-llcrcd.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.--With more
than one hundred cases under con-
sidelalon. the supreme court Of the
United States is eXpNted to hand
down many important decisions to-
morrow, when it conyenes after the
holiday recess
More light may be shed on the anti
trust problem by decisions in the St
Louis bridge case; the hard coal'
.suit against the principal tnthricite
coal carrying railways and coal pro
Iducing companies Of and
the cotton corner" case, arising out
.of transactions on the New York cot
ton exchange.
The validity Of several federal laws
may be determined Foremost among
these is the employers liability law,
which has been under consideration
by the court since last February A
second decision may be rendered re-
sarding the validity of the Car
mack amendment to the interstate
laws. whereby iGta> carriers were
made liable for damages or loss Of
goods whether occurring on their
lines or those of connecting carriers
The fate of score or more Of
state laws may be decided. or these,
the constitutionality Of the Oregon in
tiative and referendum system has at
tracted the most attention, because
the ruling of the court will be appli-
cable to laws in nearly half the states
of the union.
Foreign corporation laws of Kan
sas New York, and Texas may be
passed upon other laws under con-
sideration are the Hours Of Service
Law" for railroad employees i'm the
state of Washington, the Missouri
antitrust laws; the North Dakota
drainage law; the Kansas black
powder law; the New York trans
fer tax law: the Montana law taxing
hand laundries; the North Carolina
law regulating the receipt Of goods by
railroads; and the Arkansas law, re-
quiring railroads to pay within thirty
days claims for live stock killed by
trains.
Several general questions of law
may be decided, such as the validity
Of the transfer of allotted lands by
thousands of oklahoma Indians, and
the liability of insurance companies
for policies on the lives Of men exc
cutod for murder. The latter point
arose in the case of Samuel ]. Nc
cue. mayor of Charlottesville. Va,
who was executed in 1905 for the
murder Of his wife.
