LAW FAvoRs CARRIERS
State Supreme Court Holds Federal
Statutes Take Prece dencs Over State
Laws In Deciding lsfeburs Case
Statute Legaiizes Limited Liability
Contracts.

Special to Times publican.
Des Moines, Feb. 2c.-Federal statutes
and United States courts take prece-
dence over anything in the state, SO
the Iowa supreme court says: and in
deciding a case yesterday they pointed
out one OF the little things which con-
gress did to the shippers and In behalf
Of the carriers a few years ago when
amending the interstate commerce act.
The case decided was one in which
Henry Lefebure, Of Fairfax, horse
importer, sued the American Express;
Company for loss of two horses shipped
from New York and got judgment
for 5000 on horses worth several thous-
and dollars. The company pleaded the
signing of the familiar limited liability
stock shipment contracts, which the
Iowa court has been holding were not
in accord with proper policy. But the
court also finds that since this case was
submitted the supreme court of the
United States has decided that as to
the Carmach amendment to the inter-
state commerce law, and because or II
"all state regulations and decisions
relative to the liability of carriers upon
interstate shipments have heen super
seeded and that there is now one gen.
eral national law upon the subject
which must govern. and in applying the
act to such limited liability contracts
as the one upon which the defendant
relies that there is nothing in the afore-
said amendments which In any way
prohibits the making of such contracts
and nothing in public policy forbidding
them"
This is contrary the practice In
Iowa, but it goes; in other words. the
carriers slipped something into the fed
eral law when nobody was looking
which legalizes the limited liabilit!
contracts. Recovery for losses can onl!
be based on the values stated on the
contracts

Want Fruit Protected

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Cali
fornia Congressional delegation today
conferred with Manager Powell of the
citrus. fruit exchange concerning plans
for legislation to protect citrus fruits
from frost. 1t was decided to await
the return here from California of Dr.
Walter, formerly genealogical expert
Of the Department of Agriculture, who
has been investigating frost froeection
in the Stale before making any definite
plans for Congressional action.
The delegation will probably ask
Secretary of Agriculture Houston tC
include an appropriation of $4,000 in
the next agricultural bill for expert
ments to discover the best methods OF
frost protection. There is a small
chance now Of the citrus fruits sched-
ule in the Underwood tariff bill being
increased in the Senate because Sen
atOr Ryan of Florida, the only other
State Interested in the schedule, has
announced that he will support the
Underwood bill.
Representative Raker's bill provid-
ing inspection of fruits sent by par
eel post to prevent spread of fruit
pests, has been referred to Horti-
cultural Commissioner Cook of Cali
fOrnia who has suggested that in ad-
dition to inspection at points Of re
ceipt and delivery, the State into
which the fruit is shipped be divided
into inspection districts with particu-
lar points of entry and that such par
eel post packages be routed so thai
they will pass through these points.

Of Auburn, has suggested the bill hc
