woman to an extent which he perhaps
appreciates better than she. and being
more domestic by nature than woman,

MANY IMPORTANT
DECISIONS Will
Be HANDED down
Supreme Court viii Convene
After lis Holiday Recess
Validity Of Several federal
Laws May Be Determined
(By Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-With more
than 100 cases under consideration.
the supreme court OF the United
States is expected to hand down many
important decisions Tuesday, when
it probably will announce opinions
after the holiday recess. The court
will probably adjourn today immedi-
ately after convening because OF the
funeral of the wife of Justice Day.
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 anthracite
coal.carrying railroads and coal-pro-
ducing companies of Pennsylvania;
and the cotton corner" case, arising
out of transactions on the New York
cotton 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 Feb 'uary. A
second decision may be rendered re-
garding the validity of the Gar
mack amendment to the interstate
commerce laws, whereby initial car
riers were made liable for damages
or loss of goods whether occurring
on their lines or those of connecting
carriers.
The fate of a score or more of
state laws may be decided. OF these,
the constitutionality of the Oregon
initiative and referendum system has
attracted 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 in the
state of Washington; the Missouri
antitrust law; the North Dakota
drainage law; the Kansas "black
powder" law; the New York transfer
tax law; the Montana law taxing hand
the North Carolina law reg
ulating the receipt of goods by rail-
roads; and the Arkansas law, requir-
ing railroads to pay within 30 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 ex-
ecuted for murder. The latter point
arose in the case of Samuel J. McCue,
mayor of Charlottesville, Va, who
was executed in 1905 for the murder
Of his wife.
