MISSING FILIPINO.
ALCAREz, RETURNS
Servant of Captain Rush
Arrested as Spy, But
Later Released

Mexico City, June 22.-Gregorio Alcarez,
the Filipino servant of Captain Rush Of
the United States battleship Florida, for
whom the state department at Washing
ton instituted a search, walked into the
Brazilian legation today and introduced
himself to the minister. The Filipino
showed no signs of ill treatment.
Alcarez said he was released from the
Santiago military prison June Q, when at
the invitation of a fellow prisoner, a
Mexican, he went to Tizapan few miles
from the capital. He remained there un-
til today when he read a newspaper ac-
count of the search being made for him
by the Mexican police. He then came
here Immediately. He said he had no
money and had been unable to return
to Vera Cruz.
Alcarez said he left Vera Cruz May g.
to buy fruit for Captain Rush. On pass
ing the Mexican lines he was arrested as
a spy. He did not reveal his connec-
ton with the United States navy. He
was taken to Paso Del Macho, then trans
ferred to Cordoba.
The Filipino arrived in Mexico City in
custody on May 10, and was confined in
the barracks of the Twenty-ninth regi-
ment. On May 10, he was removed to
Santiago prison.

LOUISIANA LOSES
ITS SUGAR FIGHT

Washington, June 22-The supreme court
today declined to issue an injunction re-
straining the treasury department from
granting Cuba's sugar the 20 per cent
differential provided by treaty in addi-
ton to the new reduced rates of the tariff
law. The merits of the case brought
by the state of Louisiana, were not passed
on, however, and the decision did not pre-
clude action in the customs court.
Louisiana as planter of sugar cane on
its convict farm sought the injunction. The
states attorneys contended that the 25
per cent reduction in sugar rates that
became effective in March under the I'm
derwood law wiped out the differential.
Attorney General McReynolds advised
Secretary McAdoo that the differential
provided by the Cuban reciprocity treaty
still prevailed, despite the reduction.
The supreme court did not pass on that,
but declined the injunction on the ground
that the power of the Secretary of the
Treasury was discretionary, and not min
isterial, and that it would not instruct
him how to proceed.

The Supreme Court Upholds
Validity of Hepburn Law
Amendment
LINES ACROSS STATE
COMMON CARRIERS
Court Holds Them Subject to Author
ity of Interstate Commerce Com
mission-White and Nc
Kenna Dissent

Washington, June 22.-Standard Oil
lost its vigorously waged fight ngninst
government regulation of its pipe lines
today when the supreme court upheld
the validity of the amendment to the
Hepburn rate law, which declared oil
pipe lines across state lines common
carriers subject to the authority of the
Interstate commerce commission.
The court exempted from the opera
ton of the act the Uncle Sam company,
an independent. Chief Justice White
and Justice McKenna dissenting from
this action. Justice McKenna also Wig
orously attacked the constitutionality of
the act.
Justice Holmes, announcing the ma
joritys conclusion, pointed out 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
1t transports did not take it out of the
class of common carriers. He explained
that in effect the Standard was car
rying the oil of other producers, even
If it did not enforce as condition
of the transportation to sell the oil to
it. Congress, the court declared. had
the power to make corporations that
were common carriers in fact become
go in form.
Had Pipes of Own
As to the Uncle Sam company, jus
tice Holmes said the company mad a
refinery in Kansas and oil wells in
Oklahoma, with a connecting pipe line
used solely to conduct oil from It's own
wells to its own refinery.
1T would be a perversion or ian
guage, considering the sense in whlch
it is used in the statute" he added, TO
say that a man was engaged in the
TRANSPORTATION of water whenever he
pumped a pail of water from ms well
to mis- house,
Justice McKenna insisted that the eX-
emption of the Uncle Sam company
left the way open for the Standard to
avoid the operation of the law. He
as lxed if the Standards lines would not
be exempted, just as Uncle Sam s, IL
the Standard ceased to purchase oil.
..Ayhat them" he inquired "would be-
come of the independent producer?
The pipe line companies, Justice NC
Eeuna held, had done nothing outside
of the legislature with the rights which
all property owners possessed, namely,
TO use their own property exclusively
for themselves.
