judge Mcpherson
says. forbids lowering the rates ex-
ccpt on three days. notice. and for
bids raising them except on ten days
notice. cit is clcar.' he continues,
"that carriers by railways and water
inland, when acting under common
agreement, are covered by the stat
utcs, us we'll as commerce by any
method with an adjacent foreign
country. And as to interstate com
mcrcc. it is included. Because these
are specifically enumerated it is con-
tended that all others are excluded.

Jud"cMcPhcrSnn says full force
