Crocodile Skins.

Consul General W. H. Michael
states that a Calcutta trade Journal
calls attention to the demand for croc-
odile skins in America, and from time
% time has urged the natives living
contiguous to crocodile haunts to en-.
age extensively in the business Of
killing this creature for his skin. guar
anteeing that they will be able to sell
TO American buyers at remunerative
prices all the skins they can take.
There are thousands of crocodiles
in the lagoons and tide water streams
of India, easily accessible. and there
are Indians In plenty to hunt them
and take their skins. Consequently
there is no reason why a big trade in
crocodile skins should not be built up
between the United States and India

granted the request of the State OF
Minnesota for a temporary injunction
against the Great Northern railways
proposed $50, 900, 900 increase of capt
tai stock. All points made by the
state were sustained.
The case came before the court on
an order TO the defendant to show
cause why a temporary injunction
should not be issued prohibiting the
defendant, during the tendency of the
action and until the further order OF
the court, from making a proposed in
crease of its capitsl stock without first
making application in writing to and
obtaining the consent of the railroad
and warehouse commission.
injunction Is Granted.
Judge Hallam granted an injunction
restraining the defendant from issuing
this stock without first securing the
consent Of the railroad and warehouse
commission.
The contention of the state was
based on section 1872 Of the Revised
Laws of 1905. originally enacted as
chapter 2S55, General Laws OF 1857.
The defendant contended that the
act of 1887 was in contravention of its
charter; that it was unconstitutional
as being a delegation OF legislative
power to an administrative board.
that the act was repealed by chapter
227 Of the Laws of 1889: that the re-
vised law appealed to had received a
practical construction both by the
state officials and the defendant ad.

Judge Hallam resolves these several
contentious against the defendant and
in favor or the state.
Judge Hallam. indorsing the regula-
lions provided by the general laws.
says:
"The provident issue Of stock by a
railroad corporation is a matter OF
public concern. and the state has q
right to insist that when such a cor
p~oration increases its stock there shall
be a value behind the stock and it has
the right to establish safeguards to
that end. This is all the act in ques-
ton does"
Judge Hallam's decision is a com
plete victory for the state.

COURTS TO PASS ON RATES.
Railroads Get an Injunction Against
Proposed Commodity Rates.

Proposed Commodity Rates.
st. Paul, Jan. 26.-The ten railroads
operating in Minnesota secured at
moor yesterday from Judge Lochren,
in the United States circuit court, a
temporary injunction restraining the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission froue enforcing the sched'
ule of commodity rates which the
commission ordered some time ago to
become effective yesterday.
It is contepded that the order of the
commission is an interference with in
terstate commerce. The effect Of the
order, they aver, would be to make
rates lower in Minnesota than in ad-
Joining states. The consequence would
work a discrimination in interstate
commerce. which would be unconsti-
tutional.
1t is contended that the proposed
rates are coniscatory, and therefore
re3ugnant to the Federal Constitution
