THREE JUDGES
TO HEAR CASE
Next Step in the Hughes
Electric Co. Case

The case in which the Hughes
Electric Company appealed to the
federal court from the decision of
the railroad commission ordering in
to effect reduced rates in Bismarck
will be heard by three United States
judges. Judge Miller referred the
case to Judge Sanborn of St. Paul
to name three judges to hear the case
as soon as possible after September
20. The first step is hearing the
company's application for an inter
locutory injunction. Should this be
granted it is usual for referee to
be named to take testimony and re-
port to the court. Such cases, in
volving the reasonableness of utili-
ties, often are long drawn-out
Should the court deny the interlo-
cutory injunction the rates would be-
come effective. Judge Miller has
granted temporary restraining or
der, prohibiting the putting into eff
feet of the rates until the case is
heard.

ohlSIHIoIc, NAu'S o>Ps' W Wy '''S
A. P.)-President Coolidge called up
on the American people in a La
fayette address here today to take a
stand against "a deliberate and de-
termined effort" which he said, sis
being made to break down the guar
antees Of our fundamental law"
through movement Ito limit the
jurisdiction Of our domestic courts"
Speaking at the unveiling OF a
statue to Lafayette, the President
characterized the great Frenchman
as "a true son Of world freedom" and
asserted that "this occasion is dedi-
Gated to freedom"
"The question is," he declared,
"whether America will allow itself
to be degraded into communistic
and socialistic state or whether it
will remain American. Those who
want to continue to enjoy the high
estate of American citizenship will
resist all attempts to encroach upon
their liberties by encroaching upon
power of the courts"
While devoting his address pri-
marily to a defense of the United
States Supreme Court, the President
also drew lesson from the French
leader who COINED us in fighting
for the maintenance and extension OF
our institutions" and proposed a
policy of service in foreign relations.
He pleaded also for the abolish
ment of war hatred and assistance
in the restoration of the German
people now shorn Of militarism."
The Supreme Court
Referring to the supreme court,
Mr.. Coolidge said, if its authority
should be broken down and its pow
ers lodged with Congress every min
ority body that might be weak in re-
sources or unpopular in the public
estimation, also nearly every race
and religious belief would find them
selves practically without protec-
tion."
The President mentioned no names
in connection with the attack he de-
scribed against the supreme court.
He characterized it as an assault up
on the constitution with its purpose
the confiscation of property and de-
struction of liberty.
Very little danger exists in open
and avowed assaults upon individual
freedom" he said. ut is more like
ly. to be imperiled indirectly. per-
haps with the avowed intention of
protecting it or enlarging it."
Foreign Relations
In his discussion Of foreign af-
fairs, Mr.. Coolidge said: ITO be in
dependent, to my mind, does not
mean to be isolated.
There is no real independence save
only as we secure it through the law
of service"
While avoiding entanglements he
pointed out that the United States
had pursued that policy in contri-
button to foreign charities; in coun-
sci at the arbitration table in Latin
America; in adjustment of war pro-
blems in Europe; in the Washington
armament conference and in settle
ment of the reparations problem.
