Pennsylvania, in Answer to Government Suit, Declares
 Law Void.
CLAUSE CLASS LEGISLATION
Does Not Undertake to Regulate, But to Prohibit Interstate Com
 merce.

Philadelphia, June 10.--The answer of the Pennsylvania railroad company to the bills in equity filed by the gov- ernment against the various coal car rying railroads to enforce the commod- fly clause of the Hepburn act was fil- ed In the United States circuit court here today. The answer says that the law Is void for the reason that 1t does not undertake to regulate" trade transportation in interstate commerce of anthracite coal but undertakes to absolutely prohibit" its transporta- ton and Is therefore not "regulation" of interstate commerce, and conse- quently Is not within the scope of the commerce clause of the constitution.
 It is also declared that the effect of the clause will constitute taking of the defendants property without due process of law.
 | The answer adds:
 That said clause Is class Legislation unduly and unjustly dlscrlminatlve ir It's results in that 1t expressly permits railroad companies to transport in in. terstate commerce timber and the manufactured product thereof whici may be manufactured or produced bS any such company or under its author. ity
 That the penalties imposed by fh, statute arc of such magnitude, In con travention of the Eighth amendment {, the constitution of the United States and so unduly excessive and extortion ate as to be substantially destructiv of the property and franchises of tn, carriers affected thereby, and In re spect to such carriers to constitute denial of the equal protection of th law"
