Pennsylvania Statute Declared
Unconstitutional By State
Supreme Court
LOWER COURT is SUSTAINED
Court Rules That Law Transsresssd
Provisions of Constitution and That
injustice Wa. Done to Corporations
Railroads Entitled to Fair Profit,
Court Says.


Philadelphia, Jan. 2O.-The two-cent
railroad fareslaw now in force in Penn
sylvania. was today declared unconsti-
tutional by the state supreme court,
which handed down an opinion affirm
ing the decision Of the common pleas
court Of Philadelphia, rendered last
September.
The decision declares that the
real question In the case is whether
the new rate law transgressed the
provisions Of the constitution that leg
islative power to allow charters shall
be exercised only In such a manner
that no injustice shall be done to in
corporators Continuing, 1t says:
"A corporation is entitled to make a
fair profit on every branch Of its buh-
mess, subject to the limitation that
Its corporate duties must be performed
even tho at loss. What is fair profit
is q highly complicated and difficult
question. The court below availed
themselves of all the best evidence that
was offered or shown to be obtainable,
and considered it with exemplary pa-
tience and care, and their conclusion
that the enforcement OF the act against
the complainant would do an injustice
to the incorporators, is beyond just
criticism"

Answers Tillman's Adverse Comments
on Action of Secretary of Treasury.
Washington, Jan. 20.-An animated
debate occurred in the senate today, in
which Tillman made many comments
upon what he termed the failure of the
secretary of the treasury to obey the
resolution of the senate calling for in
formation concerning the recent issue
of Panama canal bonds Aldrich ex-
planned that the delay in the secretary's
response resulted from the necessity of
making a full statement on transactions
that had taken more time than had
been anticipated. He assured the sem
ator that the information would be
forthcoming. and spoke in high terms
of the secretary of the treasury. Con-
siderable discussion was provoked in
she house today over a bill appropri-
ating $25O,0OO for an immigration sta
ton in Philadelphia. Because the
measure was reported by the immigra-
ton committee, number of the mem
bers thought the committee was en-
croaching in the domain of the COM
.mittee on public buildings and grounds,
- Bartholdt, of Missouri, its chair
mn, said that he waived his rights in
the matter, inasmuch as the money
was to come out of the immigration
fund.

THOMPSON is CAUGHT
Ames Man Who Left Notes Indicating
Suicide Found at Albany, Mo.-Now
Under Arrest.

Special to Tines Republican.
Council Bluffs, Jan. 20.--Chief Of
Police Richmond has received word
that Ralph d. Thompson Of Ames, who
leaving behind him letters that lead to
the belief he had committed suicide,
was under arrest at Albany, NO.,
awaiting orders from the local author
tiles.
From the first the police have ad-
hered to the belief that Thompson had
not made away with himself, and as
soon as they were notified of the young
mans disappearance they at once sent
his description to all the surrounding
towns and cities with orders for his
arrest.
In his letters and his conversations
with his roommate, Luther Mayer at
the Watt boarding house on Fourth
street, Thompson intimated that he
was short in his account with the Ne
braska Telephone company. ne hao
been working for that concern as COL
lector for about two months before his
disappearance and on the day OF MS
departure, turned in his books and
money several hours earlier in the day
than was customary.
Manager A. p. Fair reported to
Chief of Police Richmond a letter left
b,y Thoynnson IN which the latter said
he was about $50 short in his account.
Thompson inclosed several checks from
his collections. Later in the day fol-
lowing the disappearance, officials OF
the telephone company denied that
Thompson had turned in short and de-
clared that so far as his books had
been checked, he was square with the
company.
Chief Richmond said that Thompson
would probably be brought back to
Council Bluffs to answer any charges
that might be preferred against him.

Grinnell, Jan. 20.--The result OF the
election on Saturday last was sur
prise to many Of the citizens of Doth
city and township. The proposition to
vote a four percent tax in aid OF the
Waterloo, Pella and Southwestern rail-
way was voted down in the township
by majority of %, but was carried In
the city by majority of 81. The first,
second and fourth wards of the city
were favorable to the road, but the
third ward was against the PROPOSE
ton. The decision Of the promoters as
to future action regarding the city and
township of Grinnell is not yet made
known. They may either go on and
build the road thru the city and town
ship as first planned accepting the
proportion of tax that the city would
pay at four per cent and ignoring the
township; or they may insist upon such
a subscription to stock by those who
are friendly to the road and will make
up the share the township would have
paid had the vote there been in favor OF
the road Failing to get such subscrip-
tion the road may be surveyed thru
other and more favorable territory.
Rumor has it that Newton has prof
fered the amount of a five per cent tax
If the promoters will divert the. road
thru that city.

Thaw also wanted her to drink laud-
