TWO CENT FARE LAW
VOID IN PENNSYLVANIA
State Supreme Court Holds Act I'M
CONSTITUTIONAL, Affirming Recent
Philadelphia Decision.
FEDERAL COURTS ARE OPEN.
Missouri Law FORGETTING Charters Of
Companies Appealing from State
Tribunals Declared Invalid.

The 2-cent railroad fare law in force
in Pennsylvania was declared unconsti-
tutional by the State Supreme Court,
which handed down an opinion affirm
ing the decision of the Common Pleas
Court of Philadelphia, rendered last
September. This important victory for
Eastern railways. which may foreshad-
ow similar victories throughout the
country, came simultaneously with
news from Kansas City of Federal
court decision declaring void the new
Missouri law FORGETTING the charters of
railway companies appealing State
cases TO the United States courts. The
vote of the Supreme Court on the 2-cent
fare law stood to g
The 2-cent fare law was enacted by
the last Pennsylvania Legislature. the
bill passing both houses BY Il virtually
unanimous vote. The railroads fought
the bill vigorously and after it became
law the Pennsylvania Railroad began
suit in the Common Pleas Court to re-
strain the County of Philadelphia from
enforcing the act. The railroad con-
tended that the law was unconstitu-
tional in that it was unreasonable and
confiscatory and the court sustained
the company's contention. The county
then took the case TO the State Supreme
Court. Other railroads brought similar
action in several counties. but the Penn
sylvanias suit was the only one to
reach the Supreme Court.
Cannot Forfeit Their Charters.
At Kansas City, Mo-. Judge Smith
Mcpherson of the United States Dis
trict Court declared void and unconsti-
tutiOnal the statute passed by the Mis-
souri, Legislature in 1907 forbidding
foreign corporations from transferring
suits brought against them from the
State to the Federal courts under pain
of forfeiture of their charters. The APP
plication of several railway companies
for an injunction to prevent the Secre-
tary of State from enforcing the law
was granted by the court.
The Missouri law which the decision
affects provides specifically that if any
foreign or nonresident railway cOrpor-
alton, created and existing under 'the
laws of any other State and doing
railway business from one point in the
State to another point also within the
State, shall remove & case from the
State court to a United States court
without the written consent of the 9TH
er party. or shall institute any suit
against citizen of the State in any
Federal court without said written con-
sent. the Secretary of State shall re-
woke it's license to do business from
one point within the State to any Other
point within the State.

Ors and would pay all Indebtedness.
Investigation of the failure continued
until early in 1906, when matters be-
came serious for Walsh, and he was
arrested on complaint of the district
attorney. The main charge on which
Walsh was placed on trial is in effect
that he on Nov. IS, 1905, in sworn re-
port to the comptroller, understated
the amount of the banks loans to its
officers and directors by nearly $1,000
GOO, and overstated other loans to q
generally similar amount. The result
was to hide the fact of $3,000,000 loans
by Walsh to himself. Tragedy and
scandal entered the case for the first
time when Attorney Hamill was made
the target for the weapon of Mrs.
Beatrice Metcalfe, who followed the
lawyer out of the courtroom and fired
at him in an effort to kill him.
John r. Walsh's conviction of felony
in the seventy first year of his age
came as a shock to the community
where he has lived and prospered for
so long. Until q little over two years
ago his position in Chicago was, and
for many years had been, one of infu-
ence and responsibility. He was sup
posed TO be very rich man. He had
taken part in every great enterprise
for the building up of the city. His
judgment was respected, his integrity
unquestioned. And now, in his old
age, twelve of his fellow citizens. after
probing into his life, declare him
guilty of a serious crime, punishment
of which is Imprisonment.

Former Financial and Political Chief
in Chicago Is Convicted.

The jury in the case of John r.
Walsh, the Chicago banker and politi

trial was one of the most bitterly con-
tested legal struggles known in the his
tory Of the Chicago federal courts.
Walsh was a UNIQUE figure in the
history of Chicago. His growth has
been practically concident with the
growth of the city. AS a boy he came
there when the city was a village. and
as man the village that he knew has
grown TO as great proportions as him.
