Disappointment to Northwest.

Northwest. according to f. T. Jeffery.
chairman Of the board OF directors of
the Denver e Rio Grande.
Those roads had every reason TO be
lleve." said Mr.. Jeffery, that the Su-
preme Court would sustain their conten-
tons that the rates sought TO be forced
upon them by the State OF Minnesota
were non-compensatory which was held
To be the case only so far as the Mime
sofa d st. Louis was concerned. but not
for the larger and more important Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads.
But this was the determination of a ques-
ton OF fact and not the determination
OF judicial question.
Aside from the disappointment only
naturally felt by representatives of the So
called Hin interests. II may be said on
the whole that the supreme Court unani-
nuously reafiirms. makes palmer and puts
I'm more compact and conclusive form
certain we'll known principles regulating
transportation companies that have pre-
vailed in this country since the organiZa-
ton OF either state or interstate commerce
commissions.
ION the whole. after the first feeling of
disappointment passes away and further
careful study is given to the decision IL
will probably be found that the relations
OF the carriers TO the public and to the
government are more clearly defined than
heretofore.
ITO summarize, the court reafflrms, first.
the doctrine heretofore reaflrmed by them
that railroad companies arc entitled to a
reasonable return upon their property ;
second. that any tariff of rates that does
not enable the carriers to obtain that re-
turn upon their property is unlawful. and
carriers may contest the same In the
courts OF the country; third that where
there is a conflict between state and inter
state rates that interstate rates are su-
prems; fourth. that Congress. through

From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. June 10-The validity of
the newspaper publicity law attached as
a rider to the Postofice appropriation
bill OF last year was upheld by the SUI
preme Court Of the United States to-day
in a decision in the suits brought by the
Lewis Publishing Company and The
Journal OF Commerce and Commercial
Bulletin"
The court held that the provisions ~
the law only affix additional conditions
for admission TO a privileged class OF
mail. The contentious that the law IN
fringed on the freedom Of the press
rested on the alleged illegality Of the con-
ditons imposed in return for the right TO
enjoy the privileges and advantages OF
second class mail classification, and these
conditions. the court held. were not In
conflict with the Constitution. The power
Of Congress 20 impose the restrictions
provided by the law as a condition for
admission to the second class mail privi-
lege is upheld
The law. Chief Justice White said, lid
not deny papers not complying with It's
provisions the use OF the mails, but
merely the privilege OF being classified
as second class matter

Requirements Of tho Law.

The so-called publicity law. the opera
ton OF which had been suspended by a
preliminary injunction issued by the
court, requires semi-annual sworn state
ments giving the names OF editors
stockholders. bondholders and the aver
age daily circulation. All advertising
matter must be so marked under penalty
Of a fine.
The court declared that the requirement
that newspapers should disclose their
true owners was in line with the great
public purpose which induced Congress TO
continue IN favor OF the publishers OF
newspapers, al vast public expense. the
low postal rate as well as other privileges
accorded by the second class mail classi-
fcatiou."
Speaking particularly OF the clause re-
curing the marking Of paid-tor articles
as advertising, Chief Justice White said
that this requirement was cognate with
the policy OF the government from LIST
foundation TO make the expenditure Of
vast Gums TO afford low mail rates TO
newspapers bring some adequate returns

officials OF roads not parties to the 1T

the decision. Daniel +. Loree president
Of the Delaware & Hudson said.
The Supreme Court has pointed out
that the authority OF the United States may
be made as complete In rail transporta-
ton as IL is now in water transportation.
Practically no rate can be made by the
state that does not directly affect exist

court should give the railroads a means

Commission and resist all Interference

CITY DADS PUT
BAN ON ATHLETICS
NO MORE BASKETBALL
DRASTIC ACTION OF COUNCIL
MAGISTRATES CANCELING
HEAVY SCHEDULE.

BY a vote of to /, the city council
last night passed resolution pro-
hibiting further athletic contests be-
ing held in the Armory A number
of those who petitioned the council to
suppress the contests were present
and presented their reasons for so
doing. They stated that the noise
made by the ''rooters" was almost in
tolerabe when the contests were held,
and that some of the athletes were
violating the laws of decency.
When the roll was called Aldermen
McCulloch, Robbins, Hairston, Bark
er, Donnell and Mayor Duncan voted
in favor of the resolution, while AL
derman Meadors cast the only dis
senting ballot.
This action of the council will be a
death blow to basketball in Conway,
as there is no other indoor court
available. A heavy schedule had been
arranged by the athletic directors of
the various institutions of the city.
but these games will necessarily have
to be cancelled,
Only five of the nine City Basket
ball League games have been played,
and the managers of the teams have
not yet decided whether the remain
ing games will be played or not. If
they are played outdoor courts will
be used,
Coach Wilson of Hendrix had
scheduled series of three games
each with Henderson Brown College.
Ouachita College and Stuttgart High
School, but it is hot thought these
games will be played, since the city
fathers have seen fit to not allow the
use of the Armory as a basketball
court.
Local basketball enthusiasts are
very much wrought up over the ac-
ton of the council.

Realty Company and the Monte Carlo
Hat Company,
The damage to the Gleason hotel
could not be estimated early this
morning, but was insured at 10000
with an additional rent insurance pol
icy for $4,000, T. P. Murrey, lessee of
the hotel carried $11,125 insurance on
his hotel furniture.
At 6 o'clock the fire was under con
troll and it was hoped the Gleason no
tel could escape at less than half loss.
The Auten building was to have
been torn down within a short time to
make room for a handsome lG.story
office building.
The occupants of the Gleason hotel
fled in panic when the fire broke
out. Some of them fled in scanty at
tire, but it is believed that most of
them saved their belongings.
Although the cause of the fire prob
ably never may be known, there Is no
doubt the blaze originated on the
stage of the Capitol theater Appa-
rently the flames spread quickly
through the canvas scenery and dry
woodwork on the stage and gained
frightful headway before being dis
covered.
