The opinion was delivered by JUS
tice Holmes. who held that the law Is
an effort to regulate interstate COM
merce, and that therefore the tax
could not be collected. The chief JUS
tice and Justices Harlan, White and
Mckenna united in a dissenting opin-
ion.
Columbus, May 19.-Some appre-
hension is felt by Ohio officials that
the decision on the Texas law will in
validate the Cole law, which assesses
a tax of per cent on the gross re-
ceipts of express, sleeping car, freight,
electric light. gas pipe line, water
works, street railroad, signal and rail-
road companies. and under which the
receipts now amount to more than w.
900, 900. Attorney General Ellis said
the Ohio law would not be affected. as
it does not place any tax upon inter-
state commerce.

SECOND SWELL CASE TRIAL.

Judge PhiIbrick Examining Case With
Great Expedition at Clinton, I'LL
Clinton, ILL.,, May 19.-In marked
contract to the first trial of the Smell
will case in February, is the expedition
with which the second is proceeding.
Judge Solon Philbrick has entered ac-
lively into the work of examining
jurymen. Eight Jurors were accepted
yesterday. but one was excused this
morning. Another was accepted be-
fore court had been in session an hour.
From the tenor of Judge Philbrick's
remarks in passing upon the questions
OF immortality and the efforts of con-
scienceless women in seeking to secure
possession of Colonel SHELLS money, 1t
would appear that he is disposed to
admit any evidence of this kind that
the attorneys for the disinherited son
desire to present. It is also assumed
that he will admit letters alleged to
have been written to the old man by
his grandniece, Mabel Smell McNa-
mara, of Kansas City, which were
ruled out by Judge Cochran, who pre-
sided during the first trial

Also Advance.

New York, May 1e.-Leading rail-
road stocks and other shares in the
stock market reached their highest
prices of the year in todays trading.
Advances were made on extremely
heavy dealings, and the better prices
were scored in such securities as I'm
ion Pacific, Pennsylvania, Amalgamat-
ed Copper. Reading, st. Paul, Illinois
Central and Northern Pacific. Profit
taking on the advance caused sharp
recessions. but the tone Of the market
continued strong.

company handling the business in Iowa

DIANA
The Standard Oil Company Ii
complex-highly complex organiza-
ton. 1t is at least complex so far as
the public and the government Off
cials are concerned. So far as the
owners of the company are concerned
it is simple enough for the money all
goes into certain pockets. The Stan
dard Oil Company of Iowa" was orig
inally organized to do business In 9TH
er western states than Iowa. The Con-
tinental Oil Company, another Stan
dard subsidiary, is now handling that
business. 1t is organized in Iowa also
and has offices at Council Bluns where
the Standard Oil Company OF Iowa
has offices. If anyone were to go there
they would have hard work finding
the offices for some obscure lawyer Is
engaged to act in official capacity
represent the company and hold t Z
charter down and the business is
done in Colorado, Nebraska, Idaho p
other western states.
The reason for this arranger ~ ts
that when anyone wishes to g the
Standard Oil Company in he
discovers that it is not the ~ Andard
Oil Company Of Iowa" that he has a
grievance against, but the STANDARD
Oil Company of Indiana" He brings
his suit and the company, "the Stan
dard Of Indiana" at once transfers Its
suit to the federal court, some of the
judges Of which have a strong leaning
to the corporate interests. Anyone out
in some western state having a griey-
ance finds that 1t is the Standard OH
Company '.of Iowa" that he must sue
and so again it goes to the federal
courts.
1t is believed here that the reason
for the company reducing its capitali-
zation Of the Iowa company is because
this company is not doing any business
anywhere just at present, and the de-.
sire only Is to hold the charter. Only
about three years ago the company
renewed its articles of Incorporation.
These corporations never let go OF
anything they get hold of.
When the Iowa department G. A. r.
meets for its annual encampment and
reunion there will be three candidates
for the position Of department COM
mander. These are ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Milliman. Of Logan; Hon. Mike
Mcdonald. OF Bayard, and Hon. H. A.
Dyer OF Mason City. The annual en-
campment will be held next month.

Lansing, Mich, May 19.--Bryan Is
the rock on which the Michigan dem
ocracy threatens to split when the
state convention is called to order here
tomorrow. Sentiment among the dele
gates who are gathered in the hotel
lobbies today is about evenly divided
between the Nebraskan and Governor
Johnson of Minnesota, and a warm
fight between the two factions is ex-
pected when an attempt is made to
pledge the delegation to Bryan.

Johnson LOSES ALABAMA:
Bryan Unexpectedly Wins in the State
Primary Election.

Montgomery, Ala. May 19.-Incom-
plete returns from the primary indi-
cate that William ]. Bryan will be
supported by the Alabama delegation
70 the national convention at Denver.
A large vote was polled for Governor
johnson in the southern part of the
state, while the northern counties fav-
ored Bryan. Governor Johnson car
ried the town OF Demopolis, and the
sfirst ward heard from In Birmingham
gave Johnson majority Of sixty-
three.
Early returns Indicated Johnson's
Endorsement by Mobile county.
johnson had counted largely on
Alabama, and was quoted as saying
that he would "know where he stood"
after the Alabama primary.
Bryan carried JEFFERSON, the largest
county In Alabama, by q safe major
ftv. Johnson's vote will be heaviest in
the cities where the counting is slow.
Local contests and the fight of the
johnson forces against what, seemed
1 Bryan certainty have served to cre-
rte unusual interest. This Is the first
time in the history of the state that
the voters in primary have expressed
q choice direct for presidential NOM
ihation.
The vote cast will be canvassed
within ten days by the state commit
tee. There will be no state convention,
the nominees of the primary being
thus chosen direct for Denver.

changing the number to six, twelve,
and finally eight.
The request Of Missionary Bishop
James NJ. Thoburn for retirement was
granted.
BY a decisive vote the committee on
the state Of the church today decided
to recommend that the paragraph on
amusements remain as 1t now stands,
and thus negatived the recommenda-
tion OF the bishops.
The time for organization between
the Methodist Episcopal church, South,
has not yet fully come is the report
OF the committee on federation. The
committee, however, concurs in the
recommendation Of the joint commits
sion on federation. that where there
are churches OF the two branches of
Episcopal Methoddsts they may unite
IL a majority Of the membership OF
both branches desire. The committee
concurs also in the recommendation OF
the joint commission on federation for
the appointment OF a federsl council
of two churches, which shall be in
vested with advisory powers in regard
to worldwide missions, Christian edu-
cation, the evangeMzation of the un-
churched masses and the adjustment
of misunderstanding between the diff
ferent churches of Methodism."

COAL FOR MANY YEARS
Pennsylvania Owners Say GrandchiId-
rem Of Present Generation Will Be
Mining Fuel-Disasrees With Dr..
Steinmetx.

X i "a
New York, May 19.-Even the grand
children Of tl.e present generation will
not witness the exhaustion of the
Pennsylvania coal deposits, according
to statements of the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western railroad officials
with reference to the prediction of DR..
Charles Steinmetz, an electrical en-
gineer, in a lecture here Sunday that
many persons now alive would see the
last of the nations supply Of coal, both
soft and hard.
1--WE have ourselves $50 100000 tons
of anthracite said one official. "of
the kind we are mining now. There
are immense bodies of the lower grade
coal that are not mined at all. We
mine at present about 100000 tons
per year, 50 that the known supply
and quality now mined Will last forty
five years at the present rate Of pro-
duction. Pennsylvania has the only
anthracite in the country, but there is
bituminous coal in practically every
state in the union. Certainly there
need be no apprehension such as that
expressed by DR.. 'Steinmetz."
