DETRIMENTAL FOR
 CUBAN SUGAR STANDS.
Supreme Court Declines to Issue ln-
 junction Sought by Louisiana.

Washington, June 22-The supreme court today declined to issue an in junction restraining the treasury de- partnent from granting the Cuban sugar, the twenty per cent. differential provided by treaty, in addition to the ne wreduced rates of the tariff law. The merits of the case, brought by the state of Louisiana, were not passed upon, however, and action in the cus- toms court was not precluded by the decision.
 Louisiana, as planter of sugar cane, on it's convict farm, sought the in junction. The states attorney con- tended that the 25 per cent. reduc- ton in sugar rates which became eff fective in March under the Underwood law, wiped out the differential At toreny General McReynolds advised Secretary McAdoo that the differen- tial provided by the Cuban reciproci- ty treaty still prevailed despite the re- ductton.
 Tho sureme court did not pass upon that but declined the injunction on the ground that the power of the secre tary of the treasury was discretionary and not ministerial and that 1t would not instruct him how to proceed.

To Report Bill to
 Dissolve Railroads
MASSACHUSETTS, LEGISLATIVE
 COMMITTEE TO ACT THIS WEEK.
RETAINS RIGHT TO BUY
Pressure from Federal Authorities Hasten Legislative Action for the Dissolution of the Boston and Maine and N. V, N. H. ( H..

Boston. June 22-A bill to separate the Boston and Maine from the New fork. New Haven and Hartford rail- road will be unanimously reported to the legislature before the end of the week by the committee on railroads, 1t was announced at the close of a two- hours conference between Governor Walsh and the committee late today. Under the terms of the proposed-meas- ure known as the Ffsher-E,llis bill, the state would retain the right to buy at any time the 51 per cent. of the Bos- ton and Maine stock now held by the Boston Holding company for the New Haven. This stock, should the bill be- come a law. must be sold in the open market.
 The agreement of the railroad com mittee to report promptly the Fisher Ellis bill was hastened by word from Washington today that President Will son and Attorney General McReynolds were agreed that the dissolution suit against the New Haven would go for ward unless the state gave the holding company authority to sell it's Boston and Maine stock The committee last week reported a resolve to have the arilroad separation matter go over until next January pending an investi- gation by a recess committed.
 May Be Some Amendments.
 While the committee was unanimous in agreeing to meet the wishes of the governor and the federal authorities, some of the members announced that they would reserve the right to offer amendments which. they said, were in- tended to perfect the bill and would not alter its main purpose.
 The bill follows the lines recom- mended by Governor Walsh in his in augural address. The New Haven, al- though asking that some action be taken towards settling the disposition of the stock in the possession of the holding company, objected to the pro- vision by which the state could at any time gain control of the Boston and Maine. The governor. however, in- sisted that the state should retain the privilege of buying the stock for it's own purposes whenever it saw fit.

WILL FIGHT RAILROADS FOR
 TITLE TO PETROLEUM LANDS.
Finding of Supreme Court Covers Only Test Case Against Southern Pacific

Washington. June 22-Title of trans continental railroads to some s700,- 100000 worth of petroleum land as against other private claimants was upheld today by the supreme court in test suit brought by Edmund Burke of California against the Southern Pa cific Railroad Company.
 At the same time Justice Vandever, Tor the court stated that seemingly the governments right to attack the railroads title for fraud or error had expired in 1900 or 1901. 1t was made plain, however, that the rights of the government were not involved in the case before the court and there was no mention of the recent suit brought by the government against the South ern Pacific to regain the very lands in question.
 Government officials after the deci- sion stated they would continue to press the suit

 Contention of Railroads.
 The ground upon which the rallroaos asked for the exemption under the long and short haul clause was that water competition required the rail roads to carry commodities to the coast at an unreasonably low rate ana that the rates proposed for the Inter mountain cities were reaSonaDle III themselves for the service performed.
 Inasmuch as several western citles would not be able to compete Wltn New York and Atlantic coast cities 1T New York alone enjoyed the low rates, the railroads claimed right py Vlr- tue of market competition" to allow middle western cities to enjoy the same rates as New York.
