CATHOLICS ENDORSE PLAN.
Catholic Missionary Union Will Send
Out Chapel Car Soon.

WASHINGTON. June 1O.-The en-
dorsement of the chapel car and the
procuring of missionary tents for
work among the Indians represented
the principal action of the eighth an
nual conference of the Catholic Mis-
sionary union of America today. The
chapel car especially appealed to the
delegates and a paper ON the subject
by Rev. John Handley, a Paulist, met
with instant favor and approval.
ut was nothing short of a brilliant
inspiration" he said, ito set the rail-
road to work as an advertisement for
the missions of nom catholics. The
church on wheels was especially eff
fective in the smaller towns along the
railroad, where the entire populace
turned out to see it,

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Of the
9Os cases docketed with the supreme
court of the United States during the
session which CLOSED last week, 578
still remain Enacted upon. From the
opening of the term, early in October,
to the last decision day, 430 cases were
decided by the, court, number of
them, having been left over from last
year. Not since the passage of the act
of March 8, 1901, creating circuit
courts of appeal for the particular pur-
pose of diminishing the work of the
country's highest tribunal, have there
been SO many cases brought to the
courts for decision or review

court. Some of these will go down in

lower tribunals decision, that the

the obvious intent with which it was
enacted by congress.
Litigation in which railroads were
concerned bulked large in the docket
for the past term, and for most of
these the railway rate act was largely

GIGANTIC CELEBRATION WILL
MARK OPENING OF QUEENS
BCRO STRUCTURE.
Twenty Thousand Dollars Has Been
Appropriated to Defray Expenses
of the Celebration.

NEW YORK, June IA celebration
on a truly gigantic scale will mark the
opening tomorrow of the greensboro
bridge and will continue through all
of next week. There will be pageants,
parades and talkfests galore, and the
festivities will conclude with a relay
race across Long Island in which $50
boys will participate.
Although there is every indication
today that the celebration will be one
Of the greatest of it's kind in New
Yorl,'s history, some of the glamor has
been taken off the spectacular display
by the charges openly made that GER
tain members of the board of aldermen
will add largely to their bank rolls
through their connection with the
company in charge of the affair.
Twenty thousand dollars was ap-
propriated by the board to help defray
the expenses Of the celebration, and il
is asserted by influential newspapers
that no inconsiderable part of this
fund will find it's way to the pool of
aldermen.

SUPREME COURT

court affirmed the conviction and as
sented to the fine imposed-$126,000 on
the railroad and $4,000 on it's traffic
manager. The Chicago & Alton rebate
cases were likewise disposed of-the
highest court holding that the rail-
road was violating the law in grant
ing rebates on certain shipments from
Kansas City to the Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger Packing company and the
verdict of the lower court imposing
fines aggregating $4,000 on the road
and it's officials was affirmed.
In decision important in its future
bearing, the court also held the provi-
sion of the Railway Rate act which
prohibits express companies from is
suing Franks to their employees con-
stitutional and valid There is still be-
fore the court the cases involving the
right of railway companies to issue
transportation to newspapers and
magazines in exchange for advertising
space.
Edward H. Hartman the railroad
king, figured personally in one unique
case, in which the supreme court re-
fused to acknowledge the power of the
interstate commerce commission to
force him to answer certain questions
relating to his control and manage
ment of various railroads.
The power of the states to regulate
railroad rates within their boundaries
was affirmed by the court in it's de-
cision holding the McChord act Of the
Kentucky legislature constitutional.
However, a directly opposite view was
taken of the two-cent rate provisions
made by the Virginia state corporation
commission. In this case the court
held that the proceedings did not con-
stitute due process of law.
A decision of measurable import
ance was that rendered in the Consol-
idated Gas cases, wherein it was held
that a municipality or state has power
to regulate the rates charged by pub
lie service corporation. In this case
millions were involved, and reduc-
ton in the price of gas was furnished
to consumers in New York city.
The highest court evidently has a
clear understanding of the various an
THRUST laws of the states and an un-
derstanding that led, during the past
term to more than one decision against
corporations with monopolistic pro-
clivities First and foremost of these
was the courts affirmation of the con-
stitutionality of the Texas antitrust !
laws in the famous Waters Pierce Oil

bunal. Likewise, the court affirmed the
decision against the Hammond Pack
ing company which was convicted un-
der the Arkansas trust busting" act.
In the host of criminal appeals dis
posed of, the court acted adversely
for the appellants in two of general
interest-that of Albert T. Patrick,
now in Sing Sing, serving a life sem
tence for the murder of William NJ
Rice, and of Herman Billik, at the time
of the decision under sentence of

During the last few days of the term
the court set a new precedent in the.
conviction of Sheriff Ship and five
others of Chattanooga, Tenn, for con-
tempt of court in conspiring to lynch
Ed Johnson, negro rapist, after the
issuance of a stay in his case by the
supreme court. A re-hearing was
granted the men last week, and the
case will be finally disposed of early
in the next term.
The cases which will go over un-
til next term for decision include a
large number of more than passing
importance, score or more of which
have already been argued before the
court. Among these latter ar half
dozen or more involving the constitu-
tionality of charter free" taxes by

The next term of the court will be-
gin on October A. With the large
number of cases on the docket for this

acted upon, the 1909 term promises to
be the busiest in the history of the
court since 1901, when the dimunition
act was passed.

WIFE IN MANS CLOTHES.
John Paul, Nebraska Banker, Says IT,
Not Right.

John S. Paul, Florence (Neb.) banker
and capitalist, can not stand for men 8
clothing; that is, when they are worn
by his wife.
Because of this failing which he al
leges his wife has he has filed suit
for divorce. Mr.. Paul says that his
wife's fondness for male attire has
wrecked his home and destroyed his
peace of mind. She is youthful and
has no complaints to make on her en-
dowments.
Moreover the wife, SO Paul says, has
many little habits that make him ner-
vous. Some of these, he says, are more
than frequent. She SHES bricks at
him, calls him ''Jackass Bill" and a
4" dead one" Any of the things
enumerated, Mr.. Paul says, are enough
to make respectable banker ask fol
freedom from his marital bonds.
