MIGRANTS WILL BE
 MADE TO WORK

Meridian, Miss, May 3-(Special. )-After having rounded up all of the colored vag rants that they could find at large in the city Chief Lyon has issued orders to the police to arrest all white vagrants. It is claimed that there are a number of white men who can give no satisfac- tory explanation to the police as to how they live and all such are to be hauled before the mayor and made to pay the price provided they are convicted of the charge of vagrancy. Several arrests have already been made and if the rag rant law holds good it seems that quite a number of people who have got out of the habit of working will have to go to work or get out of the city. The Mis- sssippi vagrant law, however is a very doubtful article and there are not a few of the most learned lawyers of the state who are of the opinion that it is uncon- stitutional and will not hold water when it gets before the supreme court on a test of its merits.
 The civil term of the Lauderdale coun- ty circuit court, which came to end Saturday, was one of the most strenuous four-weeks sessions held in years. Judge Buckley held court every day of the term from o'clock in the morning until , oclock in the afternon, and on many occasions night sessions were held during the entire four weeks. A large number of cases were disposed of and still the docket was by no means cleared. The criminal term of the court convenes the first Monday in July.
 On the eve of his departure for Okla homa, after long service with Marks Rothenberg company of this city, Mark Baum, son of the late Joseph Baum and son-in-law of l. Marks, the clerks in the establishment presented him with a dia- mond watch charm and silver service as a testimonial of the high esteem in which he is held. MT Baum goes to Oklahoma City to enter business for himself He has been one of the most progressive of Meridians business men and his remov- al is a distinct loss to the city.

LECTURES BEGUN
 AMID PROTESTS

Paris May 3.-The Abbe Loisy inau- gurated his lectures on religious history at the College of France today and was given an ovation by the republican stu dents when he concluded This demon- stration followed counter manifesto tion by the Catholic and Royalist stu dents
 When the abbe began the Catholics and royalists threatened to repeat the tactics they employed against Profes- sor Thalamas, but the republican stu dents were directed to protect the abbe. Two students began to sh out when the lecturer mounted the platform. but they were at once elected and there was no further outbreak. When the abbe left the building the republicans ch eered him and tried to unharness the horses of his carriage and draw the vehicle themselves. but in this they were pre- vented by the police.

Maiestic-Vaudeville.

Manager Gould offers a comedy bill at the Majestic this week. While the act of the Garnelas is a trifle weak the re- maining acts on the programme are classy and are offerings of refinement composed of no ordinary comedy features.
 Chester and Grace, a boy and girl, are thoroughly capable juvenile entertainers. The act is really the best of its kind ever shown in Birmingham. The act is well dressed and is essentially a musical feauture. Both Miss Grace and Master Chester have good voices and their nat ural rendition of attractive songs made perhaps the most favorable impression last night.
 The act of Willie Harris and Joe Nie- meyer and their four shop girls lvene Huycks. Lillian Foltz, Madge Wild and Maude Foltz, is a novelty. The act is a bit of musical entitled "Izzys Busy Day at the Store" The skit is really clever and being characterized by good songs and dancing, is quite attractive. The six members of the little company

COMMENT IS MADE
 BY WICKERSHAM
Attorney General Talks of Su-
 preme Court Decision
GOVERN MENl SUSTAINED
Wickersham Says That Hepburn Rate Decision Carries Out Contention of Government Regarding
 Transportation.

Washington, May 3-Claiming that the principle contended by the government had been sustained by the supreme court of the United States in it's opinion rem dered today in the commodities clause case, Attorney General WiclSersham to- day authorized the following statement, interpreting the decision as he under stands it.
 MT Justice Whites statement in an- nouncing the opinion of the supreme court in the commodities clause cases is one that a proper construction of the so- called commodities clause Is that it pro- hibits the transportation by railroad com panies only of commodities owned in whole or in part by such companies at the time of transportation. and that it does not prohibit them from transporting commodities manufactured, mined or pro- duced by them previous to such trans portation, which are not owned by them at the time of transportation, and fur ther that it does not apply to transporta- ton of commodities owned by other cor porations in which the transporting rail- road company has a stock interest, al- though Congress has the power to extend the prohibition to the aforementioned clause if it shall see fit to exercise it.
 The recognition of the power in Con- gress to extend the act to cover trans portation of commodities mined, manufac- tured or produced by a company in which the carrier is a stock owner m/ies 1t possible for Congress by further legisla- tion to prevent an evasion of the general prohibition of the statute, which might otherwise be reSOrted to In other words as l understand the opinion. it is to the effct that the question whether or not carrier is prohibited from transporting goods which 1t has produced or owned de- bends upon whether it owns or has an interest in them at the time of transpor- tation. If 1t has, then the commodities clause prohibits the carrier from so trans porting, although if that ownership is only the indirect interest resulting from owning capital stock of a corporation which owns the goods, that face does not operate to prevent it from transport ing
 "The decision does not sustain the full contention of either the government or the carriers" says MT. Wickersham. Tt adopts a construction of the statute, diff ferent from that contended for by both the government and the carriers. It. however, sustains the principle contended for by the government, that Congress has power to prohibit a carrier from carrying into competition with other shippers com modities which the carrier owns or in which it is interested. It operates at once to prevent any carrier from transporting any commodity which it owns at the mo- ment of shipment and it confirms in Con gress power to extend that prohibition to the carriage of commodities owned at the time of shipment by a corporation in which the carrier has a stock interest.

