Commodities Clause Dsellill
to Be Unconstitutional
DIsMIssES GOVERNMENT SUIT
Federal Circuit Court Decides !
Case in Favor Of Coal
Carrying Roads.

Philadelphia, Sept. 11.-Declarfng t;
to be harsh and unreasonable and AMI
invasion of the rights Of the states
and therefore repugnant to the Con
stitution, the United Suites circuit
court for the Eastern district of Penn.
sylvania dismissed the suits of the
federal government to .saaferce the
commodities clause Of the Hepburn
railroad act against the anthracite
coal carrying railroads Of this state.
Judges George Gray and. George n.
Dallas filed opinions dismissing the
suits and Judge Joseph Bumngton dis
scented, but did not file an opinion.
The commodities clsase prohibits
railroad companies from transporting
in interstate commerce. any article Or
commodity manufactured, mined Or
produced by thsm Or vnder their au-
thority. The case :wks argued In
June. United States Attorney General
Bonaparte delivering the principal
argument for the government. The
effect of tho commoditieas~c clause. II
constitutional, would be to confine tho
mining of anthracite coal bylths rail-
roads for use in Pennsylvania only,
or compel the railroads to sell alf~thS-
mining properties they are interested
IN, either directly or indirectly.
The decision of the court did not
come as great surprise. 1t is almost
certain that the case will be appealed
directly to the United States supreme
| court.
Principal Opinion by Judge Gray.
Judge Gray in his opinion discussed
! at length the limitations put on con-
gress by the Constitution and conclud-
ed as follows:
| "From every point Of view which We
have been able to approach the ques-
ton, the unreasonableness and conse-
quent invalidity of this so-called com
| modities clause is apparent. 1t in
vades the rights of the state, by strik-
ing down the liberty hitherto innocent
ly enjoyed by it's citizens under the
laws and Usages Of the cofini6hW wealth,
to engage in Interstate commerce to

articles, whether owned or not owned
by the carrier and deprives of their
property these defendants, contrary
to the letter and spirit of the Fifth
amendment t. The Constitution. If
the attachment in ques .ien be war
ranted by the commerce clause Of the
Constitution il is hard to see What
bounds may be set to the exercise OF
that power. 1t will indeed be an open
door, through which the forces of
Capitalization hitherto unknown may.
enter at will, to the overthrow of that
just balance between federal and state
| power, for which the makers of the
Constitution so wisely provided, as an
essential to the preservation Of our
dual form of government"

RAPID SPREAD OF CHOLERA
Large Number Of Cases Exist at Ct.
Petersburg.

eISuSOOT9s
st. Petersburg, Sept. 11.-The ASH
attic cholera is spreading in st. Pc
tersburg and the sudden jump in the
statistics is taken to mean that the
city authorities failed to take proper
precautions against an epidemic when
tho first suspicious cases were discov-
cred fortnight ago. The last bull
letin issued reports fifty-two cases
and eighteen deaths, but it is believed
that treble that number exist within
the city limits.
The health commission admits that
there are 102 other cases of sickness
that are being watched. One hundred
doctors have been drafted into the
cholera squad at a salary Of $3.50 per
day. The city has chartered a special
tank steamer to distribute boiled wa
tor to the barges where large per.
centage of the cases have been found.

What's Geography Good For?

This is from the philosophy of a
mother who berated q teacher in the
Nixon school for not promoting her
daughter because the latter was def
cient in geography.

1t that my daughter gets through school
SO she gets a man. Never mind about
the geography. Just promote her with

and you amt got any man at all. What

A question which travellers often ask

the main fall "the most wonderful

one of the worlds mightiest rivers,
