UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
RULES ON NORTH DAKOTA
COAL RATES.
RUSSELL SAGE LOSES
ANCIENT LAND SUIT
Supreme Court. Holds in Favor Of
Homesteader in Minnesota Against
Claims Of Railroads to Lands-RuI-
ing Of Supreme Judge Lurton While
On Circuit Bench is Sustained.

Washington, March 14-The North
held constitutional by the supreme
court of the United States despite the
claim of the railroad that the law re-
quires the transportation Of coal below
the cost Of the service.
Since 1907 there has been a law in
North Dakota to fix rates on coal with
in the state The Northern Pacific and
Great Northern failing to put the rates
into effect, the state brought suit in
the supreme court of North Dakota
to prevent the charging of higher rates
vided by the law of 1907. The rail-
roads replied that the law was uncon-
stituttonal in that it sought to take
the property of the railroads without
due process of law and that it was in
reference with interstate commerce.
The supreme court of the state held
the law constitutional and ordered the
issuance of a restraining order.
Railroads Lose Land Suit.
The supreme court of the United
States today announced decision in
the long controversy over certain land
in Minnesota in favor Of Peter F'roy-
seth and against the trustees of the
Hastings & Dakota Railway Com
pany.
The scarcity of unailotted land in
Minnesota was the foundation Of this
suit. Ejectment was brought by Rus
sell Sage, as assignee Of the Hastings
& Dakota railway, against Froyseth,
who likewise claimed ownership OF a
quarter section Of land in Chippewa
county, Minnesota. Sage was scheduled
as trustee by Edward Cosburn and j.
j. Slocum The land which Froyseth
occupies was claimed by the road, by
reason Of selection IN 1883. and reese
lection In 1891. F'royseth claimed no
rights were acquired by the railroad
under the selection of 1888, and the
lands. having been restored to the pub
lie domain of the secretary Of the In
terror in 1891, he contended his rights
as a homesteader attached at that
time, notwithstanding they immediate
given by the Minnesota courts favor
able to Froyseth. This was affirmed to-
day by the supreme court.
Lurton Ruling Sustained.
The supreme court of the United
States today declined to vacate the
writ of error issued by Justice Lurton
in the case of Charles r. Heike, of
New York, who was denied immunity
by the lower courts from prosecution

court of California, which held that

~
of Strife in New York.
New York, March 14.-After a day Of
conference and compromise the situa-
ton in the republican party of New
York State is still in the clouds. Hos
tilities have been postponed. Both the
partisans of Senator Root, Governor
Hughes and Senator Hinman on the
one hand. and of Timothy L. Woodruff.
chairman Of the state committee, on
the other, preserve truculent and
glum mien. There is no desire to dupli-
cate. in the republican party, the situ-
alton over the state Craftsmanship that
lately afflicted the democratic party.
1t is not wished, In endeavoring to
eliminate Mr.. Woodruff. to make him
a Corners, and Mr. Root In attempt
ing 4, does not wish to be a Murphy.
Yet on the fate of Woodruff large
measure of the fate of the republican
party in the elections next fall is felt
to hang.
Senator Root, Lloyd C. Criscom,
president Of the county committee. and
the new school of republican leaders
at large, believe that Woodruff and his
allies are directly responsible for the
election of Aids as president pro ITEM
of the state senate in the first instance,
and, when that proved a mistake, Of
Senator Cobb to succeed him, which
they feel to be not only personal af-
front to Senator Root, but a second
mistake OF only less weight.
Therefore there is strong disposi-
tion to demand that Woodruff retire.
and it is understood that it Is with the
express intention of demanding his
resignation that Senator Root came TO
New York last night.
Senator Root would not. say directly
today that such was his purpose, but
he virtually admitted 1t.
