Supreme Court Upholds Sl5,OOO
Fine Imposed on Great

VICTORY FOR The GOVERNMENT
That Hepburn Law Does Not kepeal
Provisions Of Elkins Act Is
Decision of Court.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The question
whether the railroad rate law known
as the Hepburn law repeals section l
of the Elkins law, prohibiting rebates
by railroads, was involved in the case
of the Great Northern Railway VS.. the
United States, which was decided yes
terday by the supreme court OF the
United States against the railroad
company and against the contention
of such appeal
The case was instituted in the Unit
ed States district court for the dis
trict of Minnesota. which court fined
the railroad $1,000 each for fifteen VIC.
lations of the first section Of the FL
kins law.
Upholds the Fine.
The decision upholds the fine OF $15,'
900 against the Great Northern road
for granting rebates to the w. D. Dew
ereaux company of Minneapolis, and
in effect sustains the Standard Oils
$29, 900, 900 fine, the Burlington roads
$4,000 fine in the packing house
cases and strengthens the govern.
ment contentious in a large number Of
other cases, including the thousand or
more counts against the Standard Oil,
making it liable to fines aegregating
$6O,000,000.
The company admitted the conces'
sions and fought the prosecution on
the ground that by amending the Ell
kins act so as to provide for punish
ment by Imprisonment rather than by
fines the Hepburn law had so modified
the original law as to accomplish its
repeal and render punishment under it
impracticable.

Committee Calls on Man Who
Sprung Sensation in House
to Show His Hand.
LAVISH N ENTERTAINING
Submarine Boat Builders Alleged to
Have Spent Freely Solons
Are Excited.

Washington, Feb 90. - Representa-
tive Lilley OF Connecticut, who caused
a sensation Thursday by introducing a
resolution calling for an investigation
OF methods said tn have been employ
ed by the Electric Boat company In en-
deavoring to have its submarine boat
chosen by the house committee on ma.
val affairs, is to be called before the
committee on rules. to which the reso-
luton was referred. II he can show
there is substantial ground for his
charges his resolution will be favora-
bly, reported. 1t is said.
Mr.. Loudenslager, author Of the COM
mittee amendment making 1t obliga-
tory on the navy department to pur-
chase eight submarines OF the Octopus
type unless superior submarine
should be obtained by Oct 1, 1908, re-
fused to discuss the Liley resolution
or to reply publicly to Mr.. Lilley's
charge that this amendment was in
effect a delivery Of the prospective
contract into the hands OF the Electric
Boat company.
Mr.. Loudenslager intimated that "at
the proper time" he would be prepared
to refute all charges Of favoritism so
far as his action in committee was
concerned.
Lavish In Entertaining.
The resolution OF investigation was
yesterday a chief topic Of discussion
In the Hobbies and cloak rooms. None
of the representatives was willing to
talk for publication.
That representatives Of the Electric
Boat company have been lavish enter
tanners" In Washington appeared to
be common knowledge, but no one
went so far as to impute to them the
improper motives charged by Repre-
sentative Lilley.
Chairman Foss Of the committee on
naval affairs was unwilling to make
formal statement with regard to Rep
resentative Idlley's resolution and the
charges back of 1t. Mr.. Foss' attitude
was that he preferred not to take Of
flcial notice Of the AFFAIR, because 1t
was now In the hands Of the commit
tee on rules. But personally he thought
that full investigation ought to be
made. provided Mr.. Lilley "could show
that he has the hard ground Of facts
under his feet"

The GOlinza Picnic.

The first annual picnic of the Golinza
Memorial Association was held at Colin
"a, the old home town of most of the
principals, Friday, August l4th, 1908.
Golinzs, the beautiful little village sit
usted in the midst of the picturesque
hills of southern Forest county, contained
about one hundred and fifty inhabitants
in 1905, when the giving out OF the tim
ber necessltated the removal of the mill
by the owners. On the 26th of Septem-
Der, 1905, the last log ia great pine one
that had been preserved for the occasion)
was sawed and the mill whistles pealed
forth the news that Golinza was no more.
A basket picnic was held on the above
date, after which the machinery of the
mill was taken out, the houses of the EN-
ployees torn down and all the lumber in
the yard sold or removed to Kellettville,
most of the employees coming to the lat
ter place to work in the new band mill
erected at Kellettville by the Salmon
Creek Lumber Co., the principal member
of this firm being identified with the old
firm at Golinza.
Last Friday a special train of three cars
and engine conveyed some two hundred
old residents back to the still beautiful
place to spend the day in home coming
picnic. The train stopped at Nebraska to
take on board Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Watson
Rev. and Mis-. W. o. Calhoun, and DIR. j
G. Dunn, who had driven up from Tic.
nesta to be among the merry-makers
One car of the train was devoted to the
dinner baskets and it is no idle boast thai
little more could haYe been carried on
this car. Arriving at Golinza the crowC
disem barked and the hour before dinner
was spent in wandering around the old
place and thinking of old times and asso.
Citations. Dinner was announced al
twelve o'clock and half hour was spent
in enjoying the good things the ladies had
prepared.
After dinner the people listened to 9
very interesting talk by Rev. Mr.. Cal
houn, who spoke for some time on pas
memories, also of the present gathering
and then DR., j. G. Dunn followed with
few we'll chosen words, both speakers re-
ceiving loud applause from the jolly
gathering.
meeting was then called to ordel
with II. Ii. Watson as chairman, at which
meeting it was voted to make the picni,
an annual affair as long as was possible
An organization was effected with tn,
following officers elected: President, H
81. Watson; vice president, G. F. Wat
son; secretary, L. E. Daubenspeck, anC
treasurer, Mrs, G. F. Watson.
A few pictures were taken by pho
tographer John Brennan of Kellettville
showing the crowd in different ways
after which the train returned to Kellett
vile. Not one as far sscertained but tha

THE reports of the State Health Depart
ment show that over 5000 people were
taking treatment at the States county

Commonwealth at the close of the last re-

dispensary, S44 in Luzerne, 3l7 in Phil

jumped from SO to l2O in the month, a
dozen and half of the cases being re-

to accommodate the applicants. Butler
is one example.
