GRAIN INSPECTION ENJoTNED
Missouri State Inspectors Cannot Ins
wade Private Elevators to Per-
form Their Duties.

st. Louis, June PA temporary re-
training order has been granted by
Circuit Judge Taylor prohibiting the
state board of railroad and warehouse
commissioners from enforcing the pro-
visions of the Avery law so far as it
applies to the state inspection, weigh
ing and grading Of grain outside of
public elevators. The state board is
permitted to continue to inspect grain
In public warehouses, but the court
ruled that it is encroachment on the
right of the individual to enjoy his
private property to compel him to sub
nit his grain to state inspection at any
port Of the state where he may wish
to sell or store it.
This action Is the first step growing
out of the injunction proceedings in
stituted on the part of the exchanges
of St Louis and Kansas City after the
Avery grain inspection law went into
effect recently.

his cross-examination had not been

~ Orchard testified that Davis led and
commanded the mob that destroyed the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill in 1899;
inspired, as the agent of Haywood
and Meyer, the Vindicator explosion
and the train-wrecking plot at Grip
pie Greek, and was an accomplice in
the independence station crime. On

working life, including the pathetic
story of the death of his wife and
babe at Cripple Creek at which he
wept and made positive denial of ev-

him or his assistants in any form Of

Orchard Threatened Steunenberg.
He denied that he was even a mem
Der Of the union when the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mine was blown up, and
at the conclusion of his general story
swore that at Cripple Greek during the
strike Orchard told him of the Her
cules' mine affair and threatened to
kill Steunenberg. The cross-examina-
ton of Davis by Senator Borah was
severe and searching, and was chief
" devoted, as far as it proceeded, to
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan affairs
and the circumstances under which
Orchard made the threat against
Steunenberg.
What He Knew Of Bunker Hill.
Davis asserted that he remained at
Gem the day the Bunker Hill mill was
blown up, and while he said he saw
the train in charge of the masked mob
arrive at and depart from Gem he
could not name any one on the train
except the engineer, Hutton. He said
there was no excitement, and he made
no inquiry about the mob. He said
that he remained in hiding after the

Indianapolis. June o7.-The interur-
ban railroads won in the supreme
court on the main proposition that
the use Of the streets by their cars is
no more an additional servitude" than
their use by the city street cars. as
long as they are operated within the
city like street cars. But the court
holds that whatever special damages
they inhict on adjoining property by
running so fast as to shake down
houses, or by the improper operation
of their cars in other respects. must
be paid.
Unanimous Only on One Point.
All OF the judges express the opin.
ion that interlirban cars cannot be ex-
Guided from the streets by abutting
owners, the owners having a right, at
most. to recover damages. The decis-
ion was by a majority only of the five
judges, two of them contending that
the mere use Of the streets by inter
urban cars gives adjoining owners a
right to damages as in the case OF
steam railroads. The fact that
freight or express ears are run by
the interurban railroads Is discussed
at length. but is held to make no diff
ference in their right to use the streets.
Two Justices in Agreement.
The court reversed the Judgment
sustaining the demurrer of the Union
Traction company to the complaint Of
Lottie Kinsey. asking damages for the
operation of interurban cars in College
avenue in Indianapolis. An opinion OF
forty-three typewritten pages by Judge
Jordan is concurred fin by Judge Mont
gomery, but does not meet the ap-
proval Of the other three judges.
Three Other Opinions Written.
Judge Hadley writes an opinion Of
twenty -four pages. and Judge Gillett
another of eleven pages, while Judge
Monks "concurs in the conclusion Of
| Judges Hadley and Gillett that the
running of interrrban cars In the city
| streets is not an additional burden and
that appellant is not entitled to recov-
er therefor: and also IN their conclu-
sion that there are allegations IN the
complaint which sufficiently charge a
| special injury to appellants real es-
| tate caused by operating said read un-
