ONE POOR ARGUMENT
 AGAINST FULL CREW BILL

The enemies of the Full Crew Bill evidently intend to rely for the defeat upon the circumstance that the Public Utilities commission has not been petition ed with respect order to increase train crews.
 The argument should be given little weight by the Railroad Committee The question is of broad policy, which more properly determined by the legislature than by any other The Full Crew Bills of other states have received consideration of legislatures and argument that public utilities commission had failed to act received as of trif1ing weight
 The legislature of New York state disposed of the the utilities commission ought to the matter, by passing full bill When Governor Sul signed the bill he said with respect to the public ut ties commission argument:
 'tIf the Public Utilities Commission has this it should have exercised it. yet it has exercised it but and then under protest it did order extra brakeman to be employed certain rail road.''
 This is the of the matter in Connecticut. The Public Utilities Commission has FAILED TO ORDER the train It has failed in the face of onmendation from the of Fairfield county after investigation into the railroad wreck at Westpor in which several were burned to death who MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED if there had been mem bers of the train to assist them.
 The matter tried to the railroad commission The commission gave adverse decision majority the members of the Public Utilities Commission the time members of the railroad commission. They are the persons. There is to suppose that their minds changed when they changed their jobs

HULL ON THE INCOME TAX.

Representative Hull of Tennessee author of the in tax section of the tariff b gave the faith that is hs in debate ill the House, Saturday He uttered the language of Democracy humanity and Chris tanity in sentiments not unfamiliar to the readers Farmer who know it's views upon tax equities robberies.
 Representative Hull declared that masses of the people paying most of the $12 100000 taxes well the great portion of the for the support states and municipalities view that ncontrovertble
 Mr. Hull spent few minutes in destroying the so- called sectiona argument against the income tax the argument upon which Congressman Ebenezer J. Hill re- lied during his term in offce to justify himself o- position to the income tax.

 This beautiful sophistry we'll ridded by Hull who replied that states do not taxes but pay them, that persons live in Connecticut than live in Wyoming and that these persons con- tariff taxed articles and pay more taxes t the government than the people of Wyoming pay.

DECISIONS OF SUPREME COURT
Ors Not Party to New Concern May Sue For Corporation Debts.

In a decision of momentouS import ance especially as to railroads, the su- preme court at Washington yesterday laid down the general principle that a creditor of a corporation, not 8 party to its reorganization may hold it's suc- ceSsor for his debt In this specific case, the court. five to four, in a de- cision which Justice Lurton, who dis sented with Justice White, Holmes and Vandeventer, declared was alarming held the Northern Pacific railway company responsible for a $125, 900 judgment against the Northern Pacific railroad company, to which 1t succeeded. despite the fact that the court expressly stated that no moral wrongdoing was to be found in the reorganization. The corporation law yers who heard the decision declared it was a direct blow at the practice of recognizing corporations to get rid Of onerouS contracts or escape payment to unsecured creditors. It's effect. they thought, would be far reaching
 The principle, as laid down by Jus tice Lamar, was stated in this lan- guage: "CoFporations insolvent or financially embarrassed often find it necessary to scale their debts and re- adjust stock issues with an agreement to conduct the same business with the same property under a reorga nization.
 
 private contract between bondholders and stockholders, and though the cor poration property is thereby transfer red to new company having the same shareholders. the transaction would be biding between the parties.
 But, of course, such a transfer by stockholders from themselves to them selves cannot defeat the claim of a non-assenting creditor. As against him the sale is void in equity, regard less of the motive with which it was made For if such contract reorga- nization was consummated in good faith and ignorance of the existence of the creditor, yet, when he appear ed and esta ablished his debt, the subor- dinate interest of the old stockh old CT would still be subject to his claim in the hands of the reorganized com pany. There is no difference in prin- ciple if the reorganization, instead of being effectuated by private sale, is consunmat ted by a masters deed un- der a consent decree.''

 his transfer from the chair of Hebrew languages to that of biblical theology in the Union theological seminary, de- livered an address on '"The Authority of the Holy Scripture" It aroused such adverse criticism that charges of heresy followed. He was acquitted by the Presbytery of New York and again by the general assembly at Portland, Ore. The committee of prosecution, however, appealed to the general as- senb1y at Washington, D. C., which reversed the former decision and or sdered that Dr. Briggs be suspended.
 Dr Briggs was accused of teaching that reason and the church are alike fountains of divine authority; that the original text of the scriptures may have contained errors; that Moses did not write the -Pentateuch. and that Isaiah wrote but half of the book bearing his name. pr.
