case better than any lawyer, Charles

fend himself in the court Of Justice

change Of venue from the court Of
Magistrate G. ]. Smith. He was some

spite Of it all, acting 5 a,e's attorney
Whiteside OF Moline produced sufl-

the attorney had finished his argument
before the court, Reed took up the
argument IN his own behalf. He stat

and when he learned the courts deci-
sion he demanded a new trial. II

Placed in Cars.

Shippers in this city are slowly
forming the conclusion that they are
not being fairly treated by the Rock

which were discussed by several of
them this morning in an informal COR
ference, a petition will be circulated
and presented to the officials OF the
road asking that they be given better
service for handling their freight. AS
il is praCticed now. a shipper must
needs take his freight TO the Twen-
tieth street depot and then see to it
that it is delivered at the car which is
destined to receive it. This works con-
siderable hardship upon those who
have an extensive shipping to do.

Accosted by a colored girl whose

evening placed Mary Thomas under
arrest. This morning she was ar
raigned in police court and fined IS
and costs which amount was produced

Kinsley was dressed in citizens

nue., one of them walked off with a fell
low She went through an alley with
him and the officer followed. They
managed 10 get out of sight. The Off
Ger returned and then the Thomas girl
spoke 10 him.
She was a little peevish when she
learned that she had talked TO an Off
Ger but offered no opposition when he
informed her that she was under ar
rest. This morning when her case
was called for hearing, she had not yet
arisen, and the court was obliged to
wait on her convenience.
HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.
Cases similar to that reported by
officer Kinsley and officer Meenan a
couple of days ago have been frequent
of late and the department has been
instructed to arrest any colored wo-
men who are seen on the street at
night and who are acting in a familiar
manner with persons whom they meet.
The department is determined to put
stop to it and if a fine and a COM
mand to leave town will not bring
about a change in affairs, the women
who are arrested will be sent to the
county Jail.

The sentiment is that the business
done here in the shipping line Is Of
magnitude enough TO warrant the COM

which was formerly used. Under the
former system, freight is taken TO

there by employees of the road who
transfer it to the proper cars and save

Judge Of the Eighth judicial district,
has handed down = decision IS the
Minnesota rate cases, :amrming the
report OF, the master and enjolning The
enforcement of the reduct ionssof pas
senger, freight and commi1aodit rates
after June /, 1911. The decision Va Vas
aeainst the members q the Minnesota
state railroad commission s e on the
ground that the necessary effect of
the reductions ordered was substan-
tally to regulate interstate commerce
and to create unjust diseri1hinations
Between localities in Minnesota and
those III adjoining states in violation
OF the commerce clause Of. the Con
stitution and to take the properties of
the railroad companies without just
compensation. O., The. decision, in brief
holds: .> :.., g.::aii
y first-That the laws of the state
legislature reducing passenger rates
80 is per, cent. and reducing commod.
ity rates 1877 per cent are discrimina-.
tory and in violation of the Constitu.
tion of the~United States $500
Second-That the railroad and ware.
house commissions order reducing
general merchandise rates within the
State is discriminatory apd in viola,
ton of the Constitution OF the United
States. ~ -,
Power Of the Commission.
Third--That a state may regulate in
,trastate commerce. insofar as it does
not burden interstate commerce and
- p farther, thus striking death blow
!, Ut the railroad and warehouse commits.

8 Fonrth-That the nation only,

Fifth All state laws regulating

htsi interstate commerce, are uncton-
Gtitutio and void. isss@. Il 33s7ttj@s.t *
~ Sixth The unavoidable effect 81 the
sweeping laws Of Minnesota reducing
ana regulating rates Is TO directly
discriminate against interstate com.
