SUPREME COURT TO PASS
ON COMMODITIES CLAUSE
WITHIN 60 DAYS, is CLAIM

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-That an
appeal doubtless will be taken within
sixty days directly to the supreme
court of the United States from today s
decision of the United States circuit
court at Philadelphia declaring Tncon-
stitutional the commodities clause OF
the Hepburn act was the statement OF
Acting Attorney General Russell today.
The action of the Philadelphia court
created wide interest at the interstate
commerce commission and the depart
ment of justice. Interstate Commerce
Commissioners Judson Clements ex-
pressed the hope that the decision rests
upon some durable defect in the Ian
guage of the clause. He said:
II don't know the grounds upon
which the clause in question is held by
the court to be unconstitutional. l can
not therefore discuss the decision, ex-
cept to say that trust it is not upon
the broad ground that congress has not
the power to prohibit carriers engaged
in interstate commerce from carrying
their own products in competition with
their patrons. SO long as this practice
is permitted the temptation to dtscrim-
mate is ever present and too strong for
resistance. The indirect methods of
discrimination are past finding out In
many instances until they have done
their deadly work. 1t has been shown
that the practice has resultd in intol-
cradle consequences"
During Senator Knox term as attor-
ney general an act was passed upon
his recommendation and approved
June 20, 1906. providing for eXpediting
such cases and assigning them fol
holding at the earliest practical day
and it is decided that they shall have
priority of hearing and determination
by the supreme court of the United
States over all other except crimina
cases. Attorney General Bonaparte is
out of the city Acting Attorney Gen
eraI Russell, in the absence of any
specific information on the subject, sait
he had no doubt that an appeal will bt
taken within the sixty days provided
by law.

COTTON TRUSTEES WORK
ON CITY LIGHTING BIDS
Corporation May Take Question to
Courts for Decision on Legality
of Contract Now In
Force
Special to The Herald.


COTTON, Sept. 1O.-In spite of the
opinion of City Attorney Hert to the
contrary the city trustees have ordered
the city clerk to advertise for bids for
the municipal lighting contract for the
coming five years from December l.
A year ago the trustees awarded a
contract for the lighting of Seth Hart
ley, though the time for a new con-
tract was considerably more than a
year away. Hartley sold the contract
to the Home Gas and Lighting COM
pany of Redlands, who are at this time
engaged in building their substation
and lines to undertake the lighting
when the contract of the Edison COM
pany expires this fall.
The city attorney stated that in his
opinion the contract with Hartley is
valid but in view of the action of the
council the matter will probably go to
the courts for a decision. The Edison
company is credited with, being behind
the agitation - knock out the Hartley
contract and of being anxious to secure
a renewal of it's contract.

Sasuma Ito is wanted in this city on
charge of murder.
Ito shot and killed K. Okasah, a
countryman, at 2111s North San Pedro
street on the night of February last.
Ito was a gambler and owner of sew
eral slave girls kept in the house of
Okasaki at 125 Vine street. The two
men quarreled over a division of the
money made by the girls and Okasaki
claimed that Ito had blackmailed him
out of enormous sums.
Okasaki finally refused to honor Ito's
demands for cash and the latter threat
ened to kill him.
On the night of the tragedy Okasaki
taurant talking to 7. Tugvaki. the pro-
prietor of the place. Two strange Jap
anese called Okasaki into one of the
booths in the front of the restaurant
and were served with a bottle of sake.
A few minutes later Ito entered the
booth and talked with Okasaki for a
few minutes.
The men quarreled and Ito suddenly
pulled a revolver from his pocket and
fired five shots at Okasaki. Three of
the bullets took effect in his chest and
abdomen. Ito escaped Immediately af-
ter the shooting and the police have
searched the country for him since.
Okasali died in the ambulance while
being taken to the receiving hospital.
He made a statement before being
moved from the restaurant in which he
charged Ito with the crime. A number
of suspects have been arrested at va
rious times in various places since the
murder, but all proved to be the wrong
men.
The Astoria prisoner is believed to be
the right man and Chief Kern will send
an officer north tomorrow to bring him
back to Los Angeles.
