DECISION IN LAND FRAUD CASES
Probable End of Prosecutions In
Western States,

Washington.-The case of former
Congressman j. N. Williamson, OF
Oregon, charged with unlawfully cut
ting timber on the public lands in
Crook county, Oregon, in conspiracy
with 100 others, was decided by the
supreme court of the United States
on Monday, in favor Of Williamson.
The United States circuit court for
Oregon imposed fine of $500 and
sentenced Williamson to prison for
ten months, but the supreme court re-
versed that decision. Unusual sig
nificance is attached to the decision,
in that the decision is expected to
apply to practically all of the prose
cutions brought in arid land states
by the department of justice for al.
legged violations of the regulations OF
the interior department in timber and
stone and coal land cases. The de-
cision virtually sustains the recent de-
cision OF Judge Lewis of the United
States court for the district of Colo

MANY HEADS ARE BROKEN
IN RIOT OF THE RENTERS
Striking Tenants Of Tenement Dis.
tricts In New York City Engage In
Battle With the Blue Coats.

New York.-Incipient rent riots
broke out on the east side on Sunday
as a result OF the tension between the
landlords and the striking tenants,
and before the disorders we're quelled
by the police reserves, which were
called from several precincts, many
combatants were injured and five were
arrested. The police used their clubs
freely, but there was no way to obtain
the number of injured, as they hurried
away and were cared for by friends.
The disorders were general through
out the affected district
The most serious trouble occurred
on East Eleventh street, where a
landlord who had been unable to col.
lect rent ordered his tenants to re.
move the Socialist flags with which
strikers had decorated the buildings.
The landlord was hooted and jeered
by the tenants and other strikers, who
were holding a mass meeting in the
house, and he called the police. The
striking tenants resented the appear
ance Of the officers, and In the clash
that followed the reserves used their
night sticks vigorously. Five protest
ing tenants, somewhat battered, were
arrested. The offending decoration
was removed.
Hardly had order been restored at
this point when the police reserves
were hurried to East Twelfth street,
where striking tenants were making a
demonstration against landlord who
had objected to the flying of red flags
over his property. The crowd failed
to obey the police order to dispense.
and was set upon with night sticks.
One woman, 1t is reported, was rem.
dered insensible during the fight in
which the wives and daughters, as
well as the fathers and sons partici-
pated. The police tried to gain en-
trance into the tenement, but the
strikers barricaded the door, and a
semblance of order having been re-
stored the officers withdrew. Ambu-
lances were summoned to care for the
injured, but the strikers declined to
admit the physicians, stating that
they would call their own doctors.

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL
commo, Carriers Are Not Responsible
For Accidents Caused by Negli-

Washington.-In an opinion by JUS
tice White, the supreme court of the
United States on Monday held to be
unconstitutional the congressional en-
actment of June II, 1906, known as

ing railroads and other common car
riers responsible to employees In ac-
cidents due to the negligence OF fell
low servants or to ineffective appli-
ances. The decision Of the lower
courts was affirmed
The decision was in the suits for
damages--one being the case OF the
widow OF Will Howard, man who
was killed in an accident near Mem
pills. the other that of the mother OF
Norris s. Brooks. a fireman killed on
the Southern Pacific in Nevada. The
Howard case was tried in Tennessee
with Judge Mccall presiding, and the
Brooks case in Kentucky with Judge
Walter Evans on the bench.
The railroads obtained a verdict
against the compliments on the
ground of the unconstitutionality of
the law. Judge Evans and Judge Nc
Call both held that the law was in
valid on the double ground that a
congressional enactment could not be
made applicable to interstate COM
merce, as they claimed was under
taken in this law, and that protection
of the accidents in the interstate
commerce could not be construed as
any part of commerce" of any kind
Both the Kentucky and Tennessee
decisions were affirmed by Justice

law is rot confined to the regulation
