Creates Real Sensation.
AdOlph O. EbeThart the tall srqb,
young man who became chief executive
of Minnesota when John A. johnson died
created the first real sensation Of the
governors conference late in the after
noon. when he offered a resolution. calling
on Congress to enact certain legislation.
The resolution is aimed 10 prevent Fed
eral courts from taking cognizance Of
cases against common carriers when the
statutes provide a method by which the
orders Of a State commission can be re-
viewed in the State courts and when the
latter have authority to stay the opera
ton Of the order pending such proceedings
in review.
The statutes Of the United States.
