TRAIN WRECKERS CAUSE
DISASTER IN THE WEST
Special oy United Press Wire.

Special b/ United Press Wire.
Detroit, May 31:-Engineer Dun
ton and Fireman Oakes were instant
ly killed when their engine left the
tracks and buried them under it.
The accident occurred at Ridgetown,
Ont, and is thought to have been
the work of train wreckers. No pas
sengers were hurt. That the entire
train was not wrecked Is considered
miraculous by railroad officials who
believe robbery WAS the motive. Sc
quickly was the relief sent, however,
that there was no looting.

MAY RENEW ATTACK
Government Allowed to Amend
Bill in Coal Case.
sUPREMEC0URT'S DECISION
Opinion Directly Affects Prosecution
of Lehigh Valley Railroad.
REEVES COMMODITIES CLAUSE
Hepburn Law Prevents Subsidiary
Companies Being Used as Blinds
to Get Control.

The United States Supreme Court yes.
terday handed down an important decision
concerning the right of the railroads In
the anthracite coal region to control the
coal output. In this case the appellant
was the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany and the court directed the lower
court to permit the government to file
an amended bill in its prosecution Of the
.ehigh Valley for alleged violation OF
the Hepburn act
Chief Justice White announced the de-
cision Of the court. The entire bench
agreed with his statement. although on
the previous consideration Of the case
Justice Harlan dissented from the judg-
ment Of the court
The Chief Justice took the position that
the lower court had erred in refusing to
allow the government to amend its orig.
inal petition. He referred to the refusal
as IAN absolute abuse Of discretion
He said, however. that the abuse was
obviously occasioned by misconcep-
ton Of the character of the action OF
this court and the scope Of the mandate
Refers to Former Decision.
while .that decision expressly held,
said the Chief Justice. in referring to the
ago, that stock ownership by a railroad
company in a bona fide corporation. ire
spective of the extent OF such ownership
did not preclude a railroad company
from Transporting the commodity manu-.
featured. mined. produced or owned by
such corporation. nothing in that conclu
sion foreclosed the right OF the govern.
ment to question the power of the rail.
road company to transport in interstate
commerce commodity manufactured
mined. owned or produced by corpora.
where the power of the railroad company
as a stakeholder was used to obliterate
all distinctions between the two corpora
tons. That Is to say. where the power
was exerted in such q manner SO as tc
commingle the affairs Of both as by
practically undistinguishable and there
fore to cause both corporations to be one
for all purposes
The decision was summed up by the
Chief Justice in these words:
= ut must be held that while the
holder to use Its stock ownership for
the purpose Of bona fide separate ad-
ministratton of the affairs of a cor
poration in which 1t has a stock in
terest may not be denied. the use of
such stock ownership in substance
for the purpose OF destroying the en-
tity of producing. etc. corporation and
tration with the affairs Of the rail-
road company so as to make the two
corporations virtually one, brings the
railroad company SO voluntarily acting
as to such producing. etc.. corporation.

LAST RITES PERFORMED
FOR MARY LEE FENDALL
Whom Thackeray Once Declared to
Be Most Brilliant Woman
in America.

Funeral services for Mary Lee Fendall,
whom Thackeray once pronounced to be
the most brilliant woman in America -
took place at the family residence. 1913
New Hampshire avenue northwest, last
Saturday. The interment was made later
in Alexandra, where other members of
her family are buried.
Miss Fendall was a great-niece OF
Light Horse Harry Lee of revolution
airy fame. and the daughter OF Philip
Richard Fendall, jurist and writer. She
was regarded as a beauty and q great
belle many years ago. She was known
Thackeray was visiting this country he
was presented to Miss FendaIl. and later
paid her the compliment quoted.
Noted for Wit and Beauty.
At an early age Miss FendalI through
the death Of her mother. became the
head Of her fathers household
At that time the Fendall home occu.
ing, at the corner Of D street and John
Marshall place. and was the scene of many
brilliant entertainments. Henry Clay
Daniel Webster and jefferson Davis were
among the frequent visitors at the Fen.
doll. 1t was In this house that Robert e.
Lee, then a lieutenant colonel In the
United States army. Is said to have de.
clared that he hoped Virginia would not
secede, but that IL she did secede his first
allegiance was due to his state.
Miss Fendalls death is regretted by q
large circle of friends. Her loyalty ia
her family and friends. the simplicity OF
her life. and her many acts OF charity
in Washington are recalled as character
istics witch won for. her the love and
admiration OF many.

Government to Amend Petition.

AS result Of the decision, the lower
court will now allow the government to
amend its petition in the Lehigh Valley
railroad case. A different situation arises
in regard to the Erie, the Central OF
New Jersey and the Pennsylvania. In
those cases the government did not ask
for leave to amend, considering the Lee
high Valley suit a test case. The gov
eminent did ask the court to dismiss the
Erie. Central and Pennsylvania cases
without prejudice, but this was refused
and the circuit court dismissed the cases.
This dismissal was approved by the SUI
preme Court. Ordinarily this would pre-
clude the government bringing neE suits
against these railroads.
An important decision of the United
States Supreme Court yesterday was in
the. case Of the interstate commerce COM
mission against the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad Company.
wherein the commission was sustained in
its order requiring carriers to give car
load rates on shipments assembled in
carload lots and forwarded from a single
consignor to q single consignee.
The forwarding companies petitioned
the commission to make an order di-
recting the railroads and express COM
panies to accept and forward greight Of
fered for shipment at the carload rates
within the territory east of the Missis-
sippi river and north of the Ohio river.
The order was made, by q majority vote
of the commission, Commissioners Knapp
and Harlan dissenting. The opinion sus-
tanning the order was. delivered by Frank
lin K. Lane.>
The. Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad Company sought and OBJ
tanned an injunction enjoinining the COM
mission from enforcing the order. The
Interstate commerce commission appealed
from the decree Of the lower court to
the United States Supreme Court which
sustained the commissions order.
