UPHELD BY The
HIGHEST COURT
Newspaper Publicity Law Is
Constitutional.

Washington, June 1l.-As interpret
ed by it the supreme court upheld the
constitutionality of the newspaper
publicity law enacted as a part of the
postal appropriations act of 1912.
The particular secIion attacked was
to bar every newspaper and periodical
from the mails unless the editors or
owners filed with the postal authori.
ties semi-annual sworn statements
giving the names of the editors. own
ers, stockholders and bondholders
and the average circulation and there.
after Immediately publish the state
ment. 1t also forbade, under penalty
of fine, the publication of paid for
articles without marking them "ad.
vertisement."
The New York court sustained the
validity of the law. 1t is said that
the law affects more than $4,000 pub
lications in the United States.
Chief Justice White interpreted the
Objectionable regulations as merely az.
fixing additional conditions for admis-
sion of newspapers to the privilege of
the second class mails.

RAILROAD MEN ARE SILENT
Refuse to Discuss Decision in Min.
nesota Rate Case.

st. Paul, June 11.-Following their
recovery from the blow delivered by
the United States supreme court to
all railroads operating in Minnesota
railroad officials and representatives
started to analyze and discuss the de-
cision from every angle.
Although the full significance of the
courts decision has been fully grasped
by the railroad men an ironclad re-
luctance is still being maintained by
them. What move the roads will now
make is a matter of conjecture, ac.
cording to the intimations of several
of the more talkative officials.
Attempts to secure statements from
various road officials and legal repre-
sentatives relative to the course they
will pursue proved as futile as ever.
1t is the consensus of opinion, never
theiess, that the roads will make an
attempt to avoid the ruling.

holds Governors

Cincinnati. June ll.-Former Gov
ernor Judson Harmon declared that
the decision of the supreme court in
the Minnesota rate case appeared to
be a complete vindication of the po-
sition taken by the governors con.
ference.
I'VE are not interested" said Har.
mon, beyond the right of the state
to fix intrastate rates. As to wheth-
er a rate was confiscatory did not en-.

were concerned"

London, June 1l.-With both sides
stubbOrnly refusing 10 make the slight.
est concession war between the Bal
kan states is hourly becoming more
imminent If Bulgaria sends a mega.
tive reply to the Servian note-and
nothing indicates that she will answer
otherwise-Servia and Greece will pro.
claim the annexation OF the occupied
Macedonian territories thereby estab.
fishing a definite casus belli.
The only hopeful feature of the sit.
uation consists in the belief that Bul.
garia is lacking the sinews of war.
Seryia and Greece are not only better
situated in this respect, but also occu.
py superior strategical positions. These
facts probably account for the calm.
ness with which Seryla apparently re.
CARDS the prospect of war.
Many Serylans were killed in a Sc.
rious encounter between Servian and
bulgarian TROOPS near the small town
of Makres. News of the encounter
came in a special dispatch to the Bel
grade Mail Journal and forwarded
here.
Further conflicts are expected in the
same vicinity, as the Servians sent a
note to the Bulgarian commander Civ.
ing him twelve hours to evacuate the
town OF Volodan, failing which the
Seryian general declared he would
lombard Istip, now occupied by the
garians.
A Sofia dispatch to the Daily Mail
says that the departure of the Servian
minister, accompanied by his family,
for Belgrade, has caused much com.
ment.
Bulgaria's reply to the Servian note.
the dispatch adds, will be to the effect
that Bulgaria is not in a position to
make concessions of any kind, as he
feels that she is absolutely in the right
and that Servia's claims are totally
unfounded.
