According To Two J. S.
 Supreme Court Decisions NEBRASKA LAW INVAl|OATtO
Requiring Roads to Con struct Switches to Ele- vators.-CaSe in Which Arkansas Went Beyond Its Police Powers.

Washington. April .4-The supreme court of the United States today de- cIared unconstitutional the law of Ne braska rrIu.ring railroads to build switches tp all grain elevators along their tracks upon request. and called a halt on the attempt of the state Of Arkansas to penAlize an inter tate rail way for failure to supply cars enough fO accommodate interstate traffic.
 In announcing the opinion In the Ne braSka case Justice Holmes asserted that although the state possessed C-r- tain police powers and the railroads must ulnn the purposes for which charters were granted. vet railroads like other owners of property. have rights protected by the constitution"
 He held that their property could not be taken without compensation. as he said the law proposed to do in re- qniring the railroads to build switches tO the elevators.
 Justice White in announcing the opinion in the Arkansas case. spoke of the right Of the railroads to sail under the flag of the constitution, rather than the black flag" In using this language in the announcement of the opinion. Justice White was referring to the decision of the ArkansOs su- preme court. which discussed the fact that the St. Louis Southwestern rail- way was unable tO furnish more ears for local traffic because of the require ments of the American Railway assoCi- ation as to cars going out of the state of Arkansas. The Arkansas court. had said. Tt might be better for the sp- pellant tO suffer these ills than to sail under a black flag and refuse to send its ears beyond its line"
 Among other decisions the court up- held the act of Arkansas prOhibning the drumming up of business by physi- clans and hotel keepers m trains
 An odd thing about the sitting was the announcement as to the decision of the court of an opinion written by the late Justice Brewer.

.AlLO'S ACCUsER
 QUITS POLITICS
SENATOR coNGER FILLED WITH
 EMOTION.
Reads Statement to His Colleagues
 and Tenders Resignation.

Albany. April 4.-Rising to a ques- ton of personal privilege in the sen ate tonight Senator Benn x. COnger, after reading q statement in which he declared that he realized that as re- suit of the Aids bribery charges pro- nounced by him. his usefulness as a legislator was at an end and he handed in his resignation to Lieutenant Gov ernor White. q duplicate of which was put into the hands of the secretary of state.
 With ashen face and trembling hand he read while his fellow senators lis tened with intense interest and when he had finished and sent the resIgna- ton to the desk he quickly left the chamber.
 Conger read how at private confer ence where the qualifications of Aids for the position of the republican lead CT in the senate were being consider ed he was asked to declare his posi- ton. He replied that he wouldn't or couldn't vote for him" Conger then related how Aids on the floor of the senate denied the truth of Conger's statements. and demanded an investi- gatiOn.
 So" he added. the alternative was presented me of being branded a liar. thereby remaining d member of this body or speaking the truth and there by materially injuring myself, finan- cially politically. socially and bringing upon my family notoriety and sorrow did the only thing l could and re- tain my own self respect; that was to speak the truth at whatever cost.

SPANISH SPITE.
Why the Audience With the Pope Was
 Cancelled.

Rome, April Recommending on Mir. Roosevelts cancelled audience with the pope. the Giornale Dltalia. the organ of eX-Premier Sonningo. says the in- cident was the result of the antipathy of the Spanish papal secretary of state to the ex-colOnel of the Rough Riders, who became SO popular in the war against Spain, and demonstrates that Merry Del Vars influence will not augment the cordiality between the vatican and the United States.
 A republican paper the Ragione. says that what occurred shows the narrowness of mind of the papal sec retary of state. while Col. Roosevelt has admirably maintained decorOus dignity. .'rhe rudeness of vatican di- plomacy," says the paper, will aug ment the popularity of the American people"
 The whole vatican press takes as the basis of it's comment the statement last evening in the Osservatore Ho- mano, the official organ of the vati- can. which explained that the vatican could not risk a repetition of the Fair banks incident.
 Tt is notorious to all Romans and foreigners" continues the paper. that whatever the Methodist church here is, it is the center of all hostility against the spiritual power of the su- preme pontiff in his own seat, the center from which radiates all en- couragement, material and moral. and all support of the propaganda favoring apostacy and indictment in every way and by every means to open rebellion and war against the church.
 There was not therefore any of- fense against Col Roosevelts freedom of action or of conscience. as he could freely attend elsewhere to the duties of religion. What was asked was only that Col. Roosevelt sustain from plac- ing his authority, prestige and his name at the service of the very insti tuition which directs by calumny open rebellion and dislOyal war against the Catholic church in its own metropo- lie"

