Washington.-The Supreme Court 'n lis last day of the present term hand ed down several decisions of great i,nnortanee to the railroads and the bnsiness interests Of the country.
 The court decided the long contest ed intermountain rate case in favor Of inc Interstate Commerce Commission and against the railroads. Under this decision the reduced freight rates O. aarad by the commission in 1911 for intermountain points on the transcon- mental lines will go into effect.
 These reductions have been esti- mate as high as 20 per cent, and the eDforcement of the commissions or der will compel readjustment of rates. affecting nearly all the rasl- roads of the country.
 A New Interpretation.
 Tn deciding this case the Supreme Court for the first time has upheld tue mower of the Interstate Commerce commission to fix railroad rates. Up to the present the powers of the com mission have been limited to review ing rates fixed by the roads them selves.
 Through this decision the Supreme Court sustains the constitutionality ff the long and short haul clause of the iDtersta te commerce act
 In another important decision the court held that pipe lines are common carriers whose rates are subject to regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission. This is a blow at the Standard Oil Company, which will now be obliged to carry the oil of its competitors under traffic approved by the Federal authorities.
 Decision on Establishing.
 A third decision by the court affords new application of the Sherman an thrust law to the blacklist. Through this decision the Eastern retail lum- Der dealers "trust" can n3 longer op- crate in it's old way.
 The court also handed down an opin- ion validating the Southern Paeific's Railroad title to oil lands in California whose value is estimated as high as $700o00,000.
 The court held that the so-called poverty vows by m ambers of religious orders are not void as against public policy This decision affects many Catholic and other religious orders which have received property under these so-called poverty vows.

Emerson Dietrich, a Cornell Graduate, Killed at Chicago
TRAGEDY IN A FREIGHT GAR
Animals Turn on Him at Once DietrIeh's Parents Faint Upon Get ting News-one Escapes and
 Terrorizes Chicago Section.

Chicago. Emerson n. Dietrich ot Brooklyn, manager of a troupe O. trained lions, performing about the country in vaudeville. was attack ] and killed by six of the animals when he entered the car in which they were eaged.
 While the keepers were trying t0 recover Dietrich's body from the beasts. a lion escaped from an ad. joining cage and terrorized residents Of the thickly populated neighborhooj in which the car stood. The beast finally was driven back to it's ear before it harmed any one.
 The lions had become greatly ex- cited and kept up an incessant roar ing, that attracted a great crowd. They were kept in an ordinary box car. in the ends of which steel cages had been built, reaching to within . few feet of the top of the ear, leav- ing a passageway two feet wide be tween them. In one cage were the six older lions and in the other four younger ones.
 A pike pole from the fire depart ment was used to withdraw Dietrich's s body from the lions, after it had been sprinkled with formaldehyde to drive them away. George McCord, keeper of the lions, was unable to rescue Dietrich.
 After the disinfectant had been thrown into the den, the animals made repeated plunges at the bars. just outside of which the rescuers were working.
 When he went into the den,' Me Cord said, Teddy, the leader of the attack, started to play with him. and he told the beast to lie down. Four of the lions were facing him Teddy sunk around behind him and in a mo- ment was on his back l think Die trich's neck was broken al once.
 "TriIby, the oldest of the lions, tried to save Dietrich. but the others push ed her away, and she quit and watched them without joining in the attack"
 The lions were owned by Mme Ad- gie Castillo. to whom Dietrich was ea- gaged to be married. She said she had formerly taken care of the ami mals herself and that none of them had ever before given indications of being vicious. She attributed the at | tack to the fact that the ear was dark when Dietrich entered.
 Police armed with rifles guarded the lions car. Their taste of blood appar ently had aroused all the animals tt high pitch and all night they main tained an uproar that. could be heard for blocks.

COURT ENJolNs MARsANs.
Ten Day Notice Works Only in Way
 Outlined In Contract.

St. Paul. Minn.-An injunction re- ktraining Armando Marsans, the Gu ban baseball player from playing with the St. Louis Federals was grant cd by Judge Sanborn in Federal Court here. The injunction stipulates that Marsans must not play baseball until the case has been tried in the St. Louis courts. Marsans jumped to the Feds from the Cincinnati Reds.
 The validity of the ten-day clause formed the crux of the argument. MT. Williams contended that the clause was necessary to organized baseball. as 1t forced the player to play his best. Marsans's attorney argued that while it tied up the player it gave the ball club the widest latitude in can ceiling the contract.

It is thought that acid fruits induce Rheumatism. The contrary is true. Fruit acids taken into the system by B person, who has rheumatism act oeneficially. and actually have the ef- feet of increasing the slkalinity Of the blood.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
WHAT 1T COST TO Dis
COVER AMERICA.
BY a. w. MACY.

It is difficult to make ain ac-
curate estimate of what it cost
to discover America. All the
documents agree that the total
expense of fitting out the three
little vessels with which Column
bus sailed was $4,000 mara
vedis, but the difficulty is to
ascertain the value of that coin
at the time. A maravedi is a
small copper coin of Spain, sup
posed to be worth about three
mills of American money. The
coins of a country usually de-
crease in value as the country
grows older, and some authori-
ties claim that in the time Of
Columbus a maravedi was equal
to seven mills. If such was the
case, the expense to the Span
ish government was about
$4,000. Of course the pay Of
the officers and crew should be
included, but that was not ex-
cessive. The annual salary Of
Admiral Christopher Columbus
was equal to $500 American
money; of the three captains,
$192 each, and of the three
pilots, about $40 each. The
sailors were paid at The rate of
$2.75 a month. The ships physi-
clan could not have been con-
sidered a very important per.
sonage, as his salary was equal
to $3.50 per annum.
