INVOLVE EVERYONE
i
Question of Court Decisions
on Railroad Rates, Meat
Inspection and "Book
Trust" Among Those at
Issue.
WASHINGTON, Oct. .-Arguments,
the decisions on which will affect vir
tually every twin, woman and child In
the United States, were begun today bo
fore the I'nlted States Supremo Court.
As an Illustration, every owner of rail
road stocks or bonds In the country, and
every person Interested In State taxation
questions, nnd every person who pays to
rldo on trains. Is Interested In the case
of the Norfolk nnd Western ltallroad
Company against the State of West Vir
ginia. This Is ono of the cases set for
early argument by the Supreme Court,
and Is the first on the list,
1WI1II0 harking back to the question of
confiscatory rates, the argument In this
ease rests on the point whether any one
ralo can bo confiscatory, unless the en
tire rate system of which It Is a part
Is confiscatory. Assuming the contention
of the railroad attorneys that the two
cent fare law results In the company not
receiving enough revenue from Its Intra
state passenger traffic to yield It a profit
to bo correct, and this Is virtually con
ceded by the attorneys for the State, tho
question Is put up to the court Is that
sufficient to declare the rate confiscatory?
Tho State of West Virginia holds that
Jt Is not; that all the business of tho
Norfolk and Western within tho State Is
profitable, and that It Is beside the point
to pick out the passongcr traffic, and
Bay that this particular lino of business
docs not pay. Incidentally, tho figures
of tho State's exports, as produced In
tho lower courts, show that tho revenue
from tho 2 cent tickets gives tho com
pany Just about operating expenses, so
that a clear case Is established, na this
would yield no return on the Investment.
Tho company's experts figure that It does
not even pay thorn to haul the business
lit the 2 cent rate, but that It Is not the
question which Is put up to the Supremo
Court.
This question Is made of more Interest
becauso of the recent 6 per cent, rate de
cision of the Interstate Commerce Com
Imlsslon, which suggested to the rail
roads. In denying tho full measure of In
creases In freight rates asked for, to
ralso their passenger rates as many of
them were unprofitable.
Another case set for early argument of
great Interest to railroad men Is that of
tho Pullman Company against "W. V.
Knott, as Comptroller of the State of
Florida. This case concerns the validity
of the State act taxing tho gross earn
ings of all sleeping and dining cars with
in the limits of tho State U4 per cent..
In addition to ad valorem and license
taxes.
Argument on the so-called "boolc trust"
caso will also bo begun at once. This Is
tho caso of I. and U. Straus (R. H.
Macy & Co.) against the American Pub
lishers' Association. Becauso Mncy &
Co. rofuscd to agree to maintain a fixed
retail price for copyrighted books sold to
It by members of the association. It Is
charged that all Its members refused to
sell their books and publications to the
department store, causing It a loss of
$125,000. The suit Is under tho anti-trust
law, and Is to recover treblo damages.
A moat Interesting case Is thut of Carl
Oliver, against the State of Texas. Oliver
Is a Negro Indicted for the murder of
Hubert D Stanley In June. 1910. Negroes
were excluded from the Grand Jury.
The effectiveness of the meat Inspection
act Is thought by Government officials
to hang upon tho decision of the caso of
tho United States against Charles Lewis,
Lewis Howard, Fred Williams and James
McBcc. These men were charged with
violation of the meat Inspection law In
destroying Government seals on freight
cars containing meat nnd meat products.
Who should bear the expense of main
taining an Immigrant while ho Is under
suspicion of having some disease, and an
a result Is detained in quarantine aftor
being allowed to leavo the ship on which
he came to this country. Is the point to
be argued In the case of the United States
against the Holland-American Line. Tho
Government Is suing for J2l67.f0 for main
tenance of a number of Immigrants o de
talned. Whether the code of Alabama Is In
violation of the Thirteenth Amendment Is
the question In the case of the United
States against L. A. Reynolds and G. W.
Ilroughton. It Is charged that the de
fendant held E. W. Fields In a state of
peonage to work out a debt.
Three cases In regard to the Oklahoma
guaranty of bank deposits law have been
eet for early argument before the court.
A caso somewhat Blmllar to thai of the
Norfolk and Western against Wwt Vir
ginia Is that of the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company against North Dakota,
which has also been set for early 'argu
ment. This cbbo Involves the constitu
tionality of a law of that State fixing coal
rateB so low as to yield the carrier noth
ing for tho lire of his property, though
providing enough revenue for the actual
movement of tho coat. The lower court
held that If all the Intra-State business
showed a profit, no lngle rate could be
held to be confiscatory.
The famous Terminal Railroad Asso
ciation of St. Louis will figure In the case
of the United States against that Asso
cUtlnn, when the Government will argue
that the order of the Supreme Court In a
previous care has not been carried out In
many particulars by the lower court, and
therefore further action Is desired.

tc come to a decision on Representative
Henry's resolution making the cotton
emergency currency bill privileged along

Mr. Henry endeavored by tying the
five bills In one resolution to be able to
compromise with the other members who
are in favor of passing tho Federal re
serve act amendments, which are re
quested by the Federal Reserve Board.
These amendments are slight, the most
Important ono being to allow Federal
reservo banks to deposit their reserves
In other banks nnd not keep them In
their vaults, the effect being an extension
of credit In the South alone of JSOO.OQO.OOO.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-MaJor General
Hugh I.. Scott, affectionately known to
his lurther ofTlters In the army its th
"In linn Medicine Man," probably will bo

when Major General W. W. Wothrrspoon,
the . resent head, retires In the Imme
diate futuii' on account of age.
General Scott's power nvr the Indian
was demonstrated recently on the Mexi
can bordpr whnn the Apaches took th
wnrpnth nnd escaped from their reser
vation to tho almost Impenetrable, ' bad
lands" of Arizona. To have captured
them liy forco would have entailed tho
Iosh of many llvrs. General Scott went
t. tiu-in iilono nnd unarmed and drew
them bark to their nlleglance.
General Scott Is a native of Kentucky,
and uas graduated from tho military
utunm.i In 1S7C. An n cnptnln and lieu
tnnMt rolemel he took an nctlvo part In
the Ind'an campnlgns in the West. He
