ATTEMPT MADE TO
 ROB STREET GAR
6-14-2Ot-su-wed

New Orleans, June 16.-Three men at tempted to hold up and rob a street car on the outskirts of the city today. As a result Henry O'Dell, one of the ban- dits, is at the hospital with a bullet wound in the thigh, and Ernest Reviere, the motorman. is suffering from a sim- liar injury at his home
 ODell says he was persuaded to at- tempt the hold up by the other two. The three bandits boarded the car, and after riding short distance leveled revolvers at the conductor and demanded all tEe money he had. The conductor sought refuge with the motorman, who grappled with O'Dell. In the fight between the motorman and ODell the latter's revolver was discharged twice and each of the men received slight wound. The other two bandits made their escape, bat the motorman and conductor held on to ODell until the police arrived.

HEPBURN LAW IS
 TESTED IN COURT


 Philadelphia June 16.--A legal con test to determine the constitutionality of the commodity clause of the Hep burn act passed by Congress was be- gun in the United States court here today when arguments were made in the proceedings instituted by the gov- ernment to restrain seven coal carrying railroads from transporting anthracite coal from mines in Pennsylvania in which they are interested to points outside the state. The government was represented in the proceedings by At torney General Bonaparate and two special assistants, A. Allison Wilmer and T. C. Spelling. The interests of the roads were looked after by host of lawyers, headed by John G. Johnson of Philadelphia and Robert DeForest of New York. Judges Dallas, Gray and Huntingdon were on the bench. Messrs Winner and Spelling spoke for the government today and were followed by MT. DeForest, who will conclude tomorrow.
 MT. Johnson will finish for the rail- roads and Attorney General Bonaparte will make the closing argument for the government. Both of MT. Bona parte's assistants made a strong de- fense of the commodities clause of the Hepburn act. MT. Winner was em- phatic In his statement that the goy- ernment could regulate railroads, and he asserted that Congress had the power to stop every railroad car on it's tracks. MT. DeForest, for the com panies, took issue with this statement and said that the attorney for the gov ernment tried to wave the red flag alongside that of the stars and stripes.
