EFFECT FAR
REACHING
State Can't Refuse to Enfsrce
Judgments
That Have Been Passed by
Courts Of Other States
In Regard to the Liabilities Of
Stockholders For Debts

Washington, April LA far reach
ing principle of law was decided to-
day when the supreme court held that
one state could not refuse to enforce
the judgments of another state in
regard to the liability of stockholders
for corporation debts.
The decision was announced by
Justice Vandevanter in the case of
Theodore r. Converse, receiver of the
Minnesota Tnresner Mfg. Co. a Min
.nesota corporation against Carolin A.
Hamilton, a stockholder in the COM
pany, but resident of wisconsin.
The Minnesota court issued an order
assessing the stockholders Of the COM
pany 100 per cent on their holdings to
meet the debts of the corporation.
When the attempt was made to collect
on this order the wisconsin courts
held the Minnesota order was not sucn
a Judgment as the federal constitu-
ton required to be given in another
state for full faith and credit" be-
cause the Minnesota court had no
jurisdiction over the Wisconsin stock
holder. This holding was reversed to-
day.

GOVERNORS
PROTEST TO
HIGH COURT
Against Proposition to Strike
Down State Rates
Minnesota Rate Case w.
Taken as 4 Text
Governors Of Three States Unite
in the Appeal

Washington, April 1.-The governors
of three states, as body, today filed
their solemn protest with the supreme
court of the United States against the
proposition to strike down state rail-
road rates as interfering with inter-
state commerce. They respectfully
called upon the bench, having in "es-
pecial charge the government of the
union to see that the boundaries Of
the states remain. 1t was the first
time in the history of the nation that
such q protest had been made.
The protest took the nature of a
brief, fled as friends Of the court" by
committee of governors, Judson Har-
mon, of Ohio; Herbert S. Hadley, of
Missouri and Charles H Aldrich, Of
Nebraska. This committee was se-
lected at a conference of governors last
September The brief was submitted
in connection with the state rate
cases" set for oral argument today.
The brief was of peculiar interest
coming so soon after the most recent
decision of the interstate commerce
commission that railroads submitting
to low state rates, must give similar
rates on Interstate business.
Because the federal circuit court in
the Minnesota freight and passenger
rate cases held the rates invalid not
only as confiscatory but by reason
of their effect on interstate commerce,
that case was taken as the next for
the governors protest. 1t was de-
clared that what was said went direct-
" TO the right Of every, state to regu-
late commerce. and was designed par
tieularly to be applicable to the Min
.nesota, Missouri, Oregon, Kentucky,
Ohio, Arkansas and West Virginia rate
cases before the court. The govern
ors had nothing to say about the con-
fiscatory nature of the rates, but con-
fined themselves to the interstate
phase, of the question.

vicious as to kill cattle of all
sizes. 1t is reported they are
doing considerable damage to
grown cattle this winter
whereas other years they have
given bnt little trouble and
when they have shown any
disposition to do damage to
stock they have attacked
calves only. Evidently they
ale becoming more numerous
as they are doing considerable
more damage this winter,
Several requests have been
made by the stock owners to
get state aid in doing away
