were conducting an investigation
which would be embarrassed by pre-

property owned by him, which he

declared as false the accusation which
Speaker Cannon made yesterday at
Springfield, Ill, that he was worth ST.
900 900, and called upon the speaker
to be as frank in making known to tho
world the amount Of his own earthly
possessions. In the course of his re-
marks Cannon was credited with say
ing that Bryan had accumulated S1,-
100000 selling wind and ink to the
public Bryan referred to Cannon as
the third man in influence in the gov
. eminent, 'if not even above the vice
president, in his power to influence
legislation" and said that it was only
fair the speaker should apply to HIM
self the same rule that he applied to
him, and take the public into his con-

Bryan, after quoting from Cannon's
remarks, said:
MANY exaggerated statements have
been made in regard to my earthly
possessions, but this is the first time
the statement has been made by any
man Of political standing or RESPONSE

HITS HEPBURN ACT
Commodities Clause, Aimed at Rail-
roads Owning Mines, demonstrations
al, According to Decision Of United
States Court.

Philadelphia, Sept 10-The commod-
tiles clause of the Hepburn railroad
act, was today declared to be uncon-
stitutional by the United States cir
cult court for the eastern district of
Pennsylvania The clause provides
that after May /, 1908, it shall be un-
lawful for any railroad company to
transport from one state to another,
or to any foreign country, any article
or commodity, manufactured, mined or
produced by it or under its authority,
directly or indirectly, except such ar
ticles or commodities as may be nee
essary for its use in the conduct of its
business as common carrier. The
clause exempts timber and its manu-
factured products, and is aimed par
ticularly at the railroads owning coal
mines.
The decision was rendered in the
case of the government VS.. the Jer-
sey Central and six other railroads
owning ninety per cent Of the unmined
anthracite coal, and Dallas held the
clause unconstitutional. Judge Buffing-
ton dissented, but did not file an opin-
ion.
Bonaparte Takes Hand.
The clause in the case was consid-
cred so important that Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte came to this city and
personally made the principal argu-
ment in behalf of the government.
Prior to the clause going into effect
the anthracite coal carrying railroads
went before the interstate commerce
commission and declared they could
not comply with the clause without
making great sacrifices. 1t was pointed
out that because of the then existing
financial stringency the companies
could not dispose of their coal prop
critics except at tremendous loss.
They further declared their conviction
that the clause was unconstitutional.
Thereupon the government agreed not
to enforce the clause until a decision
was had upon the law points involving
it's constitutionalitX.
The railroads in their answers to the
governments complaint gave seven
chief reasons. why the clause was re-
pugnant to the constitution. among
them being that it was confiscatory,
discriminating and prohibition, not
regulation; that it deprived the rail-
roads of liberty and property" and
violated the right reserved to states.
The court holds the commodities
clause is not a regulation of commerce
within the proper meaning of the
words used in the commerce clause of
the constitution, and therefore not
within the power granted by the latter
clause.
