VIOLATES STATE RIGHTS.
Pennsylvania Court Holds Commodity
Clause Invalid.

Pennsylvania Court Holds Commodit,
Clause Invalid.
Philadelphia, Sept. declaring il
to be drastic, harsh and unreasonable,
and an invasion Of the rights of the
states and therefore repugnant to the
constitution, the United States Circuit
court for the Eastern district of Penn
sylvania today dismissed the suits of
the Federal government to enforce the
commodities clause of the Hepburn
railroad act against the anthracite coal
carriers of this state. Judges George
Gray and George H. Dallas filed opin-
ions dismissing the suits and Judge
Joseph Burlington dissented, but did
not file an opinion.
The commodities clause prohibits
railroad companies to transport in in
terstate commerce any article or COM
modify manufactured, mined or pro-
duced by them or under their author
ity. The case was argued in June,
United States Attorney General Bona
parte delivering the principal argu-
ment for the government. The effect
of the commodities clause, if constitu-
tional, would he to confne the mining
of anthracite coal by the railroads to
that for use in Pennsylvania only, and
the railroads to sell all the
mining property they are interested
in, either directly or indirectly. 1t is
almost certain that the case will be
appealed directly to the United States
Supreme court.

NEWS NOTES FROM THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL CITY
NO POLITICS PERMITTED.
Government Issues Warning to Civil
Service Employees.

Government Issues Warning to CIV
Service Employees.
Washington, Sept. IA solemn
warning has been issued by the civil
service commission to the army of gov
ernment employees in this city and
elsewhere, against sidestepping their
work for Uncle Sam in order to in
dulge in the game of politics.
1t seems that in past campaigns it
has been the practice of many govern
ment officials and clerks to resign so
that they may run for office in their
home communities, or otherwise be-
come actively engaged in political
work, to be reinstated after election
day, if the old job still appeals to
them. This year there will be no re-
instatement, says the commission. The
order is as follows:
"The commission desires to inform
each of the department and independ-
ent executive officers of its attitude
toward employees in the classified SER
vice who resign to become candidates
for Office or to engage in active polit-
ical work and who afterward seek re-
instatement
''Inasmuch as the issuance Of a GER
tificate is discretionary with the COM
mission, no certificate will be issued in
any case where the party seeking re-
instatement resigned with view of
running for office or indulging in polit-
ical activity which would be prohibited
if he had remained in the service, and
afterward, having failed in his candi-
dacy, or having indulged in contem-
plated political activity, seeks rein
statement"

kaiser's Subjects Love Him Little

San Francisco, Sept. 1O.-Judge
Karl Won Lewinski, president of the
Imperial court at Berlin, is today
wondering what surprise he will next
receive at the hands of his country
men. The German judge was guest
in the court of Judge Van Fleet yester-
day, in which naturalization examina-
tions were being heard. Several of
his countrymen were questioned in the
usual manner. The supreme test of
citizenship qualifications was the re-
quiremeent that the applicant renounce
his allegiance to the mother country
and take up arms against that coun-
try, if necessary. Imperial Judge Won
Lewinski was painfully surprised at
the avidity with which his countrymen
agreed to make war on the kaiser if
necessary.

tween Albert K. Mead and Henry Nc
Bride, together with first choice votes
divided between five other candidates
in the field, have brought about stu
alton peculiar in Washington state
politics.
The latest returns from all parts of
the state indicate that when the count
is completed Cosgrove may have a plu-
rality of all votes cast, leading both
Mcbride and Mead. Up to nearly mid
night the count showed Mcbride. lead
ing Cosgrove, but belated returns from
remote country districts are adding to
Cosgrove's total. Mead is third in the
race.
Washington's new direct primary
law has eliminated Senator Ankeny
from the race for senator. Wesley L.
Jones, by majority reaching we'll into
the thousands, has been given the nom
ination and the number of Republicans
who are pledged to vote always for the
candidate of their choice receiving the
highest popular vote, precludes the
possibility of the election of Ankeny
by the next Legislature.

Duluth, MINI, Sept 9.-Fighting
desperately against the forest fires
that threatened momentarily to add
six more range towns to the black
ened ruins of Chisholm and SNOWFALL,
practically the entire population OF
the Mesaba region composed the self
constituted fire brigade that struggled
fiercely all day yesterday and late
into the night to save their homes
and property. After raging fiercely
all the afternoon the flames died
down with the wind last evening and
gave the army of fighters chance to
rest after their strenuous work.
Hibbing, Nashwauk, Buhl, Coler-
aine and Mountain Iron, which were
considered doomed during the greater
part of the afternoon are safe again,
unless the wind revives. There is
little promise OF rain, and a strong
wind from any direction will fan the
flames into renewed menace.
The Duluth fire department re-
ceived telegram from the depart
ment at Hibbing asking for assist
ance, and Chief Black, with a num-
Der of men and an engine, left Du-
luth shortly after 4 o'clock for the
scene OF the fire. The Mesaba road
has trains in waiting at Hibbng to
take the people away from the scene
