THE NORTHERS PACIFIC.
Test Case to Be Made to Determine
Constitutionality ot Rales Or
dered by Hoard.
Ol.TMriA, "Wash.. April 22. (Special.)
Suit was pommencwl in th Superior
t ourt of Thurston County today by the
gtato against the Northern Paclnc Rail
road to compel the road to adopt and
follow out the rules and regulations laid
down by the State Railroad Cognmission.
which went into effect February 1. grov
erninfr the selling of tickets and handling
of passenger traffic on all lines in the
state. The case Is a test suit and will
be bitterly fought by the railroads, who
hold that the rules in question. Nos. 1
and 3, are unconstitutional and the Com
mission has no right to enforce them.
The complaint charge the Northern
Pacific wttb violating rule 1 on all Its
roads and branches in the state, by
charging and collecting from passengers
who pay their transportation on board
train, sum in excess of -tba- maximum
rate provided by law, amounting to 10
cents on all fares up to J2, and issuing
a rebate slip for this excess. This is
prohibited by rule 1 of the railroad regu
lations as promulgated by the Commis
sion. Rule 2 makes the posting of copies of
the rules necessary and the state alleges
that the railroad failed to do this. Rule
S prohibits the railroads from detaching
a greater amount of mileage than that
calculated at the rate of 3 cents a mile.
The state asks for an Injunction pro
hibiting the violation of rule 2 and a
mandatory injunction and sufficient de
cree to compel the observance of all rules
and regulations.

RATS COST $3500 EACH
Heavy Expense to Stamp Out Traces
of Plague In Seattle.
SEATTLE. Wash., April 22. (Special.)
Nine plague-infected rats have been
caught since the fight to stamp out all
traces of plague in this city was started
and it has cost the city just exactly 131.
500. This makes the cost of catching and
killing a plague-carrying rat in Seattle
$3500 each. Dr. Frank S. Bourns, in
charge of the plague fight here, says that
San Francisco haB paid out more money
in the campaign against plague rats
than has Seattle, but more rats have
been caught, so the cost for San Fran
cisco has been reduced to $2500 a rat. Of
course, the campaign here has resulted
in cleaning up the city and accomplish
ing other desired results, but the visible
results have been nine infected rats at
$3500 each.
