SUPREME COURT
HAS BIG DOCKET
Justices Resume Work With 781
Actions Awaiting Decision.
MINNESOTA RATE CASE IS UP
'committee Of Governors Will Appear
In Behalf Of the state-lmpor-
tant Antitrust Cases to
Be Heard.

Washington, Oct 9.-When the Su-
preme Court convened today after Its
summer vacation it was confronted
by an exceptionally heavy docket, con.
sisting OF ISL actions, as compared
with 696 a year ago. Transportation
rates will be the principal questions
that the court will have to decide, and
although the cases are by no means
SO important as the Standard Oil and
tobacco trust suits, the decisions are
eagerly awaited by the railroad inter.
ests throughout the country.
Perhaps the most important OF
these suits is the Minnesota rate case,
in which Judge Sanborn of the United
States circuit court held that the state
had no right to regulate rates within
its borders. This decision was based
on the theory that interstate com
merce might be affected by such &C
ton. During the recent conference of
governors at Spring Lake, N. j., the
attention Of the entire country was
called to the matter by the speech of
Governor Aldrich of Nebraska, who at,
tackled Judge Sanborn's decision and
said that the federal courts were tres.
passing on the rights of the state. A
committee headed by Governor Har,
mon OF Ohio was appointed to appear
in the supreme court ON behalf of the
state.
Important Antitrust Cases.
Next come several antitrust" cases
whose hearing has been held up pend.
ing the tobacco and Standard Oil de,
cisions.f These actions all involve the
Interpretation of the Sherman law,
and the decisions rendered are expect.
ed to mark definitely the bounds OF
the trust decisions of last spring.
The hard coal case constitutes an
attack by the government on the prin.
cipal anthracite coal carrying rail
roads and coal mine owning compan,
les in Pennsylvania
In the st. Louis bridge case the
government contends that the agree,
ments whereby the Terminal Railroad
association of ST. Louis acquired the
ownership, control and operation OF
the Fades bridge and the merchants
bridge abross the Mississippi violate
the Sherman antitrust law. The
United States circuit court for east
ern Missouri dismissed the bill
Cotton Corner Case.
Nothing like the cotton corner case
has ever before come before the Su
preme Court. The government will ask
the Supreme Court to override the &C.
ton of the United States circuit court
for southern New York in striking
out an indictment against James A
Patten, Eugene G. Scales, Frank B
Hayne and William p. Brown. Three
counts charged that these men con
spired to monopolize the interstate
trade and commerce in available cot.
ton by acquiring enough of that com
modify on the New York cotton ex
change to give the alleged conspira
tors power to fix arbitrary and exces
sive prices.
The so-called "turpentine case" in
wolves the validity of the Indictment
and conviction of the American Naval
Stores company of charges of hav
ing violated the Sherman antitrust
law.
The decision Of the interstate com,
merce commission will claim the at

of children, who were playing in the
street, all unconscious of their dan
ger. DR.. L. A. Riser was sitting IN
his buggy in front of the Hendrix no.
tel, out Of danger, but seeing the dan
ger of the children, he jumped IN
front of the mad animal, in an at
tempt to turn it. out of it's course.
He did this, but as the animal turned
the buggy went over and knocked the
young man down. He caught under
the buggy and was dragged several

No braver thing than DR.. Riser's
action has ever been seen in Leesville.
There were about ten children. all

the horse was running directly for
them. DR.. Riser was in no danger
