missioner Lane Is
Very Hopeful
Says Railroads Are Not Los
ing Money as Result
Of Panic

Washington, D. c., March "a
Every indication points to an inn
tprovement generally in the railroad
and industrial situation of the coun-
try according to reports made by the
great railway systems of America to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. These reports are to the eff
feet that while the railroads suffered
to some extent by what has come to
be referred to as the October pan
ic," the loss was by no means so SER
ious as generally has been supposed.
It appears from the reports that
the effect was felt particularly by
the eastern lines and by the lines in
the southwestern part of the country,
few of which were embarrassed
not only by falling off of revenues,
but by their inability to obtain ready
cash with which to carry on i'm
provements which they had begun
while the western lines and the trans
continental roads have not suffered
materially from the financial depres-
sion. The figures available to the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
dictate also that the general condi-
tion In the country is improving ma
terially, with the prospect that it
soon will be normal or better.
Franklin K. Lane, Pacific coast
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission has made careful anal
ysis Of the figures submitted by the
railroads themselves, to the commits
sion. Mr.. Lane was asked what loss
the railroads Of America had sus-
tanned from the October panic" He
replied that the railroad situation
the country over is not imminently
serious one at the present time.
There are no figures accessible by
which difinite answer to your ques.
ton can be given" continued Com
missioner Lane. From the figures
available to the commission, how.
ever, it does not appear that, taking
the country as a whole, the revenues

Attorney General Young on all off
the points.
!. Substantially, the court decided:
That the district court of the Unit
ed States had jurisdiction. That the
proceedings against the attorney
general were against him as an in
dividual because he was attempting
to enforce law that was clearly
unconstitutional by reason of the
heavy fines imposed, and that the
state law was unconstitutional in
that it denied to all persons equal
protection of law. Several ques-
tons have been presented to the
court by the plaintiff for considera-
ton" Justice Peckham announced,
nand they have been given careful at
tention by the court. One was that
no federal question had been raised.
One fact only is sufficient to deter
mine, and that is whether the rates
to be enforced, under the state law
may not be confiscatory. We hold
that under the circumstances it is
a question of federal nature and
therefore clearly within the jurisdic-
tion of the several courts. 1t is not
only of a federal but of a judicial
nature, in that it is a question
whether the rates are sufficiently re-
| munerative to give at least some re
turn to the railroad companies.
another federal question involv-
ed is as to the very great fines
/ imposed under the legislative act of
April Is and under the regular law
of the state. These fines are so great
as to prevent any person from ap-
preaching the courts to contest the
act and the case therefore comes
within the Jurisdiction of the court

Washington, D.. c., March 23.-l
In refusing to grant to Attorney
General Young of Minnesota, writ
of habeas corpus releasing him from
the penalty imposed by the United
States circuit, court for the District
of Minnesota on a charge Of cons
tempt of court in instituting pro-
ceedings in the state court for the
enforcement of the railroad rate law
after the federal court had prohibit
ed such course, and in affirming the
decision of Judge Pritchard of the
United States circuit court for the
Western district of North Carolina,
discharging from Imprisonment JAS
H. Wood, ticket agent of the South
ern railway at Ashville, after he.Shad
been sentenced by the Asheville po-
lice court to serve term on the
rock pile on charge of collecting
for a ticket on that road greater
price than was permitted by the
state railroad law, the supreme court
of the United States added another
to the series of decisions which have
rendered notable the present term of
that court.
In both cases the right of states
to fix rates for railroad Transports
ton was the issue and both involv-
ed conflicts between federal and state
courts. Decisions in each was OPP
posed both to the states and their
courts.
The opinion of the court in both
cases was announced by Justice
Peckham and with the exception OF
Justice Harlan all other members OF
the court stood behind him in the
Young case in which he took the
view that the suit was practically a
I proceeding against the state and
therefore not permissible under the
eleventh amendment to the constitu.
ton. He therefore characterized the
| opinion as an era in the history Of
| the court, and said it had the effect
of closing the courts Of a state
against state itself, and predicted
that the result would be disastrous
The two cases were so similar tha
both practically were decided in the
opinion, but particular pronounce
ment was made in the Minnesota
case.

