GREAT NORTHERN LOSES Lawyers Attempt to Play Off One Law Against Another and Escape Penalties of Both Foiled by the Supremo . Court. STIYKKE BLOW TO STANDARD. CHICAGO. Feb. 24. "The decision that the Hepburn act does not repeal BectloB 1 of the jaklna act takes away one of the bis points on which the Staod&rd Oil ComDanjr i basins its appeal from the fine Imposed by Judge Landls," said District Attorney Sims In Chtcaso today. "Incidentally It is a big- feather In Judge Landis cup. He was the first Jurist to -decide this, rotnt." - WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. One of the main contentions by which the rall- roads which (rave and the corporations which received rebates hoped to escape punishment was swept away today by a decision of the United States Su preme Court This decision, vitally af fects the case under which the Stand ard OH Company was fined J29.240.000 for the same point was raised. The case upon which the decision was rendered was instituted In the Tnlted States District Court for the District of Minnesota, which court fined the Great Northern Railroad $1000 -each for 15 violations of the first Bectlon of the Elkins law. The alleged offenses against the law were committed during the Summer of 1805. and consisted in granting con cessions to the W. P. Deveraux Com pany on its shipments of oats and corn from Minneapolis to points in Wash ington. The company admitted the concessions and fought the prosecu tion on tha ground that by amending the Elkins act so as to provide for punishment by imprisonment rather than by fines the Hepburn law had so modified the original law as to ac complish Its repeal and render punish ment under it impracticable. Today's decision was announced by Justice White and ufflrmed the finding; of the District Court and the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Repeal Does Not Give Immunity. Justice White said the effect of the Hepburn law in repealing the Elkins act must be considered in the light of section 13, Revised Statutes, which pro vision Is that the repeal of any statute shall not have the effect of releasing any penalty or liability incurred 'under the statute repealed. He said it was clear that the mere repeal of con flicting laws is in no way repugnant to that statute and there could be no contention that, standing alone, the act had the result of destroying the effect of section 13. Quoting section 107 of the Hepburn act, which pro vides that the act shall not affect "cases pending in the courts," Justice White said: The difficulty of construction. if any, arises from the words following the gen eral repealing clause: "But the amendments herein provided for shall not affect cases now pending In the courts of the United States, but such causes shall be prosecuted to conclusion in the manner heretofore prorlded by law." No Conflict With Statutes. These words, we think, do not expressly or by fair implication, conflict with the general rules established by section 13. Re vised Statutes, since by their very terms they are concerned with the asnlicatlon to proceedings pending In the courts of the United (States of the new methods of pro cedure created by the Hepburn law. Any other construction would necessitate ex punging the words "shall be prosecuted to a conclusion In the manner heretofore pro vided by law." This follows, because If It were to be held that the Intent and object of the lawmaker In dealing with causes "pending In the courts of the United States" was solely to depart, as to all but such pending causes, from the general rule of Revised Statutes, section 13. then the provision as to future proceedings would be unnecessary because the old and unre pealed as well as the newly enacted reme dies would be applicable, as far as pertinent, to such pending cases. The provision com manding that the new remedies should not be applicable to causes then pending in the courts of the United States gives sig nificance to the whole clause and serves to make clear the fact that the legislative mind was concerned with the new reme dies to causes then pending In the courts, and demonstrates, therefore, that this sub ject, and this subject alone, was the mat ter with which the provision in question was Intended to deal. In other words, when the object contemplated by the provision Is accurately fixed, the subject la freed from difficulty, and not only the letter but the fcplrit of the provision becomes clear, that Is to say, it but manifests the purpose of Congress to leave causes pending In the courts to be prosecuted under the prior remedies, thus causing the new remedies created to be applicable to all contro versies not at the time of the passage of the act pending In the courts. Flawln Railroad Argument'. And all the arguments relied upon to sus tain the theory that the power to prose cute for past offenses not then pending In the courts was abrogated by the Hepburn law rests In substance upon disregard of the true significance of the provision of sec tion . 10. Thus the argument that by the application of the elementary rules by which the Inclusion of one might be considered as the exclusion of the other, it follows that the power to further prosecute all but causes thon pendinr In the court was de stroyed by the Hepburn law, because pend ing causes are enumerated In section 10 and are hence not saved by Re vised Statutes, section 13. simp'ly as sumes that the provision of section 10 was Intended to save the right to further prose cute the causes then pending In the courts, and disregards the fact that the provision as to pending causes was solely addressed to the remedies to be applied In the future carrying on of such cases. NOT HURT BT THE MERGER Venner Loses Suit Against the Great Northern and Hill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. The case of Clarence H. Venner vs. the Great North ern Railway and J. J. Hill, which was begun In the United States Circuit Court for the Southern district of New York by Tenner to compel Hill to account for and pay over to Venner and other stock holders the value of their respective hold ings because, as was alleged, the hold ings had been impaired by the joint eftort of the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific Railroad Company In 1900 to ob tain control of the Chicago, Burlington A Qutncy Railroad, was decided by the Su preme Court of the United States today against Venner. Venner charged that Hill had engi neered the merger for his own personal benefit. The court dismissed the case on the ground that Venner had failed to show In his bill that he was a stockholder at the time of the transaction of which he com plained. The opinion was handed down ty Justice Moody and sustained the de cision of the Circuit Court. The vital question was that of the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court which was upheld. TRYING TO GET ENOUGH MEN Railroads Have Ten Days Before the New Law Goes Into Effect. XLOS ANGELES, Feb. . 