GOVERNMENT MET
DEFEAT IN COURT.
SUPREME COURT iNTIMATES
ovERSTEPPlNG OF AUTHORITY
COMMISSION is SCORED TOO.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The govern
ment, on behalf of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, met defeat at
the hands of the supreme court of the
United States in its attempt to estaD-
lish in the commission a right to
make rates without substantial evil
dence being presented at a hearing
to show the unreasonableness Of
rates about to be replaced.
At the same time railroads of the
county won an important point when
the court decided that in making
rates the commission could not rely
upon information gathered in inves.
LEGATIONS by the commission, but must
base them upon evidence presented
at a hearing where the railroads
would have an opportunity to pre-
sent its side of the controversy.
In thus limiting the power of the
commission the court declared that
the question of whether any substan-
tial evidence had been presented in
a case was one of law for the cour.s,
such as the commerce court, to re-
view and was not intrusted eXclus-
lively to the commission.
Justice Lamar announced the
courts decision in a case involving
the validity of an order reducing class
rates from New Orleans to Alabama
cities.
Hepburn Law Provisions.
He quoted the governments posi-
ton that the Hepburn law in provid
ing that rates should be set a2iie,
if, after hearing the commission
should be of the opinion that the
charge was unreasonable, mean. thai
the commissions findings as 10 un
reasonableness of rates was NOT Sub
ject to review by the courts.
The justice in reply, pointed to
that clause in the law which required
full hearing to be accorded and
to the universal course of decisions
in this country that an admini5tra-
tive order by the government was rold
if issued without a hearing or il the
hearing was inadequate or unfair.
Quoting the governments further
contention that congress required the
commission to obtain information to
enable it to perform its duties and
that therefore VIXEN it issued an or
der it was presumed to have informa-
tion to support it's findings, the JUS
tice said
Unfair Position Alleged.
"Such construction would nullifv
the right for a harrington manifest
ly there is no hearing when the par
ty does not know what evidence Is
offered or considered or is not given
an opportunity to test or explain or
repudiate it. The information gath
cred may be used as the basis for in
stituting prosecutions for violations
of the law and for many other purpos-
es, but is not available as such in
cases where the parties are entitled
to hearing"
The case involved a contest be-
tween the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the commerce court. 1t
also attracted attention because 4
letter concerning the case, bearing
name of former Judge Archibald, then
of the commerce court, and written
to a railway attorney at the time the
judge was preparing the courts opin-
ion, was made the basis of one of the
charges in the impeachment proceed
ings against him.

WANTS To KNOW
Ex-MayOr Billiard Rises to In
quire of Porter
About Additional Expenses of
His Department.

J. B. Billiard. ex-mayor of Topeka,
wants to know why Park Com
na missioner Porter Porte tells tells What S he's he's
saved anything; why the crema-
tory needs three bosses and two
subordinates, and why Mayor Cofran
promised to keep the law, and doesn't.
Mr. Billiard writes the State Journal
as follows:
"a few days ago Mr.. Porter gave
an estimate of the great savings that
were to be made in his department by
his assistant, Mr.. Snyder. Will he
please explain why an assistant was
needed to tell him where the savings
could be made? Is he not competent
to do that himself? Is not that part
of his duties? What is he going to
give the city in return for Mr.. Snyder's
$500 salary?
"Of course the office of assistant
park commissioner was created solely
for Mr.. Snyder. He did faithful and
efficient political work in the cam
paign on behalf of Messrs. Cofran,
Newland and Porter. What surprises
me is that Commissioners Bone and
Tandy, who have ably guarded the in
terests of the city during the last three
years, should assist in such a scheme.
would it not be wise for Mr.. Por-
ter to wait till the end of the year."
continued Mr.. Billiard, ''and tell the
people what he has saved, instead Of
telling them what he intends to save?
HE says he is going to have the
sanitary sergeant keep the books and
save the salary Of a bookkeeper. The
sergeant is already a very busy man.
He is often at the telephone all day
answering calls. He directs the, out
side work of the sanitary department.
Add to this the keeping of books for
the crematory, the parks and the
sanitary board 1t is impossible for
any one person to do 1t.
''Ir Porter is going to lay off two
men from the force collecting garbage.
That cannot be done without Gripping
the service. The wagons are already

should be added instead of eliminated. |
If the service is made poorer, it might !
as we'll be abandoned, and the crema- |
tory closed.
I'm the operation of the crematory,'
added the ex-nIayor, sarcaStically, /
Mr. Porter's saving is already appar- i
ent. He has actually dispensed with |
the superintendent which saves the
city $65 per month. True, he has re-
placed him with a foreman at the
same salary. The operating force for
merly consisted of a superintendent
and two stokers or laborers. Now it
foreman and two stokers-four men
instead of two; two bosses and two
workers. besides Park Commissioner
Porter who will boss the other two
posses. Under such wise management
he crematory should be operated sue
,essfully and the two stokers should
'eceive plenty of supervision"
Mr.. Billiard expressed himself as
surprised at the statement made by
Mayor Cofran relating to removal of
,ity employees under civil service.

Parkhurst concert series on May g..
Mr.. Werrenraths career, it is said, is
a forceful demonstration of the sue
cess a singer can achieve who invar-
iably wins the spontaneous applause
of discriminating listeners, and appro-
baton from the best authorized
judges. Youthful in years, but mature
in voice and artistry, he gratifies the
most fastidious connoisseurs in his au-
dience, while musical critics agree he
is Americas foremost young baritone.
The New York Evening Post says of
him, Good baritones may not be
quite as rare as good tenors, but when
one turns up gifted with as many ad-
mirable qualifications as the young
Reinald Werrenrath there
ought surely be much cause for con-
graduation
