IA CLAUSE ILLEGAL
4 FEDERAL COURT VERDICT KNOCKS OUT THE coMMoDl-
 TIES SECTION.
TWO JUDGES AGAINST LAW LONE FOR II
The Portion of the Hepbu n Act De- signed to Prevent Railways From Transporting Articles They Produce Declared Unconstitutional Roads Own 90 Per Cent of Coal Mined.

Philadelphia, Sept 1.-The com modities clause of the Hepburn rail road act was declared to be unconstl- tutional Thursday by the United States circuit court for the Eastern district of Pennsylvania.
 The commodities clause constitutes the fifth paragraph of the first section of the interstate commerce act, it be ing one of the amendments made by the Hepburn railroad act of June 29 1906. The clause provides that after May |, 1908, 1t shall be unlawful for any railroad company to transport from on estate to another or to any foreign country any article or com. modity, manufactured, mined or pro duced by 1t under it's authority, direct ly or indirectly, except such articles for it's use in the conduct of it's busi- ness as a common carrier.
 The clause exempts timber and it's manufactured products and is aimed particularly at railroads owning coal ,inines.
 The case was argued June l6 and li before Judge George M. Dallas. Judge George Gray and Judge Joseph Buff. fington. Judge Gray and Judge Dallas agreed in an opinion that the clause is unconstitutional Judge Burlington dlssented but did not file an opinion.
 The railroad companies involved were the Jersey Central. the Lehigh Valley. the Erie. the Delaware. Lacka- wanna & Western, the Delaware X Hudson, the Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia & Reading
 Ninety per cent of all the unmined anthracite coal in Pennsylvania be longs to these corporations or to coal companies whose shares are held by them. The Philadelphia & Readings case was not argued along with the others because of certain questions of law involved in it's ownership.

TAKE FISH WITH BARE HANDS
One Way of Making Good Catches in
 South Carolina.

E. D. Smith. A. H. Gasque, c. and A. Hugh Hines went fishing near Ef- fingham the other day where a creek runs into Lynche's river. They had fine sport and caught 10S of the finest red breasts in the country.
 Fishing down there is done with the hands. All you have to do is to feel under the logs and in the stump holes and pull out the fish It is character istic of the red breast, we are told, not to leave their hiding place. They stick so close to it that one can liter. ally pick them out of the water with the hands. These gentlemen had fine fun. They caught some shad, but they were poor, except one, and were put back in the water. One snake was killed.
 The only bad thing about fishing this way is the fact that there are some snakes under the logs, and if by chance the fisher gets his hands on a moccasin there is generally something doing Mir. Johnson, who lives in that section, interviewed snake the other day in some trash where red breasts were hiding, and now he has a game inger.-Florence Times.

FLEW FOR AN HOUR.
oRvlLLE WRIGHT NOW HOLDS THE WORLDS RECORD
 FOR TIME FLIGHT.
TIE AMERICAN AVIATOR LEkDS THEM ALL
Went to a Maximum height of Sixty Feet-covered a Distance of Nearly Eleven Miles--Averaged 36 Miles an tiour-The AeropIane Worked AL most Perfectly.

Washington, Sept. 10.-A new worlds record in aeroplane flights was established at Fort Myer, Va, early Wednesday when Orville Wright cir cled the broad parade grounds there 5S times and remained in the air 57 minutes and 31 seconds, official time.
 His smashing of all previous rec ords carried out his promises of Tues day evening after his two remarkable ascensions when at the maximum height of GO feet, going 10% miles in all and averaging 36 miles an hour, he spent II minutes in one flight and eight minutes in the other.
 Wednesdays achievement was ac- complished under ideal weather con ditions and in the presence of about 25 spectators, aside from the soldiers. The ascension was made at S:15 o'clock Wednesday morning. It was an easy ride in the air, the machine was under perfect control and the aviator travelled at a speed approxi- mating 36 to 38 miles an hour.
 Mir. Wright expressed himself as highly pleased at what had been ac- complished by his machine and de clared that had he known that he was so close to being in the air an hour he would have remained that much longer. He said he came down be- cause his motor slipped once or twice and that he believed he had been in the air only half an hour. He prompt ly announced that he would make an sther attempt later in the day, pos sibly not until in the afternoon.
 Except for the slipping of the motor no trouble whatever was experienced in the working of the aeroplane. Ev- erything worked as smoothly as the most perfectly adjusted clock, and the man who assayed to beat all previous records in this branch of aeronautics handled his invention with as perfect ease as trained engineer would han de the lever of his locomotive.
 To some of those who had been closely watching the performances of the machine the new record did not come as a complete surprise. Orville Wright has all along expressed com plete confidence in his ability to break all records and in his previous flights has pointed out that the practically perfect working of his machine aug ured the success which he purposed to achieve.
 He did not even rest content with his performance Wednesday morning. for immediately after alighting he sent for more gasoline and prepared for further flights.

