HEADLIGHT ACT"
BEFORE SUPREME
COURT IN APRIL

Georgia's headlight act" the constitu-
uonalty of which has been attacked by
half dozen of the railroads. will be
reached by the supreme court of the
United States probably the week of April
IA, according to information received to-
day by Attorney General Fielder
The railroads, when they began their
fight in 1908 on the act, which would COM
pei them to install electric headlights on
all their locomotives, argued that the
measure was passed improperly in the
state senate and that the act was uncon-
sttuuonal in that it involved the taking
of property without due process of law.
They were overruled by the state court
ana took their case TO the United States
supreme court.
An interesting feature OF the litigation
is that the Atlantic Coast Line. which
was the system which started the attack
upon the enforcement of the new law. now
has equipped its engines with electric
headlights

London, Jan. SAN important ad
vance has been made by the Turks
toward meeting the demands of the
Balkan allies, according to opinions
expressed by Bulgarian representa-
tives as to the new Ottoman proposals
regarding the future frontier between
Bulgaria and Turkey.
The Ottoman delegates were expect
ed to present definite project during
today's conference, suggesting that
the western frontier of Turkey should
follow the course OF the rivers Martha
and Tundje, the Turks to retain the
fortress Of Adrianople, but to abandon
Kirk-Kilisseh.
The allies declared II the proposal
was put forward they would consider
1t sufficient reason for withdrawal OF
their threats to break on negotiations
and to hope for further concessions.

They anticipate the early capitulation
OF Adrianople and this is calculated
to alter radically the Ottoman point
of view.
NJ. Jonescu, the Roumanian minis
ter OF the interior, has insisted that
Bulgaria must give immediate salts
faction by the grant Of compensation,
which was promised in return for her
neutrality during the war. Otherwise,
he says. 1t will be impossible to con-
troll the feeling OF the Roumanian
people. DR.. s. Daneff, in reply. re-
peated vague promises made by him
to the Roumanian government before
he came to London, but NJ. Jonescu
insisted on an explicit answer, so DR..
Daneff telegraphed to the Bulgarian
government for definite instructions.
The Turkish delegates are very in
dignant over the attitude of the Euro
pean powers toward the Ottoman en-
pire, with the remark that when the
Turks are defeated nothing is done to
moderate their enemies pretensions.
but when the Turks are victorious
they are always prevented by the
powers from reaping fruits of their
efforts.
They cite the war of 1897, in which
Greece was utterly defeated by Turkey

OIL LINE CASES In COURT
Corporations Have Big Array of Law
yers to Argue Demonstrations
aIity of United States Law.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The case of
Standard Oil and other oil companies
to prevent the interstate commerce
commission from regulating the OPP
Grating of oil pipe lines was the first
one taken up by the supreme court.
An imposing array of counsel was in
court for the oil companies to oppose
Colicitor-G eneral Davis of the depart
ment of justice.
The case turns upon the constitu
tionality of the pipe line amend
ment' of 1906 to the interstate com
merce lays.
The government contends that It
had a right, as provided in this
amendment, to require all oil-carry-
ing pipe lines engaged in interstate
commerce to act as common carriers.
The commerce court held that 1t did
not and declared the law unconstitu-
tional.
The oil companies contend the gov
eminent cannot hold as common car
riers private individuals or corpora
tons which have never posed as COM
mon carriers, but which carry oil only
for themselves and which enjoy no
rights of eminent domain and no pow
ers from the state.
