JURISDICTION IS
NOT ABSOLUTE
Commerce Courts Has a
Right to Examine That
There Was no Relevant
Evidence Presented to the
Commission Upon Which
it Could Haye Based an
Order.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 2o.-Government
on behalf of the Interstate Commerce
Commission today met defeat in the
United States supreme court in its at
tempt to establish in the commission
the right to make rates without sub
stantial evidence being presented at u
hearing to show the unreasonableness
Of the rates about to be replaced.
The railroads OF the country also
won an important point at the same
time the court decided that in making
rates the commission could not rely
upon evidence presented at q hearing
where the railroads would have no
opportunity to present its side Of the
controversy.
The theory advanced by the govern
ment that the Interstate Commerca
Commission has absolute jurisdiction
over evidence in rate cases to the ex-
clusion of the courts, particularly the
commerce court, was struck down by
the supreme court in deciding that the
commerce court had a right to ex-
anime claim that there was no rele-
want evidence presented to the COM
mission upon which it could have
based Its order in this case.
Justice Lamar in announcing the
opinion said an examination of the
statutes showed that in a case where
an unfair hearing had been granted
by the commission or where no sub
stantial evidence had been put into the
record, the courts could review the
commissions order and evidence.
Having held that the commerce
court could review the order in this
case to see If any substantial evil
dence had been produced, the supreme
court decided, however, the commerce
court had erected in finding none had
been presented.
The case involved a contest between
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the commerce court. It also at
tracted attention because a letter con-
cerning the case, bearing the name Of
Former Judge Archibald, then of the
commerce court and written to a rail-
road attorney at the time the judge
was preparing the courts opinion, was
made the basis for one of the charges
in the impeachment proceedings
against him.

Legislature Designed to
Put an End to Trusts and
Monopolies and the Gov

Accomplish That Much
Desired Result.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Trenton, Jan. 20.-President- elect
Wilson today reached what he con-
siders the climax of his program Of
reform as governor of New Jersey.
Seven bills making for the most ex-
tensive revision of the corporation
laws in the history of the state were
introduced tonight in the state legis-
lature.
These acts design to put an end to
trusts and monopolies under the law
in New Jersey" said the governor in
a prepared statement, "and conf
IDENTITY predict that they will accom-
plish that much desired result" The
principle bills are ones which the gov
ernor emphasized in the national cam
pa1gn, but he said tonight that nation
al legislation might have to be differ
ent,
The first of these bills provides for
a punishment not exceeding three
years imprisonment and 81 900 fine for
any corporations, firms or individuals
who may agree to any Of the follow
ing:
To limit production, or increase
prices; to prevent competition in MAN
.ufacturing transporting or selling any
commodity; to fix any standard or f1g-
ure whereby prices to the public shall
in any manner be controlled; to make
any agreement which shall directly OF
Indirectly preclude a free and unre-
stricted competition among themselves,
or any purchasers, or consumers; to
make any secret oral agreement
whereby the same thing is accom-
plished.
The other bills rule that corpora
tions shall not issue stock upon fic-
titious values of property, but must
make "a fair bona fide valuation" pro-
vide punishment by fine and imprison-
ment for those who organize a corpor-
alton in restraint Of trade; prohibit
holding companies; and prevent merg-
ed companies from acquiring stock OF
other corporations.
1t is also provided that the consent
of the public utility commission must
be procured when two or more cor
porations want to merge and there Is
a prohibition against improper dis
elimination by corporations in prices
of commodities in different communi-
ties.

Toilette, the conference report on the

cause Of clause which It was claimed
would exclude a majority Of Jew immi-
grants from Russia and Roumania At
the request Of Senator Lodge the bill
went back to conference, which will be
asked to eliminate that feature.
Rules and regulations in the senate

built up and engrafted upon by prece-
Cent as to put the legislation of this
congress in the hands of a few men,"
declared Senator La Toilette in the
senate today, speaking against the
conference report on the immigrstion
bill.
Il hope the time is coming when
these two bodies will be made more
democratic and more responsive to the
public WILL he added.
Senator La Toilette attacked the
clause put into the bill by the confer

might be debarred from the United
States unless they brought certificates
of character, when their native court
had a law authorizing such certificates.
He declared that conference commit

London, Jan. 20.-A determination
to prevent Turkey from postponing a
settlement of the war more than
week longer was manifested by the
Balkan peace delegates here today
who will insist on final reply by
Turkey to the note of the powers by
that time and If not favorable hostili-
ties are expected to be resumed.
Full power to declare the resump-
ton Of hostilit1es against Turkey was
telegraphed today to DR.. S. Daneff.
leader of the Bulgarian delegation and
his colleagues by the Bulgarian pre-
mier, ]. s. Cuechoff, who told them
to exercise it whenever in their opin-
ion further peace negotiations became
useless.
Representatives of the Balkan allies
will therefore directly notify General
Savoff. Bulgarian chief
that the armistlce has come to an end
as soon as it becomes apparent that
there is no hope of the peace pleni-
potentiaries reaching a mutually sat
isfactory arrangement, Hostilities will
then be begun four days afterward.
The Bulgarians have discovered
they were completely misled in regard
to conditions prevailing in the be-
Ieaguered Turkish fortress Of Adrian
ople and have consequently decided a
prompt change in their policy is nee
essary. Two weeks ago they were in
formed that the fall of the fortress
could be expected hourly but a recent
council Of war held at Mustapha Pasha
under the presidency of King Ferdi-
nand, came to theRa conclusion that
Shukri Pasha, Turkish commander in
Adrianople, had economical supplies in
the fortress to such an extent that the
garrison would be able to resist per-
haps for several months more.

Each Claimed the Right to
Preside Over the Session
and Speaker Throws
Speaker Pro TEN From the
. Chair-The Election of a
United States Senator is at
Stake.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 20.-Rioting
occurred in the house of representa-
tiNss Of the wyoming legislature today
when Speaker Pratt and Speaker Pro
Tempore Wood both claimed the right
to preside. A violent fght, which was
interrupted by members was partici-
pated In by the two men. The struggle
continued for three-quarters of an hour
and embraced two encounters between
the men.
The immediate cause OF the trouble
was an attempt by Speaker Pratt to
call 70 the chair +. C. Hunter. a repub-
lean, An appeal had been taken from
the speakers ruling against an offer
by the democrats of substitute COM
mfttees for those he had submitted and
which he himself held the balance of
power, upon rules and elections. The
latter committee is to pass on the right
of three republicans to hold their seats.
On the outcome of these contests de-
pends largely Senator Warren's chances

to Hunter taking the chair, saying the
speaker pro tempore only had the
right. Wood took the chair, but Pratt
vent to the platform and threw him on
the floor. Trouble then started be-
tween the factions in the legislature,
cne man being kicked in the stomach.
Owing TO the trouble the house ad-
5ourned until tomorrow without taking
action on Pratt's committees.
The situation was ended when cool
headed leaders Of either faction an
nounced an agreement to let the ques-
ton OF authority rest until afternoon.
With Wood sitting in the speakers
chair and Pratt welding the gavel, the
show of authority seemed about equal.
