that the rates were cOnfiScatOry of the railroads property and therefore unconstitutional, but he declined to hold that they interfered with inter- state commerce. Both the railroads and the state apealed to the supreme court, bringing in all thirty-six Mis- souri cases. Two cases growing out of the Burlington suit were pre- scented to the court in October, 1910, but they were restored to the docket for argument with the other Missouri cases in April, 1912. The state pro tested that Judge McPherson should not have apportioned expenses, as be- tween state and interstate business on revenue basis, but rather on a car-mile. or ton-mi1e basis.
 The Minnesota rate cases arose out of suits by stockholders of the North ern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Minneapolis & St. Louis rail- roads against the companies to en- join them from obeying the max imum freight and 2-cent passenger laws as unconstitutional, and against the state officials to enjoin them from enforcing the laws.

 In the Missouri cases, however, the state and the railroads had agreed upon the valuation of the railroads, upon which the percentage of income from rates was to be figured. No such agreement was reached in the Minnesota cases, and a bitter contest arose over the holding of Judge San born that the fair valuation of a rail- road property was it's cost of repro duction new"

it did not embrace a claim of confis- cation. Points raised were that the rates laid an improper burden upon interstate commerce, and that the Me Chord act authorizing the state rail road commission to fix reasonable rates was unconstitutional. Judges Warrington. Denison and Sanford of the United States circuit court for eastern Kentucky upheld the McChord act and the rates in question.
 In the Oregon cases. it was claimed that there was interference with i'm terState commerce. The Oregon Rail road & Navigation company claimed that the state railroad commission in reducing the state freight rates from Portland to eastern Oregon cities eff fected a reduction of interstate rates to those cities, because the state rates were used as a basis for the inter- state rates. A similar claim was made by the Southern Pacific company as to rates along it's line. The United States circuit court for Oregon upheld the rates. An attack was also made upon the cOnStitutiOnality of the law creating the Oregon railroad commits sion. That, too, was upheld by the lower court.
 In the Arkansas cases. brought by the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & South ern railway and by the St. Louis Southwestern railway, the United States circuit court for eastern Ar kansas held that the maximum freight rate orders and the 2-cent passenger fare law were unconstitutional be- cause they were confiscatory.
 The West Virginia case arose out of suit by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway company to test the validity of the 2-cent passenger law The supreme court of West Virginia up held the law

RUNS DOWN TWO WOLVES.

A motorcycle was the means of say ing the lives of a drove of valuable colts owned by Harley Burch, ranch CT near Tribune. Kas. One by one MT. Burch noticed his colts disappearing. He didn't know the cause until one day he saw wolf chasing one of the colts over the ranch. He immediately jumped on his motorcycle and started after the animal which he succeeded in killing. A few days later he ran down it's mate, also with his motor cycle.

r LOS ANGELES. June 9-It required ten innings for the Venice Tigers to dispose of the Sacramento Wolves to- r1ay, although the Tigers had a 6-run Dead early in the game. It was d post Iponed game replete with everything except sensational playing. It also marked the re-entry into the Coast league of Al Klawitter, formerly Of Portland and later of the Detroit Americans, who was responsible for the long lead gained by the Tigers. Jack Lively, who succeeded him in the fifth, gave Carlisle a pass in the tenth, Hallinan threw Mclean out on a sacrifice and Tenant threw the ball into the left field trying to catch Car Iisle off second, and Carlisle scored the winning run. Hardness was hit hard and gave way to Ferguson in the seventh The only features were the base running of Mclean, who stole home, and Shinn, who scored from sec ond on an infield out, with the tying

