ROADS MUST PAY CASH ron ADS
TradiRg Contracts Between Railroads
and Newspapers Improper.

and Newspapers Improper.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O.-Only money
and not advertising can be accepted by
Interstate railroads In payment for trans
portation, according to an Interpretation
announced today by the supreme court Of
the United States OF the Hepburn rate
law Of 1905. The decision involves a large
number OF contracts between the Chicago.
Indianapolis Louisville Railway com
pany and various publishers
The contract between the so-called
"MOnon Route and the Frank A. Munsey
company gave rise to the principal case.
BY the terms OF the contract the Monon
route was TO get one page OF advertising IN
Mnnsey's Magazine In exchange for $500
worth OF transportation. The government
claimed this was in violation Of the Hep
burn rate law enacted in 1906 and asked
the court to enjoin the railroad from issu-
ing transportation. II contended that n
advertising could be accepted railroads
could also accept coal or iron or wood or
oil, or anything else In payment for trans
portaton, thus opening the door to whole
sale determinations among shippers
The railroad argued that as long as the
substitute for money in the payment for
transportation was equivalent In value to
money there was not a different com
pensation under the law.
The United States circuit court for the
northern district OF Illinois granted the re-
lief asked by the government The SUI
preme court today affirmed this decision.
The court also decided that interstate
railroads cannot issue passes for inter
state transportation. even though they had
contracts TO do so before the passage Of
the Hepburn rate law
The statute manifestly means" said
Justice Harlan, that the purchase Of a
transportation ticket by a passenger and
it's sale oy the company shall be consum-
mated only by the former paying cash and

latinE to interstate commerce been ap-
proved by tho supreme court of the United
states as we're established IN its decis-
Ions today as the unquestioned law OF the
land. Decisions on several other difficult
questions also were announced
Among tho questions Of interstate COM
merce decided we're:
That the passenger has 20 right to buy
tickets with survices, ADVERTISING. releases
or property, nor can the railroad company
buy services advertising releases of prop
erty with transportation,
That alew regulating the size OF crews
on trains within the state which is not
an obstruction to interstate commerce. but
is rather enacted in aid Of interstate COM
merce, may be passed by state for the
public safety
That the supreme court will review the
validity OF an order Of the Interstate Com
merce commission even though the two
year limitation on the life of the order
has expired.
Ihat araiiway system may not escape

commerce because one Of it's constituent

so or so feet distant from the trag-
ic scene. Seeing DeRoach's body
pulled up as is bale of hay hoist

horrid sight caused me for once
to forget myself, and l broke the
profound silence by saying: Il will

At this moment l heard one of
the strangers say:"O, you, dry up,
then another voice saying: THAT is
that id lawyer; let's hang him
too, and make clean sweep of it,"
At that instant few of the mob
made rush towards the place
