WASHINGTON, oct. 4.-Milton II.

the Louisville & Nashville railway must
answer questions propounded by the in
terstate commerce commission regard
ing contributions by the road TO poIitl-
cal campaign funds, Justice STAFFORD. OF
the District of Columbia supreme court
decided today.
The court held the commission has
the right to know about sucn contri-
buttons, not because of their political
nature, but because they affect ques-
tions of the reasonableness of rates and
important questions of railroad &C
counting.
The decision says, in part:
'sThe conclusion of the court is that
= hen a case is presented from which 1t
clearly appears that the information
sought may we'll be needed by the COM

provision of the act emitting the COM
mission to institute an inquiry and eX-
anime witnesses and consequently, upon
he refusal of the witness TO answer
TO invoke the aid of the court.
1T is difficult to avoid the conclusion
that If the amendment of 1910 is TO be
given any force whatever il must be
considered as having empowered the
commission to proceed by way of in
vestigation and the examination of wit
nesses with respect to such matters, not
because they would involve political &C
tivities but because they involve the
