RAE LAWS ARE sET ASIDE
Federal Court ERioins Enforce
ment of Alabama
Acts.

MONTGOMERY Ala. March S.-1n a
sweeping decision making permanent the
preliminary injunction issued last August,
Judge Thomas q. Jones Of the federal
court Of Alabama. middle district. declared
that acts which sought to prevent the rail-
roads of the state from going into the
federal court were unconstitutional and
that the anti-railroad acts OF the Alabama
legislature should be suspended pending an
Investigation OF the complaints Of the rail-
roads that the acts were confiscatory.
Judge Jones declares in the opinion that
the issue OF states rights is not involved in
the issue now in the federal court. The
opinion says:
Life would be intolerable in any govern
ment claiming to be at all free wherein
the citizen had no redress against wrongs
done by citizens in the name of the state
The constitution itself. 1t is held, gives
the federal court the right to pass upon
such questions and the real objection to its
exercise is therefore an objection to the
principles of the union. The effect Of the
decision is to declare unconstitutional a
greater part OF the railroad code adopted
by the state legislature and to suspend all
rate acts until the justice of the rates can
be determined.
The opinion had been published and was
in the hands of the printer for delivery
when the United States supreme court rem
dered its opinion in the Minnesota case,
which was similar to those in which the
state of Alabama was a party. In all es-
sential details the opinion was similar to
that rendered by Justice Peckham.

Suspended Must Stay
Ont.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, March
2s-Concerning the suspension OF forty-one
students OF the university and the agita-
tion to secure their reinstatement by the
student body, President David Starr Jor-
dan has issued statement upholding the
action Of the faculty and indicating his de-
termination not to counsel a reconsldera-
ton of the cases of the suspended stu
dents. DR.. Jordan says;
The present difficulty at Stanford univer-
sity has had its origin in the efforts of the
university authorities, trustees and fa-
Guilty to rid the institution of the burden
and disgrace of student drunkenness. The
demonstration of March u was an organ
lied expression of revolt primarily against
the committee, but actually against the
university itself. II was necessary that the
offense should be met squarely and de-
the university will continue to carry out
its policy, without reference to opposition
or protest.
1t is a matter of regret that so many fine
young men have been drawn into this mat
ter by false idea of college spirit. the

obscured by sympathy for their fellows.

d. o. Clark president of the Union
Pacific Coal company, was at his home
422 North Twenty-first street, last night
when asked over the telephone as to his
information of the explosion.
"I have heard that there was an explo-

said Mr.. Clark.
Asked If he was in communication with
the situation and expected news during the
night. he said: mo. not until morning do
expect any news. and then I expect to
take the train for Hanna"
Mr.. Clark said he could not tell what
could have caused the explosion.
1.-The mine was not in operation today;
that is. It was not turning out coal, and
I imagine, though I do not know, that the
men must have gone in there to repair
something, the tracks. perhaps. But this
is pure conjecture on my part. 1, of course,

SHEEP HAVE wlNTERED WELL
wyominE FIOcLs In Good Condition
Plans Made 70 store
Wool.

CHEYENNE, wyo., March 2S.-(special.)
The State Beard Of Sheep Commissioners.
which Is getting everything i'm readiness for
the annual shearing pen inspection, has
given out the statement that sheep In Wy
oming are in better shape now than at any
time in the history OF the industry in this
state. especially at this season OF the year.
The past winter has been favorable for
the grazing Of sheep. and with few ex-
ceptions all sheep have come through in
splendid condition. The sheepmen in most
sections are now confronted with short
feed. owing to the dry.i open winter, and
in sections where green grassy makes its
appearance by this time there is no green
grass. But the growers had immense sup
plies of hay, some Of which has been held
over for two and three seasons. and this is
now being fed to the ewes and weak
wethers. In some instances corn is being
fed to the ewes In preparation Of the lamb
ing period.
sheepmen are looking for unusually heavy
fleeces and good prices. in spite of the
depressed financial conditions The fleeces
will be heavy owing to the open winter,
and prices will be satisfactory. for the grow
ers are in a condition to compel the COM
mission men to pay satisfactory prices, or
the wool will not be sold
In anticipation of a combination to

| Cody and other places. and with those at
Casper Douglas and Clearmont they will
be able to store the entire clip of the state,
which this year will aggregate 4Ooo,Ooo
pounds.
| Banks have been found that advance
10 cents per pound on the wool and arrange
ments have been made for disposing of the
wool to private bidders. or at auction sales.
It is expected the storing Of from 5O,0O),0OO
to 100000 pounds of the Wyoming and
Montana woods will have very important
bearing upon the situation and will in a
| measure not only break up any combination
among the buyers. but will force the con-
sumers Of the wool to pay the market value
| for the clips.
The wool storage proposition has the en-
dorsement of the Wyoming and national as
socations, and as the clips can be handled
very cheaply and at small rates of interest
to the grower. it is expected that>the plan
| will succeed from the start. Heretofore the
growers have been completely at the mercy
of the buyers, or commission men. but large
profits during the last two years have
enabled the sheepmen to get out of debt
obtain surpluses and unlimited credit, and
thus become almost II not wholly inde-
pendent of the middlemen.
