Union.
Judge Mcpherson held that both the
commodity and passenger laws were
confiscatory and unconstitutional
The state. on the other hand, de-
clared emphatically that Missouri's
fight for lower rates would continue.
"The question" said Judge McPher-
son in his decision, SIS whether the
traffic wholly within the state OF Mis-
souri, generally referred to in the evil
dence as local traffic can be carried
under the freight rate statute of 1907
and the passenger fare statute OF 1907
at such profit as will give reasonable
return after paying expenses upon the
investment, or whether such traffic is
carried at loss or less than such rea-
sonable profit. The court has reached
the conclusion that upon this question
the statutory rates fixed by either and
both statutes are not remunerative."
After the decision had been handed
down the views of the attorneys of
both sides was sought as to what i'm

CHARGE OF IMPROPER USE OF
MAILS THROWN OUT
OF COURT.
FOOL AND HIS MONEY"
JUDGE LEWIS IN FEDERAL COURT
AT DENVER ExPoUN0s
THE LAW.

Denver.-The federal statute under
which all cases of using the. mails to
defraud are prosecuted received a set.
back by a ruling made by Federal
Judge Robert E. Lewis yesterday who
threw the case against Jay F. Manning.
wellknown mining man. out Ut
court, says the Denver Republican of
the 3rd inst.
Manning, together with John J. Ho-
ban of Idaho Springs, was charged
with using the mails to defrand by
sending alleged lurid literature promot-
ing several properties in the vicinity
of Idaho Springs.
Judge Lewis asked United States
District Attorney Ward to show the
value of the property in question and
Max Boehmer. well-known mining
expert. who had Investigated the al
legged mine at the instance of the dis
trict attorneys office, was put on the
stand. He declared the property to be
practically worthless as mine and
that the only indication of mineral he
found was a three-inch streak whose
the deeper the vein went the poorer 1t
became. He said that 1t was mot
even good prospect hole.'
well, as to the literature of these
mining companies, it is another case
of the fool and his money soon parted.
The government cannot be the protec-
tor of every person in the country who
b,,x, ,,X1 of rh
poets to draw dividends at once, and be
part owner of a rich, producing mine,"
said Judge Lewis. The court refused
to hear any more witnesses or testi-
mony in regard to the case and or
dered 1t thrown out of court.
AS result of the ruling, United
States District Attorney Ward declares
that he will not bring any more prose-
cutions under statute $3.50, the one un-
der which all attempts to use the mail
to defraud are brought, in the terri
tory under jurisdiction of Judge Lewis.
The United States attorney general
was notified of Judge Lewis ruling, as
also were the postal authorities. 1t is
probable that all efforts to get evidence
against wildcat mining companies and
other schemes to defraud by use of
the mails will be dropped unless Or
ders to the contrary are received from
Washington.
Manning and Hoban were tried last
year in the federal court on the charge
of conspiring to defraud. The prosecu.
tion failed to show conspiracy and the
defendants were declared not guilty by
a jury. The court at that time stated
that there might be evidence of fraud,
but the prosecution had failed to prove
a conspiracy. The United States dis.
trict attorney then began preparing the
case based on fraud.
