Their Absolute Duty to Keep
Safety Appliances in
Repair.
SUPREME COURT .
Hereafter Mere Reasonable
Diligence on Their Part
Will Not Suffice.

Washington, May 16.-Railroads
coming within the terms OF the safety
appliance acts of Congress in 1893 and
1903 are under an absolute duty to keep
in repair automatic couplers and other
appliances prescribed by law, and not
merely a duty to exercise reasonable
diligence in repairing. Such was the
decision to-day OF the Supreme Court
of the United States.
Vital Questions.
BY an odd coincidence. a number of
vital questions concerning the scope
of the safety appliance acts of Con-
gress came before the Supreme Court
of the United States about the same
time and were hoard together.
One of these arose in tho suit OF Il.
NJ. Delk. n brakeman on the St Louis
and San Francisco Railroad Company,
for injuries suffered while attempting
to manipulate a defective coupler OF
a car on switch in Memphis, Tenn
The United States Circuit Court of APP
peals for the Sixth Circuit finally de-
cided against pels, on the ground that
while the railroad WAS under an alb
solute duty to equip cars with auto
matte couplers and other appliances re !.
CURED by the safety appliance acts,
yet 1t was only under the common law
when 1t came TO repairing the APP
pliances. Delk had contendcd that the
acts changed tile common law duty so
AS to make tho railroad absolutely
liable for. not repairing appliances re ;
CURED by the statutes. as well as
for not equipping cars with the APP
pliances
The direct reverse of this holding
was announced by the United States
Circuit Court or Appeals for the Eighth
Circuit. when the United States sought
to recover from tho Chicago. Burling-
ton and Quincy Railway Company 500
for each of four alleged violations OF
the acts. There 1t was held that tho
railway company was under an abso-
lutte obligation to keep the safety ap-
planes with which their cars must
BIO equipped in repair Tho railroad
claimed that the court hold them liable
notwithstanding the company did not
know It's cars were out OF repair and
had no intention TO violate the law.
Case in Colorado.
Another question was passed upon
by the United States District Court of
Colorado. when II held that the Colo
RADIO and Northwestern Railroad Com
pnny. narrow gauge ra'lrond entirely
within Boulder county, Col, and said
to be using locomotives and cars
equipped with tho old link and pin
couplcrs was liable to the government
for violation Of the law. In so doing
the court held that II was not neces-
sary to order or bring connecting
carrier within tho safety appliance acts
for 1t to have an arrangement for a

RAILROADS ORDERED
TO COMPLY WITH ACTS
ANOTHER TWIST
IN BATHTUB CASE
Supreme Court May Be Called
On to Interpret Immunity
Statutes.

Washington. May l6.--Thc govern
ments case against the so-cailed
Bathtub Trust took twist to-
day. which may involve an interpreta-
ton OF the immunity statutes by tho
Supreme Court of the United States,
and may possibly thereby affect near
Iy every antitrust prosecution now
under way.
The Colweu Lead Company, one OF
the defendants In the governments
civil suit asked the Supreme Court to
review Judge Howiand's recent de-
cision in the United States Circuit
Court in 'niladelphia, that one de-
fendant in the case, when called by
another as a witness. could not claim
the protection of the immunity
statutes. The Department OF Justice
holds that Congress intended the i'm
munity statutes to protect witnesses
testifyng for the government. Judge
Rowland SO ruled. Department of Jus
tice officials declare that to allow i'm
munity to one defendant nan anti
trust suit because he Is called as n
witness by n co-defendant would prao-
ticany emasculate tho Sherman law
Dignity Raised Notch.
The dignity of assistant secretaries
IN the government departments hero
was raised notch or SO to-day when
the supreme Court held that notice BY
Assistant Secretary OF War Oliver
to the Hannibal Bridge Company 10
alter Its bridge across the NIissIssippi
River was equivalent to notice by the
Secretary of War. President Taft was
Secretary of War when tho notfce was
Issued
The bridge company failed to make
the alterations. When the government
proceeded against 1t aud The wabash

bridge. the point was raised that the
law requiring the Secretary OF War;
TO give notice was not satisfied by the

Juarez. Mexico. May I5.-lndirect as
suranres that the Federal government
is inclined to accept the propositions
submitted unoficially within the las,
two. days by the Insurrectos for the
establishment of peace were received
here today BY Rafael Hernandez, one
of the go betweens In the negotiations
The government is believed to be
ready TO reorganize the cabinet and
give the ihsurrectos four members out
of eight and to allow the revolution
lists TO name outright fourteen Gov
errors of twentyseren states, and by
mutual agreement select the remain
ing sixteen Governors.
More definite ad Sices giving the atti-
tude of the government were expected
later In the day. Optimism of the
probable success of the peace pnrleys
now taking place by telegraph with
Mexico City prevailed to-day.
Not Likely to Attack.
II was not believed that Colonel
Rabago. who last night was reported
to be marching on Juarez. would pro-
yoke any engagement Mt this time.
though the insurrectos took no chances
and prepared to meet him.
Some reports had 1t that Rabago
villas and Terrazas were not far from
Chihuahua, and a weeks march from
here, awaiting orders. The belief
exists that the Federal government
Will not In that case send him march
