From The Tribune bureau
Washington. April 15.-Has the SUI
preme Court OF the United States 'hung
itself on the Minnesota rate case ana IS
that the reason the decision in this all
important case. which was argued year
ago last October. is so long deferred?
Those who have been looking for de-
cision every decision Monday for
weeks have been searching the situation
for the reason Of the delay. and as a
result OF their consideration this inter
esting suggestion is made
While tie vote I'm the fun court OF
nine members would obviously he i'm
possible. it is believed that Justice Van
Devantcr has excused himself from this
case because of the fact that he passed
on the Missouri rate case. which has now
been merged with the Minnesota case.
This would leave only eight justices 10

in which the court might easily find itself
tied. four justices voting TO uphold the
state law AMI four TO declare II uncon-

Tho possibility or such a situation is
further increased by the fact that a most
intricate problem - involved i'm the
merged cases. There were originally nine
suits I'm equity entered i'm the Circuit
Court FOR the District OF Minnesota. These
suits. which were brought by the stock
holders OF the nine principal railways,
sought to cnioin tho directors from obey

No Instance OF a Tie.

So Gar As can be learned THIS evening
there has never been am instance where
the Supreme Court of the United states
found itself evenly divided on case
although many fye-to-four decisions havr
been handed down. Ncither can any on"
be found willing 10 predict what would
be the outcome Of such a situation. l.
Is suggested. however. that "A determined
effort would be made by the members OF
the court TO conceal the fact. with the
hope that before it became known some
Justice could be won over 10 one side or
the other
Another hypothesis suggested as the
reason for the long DELAY IS that the court
may be making somewhat extensive in-
yestigations with view 10 determining
the physical valuation Of the roads H.
volved. i'm order that Just decision az
TO the alleged confiscatory character OF
the state laws may be determined. but TINS
Is regarded as hardly tenable because o.
the fact that the court had To pass on that
question in 1908. and IL must then have
acquired fairly comprehensive knowi-
edge OF that phase of the situation, AS It's
decision that the laws then In question
were conhscatory was upheld by eight ~

Quivering Last Appeal.

Then. with a culver in his voice.
Stilwell made his final appeal.
"The people of my district have con-

have honored me in various ways.

do. ask every Senator here to put him

what he'd want me to do for him. /