24. With less than ten days until the new Federal' law limiting the hours of labor of certain railroad employes shall become effective, Loe Angeles Railway officials are pre paring as best they can for the neces sary changes which must be made. Ap proximately 140 new telegraph operators will be required In the territory governed by Los Angeles general offices. The Santa Fa will need the greater portion of these. If it keeps all its offices open It will require 81 men on its Coast line in addition to Its present force. There is a possibility that It will not be able to get that number at once. If so. It will be necessary to close a few offices all or a part of the time until the additional men can be found. Southern Pacific and Salt Lake offi cials say they expect no trouble in securing all the additional men they will need. The Southern Pacific will require 30 or 40 men on its southern division, reaching from El Paso to Fresno and Santa Barbara, while the Salt Lake will need 18 or 20. JUDGE GR05SGUP ON TRIAL WITH SEVEN OTHERS ACCUSED OP CRIMINAL. NEGLIGENCE. Action Is Brought Against Officers and Directors of Trolley Lin on Which 18 Were Killed. CHARLESTON, 111., Feb. 24 Judge Peter Grosscup, Presiding Judge of the United States Circuit Court at Chicago, with seven other directors, officers and employes of the Central Illinois Trac tion Company, was arraigned today be fore Judge M. W. Thompson, In the Coles County Circuit Court, on charges of criminal negligence and manslaugh ter. The defendants arraigned with Judge Grosscup were: Arthur W. Underwood, Francis S. - Peabody and ' Marshal W. Sampson, all of Chicago and all direc tors of the company; President E. A. Potter, Chicago; Superintendent Fred M. Moore, Charleston, and Motorman B. F.' McClara and Charles Bolls, Charles ton. The eight men were indicted as a re sult of the lnterurban collision one mile west of Charleston, on the Charleston & Mattoon lnterurban line, on August 20. 1907. A heavily-loaded passenger car bound for Charleston with visitors to the County Fair crashed into a heavy express car on a steep grade. Eighteen persons were killed and 53 Injured in the collision. All the accused pleaded "not guilty." Formal motion to quash the indict ments was made in each case. QUARREL AGAIN RENEWED Introduction of New Educational Bill In House of Commons. LONDON, Feb. 24. The new educa tional . bill was Introduced in the House of Commons today by Reginald Mackenna, president of the Board of Education. The bill regulates the con ditions under which public money may be applied In aid of elementary edu cation in England and Wales. The House of Commons was crowded for the occasion. The new measure is not so conten tious as the Birrell educational bill of 1906, which the House of Lords threw Into the waste paper basket without ceremony. The two main principles embodied In the new bill are that there shall be complete public control of the elementary schools by locally elected oodles and that there shall be no de nominational tests In the appointment of teachers. In speaking of the bill, Mr. Mac kenna said that failure to pass the ministerial proposals would give a most powerful Impetus to the move ment to secure the total abolition of religious Instruction in the schools. Mr. Mackenna explained that under his bill there would be two kinds of schools receiving state assistance. The first and predominant would be the public elementary schools provided for by the public, controlled by the pub lic and managed by the public; while the second and exceptional type would be' the voluntary schools, which are supported by the various religious de nominations. The latter, If not car ried on for profit, would be given exchequer grants In aid, but they would receive no support from the state. The local authorities have to provide simple Bible instruction in all the elementary schools, but the school buildings would be available after school hours for denominational in struction by volunteer teachers of pu pils voluntaVlly staying over for such teachtngs. A. J. Balfour attacked the bill bit terly and, in spite of the modifications Introduced by Mr. Mackenna, it is ap parent that the Conservatives and churchmen intend to wage as bitter war against this bill as they did against the Birrell bill of 1906. AFFIDAVITS NOT ET READY Heney and Langdon Work All Day In Counter Showing. SAN FRANCISCO, ' Feb. 24. District Attorney William H. Langdon and As sistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney gave practically their entire at tention today to the preparation of the affidavits to be filed with Superior Judge Lawlor tomorrow morning in the prose cution's counter showing against the mo tion of Abraham Ruef for the vacating of his arraignment. It is expected that the plan of the prosecution will be to bare every detail of the negotiations with Ruef, and it Is quite probable that an . effort will be made to show that Ruef and not the prosecution broke the pact and failed to keep faith. Beyond stating that affidavits, to be filed tomorrow, and not entirely com pleted this afternoon, would deal ex haustively with the entire matter, Heney today refused to 'discuss the prosecution's counter showing. The other trolley bribery cases were continued again for two weeks, when they came up this morning, before Judge Lawlor. With the exception of the "light trust" bribery cases. Including E. M. Graney, J. W. Coffroth, Willis F. Brltt and Eugene E. Schmltz." the so-called '."graft" cases before Superior . Judge Frank H. Dunne this morning went over for two weeks. The fight promoters were to have filed their answer to the com plaint, but owing to the absence of Dis trict Attorney Langdon, who is expected to be called as a witness In the case, a continuation was taken until this afternoon.