RAILROADS WIN
 IN CASE BEFORE
 SUPREME COURT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE n

- ~ - - - 70 or indirect. in them wholly irrespective of the relation or connection of the car rier with the commodities at the time of transporta ton is decided to be untenable. It is also decided that the provision of the commodities clause relating to interest di- rect or indirect does not embrace an in terest which a carrier may have in a pro- ducing corporation as the result of the ownership by the carrier of stock in such corporation irrespective of the amount of stock which the carrier may own in such corporation, provided the corporation has been orgaoiked in good faith.
 2 Rejecting the construction placed by the government upon the commodities clause, it is decided that that clause when all its provisions are harmoniously construed has solely for its object to. prevent carriers engaged in interstate commerce from being associated in in- terest at the time of transportation with the commodities transported and there- fore, the commodities clause only pro- hbits railroad companies engaged in in- terstate commerce from transporting such commerce commodities und-r the follow ing circumstances and conditions:
 Conditions Imposed.
 "A. When the commodity has been man. ufactured. mined or produced by a rail- way company or under it's authority and at the time of transportation, the rail- way company has not in good faith be- fore the act of transportation passed with it's interest in such commodity.
 "B. When the railway company owns a commodity to be transported in whole or in part
 "C. When the railway company at the time of transportation has an in terest direct or indirect, in a legal sense in the commodity which last pro- hibition does not apply to commodities manufactured, mined or produced, owned, etc, by corporation because a railway company is a stockholder in such corporation. Such ownership or stock in a producing company by a rail- way company does not cause 1t as the owner of the stock to have legal in- terest in the commodity manufactured, etc., by the producing corporation.
 "D. As thus construed, the commo- dities clause is a regulation of com merce within the power of Congress to enact. The contentious elaborately ar gued for the railroad companies, that the clause, if applied to pre-existing rights, will operate to take property of railroad companies and therefore violate the due process clause of the fifth Amendment were based on the assuhption that the clause prohibited and festricted in accordance with the

INVESTIGATION OF
 ODELL COMPANY
Loose Manner of Handling
 Business Is Exposed
RICH CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Accounts Were Transferred From One Name To Another But All Re- ferring To the Same Per
 son Or Firm.

Cincinnati, May 3.-The result of an investigation of the oden Brokerage company's books made after the con cern was thrown into the hands of receiver, was admitted as evidence in the trial in the United States district court here today of Louis w Foster and five others charged with running an alleged bucket shop"
 The examination of the books of the company was made by R. c. McCon- aughy, who was engaged by the gov ernment to make a transcript of the contents of the books. McConaughy testified that John Adams" was the term used by the Odell men to desig- nate the Merchants National bank and that Tom Desk" "J. H. and John Hamilton" were also designations for the same bank. He told of transferring funds back and forth and of large sums credited once to members of the firm and later to profit and loss.
 There were some generous Christmas gifts, according to his testimony, thousands being scattered among the employees. For instance, the Christmas gifts to telegraph operators were any where from $SO0O to couple of hun dred dollars.
 McConaughy said his examination showed the Odell Brokerage company organized October 24, 1907, started in business with Tive" assets of S682 125, while it's liabilities were nearly sSO0,- 900 greater. He testified that despite the fact that the company parted with liabilities exceeding it's assets it was able to pay substantial dividend to directors and employees two months after its organization.
 The dividend to directors amounted to $35,000 and was distributed in $7000 blocks to Louis W. Foster, Edward Hell, Walter Campbell, John M. Scott and Arthur c. Baldwin, five of the de- fendants in the trial. The bulk of the dividend to employees. amounting to GOO, went to John M. German, an- other of the defendants.
 The books also showed that more than $400,0O0 uncollectable accounts were carried.
