LOWER COURT HELD
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
SOmeCaseS of Importance on
Calendar of United States
Supreme Court
fRy AssocIated press.l


Washington, April S.-The United
states supreme court reconvencd to-
day after two weeks recess. Sew
eral cases of more than ordinary inn
portance are on the calendar for early
hearing Among the number is the
ease Of the United St3tos against
Heinzen & Co, involving the tariff en-
articles imported into the Philippine
Islands from the United States be-
,ween April. 1899, and November, 1901.
This is the last OF the Philippine test
cases
A case OF more general interest and
Importance is that OF Damselle How
ard against the Illinois Central rail-
road involving the constituticnality
of the railroad employers liability act
passed at the last session of congress,
The case was tried by the United
States circuit court for tho western
district of Tennessee, which held the
arst section of the act, abolishing the
fellow servant rule, to be unconstit1-
tionaI
The case is considered TO be of
great Importance, not only because of
the number OF similar cases that have
arisen and must arise, but because OF
the prin,iple involved. When the
United States district court held the
act invalid because of its unconstiiu
tionality, President Roosevelt az once
took up the matter and decided ia
take the question TO the highest court
with a view Of having the decision re
versed. Only once before, it Is said
In the history OF the department OF
Justice, has similar action been taker
by the administration.
