 Decision.
ROADS MUST ACCEPT GOODS
Carriers Had Refused to Carry Goods Into Dry Territory-Commis-
 sion Is Censured.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-Liquor interests won a far-reaching victory in the supreme court by a decision that railroads must carry beer into dry counties" of another state. The decision af- fected particularly shipments from h. diana into Kentucky.
 Justice Lurton, who announced the courts decision. also laid down some limitations on the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission. He upheld the action of shippers in going before judicial tribunals to test the validity of laws, instead of going to the commission. e He said the com- mission had jurisdiction over admin istrative questions and matters of fact, but the courts over questions of general law.
 Justice Lurton declared decisions of the supreme court had "undisputa- bly," determined:
 That beer and other intoxicating liquors are the recognized and legiti- mate subjects of interstate commerce..
 That no state can forbid any com mon carrier to transport such articles from a consignor in one state to a consignee in another.
 That until such transportation is concluded by delivery to the consig- nee such commodities do not become subject to state regulation restrain- ing their sale or disposition He explained that the Wilson act. | which subjected such liquors to state regulations although the liquor still was in the original packages. did not apply before actual delivery to. the consignee where the shipment was in- terstate.
