I ill n im OPENING UP OF KLAMATH Extension From Elgin to Joscpli Is Also Included in Construction Approved for 1906 by Ilarrlman. CHICAGO. Dec. 4 (SpeciaU-E. H. Harrlman has approved of more than COO miles of new railway .lines, to be com pleted during 1P06, and the total cost of which will be about $18,000,000. Among the new lines will be an exten sion of the Oregon Short Line from St. Anthony to the Yellowstone National ?ark by the way of Marysvllle. The great increase of visitors to the park has convinced Mr. Harrlman that this 74 miles of railroad -Rill pay the interest on the cost of its construction. The St. Anthony route ww, seeral yeara ago, abandoned for the Monlda route" into the park. Both entail a long stage ride before the park Is reached, and on thlg account the Oregon Short Line was never able to compete with the Northern Pacific for park traffic The latter road reaches the very gates of the park from the north. The St. Anthony entrance is on the western side of the park. Another extension which has been de cided upon will be built between Drain. Or., and the famous Coos Bay on the Pacific Coast. It is understood that this branch Is really the beginning of a Cali fornia coast line between San Francisco and Portland. The Coos Bay extension will probably bo further extended along down the California coast to a connection with the Santa Fc. A third important line Is being built from Hershey. Neb., to a connection with the Burlington at Northport, Neb., a dis tance of 118 miles. The Union Pacific will also build a short cut-off from Summit to Lane, a distance of 12 miles. This will straighten out the main line west of Omaha. The Klamath country is to be opened up by a line from Natron. Or., along the McKenzie fork of the "Willamette River to a point on the east slope of the Cas cade Mountains north of the Klamath marshes, a distance of 152 miles. An extension of the Cananea, Taqul & Pacific road. In old Mexico, from Bata motal to Chumeampaco. Sonora. a dis tance of IS miles, has beep determined. The other extensions are: Stromberg City to Central City, on th 1'nlon Pacific: Elgin. Or., to Joseph, on the O. R. & N.. a distance of 63 miles: a line from Fallon, New. to Hazen. on the Southern Pacific, a distance of 16 miles, and a line from Santa Cruz to the cement works on the Southern Pacific, a distance of 15 miles. REBATE CASE DISMISSED Court Finds It Has No Jurisdiction Under JClkins Act. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Dec. 4. Judge John F. Phllipps. in the United States District Court for the "Western District of Mis souri, today delivered an opinion hold ing that his court was without Jurisdiction in the cases brought here by the Federal Government charging the Missouri Pacific the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe. and other railways with giving rebates on shipments of salt in Kansas and on coal In Colorado, and other products in viola tion of the Elkins act. The motion of the railways to quash the proceedings was'grantcd. On March 23. 1902. at the instigation of the Attorney-General's office at "Wash ington, Judge Phllipps granted a tem porary order restraining the Missouri Pa cific the Santa Fe. the Chicago & Alton, the Burlington and the Rock Island Rail way Companies from giving alleged re bates on various products. Last Summer M D. Purdy. Assistant Attorney-General, brought additional proceedings, citing the officials of the railways named, for con tempt. In the allegation that they had vio lated the court's order In continuing to give rebates. The contempt proceedings were argued in Judge Phllipps court on November 18. when the attorneys for the railways moved that the proceedings be quashed, claiming that the court was without Jurisdiction. The grounds of the decision in Judgo Phllipps opinion today are substantially as follow?: The original bill of complaint, on which th restraining order wan cranted. March 25. 1002. was filed at the Instance of the Attorney-General of the United States predi cated on alleged violation of the inter state, commerce law In granting rebate on shipments of grain and packing-house pro ducts from Kansas City to Eastern points. This suit was based upon the conception of the Attorney-General that the United States had a right to resort to the United States Circuit Court in equity to carry out the policy of the Interstate commerce law and to enjoin railways generally from violating It. But "after the temporary restraining ordr was made and after the demurrer to original bill was argued and submitted, the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Missouri Pacific Railway vs. United States. ISflth United. States Reports, decided that the United States Circuit Court had no Jurisdiction to grant such relief; so when the restraining order was issued by the United States Circuit Court for th Western District of Missouri., the court vas without Jurisdiction to make it; and. therefore, the defendant could not be held to U In con tempt of tho court for violating an order which It was without Jurisdiction to make. "While what is known as the Elkins act. passed by Congress In February. 1003. au thorized such a proceeding by the United States District Attorney of the Jurisdiction where the offense was committed, this act being passed nearly a. year after the re straining order of March 23. 1W2. had no retroactive operation so as to validate that order. The concluding part of the court's opin ion follows: However reprehensible the conduct of the defendant railroad companies (if it be as alleged In these transactions) may have been or however much disposed this court bo to compel obedience to Its lawful mandates, it Is persuaded that It Is without authority In this proceeding to draw to It the question Involved, rightfully belonging to the Juris diction of the United States Circuit Courts for the Districts of Kansas and Colorado. Thus tho law is a perpetual Injunction on the Judge when called upon to exert Judicial power which he may not disregard without standing In contempt of his own conscience.
