Two Cent Fare Law Void.
The two cent railroad fare law now
in force In Pennsylvania has been de-
clared unconstitutional by the state
supreme court in an opinion affirming
the decision of the common pleas court
of Philadelphia rendered last Septem-
Der. The court in reviewing the case
bays that the lower court found that
the act does injustice to the cor
porators in that it reduces the returns
from the property to such an extent as
to render it unremunerative. 1t fur
Their says: 1.-THE corporation is entitled
to make fair profit on every branch
of its business subject to the limita-
ton that its corporate duties must be
performed even though at loss. What
is fair profit is highly complicated
and difficult question. The court be-
low awaited itself of all the best evil
dence that was offered or shown to
be obtainable, considered 1t with ex-
emplary patience and care, and its
conclusion that the enforcement of the
act of 1907 against the complainant
would do injustice to the corporators
is beyond criticism" The law was en-
acted by the last Legislature, the bill
passing both houses by practically
unanimous vote. The railroads fought
the bill vigorously, and after 1t became
law the Pennsylvania railroad insti-
tuted suit in the common pleas court
Of Philadelphia restraining the county
Of Philadelphia from enforcing the
law. The railroad contended that the
law was unconstitutional in that it
was unreasonable and confiscatory,
and this contention was sustained by
the court. The county then carried
the case to the state supreme court,
which has now sustained the lower
court. The decision was by a vote Of
4 too.

the women refused to give sureties and

Haitian Revolt Spreads.
The report of last week from Port au
Prince, Haiti, that a body of revoIu-
tionists was approaching that city under
the leadership Of Jean Juneau and 9TH
er eXiles has been confirmed by later
advices. The landing had been made
at Gonaives. and the capture of that
city and of st. Marc had followed with
little resistance. 1t was expected that
General Firmin would arrive from st.
Thomas to lead the revolution. which
is spreading from the western to the
northern part of the island. The Amer
lean gunboat Paducah has been sent
from New Orleans to the scene of the
disturbance.
The New York source of this upris-
ing came to light Jan. %, when Chief
Wilkie Of the secret service caused the
seizure of 1000 rifles, 100000 rounds
Of ammunition and 100000 worth of
money ready for shipment from that
port to Haiti. The boxes had been la

cution.

Haywood Hailed as Leader.

largely of labor union members and So

classes of laboring men against the es-
tablished order. Negotiations have al

When Haywood appeared before the
great throng in the Grand Central pal
ace the applause lasted for fully ten
minutes. and he was repeatedly &C
claimed rs the next Socialist candidate

spoke of the time spent in the Idaho
jail as the most fruitful period of his
life. inasmuch as 1t had been the in
strumentality of the first great unifica-
ton of the forces of labor as opposed
to the power Of capitalistic govern
ment. He did not attempt to conceal
the intense bitterness of his feeling to-
ward President Roosevelt on account
Of the undesirable citizens" letter.
The months he had spent in jail, he
said, had also given him time to study
and read and to dwell upon the wrongs
Of the working class. to whose efforts
he owed his life for having turned pub
lie opinion so as to bring about the ac-
quittal e. ii. Hartman he praised as
