their oars. while the inspector fired two

RAILROADS WIN
IN HIGHEST COURT
Law Compelling Switches to Be
Built to Grain Elevators
Unconstitutional
Correspondence School Business
Held to Come Under Head of
Interstate Commerce

WASHINGTON, April 4-Emphasiz-
ing the rights of railroads, the su-
prene court of the United States to-
day declared unconstitutional the law
of Nebraska requiring railroads to
build switches to all grain elevators
along the tracks upon request and
called a halt on the attempt of the
state of Arkansas to penalize an in
terstate railroad for failure to supply
cars enough to accommodate interstate
traffic
In announcing the opinion in the
Nebraska case, Justice Holmes as
serted that although the state pos
sessed certain police powers, and rail-
roads must fulfil the purposes for
which their charters were granted,
yet railroads, like other owners of
property, have rights protected by the
constitution" He held that their prop
erty could not be taken without COM
pensation, as he said the law proposed
to do. in requiring the railroads to
build switches TO the elevators.
The questions as to whether the
penalty for violation of the % hour
law for the shipment of live stock
shall be assessed on the separate
shipment. as urged by the government,
or on the train load as a unit, as con-
tended for by the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern railroad, is to be con-
sidered again by the supreme court.
The business of correspondent
school with pupils in various states is
interstate commerce. Such was the
opinion of the federal supreme court,
announced today by Justice Harlan in
the case of the International text book
company of Scranton, Pa, against A.
I. Pigg Of Topeka, Kan.
In the same case the court declared
unconstitutional a Kansas law requir-
ing that corporations seeking to do
business in the state file a prescribed
certificate, or upon failure to do so
that the doors of the state courts be
closed to them
An opinion by the late Justice
Brewer was today made a part of the
supreme law of the land by the SUI
preme court. The late justice had pre-
pared the opinion of the court in the
controversy in Louisiana over the Nc
Emery land scrip and decided It in
favor of the holders of the scrip. In so
doing he affirmed the Judgment of
the supreme court of Louisiana in the
case of j. W. Frellzen & Co. against
A W. Crandall, register in the land
office.
The supreme court today decided the
case of the Southw estern oil company
VS.. the state of Texas in favor of the

from the sale of oil, naphtha, ETC.
The supreme court today affirmed the

RAILWAY OFFICIALS
MAINTAIN SECRECY
Presidents of Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe to Confer
in This City

Much secrecy is being maintained by
the Santa Fe officials who are in the
city as to the significance of the pro-
posed conference between them and the
Southern Pacific officials, who are to
arrive here in a few days. Although it
is not definitely stated, the matter of
the building of the extension of the
Northwestern Pacific is said to be the
main subject that will be discussed.
President Ripley spent nearly all of
yesterday afternoon inspecting the ter
minals and the new docks of the COM
pany in the China basin.
Il have not seen Judge Lovett for
more than four MONTHS he said yes
terday, and 1 have good many things
to talk about"
When questioned about the proposed
trip over the Northwestern Pacific for
the purpose of inspecting the work al
ready accomplished on the extension
of that road to Eureka, Ripley said
that he had been asked to make this
trip by Captain Payson, but that he
did not think he would have time
''Will the extension be completed ?''
was asked.
1T certainly will. 1t is well under
way now, and will be rushed during all
good weather. It is a difficult and ex-
pensive piece of railroad work, many
parts of it costing as much as $4,000
a mile"
rs that high?"
Yes, when you consider that one of
the best parts OF the Santa Fe system
cost only $4,000 mile, while the same
road could be built within a few hun
dred feet of us at a cost of about
$4,000 a mile"

"GRAND OLD MAN"
OF OREGON DIES
Judge George II. Williams, Last
Member of Grants Cabinet,
Passes Away
Famous Jurist Called by Death
in His Portland Home at
Age of 81

PORTLAND. Ore, April 4.-Judge
George II. Williams, the last surviving
member of President Grants cabinet, is
dead
Williams, who has been termed the
Grand Old Man" of Oregon. was the
most prominent man in the northwest.
When young lawyer In 1853 he
was sent by President Buchanan from
Iowa TO Oregon territory to preside at
its highest tribunal of justice the
territorial supreme court
From that date on Judge Williams
career is almost coincidental with the
territory to which he came and which
for more than half a century has been
his home.
Williams was born at New Lebanon,
Columbia county. n. Y March Is 1923
In 1874 he was admitted to the bar and
he went to Fort Madison. Ia Three
years later he was elected district
judge. In 1858 he was appointed chief
justice of Oregon territory. in which
capacity he served until 1859, when the
territory became a state.
When the constitutional convention
was held Judge Williams was made
chairman of the judiciary committee
and as such drafted the present consti-
tuition of the state.
In 1854 he was chosen by a repub-
lican legislatur to represent the state
in the United States senate In 1871 he
was made one of the joint high COM
mission which framed the treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. settling the Alabama claim and
also settling the boundary line between
this country and British Columbia
year later he was appointed by Presi-
dent Grant to be attorney general of
the United States. In 1874 he was
nominated chief justice of the United
States supreme court but his nomina-
tion failed of confirmation because of
bitter personal antagonism on the part
of the members of the senate and be-
cause the eastern senators did not be-
lieve 1t wise TO place at the head of
this country's highest tribunal court of
last resort man from far western
state
Judge Williams tenure of office as at
torney general expired in 1875, and for
more than quarter of a century he
practiced law in his home city.
In 1902 Judge Williams was elected
mayor of Portland, the term expiring
in 1905.
