COURT BILL PASSES
SENATE DEBATES THE POWER OF
 FEDERAL JUDGES.
overuaan Measure Provides That RestraIninE Orders Against state I,avym Must Be Made By Three
 Judges.

Washington, April 17--A bill regulat- ing the granting by Federal courts of temporary injunctions against state or ficers in the enforcement of state laws was considered by the Senate today.
 Senator Overman. in calling up the measure. explained that 1t prohibits the granting of such injunctions except oy a majority of three judges, two a' feast of whom are required to be cir- cult and the third either circuit or district judge.
 "As Justice Harlan recent said in disdissentinR opinion in the case of At torney General Young of Minnesota, said Mir Overman. We have colne 10 a pretty pass when one Federal judge can enjofn an official of state from the enforcement of law passed by the Legislature of the State"
 Senator Burkett offered a subStithte for the bill.
 Strong opposition was made by Mr. Heyburn of Idaho to the bill on the ground that in the Western part of the country the vast distances and small number of circuit and district judges would cause long delays and embarrass the proper enforcement of the law.
 The fact that the bill applies only to temporary injunctions against the enforcement of State laws was ex- plained by Senator Knox of Pennsyl yania who declared 1t would not en- danger proper enforcement of the law under present methods.
 After a brief discussion the BurRstt substitute was disagreed to and the bill as reported to the Senate was passed.

TWO MEN ROB KANSAS BANK Lock the Cashier in a
 Vault. GOT AWAY WITH $3,000 One of Them Recognized as Citi- ~ zen of Town. Held Pistol on oacer of Institutsea Until He Was Forced to
 YieId-Pesse In
 Pursuit.

Cofeyville. Kas.. April Hive men entered the Citizens State Bank at Chautauqua. twenty-five miles west of Coneeville, at s:30 o'clock this morn Ing. and after forcing Cashier c. c. Walterhopse and Del Easley, q busi- them In and secured all the currency in sight. amounting to about s3.000, and escaped Into the Osage Hills across the line in Oklahoma.
 Four posses are in pursuit and as the roads are muddy 1t Is believed tho robbers will be captured. The robbers secured but half an hours start.
 The robbery was one of the most daring ever executed in this part of Kansas. the scene of many bold hold ups on the part of the Baiton, Starr and other gangs of outlaws.
 Cashier Waiterhouse had scarcely opened the bank at Chautauqua today and placed his currency on the counter ready for the days business when the two robbers entered. The only other person in the place was Del EAaiey. The robbers, both of them well dressed, made their way leisurely to the cash- ier's window. One of them was man well known about town, and when he commanded Waiterhouse and Easley to throw up their hands the latter two took the matter in the light of joke. The serious intentions of the robbers were realized. however, when they both drew revolvers and pointing them at their victims. ordered them to set into the vault.
 Without further ado Walterhouse and Easiey complied. The robbers quickly slammed the door shut and then lslsurely went about their buEi- ness of footing the bank. First they drew down the window shades facing the street and locked the doors to pres vent interference When they had scFaped up all the money in sight they walked out the front entrance and up the main street. One of the men car. riod a gsinnysack.
 Several persons who knew the man whom Wziterh ouse and Easisy say is a well known Chausauau& characters spnke to him h friendly manners Nothing in the appearance of the rob bers betrayed the. part they had just played. A block away they mounted horses that they had tied at the curb ing. and rode of.
 Mfr Walterhouse. states positively that one of the robbers was William Tenant. aged 23 years, formerly of Chautauqua and who recently escaped from jail at Nowata, Ok, where he was being held on a charge of horse steal ing.
 Tenant some time ago borrowed q small sum Of money from the bank and Mir WaTterhouse said that when Tenant entered the bank today he sup- posed he had come to renew the note or take it up.

 Rates.


 St. Louis, April 1T-An opinion hand ed down today by the United States Court of Appeals. rules that a Federal Court has no authority to interfere by injunction to prevent a State Railway Commission from changing rates, until the rates actually are fixed.
 The opinion upholds the decree of the United States Circuit Court of -.-Sras- ka which refused to restrain the Nebraska Railway Commission from modifying rates on grain and grain products transported in Nebraska.
 The Burlington Railroad originally brought the action and is the appellant in the case.
 The opinion of the court states that the petition was premature as the rates had not been fixed and that thirty days notice would have been allowed by the commission in which the mat ter then could be taken to court if the rates were unfair
