DIRECT PRIMARY
DECLARED VALID
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
CARSON, New, March 5.-The
direct primary law of the state of
Nevada is valid, according to Judge
Langan of the district court today.
The law was declared constitu-
tional by the court in sustaining the
attorney generals demurrer to a
petition to declare the act not con-
stitutional.
In handing down his decision,
Judge Langan said:
"All acts of the legislature are
the supreme will Of the people and
are valid and constitutional until
declared invalid and unconstitu-
tional by the court; the presump-
ton Of law Is always in favor of the
act until it Is declared unconstitu-
tiOnal."

A. j. MACKEY, HERO
(By United Press Leased Wire)
WELLINGTON, March 5.-A. j.


WELLINGTON, March 5.-A. j.
Mackey-hero.
There are many heroes here, but
none should be written in larger
letters than Mackey. The man who
carried the message to Garcia has
been immortaIized. Mackey also
carried a message to Garcia. 1t
was he who carried the first word
of the disaster to the outer world.
When the handful of survivors
picked themselves out of the avail
anche, wondering how they came
to be alive, "what to dor" was the
first thought. The wires were
down and the trail down the noun
tains was impossible. With a hun
dred dead and dying, Wellington
was cut off from the world, which
was going along in the even tenor
of its way in ignorance of the hor-
ror.
I'll walk to Scenic with the
news said Mackey.
There were no heroics-a brave
man simply and naturally offered
his own life as the price of assist
ance, for the tramp down the noun
tain that dark night with snow and
trees still tumbling down from the
peaks, seemed like suicide. Mackey
did not hesitate.
He was a travelling railroad en-
gineer and his fellow workers and
the company's passengers were
dead and dying.
The trail was obliterated and
piled high with snow. The night
was dark and he stumbled and slid
sometimes sinking in snow up tc
his armpits. How he ever reached
Scenic is almost impossible to real
ize to one who has struggled oveI
the trail in broad daylight.
But he did get there, stumbling
half dead into the station.
Superintendent O'Neil was there
working with snowplows thai
night. If he had been on his car al
Wellington he, too, would have
been dead.
Mackey collapsed, but ONeil
though he had worked and fought
with the snow for 20 hours, strug
gled on down the mountain to Nip
ron, where the wire ended, and the
news was flashed to Everett.

WHY TRAINS
COULDN'T GET
BACK TO TUNNEL

WELLINGTON, WASH, Mar.
6.-Why didn't they run the
trains back into the Cascade
tunnel, 10 the first question
every person who reaches here
asks. It's the question every
body In Seattle and Everett Is
asking. The trains stood near
the tunnel and the natural pro-
lection Of ito interior from ava
lanches suggests itself to every
one who has ever been over the
Great Northern.
The reason was that there
was seven feet Of snow between
the trains and the tunnel. The
rotaries were fighting to clear
the track ahead and were con-
etantiy forced back by new
slides. All this time the snow
at the mouth Of the tunnel kept
Increasing until II was lmpossi-
biz 70 get the trains back in

Cedar Rapids, March S.-The state
board of education finally adjourned at
midnight. The board adopted the sug-
gestion of DR.. Pritchett, president Of
the Carnegie foundation, that after the
present all sub+freshman classes at
Anies be abolished. Students will be
admitted fro mthe high schools. The
curriculum of the law school at Iowa
City will be changed, and the board de-
cided to put the university law school
on the same plan as at Ann Arbor and
other high grade schools.
The action in regard to sub-freshman
classes at Ames was necessary, as ex-
planned by DR.. Pritchett, to bring the
state college under the scope of the
provisions of the Carnegie foundation.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1910-03-03

feature Of >the bill under consideration
is found in the departure from tne
existing method of defending suits
brought by common carriers to SCI
aside. annul, enjoin, or suspend the
orders and requirements of the com
mission. As the law now is, all such
are brought against the Interstate
Commerce Commission and are defend
ed by the commission, and the almost
universal practice of the commission is
to secure the assistance Of the attorney
who conducted the case before the
commission in behalf Of the complain
ant or complainants. In this way the
common carrier is met In the courts
(1) by the commission having full
knowledge Of the case and with an in
terest to defend 1t; (2) by attorneys
who are as familiar with the facts as
are the carriers themselves. The re-
suit is real lawsuit, the commission
being moved by the natural desire to
maintain its order and the shipper be-
ing moved by the determination to Sc
cure the redress of a wrong.
"The bill reported by the majority OF
the committee proposes that all suits
attacking orders or requirements of the
commission shall be brought against
the United States, and the commission
and all other parties interested in the
outcome are by express provision pro-
hibited from taking any part in the
proceedings before the court Of COM
merce. The defense is placed wholly In
the hands Of the attorney-general and
his assist attorneys-general; and 1t Is
fair to assume that his discretion to
employ counsel will not be often exer-
cised in the employment of attorneys
who conducted the proceedings before
the commission, altho their ability to
conduct such cases is evidenced by
their success in securing the order
sought to be set aside. It is our deiib-
crate judgment that this transfer of re-
sponsibility and power will destroy in
large measure the efficiency Of the IN
terstate commerce law; and we look
upon it as the most serious blow that
could be dealt to those who must from
time to time ask their government for
relief from the injustice inflicted by
railway companies and other common
carriers.
.tsection Z Of the bill repeals the anti
trust law with respect to agreements
between common carriers specifying
the classif1cations of freight and the
rates fares, charges for transportation
Of passengers and freight, and ex-
pressly legalizes them. The only power
reserved to the commission upon the
subject is that it may change the rates,
fares, charges, or classifications after
hearing, exactly as it may change any
rates, fares, charges or classifications
put into effect by individual carriers.
1t is obvious that this provision will
destroy the last vestige of competition
between carriers as to rates. 1t is only
necessary to observe all the railways
of the country In a single meeting con-
sulting about rates and with the power
to agree upon them to understand that
his amendment to the law would result
In the surrender of all independence on
the part Of the railways which can af-
ford to put in low rates The inevitable
consequence must be an increase in
rates.
other sections Of the bill are objected
to and amendments suggested.

IGNORING DR.. STORMS
Much Surprise in Fact That State
Board ignored President Of Amos
College.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. March 3.-Much sur
prise was expressed here over the fact.
as apparently made known by Presi-
dent Storms, that he has been ignored
by the present board of education in all
important matters relating to college
policy or management.
THE policy of the old board said
one of It's former members yesterday,
was always to have the president of
the state college present at every meet
ing, to consult with him freely on ev-
cry important question. to take him
fully into our confidence and to sustain
relations with him of the utmost
franliness and freedom. We would not
have thought of taking up any import
ant matter relating to the policies or
the faculty or the course of study or
the departments without having the
president Of the institution present.
we always found Dr. storms man OF
good Judgment. clear headed and diplo-
matte, and ready TO take UP with
every good suggestion we might make.
The announcement OF the actual
resignation of DR.. Storms. which had
been foreshadowed before, will bring to
n head the contest for the headship
of the institution.
There Is now no doubt that the
friends of Professor Curtiss and those
of Professor Holden win become ac-
tive. II is regarded as improbable that
