quired and Justified Federal superyi-
sion and control of the subject.
Specific Power Rights
The attorney general admitted that
the Federal government could not
confer on state corporation power
to borrow money and issue obligations
therefor, nor to create and issue
shares Of stock Only the power
which created the corporation could
vest it with authority for those pur'
poses.
But" he contended, under all the
rules and analogies, to which refer
ence has been made, congress assur-
edly may regulate and restrain the
state corporate powers, and may pro-
hibit it from issuing obligations or
stock for any purpose relating to In.
terstate or foreign commerce except
in accordance with rules and restric-
tions prescribed by it for the purpose
of preventing the evils above referr-
ed to.
End is Legitimate.
In that respect the National gov
erment having adopted the state cor
poration as an agency OF interstate
commerce, may subject it to the same
regulations with respect to the means
Of raising money for the purpose OF
carrying on such commerce as 1t
could impose upon corporation OF
its own creation. The end is legiti-
mate, viz, the regulation of interstate
commerce; it is within the scope OF
the constitution.
THE means suggested are approp.
riate to correct an evil which has had
In the past very real effect upon
the ability Of these instrumentalities
to carry on commerce among the
states in conformity with rules and
regulations constitutionally establish
ed by congress and the means are
plainly adapted to that end. On reas
on and on authority, therefore, such
Legislation is within the scope Of the
constitutional power of congress.
How They Become Subjects.
III was contended that a state cor
poration availing of the powers con
'ferred by congress become thereby
subject to these respects in which
congress had legislated, to all the
conditions and limitations imposed
by congress on the exercise OF those
powers, as completely as though they
were written into the charter OF such
corporation.
Stock and Rate Relations.
Again, the amount OF stock which
a carried corporation might issue ant
the extent of the obligations which i
might incur, had direct effect upor
the determination of the reasonable
ness OF rates of interstate transpor
tation.
Gives Final Opinion
The enactment OF law regulating
the issue of stocks and bonds by rail
read companies, Mr.. Wickersham in
sisted certainly went no further thar
the acts regulating the hours of labo
of employees, the relations betweel
the railroad companies and their EN-
ployes or of the act of congress pro
hibiting railroad company carrying
from one state to another. pusuant t
power vested in it by the state of it
creation, a commodity which it bal
produced and owned.

RICHEST CHURCH IN WORLD
Treasure of the BRsiIica of St. Peter
I'm Rome Has Deen Gathered
for Centuries.

The dean Of the chapter Of st. Peter has
recently reorganized and arranged for show
the so-called treasure Of the basilica, which
consists of all the church Vestments uten-
sils and objects of adornment that belong
to the basilica OF st. Peter This collection
is valuable, as each object has its own hiS-
tory dating back many centuries and In
course of time 1t has suffered many vicissl-
tudes. The treasure practically dates from
apostolic times, since a church was built
on the site of the Vatican soon after the
martyrdom of St. Peter, and the early
Christians who worshiped in it adorned it
with votlve offerings and enriched 1t by
valuable gifts. Noae of these ancient
objects, has, however survived to the
present day, as very probably they were
destroyed and scattered during the perse-
cutions of the Christians.
During the fifth and sixth centuries the
popes again formed the treasure Of the
church, which the gifts OF the barbarian
kings and chiefs increased but in the year
SAG the saracens despoiled the church and
its treasure and only few objects were
saved, among them being a golden cross
given by the emperor, Justin II. Pope
Leo ~ again formed the treasure, witch
soon became celebrated as the most va b.
able collection in the world, since the rIll-
grims who floc0ed to Rome to venerate
the tomb of the apostle not only brought
gifts and votive offerings with them but
actually left their richest Jewels and clothes
in the chupch Besides every cardinal
and all the persons Of prominence who
visited Rome made rich donations and
each pope presented vestments, jewels and
gold and silver chalices. Still during
troubled times the treasure was pillaged,
especially during the sack of time in 1877
and as late as 1885, when Napoleon ex-
acted a heavy contribution from Plus VII.
after the peace Of Tolentino.
One would think that little has been left
of this valuable collection, which truly de-
served the name OF treasure, but so great
was it's value and so considerable the num-
ber Of objects It contained that even today,
despite it's repeated spoilations. II is the
richest church treasure in tho world. The
collection includes dalmatic presented to
tho church by Charles the Great, which iB
richly embroidered ana studded with
precious stones; two candelabra OF gilt
bronze by Pollaiuolo six massive silver
condlesticks, the work Of Benvenuto Cell
lini; the valuable gold cross OF Justin H.,
silver statues Of the apostles. gold challoes
and pyxes, innumerable church vestments,
and, besides, many other minor objects,
twelve stars Of brilliants worth several
million francs. which were given by Cath
oles throughout the world on the occasion
OF the Jubilee OF the Immaculate Concep-
ton. The treasure OF ST. Peter belongs 70
the chapter and not to the Dope.-RomS
Letter in Chicago News.
