NEW SYSTEM OF APPEALS.
senator Clark, of wyoming, Pro-
poses Plan to Remedy Abuses.

Senator Clark, of wyoming. chair
man Of the Judiciary Committee. yes
terday introduced a bill providing for
an appeal or writ of error in criminal
cases arising under the Sherman anti
trust law and the Interstate Commerce
Commission acts, direct from the dis
trict or circuit courts to the Supreme
Court of the United States, instead of
through the Circuit Courts of Appeal,
as is now the case.
In an accompanying statement. SEN
ator Clark pointed out that the Penn
sylvanja Railroad. the Northern Pacific,
the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy,
and the Illinois Central have mutual
traffic arrangements and cover eight
out Of the nine judicial circuits. As
the law stands now. the decision OF any
one of the Circuit Courts OF Appeal is
final in a criminal case arising under
any OF the statutes named, and it IS TO
be observed that the practical opera
ton Of these railroads, especially In the
application Of their tariffs and rates,
the furnishing Of equal facilities to
shippers, the maintenance Of uniform
safety appliances. and various other
important points in railroad admins
tration. are all subject 10 determination
by decision i'm a given criminal case
arising under such statutes.
Therefore. should the present sys-
TEN Of law and appeal remain I'm force
there inevitably would arise a condition
OF confusion resulting from divergent
Tinal decisions by different Circuit
Courts of Appeal, all applying to the
same railroad system. so that in Tcla-
ton. for instance, 20 the Pennsylvania
Railroad system. neither the shipper
nor the railroad officials would be able
10 know their rights or duties definite
ly. 1t is wholly improper and unsatis-
factory, Senator Clark says. To con
tinUe situation Of affairs wherein
nine different Circuit Courts of Appeal
have absolute final determination, each
IN its own circuit, of questions which
involve the commerce of the entire
country.
