Penalty Clause Only.

st. Paul.-According to the state.
ment of one of the leading railway
lawyers Of the city, it is now the gen.
eral opinion of the railroad attorneys
that the decision of the United States
supreme court invalidates only the
penalty clause of the passenger and
commodity laws. Ever since the an
nouncement of the decision that ques-
ton has been unsettled and upon it
hinged whether roads might not get
together and raise passenger fares
above the 2-cent rate. Since it is be.
lieved by legal departments that only
the penalty clause is held unconstitu-
tional, it is improbable that there will
be any move made even to consider
raising passenger fares.
