The Medical College boys claim to

They boast that they can down the

the fact that Sidner-and
William and Mary have already met

Blues were able TO take the measure

are famous for having fast football
teams and even that crack aggrega
tion found the Richmond Medicoes

Medical College only lost by six
points TO the Norfolk team and they
expect to show an improved game
against Richmond's crack military
organization.
The Richmond Blues, however. are
by no means distnayed at the repu-

riors have been putting in strenuous
practice of late they may surpriDe

ROBNETT FREE-PARDONED BY TAFT TODAY
SPOKANE LOSES BY
COMMERCE COURT RULE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The con-
stitutionality of the long and short
clause of the act to regulate inter-
state commerce was established to-
day by decision of the Court of Com
merce.
In written decision in the Spokane
rate case, published today, the court
explains that it enjoined the reduction
of the rates which the interstate COM
merce commission ordered because
the court disagreed with the commits
sioners' methods in making the rates,
but that cit found satisfaction in up
holding the long and short haul clause
of the law"
The commerce court emphasized it's
under the law to grant eX-
ceptions to the application of the long
and short haul clause, declaring the
belief that cities having water traffic
are entitled to lower rates than cities

| where there is no water competition
This is a serious blow to Spokane
Reno and other intermountain cities
The courts statement said:
ut so far as the interstate
commerce commission attempts to de-
termine the relation of long and short
haul rates irrespective of absolute
rates it exceeds its authority for it is
not within the power of the commits
sion to say that 100 per cent, 107 per
cent or any given percentage of an
unknown or less than reasonable rate
to the coast is necessarily maximum
reasonable and non discriminatory
rate from the same point or origin to
an interior point Though this de-
cision enjoined the reducing of rates
in intermountain cities as the Inter
state commerce commission ordered
the court has found satisfaction in up
holding the long and short haul clause
of the law"

the Peace Henry Cummings. Other
warrants will probably be served to-
morrow.
AS general thing conditions in
Moscow are said to be very good. At
both bakeries on Third street changes
were ordered and the proprietors
made haste to comply. The inspec-
tors were thanked for their visits,
and assurance made that the law
would be obeyed to the letter.
The dining room of the Idaho hotel
was closed, and cannot be opened till
it is cleaned up. The Del Norte
kitchen was passed as good as it
could be kept in a building of the
class, all food products being found
in good condition. Stewart Brothers
livery stable was examined and pro-
nOunced one of the most sanitary in
the state. The other stables have not
been inspected.
