FAIL TO PREVENT MARRIAGE
After Futile Search for Sister,
Brother Finds Girl Bride.
Young Baltimore Couple Arrested
mand-ForEives Quickly.

After making two trips 70 this city in
the hope of preventing the marriage Of
his year-old sister. Maud Bur
nett, to a young man whom she is said
to have known but two weeks, w /.
Burnett, of 1927 Eastern avenue, Bait
more, found yesterday afternoon that his
efforts had proved useless.
Burnett made his first trip to this city
late Monday night and. going to police
headquarters. asked that d search for
the girl be made. He said ne had learned
by a newspaper that Il marriage license
had been issued to Maud Burnett and
Lucas Elliot. but that he had been un-
able to learn whether or not they had
been married in Baltimore, and thought
the couple might have come to this city.
Yesterday he visited this city again,
and. after spending several hours in
search Of his missing sister. started for
his home. When about to take a train at
the Pennsylvania station he happened 20
see the girl. and. after locating Detective
Horne asked that she be taken in Gus
tody. It was then that Burnett learned
that he had arrived too late, as the young
husband drew from his POCKET the certih-
cate OF their marriage.
Rev. T. Bubeck, Of 17i7 East Baltimore
street, Baltimore, had united the couple
They consented 10 make a visit TO the
Office Of Capt. Boardman, and, after a
few minutes conversation, started Tor the
station to take train for their home.
Finding that he had located the couple
too late Burnett appeared not to be an
gered, and the three went on their way in
company.

SEEK TO DODGE FINES
Convicted Packers Appeal to
the Supreme Court.
OPPOSE ROOSEVELT POLICIES
Department of Justice, in Defense of
Established Laws, Declares that
Reversal of Action would DemOr-
aIize Interstate Commerce and
Leave Railroads Free to Rebate.

Roosevelts railroad policies came
squarely before the Supreme Court of the
United States yesterday. when briefs
were submitted on the petition to grant
wrts Of certiorar, whereby the four big
packing concerns of the West hope to
evade payment OF the $4,000 fines for ac-
cepting concessions" from railroads on
shipments OF meat for export.
The Department of Justice is fighting
the case on behalf of the government.
The solicitor general holds that, If the
contention of the packers be occupied by
the court, the entire field Of foreign COM
merce would be taken out Of the jurisdic-
ton of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, and the railroads would be left free
to grant rebates. to give concessions, and
to discriminate between shippers and To-
calities.
The Importance OF the case is empha-
sized by the argument that the Hepburn
act does not alter the unrepealed provi-
sions of the Elkins act, under which the
packers were convicted.
The companies were fined for accepting
from the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railway lower rate on meat billed from
Kansas City. Mo. TO Christiana. Norway
than the rate on file with the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Attack EIkins Law.
In the application for the writs to-day
TO bring the cases from the Eighth Cir
cult Court OF Appeals to the Supreme
Court, the packers claim that the Elkins
law is unconstitutional, because it is said
to restrict and burden export traffic by
evying tax on articles exported from a
State. and because a preference is given
10 a port OF one State over that Of an
other by this regulation of commerce.
The department replies that by no
means Of construction can the Elkins act
be said TO levy a tax on meat exported.
As Congress has passed a general law
affecting all foreign commerce, il is ar
gued that such legislation cannot discrim-
mate between certain ports, because il
may happen, IN a given case, that one
port is more valuable for the expectation
of certain traffic than another
The secret desire upon the part of car
riers and shippers to evade the provisions
OF this section" says Solicitor General
Hoyt. is 70 be found in the anxiety OF
the former to secure a greater tonnage
for transportation. and Of the latter to
procure discriminatory rates and conces-
sions. The carrier and the shipper stand
exactly upon the same plane Once a
rate has been nled and published, the Of
fcnse of soliciting. accepting, and receiv-
ing a concession is exactly the same as
that OF offering, granting, or giving one

MUST SHARE ITS wHARvES.
Courts Give Steamship COmpany's
Competitor Equal Rights.

competitor EuHHi HtlBnEA.
Under a recent decision OF the Federal
courts in Virginia. the Weems Steamboat
Company finds that it has not absolute
control over the thirteen wharves on the
Rappahannock River that it has owned
or leased for half a century, but must
share them with its competitors.
The line has maintained boats between
Baltimore and Fredericksburg for fifty
years, and stops are made at the thirteen
piers on the Rappahannock River A
rival concern recently undertook to land
at the piers the Weems steamers ia some
cases being compelled to lay off in stream
until It's competitor chose TO leave,
An Injunction TO restrain the other
steamers from using the piers was re-
fused by the Circuit Court on the ground
that. as the Weems Company was
common carrier, the wharves were public
property. and to exclude other vessels
from the privilege of landing would be
10 create a monopoly.
This judgment was affirmed by the Fed
eral Court of Appeals. and the Weems
Company now seeks its review on writ
Of ceruorari by the Supreme Court.
