Team May BE Picked Next Week for
state College.
AMES, Ia March 2S.-(Special. Base
ball work at the Iowa State college Is
progressing very finely this favorable
weather, and IL the boys all remain at
the college and train during the coming
ive days vacation as they now intend TO
games that are coming IN a short time
after the vacation closes. The team has
not yet been picked, but Will be selected
the first or second day after the Easter
vacation, a fact which tends to induce all
Of the men to stay at the college and
cess. 1t is said that Coach Williams will
have the men doing steady work twice a
day and have them all lined up for their
various positions by tho time the vaca-
tion ends. In case this plan Is followed
there will be little chance for the fell
position on the team, and so II Is thought
that all will report for duty daily.
Coach williams called meeting the
other night and stated during a talk to
the fellows that the squad that would
begin the games for the college would
talk of probable candidates is being put
up, but as yet nothing definite can he
said. In selecting a pitcher there are
about seven men to choose from and few
would be willing TO risk guess as to
who will be the lucky men. About ATTY

A fact that gives the base ball enthuSl-
asts about Ames very great confidence
in the ability of the team that ts chosen
to defend the diamond record of the

MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT DECIDES
Act Under which Suit Was Brought
Declared to BE tn Violation
of Terms of state
Consultation.

ST. PAUL, March 2s.-The state supreme
court upheld the Great Northern railroad
in Its contention that It had the right to
issue the S6O,000O00 OF stock authorised by
the board Of directors some months ago
and which was enJoined by Attorney Gen.
eral Young, who claimed that the COM
pany should first come before the state
railroad and warehouse commission and
submit to an examination to show the
necessity and the purpose OF the issue.
This contention OF the state was upheld
by Judge Hallam In the Ramsey county
district court, who ordered an Injunction
to issue. The supreme court today reverses
that decision.
The opinion of the court was unanimous.
Chief Justice Start delivered the opinion
Of the court. the syllabus Of which is as
follows,
The terms and conditions upon which cor
porations may be created, the powers and
capital stock they may have, the purposes
for which they may increase the capital
stock and the conditions and limitations OF
these are exclusively matters for legisla-
tive action, which cannot be delegated.
The state having created railway eorpo-
[ations for public purposes, the Legislature
the increase OF their capital stock. Such
regulations tend TO prevent secrecy Of
operation and accounts BY such public
or watered stock, which is a felony in this
state.
In the exercise Of this right the legisla-
ture may enact a statute providing gener-
ally for what purposes and upon what
terms, conditions and limitations an in
crease Of stock may De made and confer
upon a commission the duty OF supervising
any proposed increase.
II may also delegate 20 the commission
the duty OF finding the facts IN each par
ucular case and authorize and require II
4 It hnds the existence OF facts that bring
the case within the statute, to allow the
proposed increase; otherwise to refuse t.
Any statute, however, which attempts 70
authorize the commission, In It's judgment,
TO allow an Increase OF capital stock for
such purposes and on such terms as II may
deem advisable or In It's discretion to re-
fuse II, would be unconstitutional as an
attempt TO delegate legislative power.
section zsI2, r. g., 1906, relating to In
crease OF capital stock Of railway corpo-
Iationsl does not violate article 1, section
OF the state constitution, or article l.
