Meta Robinson, Mrs. Robert Stewart
Mrs. S. E. Barber, Miss Nanon Herren
Miss Mary MacLennan and Miss Anna
bel Garvey helped in the dining room.
Mrs. NelliS entertainS for the wives
of the ex-governors, the wives of the
senators and representatives at each
session of the legislature, and these
affairs are usually informal and the
friends she gathers about her are
among the most interesting people of
the state. The guests represented the
old regime and the new, for there
were men and women whose interests
are still with the Grand Old Party, and
there were adherents of the party new
in power, and there were old people
and young people.
After the dinner in the evening, en-
tertainment was furnished the guests
by readings given by Miss Nanon Her
rem, who made her debut as reader
Wednesday night, and whose child i'm
presentations are perfect, and by Miss
Hazel Barnwell, a teacher of express
sion, whose interpretations of Kipling
were especially pleasing and mastery.
AS an unexpected feature of the en-
tertainment, Miss Alice Hazard, a
Kansas City woman, cast the
horoscope for the guests by the date
of their birth. The readings, though
off-hand, were extremely clever. Miss
Hazard is professionally interested in
the ancient art of astrology,. lately be-
ing revived and attracting the interest
of many people in an amateur way.
Among the guests at the dinner were !:
Mrs. George Hodges, Senator and Mrs.
w. H. Thompson, Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Doerr, of Larned; Mrs. Harvey Eckert,
of Larned; Mrs. c. A. Hoffman, of En-

Montpelier, Jan The public service
commission has been adjudgcd legally

the State. The decision was announced
to-day. The opinion Of a majority of the

in place of chief Justice Rowcll was
read by Judge Hazclton. \ dissenting

: the case on which the court held spc-
cial hearing early in December, advance
ing it on the docket at the urgent request
Of the Governor.
Every seat in the supreme court room
was occupied and when it became appar-
rnt how the court had divided on the
question, some surprise was expressed.
Judge Powers has been known as a man
of advanced, almost radical theories of
government. 1t had been the impression
of those who had given the matter only
superficial thought that the radical end
of the court would naturally uphold a law
with the substance of which they would
be thoroughly in sympathy. The lineup
was laWycr-like. The more radical were
for declaring one Of the most radical OF
our statutes invalid because they be-
lievcd the manner in which the effect was
brought about to he unlawful, while
the more conscrvativ" members We're
Standing up for this radical law because
in their opinion the constitution made al

The first draft of the law in question
is said to have been made by chief Judge
Jonathan Ros-
The case arose ont of q ruling or
the public service commission in ia
vor of George NJ. sabre and other pc
titioners requiring the Rutland and
Central Vermont railroads to CON

Rutland railroad appealed from TINS
decision assigning various reasons
why tho ruling was invalid,
CONTENTION OF RAILROAD.
Interest in the case was due to the
fact that the Rutland attorney, Ed
win w. Lawrence, in his brief attack
el the existence of the public service
commission. This attack was not di-
rected against the existence of any
public service commission. but merely
against the form of law from which
this particular commission derives its
power. 1t was argued by the attor-
ncv for the railroad that this statute
involved confusion of Legislative,
judicial ami administrative powers,
dangerous to good government and
contrary to the national and state
constitutions.

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS
PUBLIC Sc RVICE BOARD
Majority Decision, Signed by Three of Fiv
Judges Declares Commission Is Legally
Constituted Administrative Body

G. Sargent. took the ground that the
commission was AN administrative
body having quasi judicial powers.
Because of this feature of the case,
doubt was cast upon tho yalilit: of a
mass Of proposed legislation depend
ing in one way or another upon the
existence Of the public service COM
mission To prevent blockade Of
the processes of legislation, the state
, hy its attorney general requested that
this case be advanced on the docket
SO that if possible tho questions in
volvcd might he decided before final
adjournment of the General Assem-
| bly,.
/ The opinion of the court holds that
the public service statute of 1906, If
it contains any part which is invalid,
Is Invisible and in any case the pub
lie service commission is legal body
authorized 10y law to make the deci-
sion in the Alhurg case. The majority
, holds that it is an administrative body
clothed with certain quasi judicial and
| quasi legislative functions. but not in
a cgal sense a court The court in

/ alton would mean no government. The
court implies on the contrary that it
means such separation as would be
compatible with efficient government
MINORITY CALLS IT \ COURT
The minority believes that a prop
crly constituted public service commits
sion is an administrative body witt

goes on to argue that the Vernon
LEGISLATURE by Soc. 8, acts of 1896 has
made it a court with full Judi
iial functions. Since these iudicia
functions cannot be conferred upon M

constitutions provision for separation o

1t to be invalid. 1t is confirmed in it:

The conclusion of the minority is thai

ture was unconstitutional, and since this
provision was the primary purpose OF
passing the law, the whole act falls with
it.
II the one deciding vote had gone the
other way the probable effect is that the

been dissolved thereby, hut would on the
contrary have persisted under the old
public service law thereby revived.
