Minneapolis Oct. 9.-Something
new in the way Of an immunity bath
is to be sprung at the federal inves-
tigation into the railroad rebates,
which VIII begin Monday in Minne-
apolis in case any indictments are re-
turned by the special grand jury.
The attorneys viii call attention of
the court to the alleged fact that their
clients are immune from prosecution
under the provisions of the new rail-
road law.
Although the ElIxins law was not re-
pealed provision of the new law pre-
vents prosecution for an offense COM
mitted previous to the date of the pas
sage of the new bill.
The attorneys will therefore say
that prosecution falls to the ground
because the action has been brought
under the new law, which expressly
cuts off prosecution of infractions of
the anti-rebate provisions of the new
law

He has made good wherever he has
been put" they say. "He is equal to

But, when the personal charm OF
the Magoon personality is subtracted

annum as the poo bah of Panama, and
the handing out of law opinions to the
bureau of insular affairs OF course,
the problem of applying the constitu-
ton to the government of a subject
people was not so simple, and the in
genuity with which that document has

MeikIejohn and others to slip Magoon
into a corner of the new insnlar affairs

to receive the salary Of $500 year
which the position of law clerk paid,
and the work seemed so much too easy
that he spent his leisure moments
