JOHN GROGAN, POTOSI
DECLARED INSANE
Had Examination In County,
Court Here Yesterday.
Committed to State Hospital for Insane
at Mendoza by Judge GoodseII,
Yesterday.

For some time past John
Grogan, Potosi, plasterer and
bricklayer has been acting queerly
and some of the -neighbors have be-
come alarmed, in the belief that he
was mentally unbalanced. They &C.
cordingly petitioned the village
council to have him examined as to
his sanity and the order was
made by the board. Grogan was
broght to Lancaster yesterday by
Marshal Nick Twohig for examina-
ton in the county court, which wa
made by Drs. Godfrey and Hassell.
They found the man to be IN de-
mented condition and Judge Good
sell issued an order last evening
committing him to the state hospital
for the insane at Mendoza.

FEDERAL HIGH COURT
AGAINST THE STATES
Railroad Rate Laws Held to be
Unconstitutional.
Justice Harlan Gives Strong Dissenting
Opinion From the Ruling of
the Court.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 30
In refusing to grant to Atty. Gen.
Young of Minnesota a writ of
habeas corpus releasing him from
the penalty imposed by the United
States Circuit court for the district
of Minnesota on the charge of con.
tempt Of court in instituting pro-
ceeding In a state court for the en-
forcement of the railroad rate law
after the federal court bad prohibit
ed such a course, and in affirming
the decision of Judge Pritchard OF
the United States cncuit court for
the Western district of North Caro-
line discharging from imprison-
ment James Fl. Wood, ticket
agent of the Southern railway at
Asheville after he had been sentenc
ed by the Asheville Police court to
serve a term on the rock pile on the
charge of collecting for a ticket on
that road a greater price than was
permitted by the state railroad law,
the Supreme court OF the United
States today added another to the
series of decisions which have rend-
cred notable the present term of
that court.
In both cases the right of the
states to fix rates for railroad trans
portation was the issue and both
involved conflicts between the
federal and the state courts. The
decision In each case was opposed
both to the states and TO their
courts. The opinion of the court
in both cases was announced by
Justice Peckham and with the ex-
ceptiOn of Justice Harlan, all the
other members of the court stood
benInd him in the announcement of
the courts finding.
Justice Harlan read a dissenting
opinion in the Young case in which
he took the view that the suit was
practically a proceeding against the
state and therefore not permissible
under the eleventh amendment to
the constitution. He therefore
characterized the opinion as era
making in the history of the court,
said it had the effect of closing the
courts of a state against the state
itself and predicted that the result
would be disastrous
The two cases were so similar
that both practically were decided
in one opinion. The principal pro
nouncement was made in the Min
nesOta case.
