UPHoLDs STOCK ISSUE.
Great Northern Wins Out In Its Min
 nes0tn LitigatiOn.

Great Northern Wins Out An Ats Mhn- nes0ta LitigatfOn.
 St Paul Minn., March 2S.-The State Supreme Court today upheld the Great Northern Railroad in its contention that if had the right to issue the $60,- l 900 900 of stock authorized by the board of directors some months ago and which was enjoined by Attorney General Young, who claimed that the company should first come before the state railroad and warehouse commits sion and submit to an examination to show the necessity and the purpose of the issue.
 This contention of the state was up- held by Judge Hallam In the Ramsey county district court, who ordered an injunction to the issue. The Supreme Court today reverses that decision.
 The opinion of the court was unani- nous. Chief Justice Start delivered the opinion of the court, the syllabus of which is as follows:
 1. The terms and conditions upon which corporations may be created, the powers and capital stock they may have, the purposes for which they may increase their capital stock and their conditions and limitations Of those are exclusively matters for legislative ac- tion which cannot be delegated.
 ?. The State having created railway corporations for public purposes, the Iatf IL tutes regulating the increase of their capital stock. Such regulations tend to prevent secrecy of operation and &C., counts by such public agencies and the issue and sale of fictitious or watered stock. which Is a felony in thts State.
 3. In the exercise of this right the Legislature may enact statute pro vlding generally for what purposes and on what terms, conditions and limita- tions an increase of capital stock may be made, and confer on a commission the duty of supervising any proposed increase.
 4. 1It may also delegate to the com mission the duty of finding the facts in each particular case and authorize and require it. if it finds the existence of facts that bring the case within the statute, to allow the proposed increase, otherwise to refuse it.
 B. Any statute however which at- tempts to authorize the commission in it's Judgment to allow an increase or capital stock for such purposes on such terms as it may deem advisable or in it's dicretion to refuse it, would be unconstitutional. as an attempt to del- egate legislative power.
 6. Section 9, SIP, R. s. 1905, relat- ing to the increase of capital stock of railway corporations, does not vio- late Article 1, Section II, of the State Constitution, or Article 1. Section 10, of the Constitution of the United states, which forbid the enactment of contracts. It does, however, violate Section 1, Article 3, of the State Con- stitution in that it delegates to the Commission legislative power.
 The order of the lower court is there fore reversed.

Florence Gear In srhe Marriage of
 Kftty.~

Kitty.~
 Florence Gear and a capable compa- ny pleasingly presented .The, Marriage of Kitty" at the Montgomery Theatre Thursday matinee and night. The comedy, which had been produced in Montgomery previously to its perfor- nance by Miss Gears company. lis light but clever and interesting and as played Thursday was entirely en- joyable.
 Miss Gear was a charming Kitty Silverton. playing with grace, sympa- thy and spirit. She has an attractive personality and appearance, and her acting was notably easy ana enec.ive. In the second act, which was grate- full blending of droliery and tender ness, she was especially good She rendered several songs delightfully.
 Harry B Roche was cast as Sir Reginald, playing opposite to Miss Gear, and he portrayed the role alto- getlfer acceptably. Though he prov ed himself quite adeauate in the few serious moments of the play, 1t was in the really comic sense of the com edv that he was at his best. He was in entire sympathy with the humor Of the piece and his presentation of Sir Reginald was marked by an easy presence, and effective delivery or the lines.
 Elsie Baird played Madame de Seih- iano well. Her appearance was pleas ing and her voice melodious and ex- pressive, and to these natural quail ties she added admirable histrionic talent. Hazel K. Chapple was niouante and attractive Rosalie, Franklin Hall, in the part of John Travers. was clever. c. Milo Beidon played two parts. Norbury and the clerk, adequately.
