MINNESOTA WINNER IN
BIG STATE RIGHT SUIT
United States Supreme Court Gives
Right to Limit Rail Charaes-Fa-
vors Two-cent Fare.

Washington, June 1.-THE power
of the states to fix reasonable intra-
state rates on interstate railroads, uu-
til such time as congress shall choose,
to regulate these rates, was upheld
by the Supreme court of the United
States in the Minnesota freight and
passenger rate cases Monday.
At the same time the court laid
down far-reaching principles govern.
ing the valuation of railroad property
for rate making purposes and, accord
ing to these, held that the state of
Minnesota would confiscate the prop
erty of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Railroad company by it's maximum
freight and two-cent passenger fare
law. 1t enjoined the state from en-
forcing these laws as to this road fol-
the present.
The so-called Estate rate" cases have
presented to the Supreme court one %
the momentous problems of the dec
ade.
In general terms, this group of cases
called upon the court to decide two
questions One was whether the states
in passing maximum freight and two
cent passenger laws had unduly inter
tered with interstate commerce. The
other was whether those laws confis-
Gated the property of the railroads by
requiring them to transact business az
q loss.
The group consisted OF As cases. All
arose out of legislation enacted by
state legislature about 1907, or just
after the federal government had
passed the Hepburn rate law. The 40
cases concerned directly the laws in
six states Missouri Minnesota, Ken
lucky, Oregon, Arkansas and West Vir.
ginia. Similar litigation arose in Ala
bama, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Okla
homa and South Dakota. In all, 1t was
said that 76 suits in federal courts de-
pended upon the decision in the 40
cases before the Supreme court.

CHARLETON MUST FACE
THE COURT OF ITALY
Supreme Court Decides Extradition
Case Against American-News-
paper Publicity Law Upheld.

Washington, June 12.-The United
States Supreme court decided Tuesday
that Porter Charlton must be returned
to Italy to stand trial for the alleged
Staying of his wife In June, 1910.
Justice Lurton, who read the opin-
ion, gave most of his time to the main
point in the case-whether, under the
treaty of 1868, an American citizen
could be extradited to Italy for
crime committed there, particularly
since Italy will not extradite its sub
iects for crimes here.
The justice held that, according to
international law, the treaty by rea-
son of Italy's course bad net become
void, but merely voidabie st the opin-
ion of the American government. The
executive department having waived
its right to annul the treaty, nothing
remained for the court to do but to
enforce its decision.
Charlton has been aNprisoner In the
Hudson county, New Jersey, jail near
ly three years, while the fight for his
extradition has been going on. The
Supreme courts decision a1f1rms the
action of former Secretary Knox, who
determined to turn Charlton over to
Italy. The prisoner now probably will
be turned over to Italian authorities
after the observance of few formal
ties.
The killing Of Mrs. Porter Charlton
stirred Europe and America as have
few murders of recent years. With
the discovery of her body stuffed into
a trunk and sunk in Lake Como.
where she had been with her husband
to spend her honeymoon, both CONT
nents turned to search for the muir
derer.
Tie Supreme court upheld the con-
stitutionality of the newspaper pub
licity law enacted as a part of the pos
tai appropriation act of 1912.

RATE REDUCTION is DELAYED
Companies Require More Time and
Are Granted Extension by State
Railroad Commission.

Milwaukee.-TheM Merchants & Man
ufacturers' association has been noti-
fed that the reduction in express rates
will not go into effect until July Is.
instead of June 10.
The express companies, it is claim
ed, required more time to change
their schedules, so as to make the new
rates go into effect simultaneously in
all parts of the state. The commits
sion satisfied itself on this point and
granted the extension of time. The
new order will necessitate the COM
pilation and printing of an entire Sc
ries of tariffs and the distribution of
same to express agents at every sta
ton.
The decision in the action brought
by the Merchants and Manufacturers
association on Dec. 20, 1909, against
all express companies operating In
the state was rendered on May 20,
1918, by the railroad commission.

could save the $S2,000,000 invested"
said he. I'VE propose to keep some

as the right of free speech exists

lou, who had been frequently men
toned by senator's as one of the anti
free sugar men" who had called on
them, was paid a salary OF $4,000 a
year to stay in Washington and look
after Hawaiian commercial interests.
Carter said he came to Washington
Ito give information about sugar;
that he had been sent by the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce, and was serv-
ing without remuneration. He said
he maintained offices, with stenog-
rapher and clerk. from which news
paper advertisements and bulletins"
were prepared and submitted TO a
committee in New York representing
Hawaiian sugar factories.
AS for himself, Carter said he had
done little more in Washington than

The casualties are regarded as few

tee on foreign affairs OF the house,
according to announcement of Repre-
sentative Henry D. Flood, chairman,
Tuesday investigated the seizure by
Japan of the American yacht Column
bfa in the port of Wakayama. If adj
vices to the state department show
that J. Harvey Ladew, its owner. has
been treated unfairly. Flood said he
would call on the state department
for all the particulars of the case,
after which he would lay it before his
committee
In no event will Japan be allowed to
confiscate the yacht, said Flood, with
out an investigation by congress and
the state department. Flood indicat-
ed that the incident might have an i'm
pc taut effect on the framing of any
new treaties with Japan. The effect
of 1t would be, in his opinion, to turn
public opinion in the United States
strongly against any further conces-
sions TO the Japanese.
