Application of the Safety Appliance

Appliance Act as amended by Act Of
March 2. 1908 (32 Stat. at L. s43, chap.
976: U. S. Comp. Stat Supp. 1909, p.
114s) provides. that the act shall ZAP
cars, and similar vehicles and on any
railroad engaged in the Interstate
commerce, and in the terri cries and
the District of Columbia, and to all
other locomotives, tenders, cars, and
similar vehicles used in connection
Herewith Does the act apply to
cars, ETC., that are run on railroads
engaged in interstate commerce which
are carrying wholly intrastate goods,
and, if the act does cover such intra.-
state traffic, is it invalid as exceeding
the powers of Congress? The Unit
ed States Supreme Court held that it
was the manifest intention Of the act
that the phrase ION any railroad en-
gagged should embrace cars, etc, that
are run ON interstate lines regardless
OF whether they are carrying in err
state or intras ate shipments; that the
latter clause of the amendment operat-
ed as mere redundancy, and was in no
sense repugnant to the first clause
The act is valid not because Congress
has the power to regulate intrastate
commerce. but because it's power to
regulate interstate commerce is plen-
ary; the court saying that local and
TO! eign shipments are SO commingted
on Interstate lines that the two could
not be separated for the purposes Of
the act, and that, even if they were
the accidents resulting to local trains
beca of ronconformity to the act
would interfere with the interstate
trains following and would therefore
interfere with interstate commerce.

Father Corbett breaches Upon
"lhe Consequence of SIN,
Death Eternal"

At st. Augustine's church last even
ing. Father Corbett, the eloquent
Jesuit priest from New York who has
been conducting a series of Wednes-
the fourth of the series to a congre-
cation that taxed the capacity of the
big church to the utmost.
Following up his subject of last
week, "Sin, the Wrong Solution of
the Problem of Life" Father Cor
Consequence of Sin, Death External"
In the development of the subject,
Father Corbett mentioned the disbe-
lief in the minds of many as to the
existence of place of eternal pun
ishment and showed the folly of try
ing to reconcile such disbelief with a
profession of Christianity.
Taking as his text the words of
Isaiah the Prophet, (which of you
can dwell with devouring fire? Which
of you shall dwell with everlasting
burnings?" (XXXIIIO the preacher
there are a great many who scott at
the existence of He'll who deny it
not because of any logical conviction
but because they do not wish to be-
lieve in it. They cling to their sin
full, sensual lives, disregarding utterly
the ultimate penalty.
1.-THE existence of He'll is an article
of our faith. For a true Christ an,
one who believes in Christ and ac-
cepts the words of Christ the divine
teacher there is no LOGICAL refutation
of this doctrine. In the Gospel &C
cording to Matthew, (X-2s). the Re-
deemer says, Fear We not them that
kill the body and are not al to Kill
the soul; but rather fear Him that
can destroy both body and soul into

Cross and Gre Round Hogan engage
In a ten-rourd bout were sore'y els
appointed when they were treated to
near riot instead of a boxing exhi-
bition. Charlie White, the referee,
disqualified Hogan after two minutes
OF fighting, awarding the decision to
Cross because Hogan hit in the
clinches
In the first minute of fighting Cross
hammered Hogan all over the ring and
had the California scrapper's head
bobl ing back and forth as result of
repeated hooks and jabs- To avoid
punishment Hogan ran into clinches
several times, and when ordered to
break clean, which under the rules of
the Boxing Commission contestants
must do, Hogan persisted in disobey-
ing the orders of the referee. Hogan
was cautioned several times, until
White showed him to his corner and
motioned that Cross was the winner.
The fare began to shout on all sides.
