Number of Cases Passed
Upon by the Supreme Court
of the United States.
JURISDICTION LACKING
IN MINNEAPOLIS CASE
Compensation Law in Washington
State Abolishes All Suits for
Damages, It Is Held.

Without attempting to pass on the
merits Of tax on membership in the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce i'm
posed by Hennepin county, the Supreme
Court of the United States has affirmed
the action of the federal district court
in Minnesota in Diminishing the case
for want of jurisdiction.
The suit was dismissed on the ground
that the amount in controversy as to
the members could not be aggregated
in order to confer jurisdiction.
All suits for dana ges in Washington
state courts instituted by workmen in
the hazardous employments covered by
the Washington state workmens COM
pensation law, whether against en-
ployers or against third persons, were
abolished by the act, according to the
Interpretation given the law by the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The decision came down in the case
in which the widow and children of
Benjamin Mecse sued the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company for the alleged
negligent killing of Meese. an employe
of brewery at Seattle, Wash, along
side the railways tracks. The federal
district court held that the compensa
tion law abolished all suits for dam
ages and dismissed the one before it,
but the ninth United States circuit
court of appeals held that it abolished
litigation only of employees against
their employers. Yesterdays decision
reversed the court of appeals decision.

Proposal Held Not New.

Mr.. SWINE explained that having been
a resident of Washington for thirty
four years. and been educated in the
public schools and having children who

schools, he had right to speak from a
nersonal aspect. Asserting that naWs

District heads was not new and was not
original with them. President Taft, ne

dent believed that the present system
was inefficient. and pointed out that
there seemed TO be a lack of definite
plans for education under the present
system. The message then recon-
Iuended that the entire control be
PLACED in the board of Comm SsionerS.
He said that other Commissioners had
recommended such a change, including
Commissioners mcfarland. West and
Gen. Johnston.

dollar in taxes collected in the District
of Columbia was spent on the school
system, and yet. he said. the board
which has charge of the spending of
this money Is not responsible TO the
court which appointed them or to any
one else. He said he did not under
stand why the appointiye power was
placed with the court in the first place.
Central Control Needed.
Central control was needed. he said,
to get efficient administration. There