SHOT BY A
ADKOREAN
American Advisor of Korean
Government Waylaid
by Avengers
Assassin Shoots Wild and
Kills Confederate by
Accident

San Francisco, Cal, March "a
With a revolver of the wold-be as
sassin concealed in handkerchief,
D. w. Stevens, formerly counselor to
the Japanese embassy at Washing
ton, but for several years diplomatic
advisor to the Korean government
at Seoul, was shot and seriously
wounded this afternoon as he was
about to leave for Washington.
Three shots were fred at Mr.. Stew
ems from a 32-calibre revolver by F.
W. Chang, a dimunitive Korean.
The first bullet missed him and
accidentlly struck and perhaps NOR
tally wounded M. w. Chun, one of
the three or four Koreans who were
lying in wait for Mr.. Stevens. The
other two shots took effect in Mr..
Stevens back, one bullet striking
him under the right shoulder near
the spinal column and the other a
few inches lower. The wounds are
serious, but it is stated that the
chances for Mr.. Stevens recovery
| are good.
The motive for the murderous at
tack apparently arises out of the re-
sentiment of small group of local
| Koreans to the Japanese protectorate
over Korea, who sought to avenge
their country for the important part
played in the reorganization of its
government by Mr.. Stevens.
Chang, who is a diminutive type
of Korean and about as large as a
twelve-year-old boy, says he is 80
years old and has been in this coun
try for two years, coming from FRa.
wall. He freely admitted shooting
Mr.. Stevens.
Eyes, me shoot him. he said to
an Associated Press representative
''Me sorry, no; Him no good. Him
help Japan. Bymbye Korea ale same
Japan"
| It was learned this afternoon that
| a small band of Koreans had been
on Mr.. Stevens track ever since he
arrived last Friday. Inquiry was
made at all the principal hotels yes
terday by them until they located
him at the Fairmont last night.

PROHIBITION IS
GAINING RAPIDLY
ITS PROGRESS CAN BE STAYED
ONLY BY SALOON RE-
FORM

San Antonio, Texas, Mar. 23-Spe-
cial-Journalist VIM. Irwin, who has
been making study of the temper
ance wave now rolling over America,
has just spent several days in San
Antonio. He is preparing a series of
articles to be published in one of the
big Illustrated weeklies, in which he
endeavors accurately to portray the
situation.
The only way, said Mr. Irwin. that
the liquor people can check this pro.
hibition movement is to reform the
saloons and conduct them en- clean,
law-abiding lines. All over the coun-
try drinking men have told me that
they will and have voted the dry tic.
ket, not because they are in favor OF
prohibition, but because they will no,
tolerate disreputable saloons.
Texas is the only state in the I'm,
ion where there are more wet coun,
ties now than there were year agu
and yet, in this state two-thirds of tn.
counties are dry. AS to whether Tex
as as a state will adopt prohibition,
can hardly predict. There seems to
be determined effort to force the
question to an election, and grea,
many prohibition people who are in
favor of local option are not in favor
of state prohibition, but believe such
matters should be left to local sell
government.

Rest wine" The best in all the
liner qualities of the fruit OF the
vine, viz: Sweetness, mellowness,
fragrance-richest food-no alcohol
but plenty Of sugar-nourishment.
I have always heard our opponents
assume that the Savior made the
water intoxicating and then make
that assumption basis of objection
to the temperance cause. How IL
logical. If they are correct alco-
holic poison is better than sugar
and albumen. Ours nourish and
does not poison, theirs poisons and
does not nourish. The Savior

growth of food God blesses the
world. True decay is used for
better growth but we see the glory
Of Gods purposes by growth.
Jesus came to the world to bless 1t
and is faithfully fulfilling his
mission. Intoxicating wine has
cursed the world from Noah to the
present. The Misunderstanding is all
ways a blessing. Would Christ
make wine in harmony with his
character aud mission, not a
mocker and a poisonl" He could
not, as | conceive, have made the

He (The Father) doeth these also

Cana miracle from early ages
speak OF the Creator turning water
into wine by natural growth of the
grape on the vine by rain, dew,
etc. That is, the same wine that
the Father makes in months by
growth, the Son makes by miracle
instantaneously. AS it is proven
that alcohol is not in grapes, nor
in the fresh juice. neither can be
for hours, nor below 4lo Fareign-
heit nor without foreign matter

In contrast with Belshazzer's
drunken sequel we see here a pure
home, viz: Mary the mother Of
our Lord, Christ manifesting His
glory, ever enlarging before our
eyes, and His disciples believed on
Him.
He spake and light shown round His
head,
On bright cloud to heaven He rode,
They to the farthest nations spread,
The glory of their risen Lord"
The Belshazzar feast idea Of
wine is frequently bringing dis
grace OH the church and the
ministry The Cana feast idea Of
wine never brings that disgrace.
