the purpose of these suits to enforce,
1t is held that it is not necessary in re-
versing this decision, to direct the
character of the DEGREES which shall
be entered, but simply to reverse and
remand the case with directions to en-
force and apply the statute as it is
now construed.

common carrier by rail, in the trans
portation Of coal in the channels OF
Interstate commerce it is a railroad
company within the purview of the
commodities clause and is subject to
the provisions of that clause as they
are now construed"
History of the Case.
The announcement as to the conlmo-
dities clause was made in deciding the
L: Injunction and mandamus cases
brought by the government against the
Delaware & Hudson. the Erie, the New
Jersey Central, the Delaware & Lacka-
wanna the Pennsylvania and the Le-
high Valley railroads. The cases came
to the court from the United states
circuit court for the eastern district OF
PENNSYLVANIA whose decision as an
nounced by Judge George Gray In 1908
attracted much attention. They origlna-
ted in the circuit court and in its pc
t:tion the government charged that the
railroad companies in question were
commerce anthracite coal mined by
themselves on their own mines which
are located in Pennsylvania. The Hep
burn act makes it unlawful for any
railroad company to transport from
any state to any other state or to any
foreign country, any article or commo-
dity other than timber manufactured. OF
produced by it, or under its authority
or which it may own in whole or IN
part or in which it may have any In
terest, direct or Indirect, except sucr
articles or commodities as may be nee
essary and intended for it's use in the
conduct of it's business as common
carrier"
The circuit court decided against the
constitutionality of the provision pc
corporations of their property without
due process of law. which is prohibited
nv the fifth amendment to the conStltu-
ton. 1t was also held by that court thai
the clause, mot directly but indirectly
works a practical confiscation of the
nroperty OF the railway; hence the law
was held to be invalid and "in its ma
tire and effect a discriminative prohi-
bition.

argues, congress was 1egislating sole
ly with respect to the relation of inter-
state railroads. and their employees
while engaged in interstate commerce.
Object to the Act
1T is the object of the act to protect
an employe engaged in interstate COM
merce from injury as the result of
any negligence of the interstate carrier
or of any of it's instruments. While a
a servant of an interstate road is about
his masters business and engaged in
Interstate commerce. he is entitled TO
and is within the protection of the con-
gressionaI power.
THE interstate business of railroads
is so intermingled with their state
business that no segregation can be
recognized in regulating the relation
between Interstate carriers and their
interstate servants
The brief concludes as follows: This
is a wise, progressive and humane
statute. 1t seeks, within approved and
conservative lines. to accomplish an
object whose worth and Justice all men
have long admitted that many other
civilized nations have long ago at
tained. Legislation that is to protect
the railway employees does not benefit a
class alone. The safety of an interstate
carriers servants means the safety OF
interstate commerce itself.
with respect to this act not only its
beneficent purposes but the care with
which it was framed to meet every
constitutional objection now urged
against it should makes its validity as
sured.
I'VE respectfully submit that the act
here challenged is an appropriate ex-
ercise of the power of congress to reg
ulate commerce between the states
and ought to be upheld"

THAT HAMS STARE

| According to present plans the de-
tense will call Mrs. Virginia Hams,
mother Of the defendant. as its last
| witness. She is expected to tell OF the
eccentricities of Captain Hams as a
child.
District Attorney Dewitt began his
cross examination of Major Hams by
| asking him when his brother had
stopped wearing glasses.
'I don't know that he stopped wear
| ing them," the major replied.
1t is contended by the prosecution
that Captain Hams has stopped wear
| ing glasses since the shooting and be-
| cause Of his near sightedness this
would account in a manner for the
which has been referred to repeatedly
| by the witnesses for the defense.
Major Hams was excused and Emma
| Lavelle, a colored domestic, employed
| in Captain Hams home during 1907 and
1908. was called by the defense. She

The witness testified that Annis made
frequent visits to the captains home
while the captain was in the Philip
| pines. She said: THE way they car
| ried on was something dreadful. They
| would stay up all night and act ridicul-
| ous''
The witness told of a quarrel between
Mrs. Hams and Annis during which
| Mrs. Hains said ito - with your wife
Am not more to you than she fs?'' To
which Annis replied, Yes. in a. way"
| The witness said when she was re-
| lating these things to Captain Hams
the muscles of his face were drawn and
he glared and said: MY God. what
am / coming to. This is enough to
drive a man mad. / can't stand it.
! Hams took ito the mountains" dur
ing her husbands absence in the Phil
ippines, the witness said: IF one oi
her children had died. we would not
have known where to find the mother" "
On cross examination the witness
said: Although the captain frothed at
the mouth and cried" when she was
telling him and Thornton about Annis
and Mrs. Hams, she did not stop talk

She said the captain kept asking her
