investigation, James \. Harris had
had a trial before Shoenfelt for pos.
session of an allotment of a Greek
Indian who had not attained his ma.

claimed to have secured a lease from
the Indians guardian. Later when
the Indian was nearly twenty one
year of age Harris claimed to have
had a verbal agreement with him for
the further use of this land. This
agreement both the Indian and the
guardian denied, and brought suit
before the Indian agent to dispossess
Harris of the allotment. Shoenfelt

Two Cent Rate
Unconstitutional
PENNSYLVANIA SUPREME COURT
so DECLARED. IN DECISION
TODAY.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 20.-By a
divided court the Pennsylvania two
cent railroad rate law was to-day de-
clared unconstitutional in the State
Supreme Court. AS the decisions re-
suit, the Pennsylvania railroad has al
ready announced that it will put into
effect the old scale of passenger fare.
Four members of the court united in
sustaining the lower court which de-
clared the law unconstitutional. Chief
Justice Mitchell in handing down the
decree said: "The court below avail
ed themselves of the best evidence OBJ
tainable and considered 1t with exem-
plary patience and care. That their
conclusion of the 1907 law against the
complainants would be an injustice to
the corporation is beyond doubt a
just criticism. Justices Nieperseat
and Stewart fled dissenting opinions,
while Justice Potter gave only quail
fled assent to majority decision.

ADMITTED T06OURT in THHW Trial
Wife Confessed Sin In Diary
In Order To Shield a Relative

when she married Mr.. Meredith on
January 80, 1901. Last year they sep
arated and Mrs. Meredith commenced
a suit for a legal separation and ali
mony. charging desertion. This was
granted by the Brooklyn court, but Mr..
Meredith appealed and it is this ap-
peal that came up for hearing to-day.
A short time ago Meredith created
a sensation in social circles of Brook.
lyn and Philadelphia by charging Nor.
ley. a popular clubman of the Quaker
City, with alternating his wife's affec-
tions and offering as proof a diary al
legged to have been written in Mrs.
Meredith's own hand. in which she
confessed to not less than twenty-five
wrongdolngs with Morley and other
men. Mrs. Meredith has not denied
the authorship of the diary, but de
clares that she made the confessions
to shield a relative.
