An Issue That Is Important as Relating to the Interstate Law. Washington, - Nov. 12. Two weeks ago the Supreme court made an order fixing for the first Monday In March the hearing of the case of Theodore f. Brown, vs. John AV. Walker, United States- marshal for the western dis trict of Pennsylvania. Today the or der was modified, by advancing the case two months, and it will be argued In January, after the cases already set down for hearing on the first Monday of that month. This la the case coming up from the circuit court for the west ern district of Pennsylvania, Involving the validity of the amendment to the Interstate commerce law, projecting from punishment person who testify as to violations of the law, although they themselves may be connected with the violation. Brown Is auditor of a railroad and he refused to testify before the grand Jury concerning certain al leged violations of the law, planting himself upon the constitutional protec tion .to persons called upon to testi fy . when to do so would Incriminate themselves. He was committed to the custody of the marshal for contempt of court, having persisted In his re fusal to testify after being warned by the Judge. He sued for his release on a writ of habeas corpus, but the cir cuit Judge refused to discharge him, holding that he was fully protected by the provisions of the law referred to. He then appealed to the Supreme court of the United States. The case Is considered to be one of the most important, as far as It relates to the Interstate law, which the court has ever been called upon to consider, for if the amendment to .the. law under which it arises shall be held to be Inop erative, it Is conceded that the penal ties Imposed by the law for secret rate cutting by rebate or otherwise cannot be enforced. . .
