IN HIGHEST COURT
No Escape From Punishment
for Rebating Under the
Elkins Law.
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'under the statute repealed.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

ter. The defendants arraigned with Judge

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.

Blood-Poisoning, Prostrating
Diseases from which it is
Hard to Recover.
The Best Course to Pursue Is to Take
Bood'i SaraaparlUa.
Convalescence from the grip and all
other diseases that poison the blood
and weaken the whole system should
be promoted by every means at one's
command. Careful attention has been
found to be as' important after these
diseases, which have been so preva
lent this winter, as during them.
Hood's Sarsaparllla Is of great serv
ice In convalescence, because it rids
the blood of any lingering poison, re
stores the appetite, aids the digestion.
Renews the Strength, and builds up
the whole system. In cases where a
cathartic is needed. Hood's Sarsaparllla
is greatly aided by Hood's Pills, the
tonic cathartic, peculiarly well adapt
ed to the weak and run down.
Stck Two Months "Hood's Sarsapa
rllla has cured me of the grip. I was
sick for two months and was tired
and weak and could not do any work.
Finally I sent for a bottle of this medi
cine, and when I had taken half of it
I could do the housework. I recom
mend Hood's to all who have the grip."