Proposition To Vote 0n Rail-
 road Bill On Sdturdaq TWO WEEKS AT THE LEAST
The Iowan Thinks Will be Required for Consid- ering the 100 Amend ments. The House Will Expedite Matters. \

Washington, April 4.-Declaring that no less than two weeks will be neces- sary tO consider the amendments al- ready offered to the railroad bill. Sena- tor Cummins today resisted the efforts of Senators Hale and Elkins n obtain an agreement to vote on the bill next Saturday The Iowa senator not only objected to the proposition, but he pro- nounced it joke.
 Senator Bacon made it evident that if no one else objected he wOuld do go. He cOntended that the managers of the bill were not justified in asking for an agreement for q vote until they were able to present q perfected bill.
 Mir. Elkins brought up the question 0f q vote after the close of q speech by Senator Crawford advocating the of the commerce court pro- vision of the bill
 ''I don't want to hurry the senators" said Mir Elkins. but we all want to get away from here by June I5. therefore urge the senators desiring to speak on the bill. or tO offer amend ments. tO prepare themselves to do so and give Us an opportunity to vote"
 MT. Cummins regarded MT. Elkins' request as not only amiable but jocu- lar. There were more than 100 amend ments to be considered. he said. and no less than a fortnight would be nee ,ssary for this alone. He suggested as a substitute that not less than three hours a day be devoted to the cOnsid- eration of the bill and to continue un- til it was disposed of.
 The senate then went into executive session.
 Action was taken today by the house to insure the prompt consideration of the railroad bill in that body. All the privileges were allowed to the measure that pertain tO the ap- propriation bills.
 The house passed a bill increasing from $2.0OO to $5,009 the amount of money that must be involved in a suit to entitle it's removal from d state to a federal court.
 Among the bills passed by the sen ate today was one permitting the Phil ippine government to increase it's in- debtednesS to a limit of $l0.000, 900 for the promotion of public improvements.
 Both houses will be in session tomOr- row.

 EXPRESSION On Papa| Purpose To Put Col. Roosevelt Under Bond SPIRIT Of INTOLERANCE.
More Marked Than in the Recent Case of Vice President Fairbanks, Says Bishop Cranston of the M. E. Church.

Cincinnati. April 4.-Bishops Gran ston and Wallien of the Methodist church commented today sharply on the vatican's position regarding Col Roosevelt'S visit.
 Bishop CranstOn said: The inci- dent serves to emphasize all | have said or written on the real signifi- canoe of the Fairbanks episode Mr. Roosevelt is not q Methodist, but his spirit of tolerance is not greater than that of Mir. Fairbanks, who iS d Meth odist
 Tn his administration as president, many of his friends thought Mir Roosevelt went beyond the limit of po- litical prudence in trusting and hon. bring Roman Catholics, but even he had to be put under bonds in Rome lt seems the vatican accepts nothing short of absolute submission. including the yielding up ot ones social privil- eges and his religious and patriotic fellOwships.
 The introduction of the Methodist church in Rome as q feature in this last episode s gratuitous. Much as they honor Mir Roosevelt. our people there had no desire or purpose to en- barrass him by any invitation inter- fering with lis wish to call on the pope. We were sure he would not in- suit us in return for such considera- ton by submitting to the dictatiOn of our traducers. and he has not disap- pointed us.
 'Americanism is worth more to the world than q papal assumption. and it is the spirit of Americans that is now again put under the ban by the pope"
 Bishop WaHien, said two monument al blunders had been committed by the present pope. He declared that Pope Leo was far too wise tO have been guilty of the errors of Plus.

DESERT LAND CLAIMS.
Proof May Be Made With One Eighth
 Under Cultivation.

Denver, April 4.-Word was received here today that Secretary Ballinger has issued a decision allowing settlers to prove up on desert clahns after showing that one-eighth or the acreage has been brought under cultivation.
 This ruling overturns decision by Commissioner Dennett of the general land office holding that settlers must have all the acreage on their claims under cultivation before proving. The decision involves a large number of settlers in the west.
