tail. We must have been below the
fiftieth degree of south latitude, and
about 135 degrees west, with the wind
strong and occasionally putting up
into squalls, bearing flakes of snow
which stung exposed flesh and left
thin mantle of white along the decks.
1t was Tuttle's watch below, and as
paused in the protection Of the COM
panionway looking forward, while
got my pipe going, l could see De
Nova on the bridge wrapped up like
mummy, and crouching well down be-
hind the tarpaulins. All about was a
wild sea scene, never to be looked
upon amid any other stretch of waters
on the globe-a dull, dead picture of
utter desolation, of madly racing
waves, of green, sullen sea- Of pale
blue sky the very frost in the air ap-
parent; cold, drear expanse Of mo-
notonous distance wherever the eye
looked-a desert of water below, a
void of air above Big Bill Anderson,
his head still bound up where l had
cracked him, slouched in the doorway
of the charthouse, staring aft, and
moment later De Nova came lumber
ing down the steps from the bridge
and spoke with him for some earnest
ly. The boatswain finally went for
ward, clinging to a lifeline to keep
footing on the slippery deck, and the
second officer clawed along the wealth
er-rail until he reached the companion.

ELECTIONS WERE PEACEFUL

Lisbon, May 29.-Perfect order pre-
vale yesterday at the elections for the
constituent assembly, which were held
throughout the country. In thirty
out of fifty-one constituencies, the
seats were disputed by candidates of
the directory of the republican, the
Independent republican and the Soc
ialist parties. In the other constitu-
encies the regular republicans were
unopposed. The monarchists ATTAINED
from putting forward candidates de-
claring that the elections presented
no guarantees of liberty or sincerity.
Instead, they circulated all sorts of
rumors of a counter revolution, an
armed invasion by way of the Galician
frontier and similar attempts against
the government.

HAIL DAMAGED GREEN HOUSES

Considerable damage was done yes

buildings and gardens of the Las

SUPREME COURT so HOLDS
RENDERS OPINION IN TEST CASE
BROUGHT BY DR.. Q. A. JOHN
SON, OF MISSOURI
Pure FOOD LAW DEFECTIVE
1T APPLIES ONLY TO MlSsTATE.
MENTs ABOUT INGREDIENTS
OF PRESCRIPTIONS

Washington, May 29.-Drugs may bt
labeled as cures and yet be absolutely
Ineffective for that purpose without
violating the national pure food ant
drugs act, according to a decision to
day by majority of the Supreme
I'Court Of the United States in the case
OF DR.. o. A. Johnson.
Johnson was indicted in the federal
courts of Missouri, in 1909, on a
charge of having violated the pure
food and drugs act Of 1906. 1t was
alleged that Johnson, doing business
under the name of company, ship
ped from one state to another certain
articles designated as "Cancerine Tab
let's" etc., the labels upon which were
false and misleading in that they i'm
piled that the articles would cure and
were effective in bringing about the
cure of cancer. 1t was alleged in one
indictment that this statement was un-
true and the articles were worthless
and ineffective for such purposes.
The indictment was quashed on the
ground that the pure food and drugs
act was restricted to prevention of
about the ingredients
Of drugs; and did not include the pre-
vention of misstatements about the
curative properties of medicines. The
appealed to the supreme
court. 1t was the first case to come
to the court under the drug section
Of the act.
In the arguments before the supreme
court, the government admitted that
The construction it put upon the law
would probably break up the patent
medicine business in this country. On
behalf Of DR.. Johnson, it was con-
ended that If the governments view
prevailed that every physician would
become criminal if he prescribed for
| patient in another state and made
my suggestion as to the efficacy of
MS prescription. It was stated also
hat the biggest trust in the United
States, the medical trust, dominated
oy the so-called regular physicians,
would be delighted If the patent medi-
line concerns were put out of busi-
less by this case.

HANDS DOWN A DECISION
BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD
COMPANY LOSES CASE BE-
FORE HIGHEST TRIBUNAL
WHAT The ACT PROVIDES
MAKES 1T UNLAWFUL FOR COM.
MON CARRIERS TO OVER.
WORK THEIR EMPLOYEES

Washington, May 29.-"The hours
of service law for railroad employees"
passed by congress in 1907, was up.
held today as constitutional by the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The decision was announced by JUS
tice Hughes in the test case Instituted
by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
company.
The act made it unlawful for any
common carrier engaged in Interstate
commerce to permit any trainman
subject to the act to remain on duty
for longer period than sixteen cen
secutive hours, or any telegraph op-
orator more than nine or thirteen
hours, according to the tinte the tele-
graph station was opened for busi-
ness. The act also created periods
of rest for the employees.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad com
pany attacked the law as unconstitu-
tional on the ground that it applied
to intra-state as well as to interstate
railroads and employees. The order
~ which the interstate commerce COM
mission placed the law into operation
vas attacked also. The railroad COM
,any claimed that congress could not

eports of violation of the law; that

make the reports constituted a taking
f the railroads property without due
of law and therefore in viola
ion of the constitution; and that it

ers and employees of the railroad,

The objections to the law were met
nth denials by the government. Both
he law itself and the order, drafted
y the interstate commerce commits
ion, were upheld as constitutional by
he circuit court of the United States
or the district of Maryland, where
he case originated.

DENSE FOG OBSCURED VIEW
THIS FACT, TOGETHER WITH MIS-
UNDERSTANDING OF ORDERS,
BLAMED FOR DISASTER

IMPACT WAS TERRIFIC, DUE TO
HIGH SPEED AT WHICH BOTH
WERE RUNNING

McCook, Neb., May 29.-Burlingtor
train No. 9 the westbound Colorado
limited, and eastbound passenger No
II collided during a thick fog nine
miles east of here early this morning
Nine people Were killed and eighteen
injured.
The members of the Omaha and
Denver Western League baseball
teams were passengers on the west
bound train. All were severely bruis-
ed and shaken up but none was seri-
ously injured. james McGill, presi-
dent of the Denver club, had one of
the bones in his left foot broken, and
Pitcher Kinsella, of the Denver team,
received a deep cut in the face.
Both trains were running at high
speed when the collision occurred, but |
the force of the collision was appar-
entity felt more by the heavy west
bound train. The day coach was re
duced to splinters, and in this coach
most of the casualties occurred. Both
engines were reduced to mass OF
twisted steel, beneath which were the
mangled bodies of the engineers and
firemen.
AS soon as news of the wreck
reached McCook, two relief trains,
carrying surgeons and nurses, were
made up and hurried to the scene of
the wreck.
The 1ead and injured will be
brought here. 1t will be several hours
before the track can be cleared.
The cause of the accident has not
been learned, but it is reported that
a misunderstanding of orders was re-
sponsible.