TIE JURY PUZZLED
coRoNER'S JURY UNABLE TO FIX BLAME FOR OMAHA PHY-
 slclAN'S DEATH.
CHARLES H. DAVIS MIXED UP IN CASE
Bank Clerk Formally Arraigned and Released on Bond Signed by Broth. crs---Accused Subject to Fits of In. sanity--A Heavy Insurance at Stake Woman In the Case Held.

Omaha, Neb.. Sept. 11.--'Dr Rustir came to his death by pistol shot fired by a person unknown" is the verdict of the coroner's jury whict took up the greater part of two days hearing evidence, The jury recon mcnded that Charles IT. Davis. who was Tuesday implicated by Mrs. Abbie C. Rice. be held and that his conduct on the night of September l be thor oughly investigated.
 The verdict followed deliberations lasting 21k hours, during which the jurors had before them the evidence as transcribed by shorthand reporters Davis was taken into custody late Wednesday afternoon and immediately taken before Justice of the Peace Crawford, where, after arraignment he was released on bond signed by his brothers.
 Following Tuesdays sensational tes- timony. Davis was placed under sur. veillance at the home of his brother, where he remained until Wednesday afternoon awaiting the action of the coroner's jury.
 Wednesday 1t was stated by Fred erick E. Davis, brother of the man un- der arrest, that Charles H. Davis had been afflicted for about 13 years with spells of insanity. and that they had come on him periodically since that time. He has on three different oc- casions been placed in sanitariums, and on at least three occasions, ac- cording 10 his brothers statement, has been violently insane. On his last re turn to Omaha the afflicted man was given employment in the bank, in the hope that occupation of his mind in a manner which would not tax his men tai strength. might result in relief. He has been in the bank since early in August and was apparently perfectly we'll until two weeks ago, when he again showed signs of mental aberra- tion. This was particularly noticeable in mutterings to himself and queer actions
 His brother at once sent him to Dr. Frederick Rustin for treatment and he was being treated by that physician at the time of Dr. Rustin's death.
 Frederick H. Davis does not believe his brother had anything to do with the death of Dr. Rustin and Wednes- day stated his belief that the physician had implicated him simply to attract attention from the real cause of death. which he considers plain case of suicide
 Mrs. Abbie Rice. whose sensational statement caused the jury to investi- gate the Davis story, is also detained until further investigation can be made.
 The testimony taken Wednesday was merely for the purpose of con firming the details of certain evidence given Tuesday Neither MT. Davis nor his brother appeared at the inquest. and nothing of sensational character was brought out, although one juror declared the evidence of Charles Davis whereabouts during the last half of the night of the shooting was unsatisfactory. Davis will probably be given a formal hearing in day or two, but the time has not been set.

NELSON STILL CHAMPION.
Wins Second Fight With Cans at San
 Fraicisco.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. ll'--bat tling Nelson clinched his claim to lne lightweight pugilistic championship Dy defeating Joe Cans for the second ilne at CoIma Arena Wednesday afternoon. The fight ended in the twenty-hrse round when Cans, beaten down oy q succession of blows from his sturdy conqueror, failed to get up on ms leet within the count of ten. The veteran colored fighter was severely puhlsheu, but the champion, too, bore the marks of battle. From the first clang or the gong to the last moment Nelson forced the fighting, never giving ground and gradually battered down his older ana less vigorous opponent
 Cans succumbed in the twenty-nrst round after being unmercifuily trounced by the lad from Hegeswich. Nelson. in this round, rained right and left blows to jaw and body and Cans sank to the floor Mechanically the now defeated fighter watched Referee Eddie Smith wave his hands apparent ly too far gone to hear nm count. Not until the count of ten was finished did Cans. ashen pale, his face terribly cut and with his eyes glassy, attempt to rise. He realized, however, that it was too late and feebly declared' "I have positively fought my last battle"
 The fight was spectacular and at no time did 1t appear that Cans had a chance to win Time and again he would shoot wicked punches to Nel- sons face and body, but the latter never, for an instance, wayered. Fail ing to arrest the rushing champion at any stage, Cans seemed to lose heart and gradually weakened though he often rallied and fought back fiercely.
