of cattle. and brought into question the validity of the Texas State law under which the claim arose Mayes in 1903 resided in Ilano County. Texas, and en- gagged seventeen cars for the trans portation of 625 head of cattle to Red Rock, Oklahoma. the agreement being that the cars were to be furnished April 20 of that year. The cattle were driven into the railroad stock yards on the morning of that day, but the cars for their shipment did not arrive until the afternoon of the next day.
 Mayes made a claim for damages on ammount of loss of weight and other injuries to his cattle to the extent of g per head. or $1.s7s. and also in ac- cordance with the State law for $425 as a penalty under his contract with the railroad company. The case was begun in the District Court of Ilano County, which awarded him the full amount of the penalty and $500 dam ages. The Supreme Court for the Third Judicial District of Texas affirmed this decision and the railroad brought the case to the Supreme court on a writ Of error. setting up the unconstitu- tionality of the law providing A penalty of $25 a day on each car ordered as in the case.
 Justice Browns opinion sustained this contention on the ground that the law transcends the police power of the State and encroaches on the power of the National Government to control in- terstate commerce. He said that the law takes no account of the possibility of accident. and Is too arbitrary. The Chief Justice and Justices Harlan and McKenna dissented.
