MOON BILL
AMENDED
WILL PREVENT REMOVAL OF some
STATE SUITS TO FEDERAL
COURTS
The HOUSE ADOPTS IT

Washington, Jan. 19-The house of
representatives yesterday adopted an
amendment to the Moon bill codify-
ing laws relating to the judiciary,
which will have the effect of stopping
the practice of corporations doing an
interstate business from taking pract-
tically all suits against them out of
the hands of state courts and placing
them in the federal courts.
The amendment was offered by
Representative Garrett, of Tennessee,
and after preliminary skirmish in
which party lines were tightly drawn,
was finally adopted by practically
unanimous vote. The amendment in
full is as follows:
against a corporation or Joint stock
company brought in state court
of the state in which the plaintiff re-
sides or in which the cause of action
arises, or in which the defendant has
it's place of business, or carries or its
business, shall be removed to any
United States court on the ground oi
diverse citizenship"
Mr.. Garrett in explaining the
amendment, said it would prevent a
New Jersey corporation, for instance
from transferring state court suits
against it to the United States court
on the ground that the officers and
directors of the corporation live il
| New York.
| The amendment is regarded AS ar
important one and called out gen
era1 debate.

Returns Kept Secret.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 19.-Repre-

has introduced a joint resolution, the
purpose of which is to permit an in
spection of the original returns of the
census enumerators, as such returns
relate to the population.
"This resolution" said Mr.. Lever,
comes as the result of numerous
complaints from towns and cities as
to their population as shown by the
figures can not now be changed, but
the principle which permits the Di-
rector OF the Census to conceal from
the public the enunmerators' returns,
matter of such wide public interest,
is wrong and calculated to be wrong
fully used. These returns shoulG be
available for public inspection. and
there is no reason which appeals to
me for regarding them as secret. The
Director of the Census goes to the
extent of refusina o allow a member
of Congress perm sion to see these
returns, and only such a resolution as
have introduced and hope to pass,
will give the public the light to
