CURBS POWER OF
INTERSTATE BOARD
Supreme Court Decides in Favor
of E. II. Hartman and
Otto III. Kahn

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-In deciding
today the case of E. II. Hartman and
Otto II. Kahn VS.. the interstate COM
Of the United States held that the
commission was not entitled under the
interstate commerce law to press ques-
tions relating TO private transactions,
even though they involved dealings in
the securities of interstate railroads,
when the Investigation of which such
questions We're part was begun on the
commissions initiative.
The opinion was announced by Jus
tice Holmes and dealt with the refusal
of Hartman and Kahn 10 make reply
TO questions put by the commission in
the course Of an inquiry concerning the
dealings of Hartman, president of
the Union Pacific railroad, in the stocks
of other railroad companies, many of
which were competing lines. Justice
Holmes said the commissions inquiries
should be confined to cases in which
complaint had been made. He said
privacy should be properly regarded in
proceedings begun by the commission
for its own purposes and that the pow
ers conferred in the interstate COM
merce law exceeded any which have
ever been delegated by a constitutional
body of law makers.
In a dissenting opinion concurred in
by Justice Harlan and Justice Nc
Kenna, Justice Day declared that the
effect of the opinion Of the majority of
the court would be materially to mar
row the scope of the interstate COM
merce law These three justices de-
cIared the questions of the commission,
so far as they were sustained by the
United States circuit court for the
northern district of New York. were en-
tirely proper and should have been an
swered by Hartman and Kahn. JUS
tice Harlan went even further and held
that all of the commissions questions
should have received responses. JUS
tice Moody did not participate in the
case.

LIKE SOME OTHERS
ew.weeks ago in a number of our
neighboring states United States sem
ators were UP for reelection. I find
that in nearly every case their record,
though briefer, is very similar to yours.
United States Senator Fulton went be-
fore the republican voters of Oregon
upon his record. but the republican
voters Were convinced that the senator
did not represent the people. He was
defeatt d. United States Senator Ankeny
of Washington for similar reasons met
the same fate. Although a republican,
he received but II 900 votes in the great
state of Washington. In North Dakota
United States Senator HanSbrough met
a like fate for like reasons. In South
Dakota United States Senator Kittredge
likewise was defeated by the republi-
cans because he represented special in
tereSts. In Kansas United States Sem
ator Long, whose record is strangely
like yours, was defeated by the repub-
licans of his state. I am un-
willing to believe that the republicans
of California are unlike the republicans
of other states. A few of my straight
laced party friends are apprehensive,
fearing that in this line of action 1 am
violating party ethics. But I believe,
with President Roosevelt. that the
crime lies in the tolerating of the
wrong. not in making it public. :
1t is by virtue of my opposition to these
things for which you stand that I have
a vote to give, and / am unable to see
how. without violating my oath of office
and betraying my constituents, 1 can

WITH THE RAILROADS
Some of the best constitutional law
yers in the senate desired a law which
would prevent railroads from going into
court with inJunctlons against theinter-
state commerce commission. On page
6612 you voted against the measure.
On page 66f4 YOU voted against an
amendment to prevent the railroads
from asking injunctions on ex parte
hearings without giving the commission
On page 6e72 you voted. against an
amendment which provided that iniunc-
tions s&Duld not be granted against the
interstate commerce commission unless
two judges-one circuit judge-should
be present
On page 66S5 your vote is recorded
against the proposition of allowing the
Interstate commerce commission. of it's
own motion to correct unfair rates
On page 6774 your vote is recorded
against prohibiting. Judges who pass
upon railroad questions from owning
railroad stocks in roads they pass upon
You are also on record against a law
providing that when a railroad intro
duces evidence in court that it did
not introduce before the commission the
commission should be given chance to
pass upon the new evidence This was
to prevent railroads trying one case in
the commission and another in the court
to gain time.
On page 6552. volume 40 of the Con-
gressional Record, you are on record
against the proposition of prohibiting
free passes by railroads.
On page 7014, the same volume. your
vote is found against prohibiting the
railroads from competing with citizens
and others in various lines of business.
An obviously unfair thing for railroads
to do, as they can carry cheaper than
their competitors

on record against the railroad telegra-

Tired of the slow life of a Walla

Conrad Geitmann, aged seven and eight
years, yesterday afternoon started from
their home at 233 Malcolm street and
headed for the A.-Y.-P exposition at
Seattle. Loading a little express wa

Junk of all kinds, they started on foot
for Seattle or the Klondike.
Arrived at the head of Birch street
they pitched camp; but before they
had finished their nap and were ready
OF take up the second lap of their
Journey, they were seen by residents
Of the neighborhood and reported to

went after the little fellows and put
them in the juvenile ward of the new

mann appeared and took the little
chaps home.

Il didn't see any place that looked as
good to me as the Walla Walla coun-
try does In the east they are having
light crops, as usual, but Occasioned
more this year by excessive rain than
from the lack of it. In Illinois, where
I visited for some time, wheat is fairly
good but corn is hardly worth cutting
and oats are very poor. All through
the states of the middle west the crops
will be light and while people may talk
of poor crops here, they don't know the
meaning of the word compared to
what the east is getting.

OLD COUNCIL DIES
IN new CHAMBER
PRESENT BODY WILL MEET TO.
NIGHT FOR ONLY TIME IN
CITY HALL.

For the first time in his administra-
ton, and for the last time, at any rate
in the present administration, Mayor
Kellough will WELD his gavel in the
new council chambers in the city hall.
Tonight is the first meeting of the
council in the new building and the
last meeting the old council will hold.
After planning and waiting for months
for the new building, the present
council, which has borne the brunt OF
the battle in the fight for the new ad-
ministration building, will enjoy its
accommodations for but one meeting.
When Mayor Kellough came into Of
flee, the old city hall had been torn
down and the new one had been start
ed. The council had been holding it's
meetings for some time in the Ransom
building. But the new administration
saw ahead of it the new city hall.
Then came the trouble with the bonds
and work was suspended. The city
hall glimmered further and further
in the dim distance and for a while it
looked as if the present council would
not occupy it at all.
Brighter days came, however and
the work on the building was rushed
to completion. The council cheered up
and worked in the hope that they
would get the use of the building be-
fore they went out of office 1t was
race of death against time Hanging
on to it's life by a mere thread the
, members of the city legislative body
watched anxiously the work of the
contractor and the calendar which
marked the end of it's own official ex-
istence.
Their reward comes tonight. They
meet for once. just once. in the new
city hall. 1t is the last meeting for
the council, and though some of the
members hold over it will be a new
council that after tonight has the ben
eft of the comfortable quarters in the
new building. Mayor Kellough passes
to his reward early.
OF the present body, Councilmen
Whiteman, Stack and Bachtold hold
over. Mayor Elect Tausick is succeed
ed as councilman from the Fourth
ward by Albert Niebergall; Fritz Lehn
takes the place of w. p Mexican; Fred
Hull goes in to fill the place left va
cant by Guy Bridges; and c. H. Cum
mings succeeds to the chair of Coun-
Gilman Durham. Incidentally it might
be mentioned that Mayor Kellough is
succeeded by Eugene Tausick, and that
Clerk Hart succeeds himself.
The new aldermanic chambers are
in the north end of the new building
and on the east side. The room is
large and commodious and is beau
tifully finished. The old room in the
Ransom building, where have been
fought so many battles in days
gone bly, are for rent. Their period
in city history is gone and from now
henceforward the battles for street
paving, sewer connection and water
mains will be waged in the new build
ing.
