Was First Favorable To The Roads But Is
 Reversed
ONLY ONE DISSENTING JUSncE
 JUDGE HARLAN
DECISION AYERS THAT CONCERNS DID NOT TRANSCEND ITS CONSTITUTIONAL
 AUTHORITY
By Asxncfated Press-

By Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, May 3.-It has been many a day since decision of the United States Supreme Court re- eeived as much interest as that man ifested today by the reversal of the eineuit courts commodities clause" decision, affecting the anthracite coal carrying railroads. The eases were de- eided in the circuit court favorably ts the railroads in that clause of the Hep burn rate law which prohibits inter state railroads from carrying eommod- ities manufactured, mined or produced, directly or indirectly, by railosds, which was declared unconstitutional.
 The general impression was that the decision would be affirmed by tAs Supreme Court. When, therefore, there was reversal instead of affirm stion, interest was much magnihed. When, again, it was found that the re- versal is based on technical grounds and that in effect it really was favor able to the railroads, sentiment took another turn.
 The dieisiOn was announced by Jus tiee White, who declined to give out more than a summary, showing the net result of the court s findings.
 Only one dissenting opinion was an nouneed Justice Harlan said he did not follow the conclusion in the point that the law did not prohibit railroad ownership of stock in commodity producing companies.
 nalyzed, the decision is that con gress did not transcend its eOnstitu- tional authority in enaeting the com mOdities provision, but held that the government $ construction of the pro vision was entirely too comprehensive.
 As construed by the court, the sole object of the clause IS to prevent ear riers from being associated in interest with commodities at the time of trans portation.
 The effect of the decision is favor able to the railroads. The government lost practically all points except sus- taining the principle involved.
 The decision does not eoneede the contentious of the government fully. The principal point of the decision was in relation to railroads holding stock in subordinate companies, and on that point the finding was favorable to the railroads.

ROOSEVELT Is HELD UP AS
 EXAMPLE By Sen. Borah Shaping The Republican
 DeStinies
CARNEGIE DID NOT MAKE THE
 REPUBLICAN PARTY
HOUSE WAS RE SESSION ONLY TWENTY MINUTES AND ADJOURNED TILL
 THURSDAY
By Associa!ted PrSs.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-An ex- tended defense of the duty of lumber, as provided in the Dingley bia, Sas made in the senate today by Piles of Washington. He was followed by Bor- ah, who discussed the income tax, not only declaring it was just, but in view of the divided opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States, insisting it was the duty of congress to again submit the question of it's constitutior ality to the court.
 During his speech on the income tax, Borah referred to former President Roosevelt as having shaped the des- tinies of the Republican party. He said that without his leadership his "party would have gone out of busi- ness"
 "Without the continued adherence to these principles" he added, "the party will go out of power. No man," he said, "is politically so short-sighted or politically so blind as that man who thinks that the steamer Hamburg carried away policies, principles, pub lie interest in and aroused public con science, searching public seorn, which this remarkable man bequeathed to his eountrymen." This statement was made in connection with the discus sion of ROosevelt's suggestion favor ing graduated inheritance and graduat- ed income tax. Borah also quoted Taft's speech. which spoke in favor of the income tax.
 Referring to Carnegie's statement that an income tax would encourage perjury, Borah said: "Carnegie did not make the Republican party, and I wish I were sure the Republican party did not make Carnegie"
 The house was in session only twen- ty minutes, and adjourned until Thurs day. No business of importance was transacted.
