last year, into fragments. Many
of the objections. based upon the If

failed, the prosecutor was ever ready
with others until the testimony fairly
was torn into shreds and had lost en-
tirely the many little touches Of human
interest which were part of the mar

THIS LAW IS VOID
Missouri Cannot Prevent Foreign
Corporation Transferring Suits
to Federal Courts.
JUDGE MCPHERSON DECIDES
The Right lie Granted by Federal Con-
stltution and Act Of Congress
and May Not Be Denied
by the state.

Kansas City, Jan. 21.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson, in the United States dis
trict court here Monday, declared void
and Unconstitutional the statute
passed by the Missouri legislature in
1907 forbidding foreign corporations
from transferring suits brought
against them from the state to the
federal court upon pain Of forfeiture
Of their charters The application OF
the Rock Island, the Santa Fe, the St.
Louis, Kansas City & Colorado, the
Milwaukee G. st. Paul and the Chi
cago & Alton Railway companies for
an injunction to prevent John E.
Swanger, secretary of state, from en-
forcing the law, was granted by the
court.
The Missouri law upon which Mon
days decision is based provides, spe-
officially, that II any foreign or non
resident railway corporation, created
and existing under the laws Of any
other state, shall, without the written
consent of the other party, remove a
case from the state court to United
States court, or shall without said
written consent institute any suit
against a citizen, of the state, in any
federal court, then the secretary OF
state shall revoke the license to do
business, from one point within the
state to any other point within the
state, either in carrying passengers or
freight. And doing such business
shall subject 1t to penalty Of not
less than $1,000 and not more than
$4,000 for each offense. And such
liability shall continue for five years.
It is alleged In this case that COM
plainant is about removing case, and
the secretary will follow that by re-
voking its right to do business. The
defendant contends that this, in ef-
feet, is an action against the state, In
violation of the eleventh amendment
to the constitution. The complainant
contends that the act Of 1907 impairs
Its contract with the state, and denies
II the equal protection Of the laws II
enforced.
Judge Mcpherson, in his decision,
goes into the law Of the case at great
length and quotes freely from previous
decisions to sustain his position.
In concluding Judge Mcpherson held
as follows:
"The Missouri statute OF 1907 is void
because It allows resident company
10 sue In the federal court, II there Is
4 federal question. and denies that
light to q nonresident company.
Regardless Of the last preceding |
the statute is void because
Il seeks to take from the complainant
It's right to bring or remove q case to
The United States court, which right
Is given by the constitution and the
let Of congress. which BY article 8 Of
he constitution Is declared TO be the (
supreme law Of the land, anything In

the wife, and Mrs. William Thaw, the
mother Of the defendant, were on the
witness stand and just as the former
was about to relate anew the story OF
her life, as she told 1t to Thaw in
Paris in 1908, District Attorney Jerome
arose and suggested that In the inter.
est OF public morals, all persons save
those Immediately interested In the
case should be excluded from the
courtroom during the recital OF what
be termed "a horrible tale" The mo.
ton included the representatives OF

The Forrest County authorities
seem to be setting the pace for the
others in the amount of practical
results which they extract from the
county convicts. Horace Culpepper,
Superintendent of the County Con.
vict Farm, in his report to the Board
of Supervisors at Hattiesburg,
stated that he had worked sixty
miles of country road, and, in addi-
ton to that, has made some twenty
five bales of cotton on thirty acres
of ground. 1t means not only that
Forrest County is getting direct
practical results from the more en-
lightened and progressive system
adopted for the disposal of her con-
victs, but that her courts and law
officers are doing their duty in 60
ing after the evil doors, of whom
there seems sufficient to keep the
labor supply well up during the year.
There are no doubts that there are
other counties in which relatively
beneficial results are attained through
the conservative application of the
county convict laws.
Thanks to the operation of the
Hebron County Convict Law, as
passed by the present Legislature at
its first session, the iniquitous leas,

HATTIESBURG RECRUITING
STATION DOES fine WORK

Sergeant w. I. Shaw, who has charge
of the recruiting station for the U. S.
Army at this city, is very much graft
fed by the way young men of this
section of the state are showing their
patriotism by enlisting in Uncle Sans
service.
During the past six days there has
been an applicant for each day, and
just three, or half the number have
been accepted. It is considered a good
showing when one-half of the men who
offer are accepted. This is above the
average, for it takes a good man. phys
ically, to enlist for service in the
army.
Sergeant Shaw states that he is
more than pleased with the work that
lie has done here. The number of en-
listments is much larger than it is in
some cities of a larger size It is the
Sergeant's intention TO visit one or

two points on the New Orleans and
Northeastern railroad next week in
order to give anyone a chance to en-
list who may desire to do so. He will
also do lot of advertising. Among
the towns that he will visit will likely
be Ellisville and Laurel.
Speaking of enlistments Sergeant
Shaw states that more young men
from the country join Uncle Sans
service than from the cities and towns.
He accounts for this by the belief that
there are very few loafers in the coun-
try and if the young men Of the coun-
try communities can't get work, they
will not loaf and hence they join the
service, and make good soldiers.
Taking the years business, so far,
the Hattiesburg recruiting station has
done more work in securing men for
the service than any other city in the
state and more than Mobile. which
has long been a permanent station.
