PULLMAN COMPANY
WINS KANSAS CASE
United States Supreme Court De-
cldes That Bush Act Demand
ing Tax on Capitalization
Is Void

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Holding
that the attempt of the state of Kansas
to tax the Pullman company on it's
capitalization, as done under the pro-
visions of the so-called Bush act, was
unconstitutional, the supreme court of
the United States today reversed the
decision of the supreme court of Kan
sas and ordered the case remanded.
The court followed in the main the
reasons given in the case of the at
tempt of Kansas to oust the Western
Union company from doing a local
business.
This was an action to oust the Pull
man company from a corporate fran
chise for charging and collecting COM
pensation from passengers for the use
of seats and berths in its cars between
stations in Kansas.
Suit was brought because the COM
pany failed to pay a charter fee on its
capitalization. That had been made
condition by the charter board of the
state on which a franchise to do busi-
ness would be granted.
The fee was required under the Kan
sas law of 1905, by which foreign cor
porations seeking to do business in the
state must pay charter fee for the
benefit of the permanent school fund.
q Justice Harlan announced the de-
cision of the court. Justice Holmes an
nounced a dissenting opinion. Chief
Justice Fuller and Justice McKenna
also dissented

The Cameron airship is a distinct de-
parture from present machines. 1t will
measure 120 feet in length, 81 feet in
breadth and 40 feet in height, and will
be constructed of aluminium and steel
In eighty separate compartments 22,-
600 cubic feet of hydrogen gas will be
contained. The gas will be used partly
in lifting the machine off the ground
although the main lifting power is de-
rived from two seVen-blad propellers
Two 30-horsepower engines will drive
the propellers. The machine will bt

sengers will be carried.
The machine will be somewhat like
a boat in shape. If the airship hap

says he has provided special means OF
navigating for a short distance. The
compartment gas bag will sustain the
machine in air or water.
According to the inventor his ma
chine will rise into the air when the
engine starts No run will be neces-
sary in order to take to the air.

iNGLEWOOD CITIZEN
IS KILLED BY CAR
!. Palmer Ewing Meets Instant
Death While Driving Auto
Across Redondo Railway
Tracks

While crossing the electric line
track in Commercial street, Inglewood
in an automobile yesterday morning
j. Palmer Ewing, machinist and engi-
neer living near Inglewood, was struck
and killed instantly by an inbound Re-
dondo flyer of the Los Angeles and
Redondo Railway company.
The car crew stated that the morn
ing was foggy and they did not no
tice the approach of the automobile
at the crossing until it was too late
to avoid collision.
Witnesses of the accident said that
Ewing slowed up his automobile and
then started again to get across the
track. The force of the collision de-
rallied the car and the auto was
smashed to bits, Ewing being thrown
twenty-five feet. At the office of DR.
II. A. Putnam it was found that
Ewing's skull had been crushed al
the base of the brain, his jaw broken
and that he had numerous bruises and
decorations on his body.
The car was in charge of Conductor
c. T. Cooper and Motorman George
c. Wilson. They stated that the
whistle of the car was sounded but
Ewing did not correctly estimate the
distance of the car owing to the heavy
fog. Ewing was 2S years old and
lived with his brother-in-law, George
SAVERS, on ranch near Inglewood
The body was taken to the undertake
ing establishment of Bresee Brothers
where an inquest will be held this
morning.

SANTA IF SIGNAL
SYSTEM IMPROVED
WORK FROM EAST TO WEST
NEARLY COMPLETED
Time Honored "HighbaiI" Sign with
Lantern Doomed to Banish=
ment Under New Con-
ditions

