RAILROAD COMMISSION FINDS
ITS POWERS AUGMENTED

Indianapolis, Ind, March 23.-That
the railroad commission of Indiana will
have powers exceeding those of any
commission in the country when the
acts of the recent legislature are pub

A new era in the work of the COM

The laws of 1901 in the act concern

The act requiring the inspection OF
locomotive boilers was not champion
ed by the railroad commission, but.
with the approval of the governor, the
commission has the appointment of the
inspector provided for in the act. The
position will pay $4,000 annually. The
act will require the inspection of all
locomotives engaged in moving inter-
state traffic. The locomotives engaged
in the movement of interstate traffic
are inspected under the provisions of
the federal statute. 1t is not believed
that the new law will apply to the

GARY BOYS

In a fast and exciting basketball
game at the Emerson school Saturday
evening the Gary night school boys
defeated Hebron by a score of ga to O.
The team work of the Gary boys
proved too much for the boys from He
bron. the latter having very little of
the ball The first half was about even
but in the second half the Gary team
had the ball at all times. During the
game one of the Hebron boys was hurt
twice. Time was called and it was
not long before he was on the field

Next Saturday the Gary team frav-
els TO Whiting and the following Sat
urday to Hebron for a return game,

During Course of Supreme
Court Argument.

During the closing arguments today be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States on the validity of certain counts
in the cotton corner Indictment against
James A. Patton. Eugene G. Scales,
Frank B. Hayne and William p Brown,
the government was forced to make an
admission Of weakness in one of the inn

Former Senator John c. Spooner was
attacking the count which charged con-
spiracy seyerally to buy cotton, but which
the court below held to be bad because
it charged nothing in regard to holding
or selling the cotton.

that they would severally buy to give
them power Of control over a market was
within the Sherman antitrust law.
But, Mr.. Solicitor General" began

senting James A. Patton, then addressed
