SIEGE WARFARE IN CARPATH|ANS
Strong Armies Are Fitted Against Each Other As On the West
 ern Battle Line.

GENEVA, March 9.-The fighting in the Carpathian mountains between Russians and Germans and Austri- ans is rapidly becoming very much like siege warfare, according to dis patches reaching Geneva from points near the line of battle.
 These messages declare that since February IS more than 100000 men have been fighting hand-to-hand in the Carpathian trenches without making any material advance. The wounded are pouring into Ungvar and Eperies in Hungary.
 A chief officer of the Austrian med ical department is authority for the estimate that 70 per cent. of them will be invalids for life. A majority of the men at Swidnik were wounded in the head by blows from rifle butts, and 20 per cent. of them will be eith- CT partially or totally blind. Many of the wounded lay for days in the cold before being picked up.

INNOCENT FARE
 BEEN ANNULLED
Railroads Must Be Permitted Rate Which Will Enable Them To
 Provide Safety.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Su- preme Court of the United States to- day handed down a decision which will be far reaching in it's effects con- corning state control of transporta- tion companies operating within their boundaries.
 The West Virginia law which limit ed passenger fare to two cents per mile in the state and set a cores pondingly low rate for transportation of freight has been annulled. The case has passed through the lower courts and was appealed to the high. est court, the transportation compan. les claiming that they would lose money under the new rate.
 The finding of the court is the same as in the North Dakota case where the railroads appealed from the state law limiting them to a rate which was lower than the cost of operat' ing. The court holds that the rates must be such as to permit of the railroads making a liberal earning on their investments in order that the equipment of the roads may be kept up and the lives of the travelling pub. lie safeguarded.

FEDERAL COURT
RULES ON CASE
JUDGE DIETRICH HANDED DOWN
OPINION IN BOISE RECEIVER
SHIP CASE
Involves Prolonged Controversy Be-
tween Westinghouse Electric and
Boise Railway, Light and Power

An opinion was today filed by Fed
eral Judge Dietrich in the case of
Westinghouse Electric & Manufacture
ing company VS.. Idaho Railway Light
& Power company, pending at Boise,
in which one phase of prolonged con-
troversy between secured and un-
secured creditors in the railway re-
eeivership is decided. The court holds
in substance that the commencement
of the second foreclosure suit by the
trustee and the filing by it in the ad-
suit of petitions that the
income be impounded for its benefit,
operated to extend the lien of the trust
deed to the income fund thereafter
arising, to the exclusion of the claims
of the general creditors.
1t is further held that in view of
Section 1920 of the revised codes of
Idaho the trustee is entitled to share
in the income fund heretofore ariS-
ing. upon the basis, not of the amount
of it's original claim, but only of the
residue thereof, after applying the
of sale,4thus in effect holding
that a secured creditor must first ap-
ply his security before he can share
with other creditors in the distribu-
ton of the general funds of an insolv-
9nt estate.
