Decisions By The Supreme Court.

By unanimous decision, the United State:
Supreme Court on Tuesday decided tina,
the Federal Government could not main.
tain the so-called Panama Canal libel
suit" against the Press Publishing Com
pany OF New York in the Federal courts OF
New York. In so holding the court affirm
ed the decision of the circuit court of the
United States for the Southern district OF
New York, which had quashed the famous
Indictment. In effect, the decision was
that the Federal court had no jurisdiction
over the alleged offense, because the case
might have been brought in a State court.
The indictment, brought against the pub
fishers of the New York World, CHARGED
that this newspaper had published articles
stating that. through intimate acquaintance
with Theodore Roosevelt, then the Presi-
dent of the United States. and William H.
Taft, then Secretary of War, Charles P.
Taft, Douglass Robinson and William Nell
son Cromwell. with j, Pierpont Morgan and
others, reaped profit of $36,000,000 in
buying the Panama Canal from the French
company and selling it to the United States
The otfense consisted in circulating the
copies of the newspaper on the Federal
reservation at West Point, ~ Y.
The court held constitutional the New
York banking law of 1910, to regulate the
conduct of individuals and partnerships
engaged in the business of receiving de-
posits for safe keeping or for transmission
Of moneyto another without being licensed.
The law was enacted to cure abuses said
to exist principally in the case of banks
dealing largely with immigrants and aliens.
The new policy of law making an initial
carrier of interstate commerce liable for
loss to shipments while in transportation,
not only on its lines but on those of con-
Meeting carriers, was declared constitu-
tional by the court. The policy was in
corporated in the so-called "Carmack
amendment" to the Hepburn rate law.

Letters to the Editor
Lees Surrender

re<the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l have expected some one to take up Ned Brace on his history-as per Sun days edition. He said in reference to General Grant that he had generously re- turned Lees sword at the time of sur render. This is not the history of the case. I would like Ned Brace" to look Into the matter and let us hear from him. I think he will find that no sword was surrendered nor the thought of such a thing. I know that in 65 General Grant after AppomattoX, was popular with Con- federate soldiers, as they believed him above the petty malice that damned some Of his big men into very small dimen- sions in the estimate of the south. Later as the facts and conditions become known they have grown smallel%with all the word. 1 think Ned Brace will find that Lee made his own conditions of sur render and that Grant invited him to make the terms himself. These terms ex- pressly were that officers would retain tEeir side arms and the private property >+5ould be retained by all soldiers" This YGved the horses to Lees men. Marshall, dies chief of staff, wrote the conditions, , 1. d before they were signed Grants at , tention was called to the scope of the terms Gas to the orses), and he said that Grant only hesltated a moment, and then signed, saying the boys will need the, horses in their crops" The soldiers thought for some time that retaining the horses was due entirely to Grant. But Grant only agreed to the conditions that Lee had written out. Then Lees army stacked armes-7S92 rfles-in the presence Of Grants army of 100000 effectives. after . week of incessant fighting and march fng. without rations. Thus ended the grandest struggle for home rule the an- uals of time ever recorded

TO ABOLISH JURY
 COMMISSIONERS
Joint Committee Decides to Make Favorable Report on This
 Matter

Montgomery, March 1.-(Special)- Agreement was tonight reached by the joint committee which was appointed sev- eral weeks ago to revise the state jury commission law to report a bill in the senate tomorrow which will abolish the office of the jury commissioners.
 Abolition of the office carries with it the provision that the work shall be done by the county boards of revenue, thereby throwing out of office. if the proposed measured is passed, in the neighborhood of 25O officials.
 Abolition of the office has been consid- cred necessary in view of the clumsiness of the recent machinery of the state.
 To all effects the Sprott bill, which has been before the senate since the assem- bly, of the solons, will be passed in its original shape.

 Mir LaFollette declared that "every line tof testimony convcts the senator not only of obtaining his seat by bribery. but of being a participant in that bribery.
 He turned with trembling voice and gesticulating hands toward the seat of MT Loriiner on his left.

 Senator Burrows of Michigan, whose committee exonorated the accused sem ator. was on his feet trying to interrupt. He tried to read from the minority report which declared that the evidence did not prove complicity on Lorimers part.
 Does the senator yield?' asked the pre- siding officer.

Huddleston Explains
To the Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Permit me to correct the erroneous statement of your Montgomery corre- spondent that the delegation which called on Governor O'Neal on the 21th ultimo did so in the interest of MT. Ward as com missioner. MT. Wards name was men toned only single time during our in terview with the governor Speaking for myself, I wish to say that my call on the governor was not on behalf of any man or set of men. ;.s purpose was to pro- test against the continuation of the old regime in control of city affairs ] do not favor the appointment of either MT. Jones or MT. Exurn as commissioners and l gave Governor ONeal my reasons for my op position MT. Ward would make a good commissioner, anS there are dozens of other good men in Birmingham who would be equally acceptable. From my point of view, this is not question of partisan ohip, but of good government Yours re- epectfully, GEORGE HUDDLESTON.

Local Data
Weather Conditions

Birmingham, March l, ' p. m.-Rain or snow was very general the past 24 hours from eastern Texas and Oklahoma, and Missouri to Georgia and the Carolinas, as we'll as at stations on the Canadian side of the lakes. Precipitation continued till [ D. m tonight at a few stations. This precipitation was caused by the continued influence of an extensive area of high pressure extending the full length of the Rocky mountains, and a comparatively small but mergetic low" central at Montreal, Canada. The high barometric area is causing westerly winds in the South Atlantic and Gulf states with the resulting cooler weather. Temperatures are rising almost everywhere west of the Mississippi except in eastern Texas and Louisiana. and east of the Mississippi they are rising northward of parallel 3I degrees. It is + degrees colder in Biz mingham than yesterday at p. m.
