For so long period has Paul de Longpre
been closely identified with the art life of the
United States, and particularly of southern Cali
forn1a, where he has long made his home that
many persons overlook the fact-which might in
deed be suspected from his name-that he is a
native of our sister republic of France Born In
Paris some 1fty-fve years ago, he was one of ten
children and enjoyed few early advantages of
an educational character. However, as a young
boy he manifested talent, seemingly amounting
almost to genius for the painting of floral sub

INJUNCTION DENIED
BY FEDERAL COURT
Mil City "Strap Hanger Law
Held Constitutional.

Minneapolis, April 22--Judge c. A.
Willard of the federal district court
has denied the injunction applied for
by the street car company to restrain
the city of Minneapolis from enforc-
ing its recently passed strap hanger
ordinance and its service extension
resolutions. The court listened to ar
guments for three days.
The strap hanger me asure, Judge
Willard ruled, does not impair the
obligation of the contract between the
city and the company and does not
deprive the company of its property
without due process of law, as was
alleged in the company's bill.
In passing comment on the ordi-
nance the court declared that it ap-
pealed to him as perhaps not drastic
enough, as it permits the crowding of
a car when there Is no other within
800 feet He suggested an ordinance
merely prohibiting the company from

Railway Age Gazette Discusses Re-
cent Decision in Minnesota Case.
Chicago, April 22.-That the recent
decision filed in ST Paul by Federal
Judge Walter H. Sanborn in the Min
iesota rate case, if upheld by the SUI
preme court of the United States, viii
create a possibility for an astounding
increase in railway rates throughout
the United States, was the statement
made by Samuel o. Dunn, editorial
director of the Railway Age Gazette,
in an address to students of Nortn-
western university, Evanston
The speaker pointed out that, ac-
cording to Judge Sanborns ruling, the
railways in Minnesota are entitled to
a net return of per cent on their
valuation and that such valuation must
be based upon what il would now cost
to reproduce the property used by the
railroads for transportation purposes
Senator Cummins of Iowa." said
Mr.. Dunn, "in speech in Chicago a
year ago, expressed the opinion that
a valuation would show that the cost
of reproducing all the railways of the
United States would be $4,000, 900, ,000
as compared with their present cap

Means Increase in Earnings.
Seven per cent on their outstan1-
ing capitalization would be $95, 5,000-
900, or $126,000.000 per annum more
than their present net earnings. Seven
per cent on valuation of $20,000,000.-
900 would be 81, 100000, or $780,
100000 more than their present net
earnings per annum.
The demand for valuation was
started as means for reducing rates,
but no better means could have been
contrived by human ingenuity for JUS
tifying advances in them.
"While a valuation might give the
railways legal license substantially to
raise their rates it probably would not
be commercially practicable for them
to do so.
1T is widely believed that the rail
ways are not only overcapitalized. but
that they have so adjusted their rates
as to pay return on their capitalize
ton. But they have not done SO. in
some years many have become bank
rupt.'