Step by step the signal system of the
Santa Fe railroad is undergoing a,
complete renovation, which, begun in
the east, already has extended to the
Pacific coast. In places where double
track has been or will be installed an
entirely new system of signals Will be
used whereby the "highball' signal,
or the sign to proceed, given by a
man waving a lantern aloft, will be
done away with.
while this is not a new thing" said
Signal Supervisor P. B. Hyde yester-
day, "it will be an innovation in the
west How soon we shall find it prac-
ticable to install this system 1 cannot
say. AS this necessitates a double
track there will be nothing done along
this line until the increase in business
warrants expensive imprisonments."
At present the double track system,
with the lap sidings, is used only east
of the Mississippi river 1t is likely,
however, that double tracks soon will
be laid between Ash Fork and Wins
low, Ariz., a distance of $50 miles.
Where the lap sidings are used no
intricate signal systems are necessary.
A train may be switched to the siding
by the station agent and released by a
signal at the opposite end of the sid
ing. Although not extensively used.
experts as being one of the safest and
simplest ever invented.
A minor change in the local system
of signals will, however, be made as
fast as new signals are installed. In
stead of using the lower right-hand
quadrant signal, in which the arm
works from a horizontal to a vertical
position downward, the upper right
hand quadrant will be used. Should
the mechanism of the signal arm
break at any time the new system
would indicate the danger sign, Where
the old method would tell the engineer
to proceed. Outside of Southern Cali
fornia this also might be caused by
snow and ice accommodating on the
arm.
"Although this change is not neces-
sary in this state" declared HYDE IT
is no more expensive than the old
system, and will conform with the
systems throughout the east

NOT PRACTICAL ENOUGH.


Committee Will Struggle With Ques-
ton and Report Back TO Board.
The state board of education on
Tuesday took action looking toward
the ascertainment of the correct So
luton of charges that school children
are overworked, and consequently
have imperfect knowledge in many
subjects. The following resolutions
covering this mat&er were adopted =
"Criticism is general in almost every
community in the state by parents,
by practical and professional people,
and particularly by newspapers,
which undertake to voice the senti-
ments of the people, and by all per-
sons who have given the subject at
tention, that the scholars in our pub
lie schools are overburdened with
work, that their studies are too nu-
merous and too complex for them to
properly absorb, with the result of
an imperfect knowledge of many sub
jects.
There is a general complaint that
these studies are not sufficiently
practical to be of much avail, in the
ordinary fairs of life.
THE great majority of scholars I'M
1ertake the burdens of life at an
early age, about when graduated from
the grammar grades, and by reason
of the above conditions are sent forth
fmperfectly equipped.
While the discussion is rife and
action by the properly constituted
authorities is called for on every side,
it is desirable that the state board
of education should take leading
part in this matter.
"This problem Of ascertaining the
correct solution of the above difficult
ties, of securing method of certi-
fication of teachers whereby the best
equipped may be obtained and the
most practical and informing courses
of study be adopted, be referred to
the committee on education, to re-
port at their earliest convenience to
the board.''
The petition of the New Jersey
congress of mothers to have a course
of general domestic science estab-
lished III the schools was referred to
the committee on education.

REV. Dr.. BATTEN TO DES MOINES
Closes a Successful Passionate of seven
Years at Lincoln, Nebraska.

Closes Successful Passionate of seven
Years at lincoln, Nebraska.
DIR. Samuel Zane Batten, who fol
the last seven years has been pastor OF
the First Baptist church, of Lincoln,
Nebraska, going there from Morris
town, goes this week to Des Moines
where he becomes head of the Depart
ment of Biblical Literature and Social
Sciences, in Des Moines college. In
his new position he will have some
time available for social service work
in connection with the National Fed
GRAFTON of Churches. DR.. Batten has
received over 400 members into the
Baptist church while in Lincoln, the
present membership of the church be-
ing about 1850.
DR.. Batten has held pastorates at
Morristown, New York City, and
Philadelphia. During his pastorate
at Lincoln he has written numerous
articles for magazines and has pub
lished two books, the christian
State" and "a Working Christian
Program" He is a scholarly man of
unusual ability, who would doubtless
find the quietof his library more to
his liking than strife for social uplift.
But he has a unique habit Of living
each day up to his convictions as to
what is due from him in the cause Of
civic righteousness. This intensity of
conviction has forced him to posi-
tion of prominence before the city and
the state of Nebraska probably accord
ed to no other minister during the
past seven years.
He was president of the Anti-Saloon
League of Nebraska from 1904 to 1908,
and for two years edited the state or
gan Of the league. He was secretary
