Washington, d. C. Especially In
refusing to great to Attorney General
Young, of Minnesota, writ of ha-
beas corpus releasing him from the
penalty imposed by the United States
Circuit Court for the District of Min
nesota on the charge of contempt of
court in instituting a proceeding in
a state court for the enforcement of
the railroad rate law after the fed
eral court had prohibited such a
course, and in affirming the decision
of Judge Pritchard, of the United
States Circuit Court for the West
ern District of North Carolina, dis
charging from Imprisonment James
H. Wood, ticket agent of the South
ern Railway at Asheville, after he
had been sentenced by the Asheville
Police Court to serve term on the
rock pile on the charge of collecting
for ticket on that road greater
price than was permitted by the state
railroad law, the Supreme Court of
the United States added another to-

portation was the issue, and both in
volved conflicts between the federal
and the state courts. The decision
in each case was opposed both to tho
state and to their courts.
The opinion of the court in both
cases was announced by Justice Peck
ham, and, with the exception of JUS
tice Harlan, all the other members Of
the court stood behind 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, char
acterized the opinion as eramaking
in the history of the court, said II

of a state against the state itself, and
predicted that the result would be
disastrous.
The two cases we're so similar that
both practically were decided in one
opinion. The principal pronounce
ment was made in the Minnesota
case.

THINKS ORCHARD
TOLD THE Truth
j-dge Asks Communication Of Death
Sentence.

Caldwell. Idaho Especially Stating
that he believed that Harry Orchard,
in his testimony in the trials of VIII
lam d. Haywood and George A. Pet
tibone. for the murder of ex-Gover-
nor Frank. Steunenberg, told the
exact truth, attempting to conceal
nothing, Judge Fremont Wood, in
the district court, recommended that
the State Board of Pardons COM
mute Orchards sentence of death to
Imprisonment in the state peniten-
tiary
The sentence of death was pro-
nounced in accordance with the plea
of guilty entered by Orchard last
week, when arraigned. Judge Wood
presided at both the Haywood and
Pettibone trials. Judge Wood based
his recommendation in long legal
decision. quoting authorities and
holding that an equitable right exists
on the part of a confessing accom-
plice telling the whole truth to be
spared the death sentence. He de-
clared he believed Orchard told the
full and exact truth in his confes-
sion.
He said the acquittal of Haywood
and Pettibone by two juries was not
inconsistent with his declaration, as
the juries' verdict did not signify that
Haywood and Pettibone are innocent,
but that the state failed to present
sufficient legal evidence.
