Supreme Court Decides That They May Establish
 Them on Railroads Within Their Borders
UNTIL SUCH TIME AS CONGRESS INTERVIEWS
Important Decision Handed Down Minnesota Cases After Fourteen Months Consderaton-M Minnesota Laws De- cared be Con6scatory However, in Case of Minneap
 oils and St. Louis Road-Smiar Cases from Other States

and were unanimous in declaring It a great victory for the state.
 As a result of the decision several railroads operating iH Minnesota VIII pay into the state treasury approx : mately $3.000.000 in the shape of over- charges.
 The state legislature, taking cogniZ ance of the injunction proceedings brought to restrain Minnesota from putting into effect merchandise ana commodity freight rates promulgated by the railroad and warehouse com mission and approved by the two law making bodies, passed a law requiring all roads to keep books" covering all freight charges made and to file the same monthly with the state
 This was done to allow persons oyercharged to collect the difference should the state win. The reports de- manded began with June 1. 1909, and since then the railroad and warehouse commission has been receiving and filing them. They cover every ship ment in the state since the date named.
 In order that shippers might not be hampered by annoying litigation, the 1909 legislature in arranging for re- ports covering frieght shipments d'- rected that when the case was settled and if in favor of the state that the money in controversy should be turn ed over to the state and returned to persons overcharged. In order to 5e- cure reimbursement applications for oVercharges must be made within a year of the courts findings.
 While this law covers only freight charges. it is claimed that the state is in a position to exact the difference between two and three cents for pas sengers if persons having paid such rates can produce receipts. When in formed of the supreme courts de- cision, Governor Eberthard said:
 Tt is the best bit of news l have heard in 8 long time. It established what we have always contended: the right of the state to regulate within its confines.

 Attorney Generals View of It.
 Washington, June 9.-Summarizins 3 the decision of the supreme court or the United States in the Minnesota state rate case Attorney General MIG Reynolds tonight said:
 tThe court holds that congress, in the interstate commerce act, has not deprived the states of the right or fix ing maximum intrastate rates. They still have that power. In contest1ng rate fixed by the state on the ground that the rate is conflscatory, the de cision says that the burden of proof Of confiscation falls upon the railroad. The court found that the Minneapolis and St. Louis railroad had established that the rates affecting them were con- fscatory, but that the Northern Pa cific and Great Northern had failed in such proof

Allies Prepare
 for War Again
SITUATION IN THE BALKANS
 GROWS WORSE.
BULGARIANS HOLD KEY
All Depends on Their Answer to Servian Note-Buaaria Believed to Be Lack ing in the sinews of War.

London, June 10-With both sides stubbornly refusing to make the slightest concession war between the Balkan states is hourly becoming more imminent. If Bulgaria sends a nega- tive reply to the Servian note-and nothing indicates that she will answer otherwise -Servia and Greece will proclaim the annexation of the occu- pied Macedonian territories. thereby establishing a definite casus belli.
 One Hopeful Feature.
 The only hopeful feature of the sit uation consists in the belief that Bull garia is lacking the sinews of war. Servia and Greece are not only better situated in this respect but also occu- py superior strategical positions. These facts probably account for the calnness with which Servia apaPent- ly regards the prospects of war.
