An elaborate constitution, cover

Watkins was elected president, the

three judges, court of appeals

many minor functionarirs, ranging
down to sheriff and constable. The

The store of supplies was large and
expensive. Early in April all ar

Early in its history the legisla-
ture of the travelling republic had
passed a law exempting all parsons

by election or appointment, from
camp drudgery and guard duty. In
the enthusiasm of the stare little
attention was paid to this law but

ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPArcH1

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Doubt cast upon the legal validity of vows to poverty of many catholic orders was removed by the supreme court, revers- ing the circuit court of appeals. The lower court, sitting in Minnesota, held the vows void as against public policy on the ground that they do not permit d person making them ever to with draw from the order. The supreme court through Justice Hughes, an- nounced the lower court had fallen into error by not distinguishing between the religious and civil nature of vows.
 It iS pointed out that person is permitted under the organization ord = CTS to withdraw civilly, although his withdrawal in q religious sense is a matter of conscience The case arose in the settlement of the estate Of Father -Augustin Wirth of Springfield Minnesota. Relatives claimed the property in his possission at the time .of his death. despite his VOW.

WASHINGTON. June 22 - The standard Oil company lost it's vigor- ously-waged fight against government regulation of it's pipe lines, when the supreme court upheld the validity of the amendment to the Hepburn rate law, which declared the oil pipe lines across state lines are common car r1ers, subject to the authority of the interstate commerce commission
 The court exempted from the oper- ation of the act the Uncle Sam oil company, an independent concern. Chief Justice White and Justice Mc- kenna dissented from this action. Justice Mckenna also vigorously at tackled the constitutionality of the act
 Justice Holmes pointed out. in an- nouncing the majority's conclusion. that the act was passed to relieve the country from the monopoly of the Standard Oil company, and the mere fact that the Standards pipe lines owned all the oil it transported did not take it out of the class of com mon carriers He explained that in effect the Standard was carrying the oil of other producers, even if did force them as a condition to trans pOrtation to sell oil to it.
 Congress, the court declared, hat the power to make corporations that are common carriers in fact becom, so in form.
 As the Uncle Sam company, Justice Holmes said the company had d re- finery in Kansas and oil wells in Ok lahoma with connecting pipe line