 SAN FRANCISCO. June 9.-Ac- cording to the official position of the coast league standing, Los Angeles appears to be running away from the entire field Last week the Ser aphS took five out of seven games played in d series with Sacramento. This places the Angels five and one half games ahead of the Oakland team which is itself second on the list
 The Angels are playing a fine quality of ball and for the past several weeks have been steadily on the improve. Local critics attribute their lead to the excellent team work of the club.
 Oakland is holding it's own. The Trans-Bay team played Portland last week in the north and though they got off weak the first of the series the Oakland tossers finished strong. Ables, the star pitcher who has just returned to the team after having been i'll, promises to be in form shortly.
 San Francisco is the only other club outside of Los Angeles that has displayed speed during the series of the past week. It took five out of seven games with Venice and is now in third position. The Seals are only three games behind the Oaks
 Venice was badly crippled in the infield last week and Brashear on second base was shifted to first. Lit sipi on third was shifted to short stop. This is due to the illness of Hosp and Patterson. While every body was expecting the Commanders 10 show better class they have failed so far to come up to expectations They are still in the next to the last place and in the series last week with the Oaks made a poor showing
 Sacramento is still in the cellar

Washington, ID. C.-Duluth won
a substantial portion of it's freight
rate fight before the interstate COM

of class rates to that point from
present rate were held to be discrim-
inatory. Duluth's contention that
rates on lake and rail traffic from
the east ought 10 "break" at its
%wharVeS, however, was not sustain

In brief the commission held that
present rail and lake class rates to
Duluth from points east of the lndi-
ana-lllinois state line are %unreason-
able; that the existing scale OF
through rail-and-lake class rates to
Duluth are unduly discriminatory as
compared with the rates to Chicago.
They ordered the first class rate from
the east to Duluth not to exceed 81
cents per hundred pounds and the
rates from the trunk line territory to
Duluth, rail and lake, not to exceed
those to Chicago. The commission
held the contention that Duluth class
rates ON rail and lake traffic ought
to "break" at its wharfs instead of
the Twin Cities, not sustained.
The roads were ordered to submit
a tariff by October /, containing the
changes directed and also providing
for the discontinuance of discrimina.

UNSCRAMBL|NG
Of BIG TRUSTS DONE
OVER SECOND Time
A%ttorney-G General Nc
Reynolds Considers
Two Monopolies.
PLAN BY CUMMlNS
To Give Government Appeal
From Dissolution of Oil
and Tobacco Trusts.

Washington, ID. C,-Auorney.Gen-
eral McReynolds is still considering
the dissolution of the Standard Oil
and tobacco trusts to determine
whether further steps should be TAX
en- by the federal government to pro
mote real and free competition,
which it is alleged does not exist in
those industries under present con
ditiOnS.
In the tobacco case the Attorney
General is giving serious thought to
the bill introduced by Senator Cum
minis directing the Department OF
Justice TO appeal to the supreme
court from the decree of dissolution
entered by the circuit court for the
Southern District of New York, No
vemher 16, 1911, and also authoriz.
ing independent tobacco manufac-
turerS and others to intervene in
the case to object to the DEGREES. +.
III. Levy, who represented indLend-
ents when they uns%uccessfully sought
to intervene before the final entry OF
the decree, has filed with the depart
ment Il digest of the situation and an
argument in favor of the legality OF
the proposed law. This is now un
der consideration and the Attorney
General is expected to give his opin-
ion TO the Senate committee on Judi.
ciary, to which the Cummins Bill
has been referred.
The government under the present
statute had sixty days in which tc
appeal to the supreme court from the
New York courts decree ~dissolvine
the tobacco trust, but former Attor-
ney General Wickersham agreed tC
the decree and did lot appeal. 1t has
been suggested that since the gov
eminent did not avail itself of the
right to appeal within the time limit
the tobacco interests We're entitled To
regard the decree as a final determin,
alton of the issues and the govern
ment should not attempt to undo il
after the expiration of nearly two
years. However. the Attorney Gen.
erai, who regards the decree as d
"mere subterfuge,'' is g:ving tho
Cummins Bill consideration as {
possible way to cure alleged non
competitive evils.
In the Standard Oil case the AT
torney General is continuing his
study OF the report OF Charles b
Morrison and Oliver Il. Pagan, the
government attorneys who investi
gated the question of whether the
decree OF dissolution is being violat
ed. A conclusion has not yet beel
reached. The oil interests maintain
they are complying With the decree
