BoNAPARTE DEFENDS Law
Attorney General Makes Argument
UNFOLDING Commodities Clause
, of Hepburn Act.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1S.-After bril-
liant addresses by Attorney General Bona
parte on behalf of the government, and
John G. johnson of Philadelphia, represent
ing the seven railroads named as defend
ants In the suit instituted to restrain them
from transporting anthracite coal from
mines IN Pennsylvania in which they have
an interest, both sides rested today and the
case was submitted to Judges Dallas, Gray
and Burlington of the United States circuit
court for determination. Both the govern
ment and the defendants will file briefs
covering legal points raised during the ar
guments.
Mr.. johnson, in his address, assailed the
constitutionality of the commodities clause
Of the Hepburn act, under which the pro-
oeedings were instituted, and decried that
authority which seeks to centrallze the
government and segregate the people.
Mr.. Bonaparte. in answer TO Mr.. johnson,
confined himself principally to a defense of
the constitutionality of the commodities
clause and asserted that the power OF con-
gress to regulate and even to prohibit in
terstate when 1t was inimicsl to
public interests could not be successfully
disputed. It is obvious, he said, that con-
gress will not admit that a corporation is
an imaginary thing. 1t cannot be, he con-
tinued, that the same gentlemen can be
the active agents in a railroad company
and a coal company and then deny that the
two interests are not indirectly the same
by taking different names.
Mr.. Bonaparte, in referring to the power
of congress to regulate corporations, even
to the extreme Of confiscation, cited the
case Of a bridge over the Allegheny river,
which was condemned and razed by the
secretary OF war upon the authorization OF
congress. Mr.. Bonaparte said that the
owners Of the bridge, which was erected
by a grant Of the state Of Pennsylvania,
invested their money knowing the right OF
congress to subsequently pass laws based
on changed conditions.
One OF Mr.. Johnson's arguments was
that the power of the railroads to own the
coal properties was conferred by the laws
of Pennsylvania and could not be inter-
fered with.
The court room was crowded again today
and the speakers were given the closest
attention. 1t is said that no matter what
the decision OF the judges OF the circuit I
court may be. the case eventually will
reach the supreme court of the United
States for final determination

Atlanta, Ga, April lS.-That fol-
