OK! AAHHflMA RATE ATFF Let
UPSET BY THE COURT
Two Cent Fare Law Held to Be
Confiscatory by Federal.
Tribunal.

st. Louis, March 30.-The 2-cent pas
senger rate in Oklahoma was declared
to be confiscatory and was held invalid
by a decision of the United States cir
cult court of appeals handed down here
today.
The unanimous opinion OF the court
restrains the members of the commits
sion Of Oklahoma and the attorney gen.
,eral OF that state from enforcing the
provisions of the Oklahoma constitution
reducing the maximum passenger fare
TO 2 cents per mile and reducing freight
rates in state traffic. The injunction
was issued in 1909.
The court declares that the evidence
shows that the reductions would
amount TO almost confiscation of the
railroad properties. The opinion de-
'clares that the provision in the con-
istitution of oklahoma giving the com
mission power to fix the rates is in
conflict with the constitution OF the
United States.

%BUCKETSHOPS LEGAL
in NATIONAL CAPITAL
Jurist Holds Late Act Passed
by Congress to Be
Unconstitutional"

Washington, March S1.-"Bucket-
shopping" in the District of Columbia
is a lawful occupation, according TO a
decision handed down today by Justice
Wright in the district supreme court,
and as a result the widespread crusade
waged by the department of justice to
end the practice in nearly a half score
of cities threatens to come to naught.
Justice Wright based his decision on
the ground hat the amendment to the
code defining "bucketing'' is %unconsti-
tutional because 1t deprives citizens Of
the liberty TO contract guaranteed
them by the constitution.
The decision was rendered in the
case of Edward Altemus, of Jersey
City, and Louis A. Celia, and Angelo
Celia, of st. Louis, who operated a So
called bucketshop under the title of
Standard Stock and Grain company.
With 26 others they were indicted for
running a bucketship here, and while
six Of these pleaded guilty n were
ined in sums aggregating $500, the
remainder decided to fight the mat
ter.
The movements of the government
leading up TO the indictment were
shrouded in the greatest secrecy. On
April 2, 1910, however, when indict-
ments were obtained, raids or shops"
iii seven cities were made simuitan-
eously, wires were cut n customers
were thrown into panic. Since then, ac-
cording to Attorney General Wicker
sham, "bucketshOpping" has become a
thing of the past east OF Denver.
The government today its
intention to appeal from Justice
WrighI's decision.

ms argued that the entrance of woman
into politics is untenable and not pro-
ductive of good results.
At the conclusion of her speech Miss

BARBER RESTORES
BLIND MANS SIGHT
Works a Miracle Where Spec
ialists of World Wide Repu-
tation Had Gievn Up.

San Francisco, March 3.-After try
ing in vain to have his sight restored
by specialists in Vienna, Berlin and
New York. c. d. Cunningham, a
wealthy mining man of Los Angeles,
was suddenly cured of a 10-year blind
ness in a barber shop at Fourth and
Mission streets while having his face
massaged.
Cunningham is staying at the Argo~
naut hotel and is well known here.
While working in a Nevada mine 10
years ago, he was all but totally
linded by a premature blast, losing
the complete sight Of one eye and in
juring the other so badly that he could
scarcely see.
Mine Worth Fortune.
BY a peculiar irony of fate the blast
which lost him his sight won him a
fortune. The mine proved to be valu-
able and he sold it-but Cunningham
had 70 begin spending, trying special
list after specialist. He went TO New
York and from there to Vienna and
Berlin but all his efforts were fruit
less, and he returned to California with
a prospect of spending the rest of his
days blind.
II entered the barber shop to get
oiioNSd, hS Sdlu, DuI was pItNdllcu
upon to have my face massaged. The
barber used the ordinary electrical
massage apparatus. AS he passed it
under my totally blind eye something
seemed to shoot through the back of
my eye and instantly 1 knew l had
recovered my sight"
C~unningham's yell of delight caused
a near panic In the barber shop. He
danced aroun wildly, but managed to
calm down sufficiently to explain that
he wanted the other eye treated in the
same manne The result was fully as
extraordinary. The electrical Vibra-
tons, it seemed, had revived a para
lived nerve.
His Joy is Frantic.
II see, ] see!" shouted Cunningham,
dancing around in a frenzy of delight.
Cunningham burst into the Argonaut
hotel like a whirlwind. The cane
which he formerly carried he discard
&c Grabbing a newspaper, he held il
out at arms length and began to read.
Il can read!" he shouted. His
friends who realized that he had re-
covered his sight, attempted to calm
him, but he. pushed them aside and
ran into the street to look upon the
world, which practically had been
closed to him for 10 years. He ran
along Market street, almost beside
himself with joy, and it was not until
an hour later that he could be per-
suaded to cease from telling pedes-
TRANS n strangers hat ''he could
read"
