OMAHA TCU 624-661 C'uae On In Which Wihuh Road Paid Duty on El ported Goods and t'ouetarnee Wouldn't Refund. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. In an opinion by Justice Brewer the supreme court of the fritted States today derided the cose of the Wabash Railroad company against William I 'parse, executor of Charles K. I'earne, In volving the queetlon an to whether a com mon carrier retains a Hen upon Imported tnwjd shipped In bon'd to a Riven point and upon which tariff charges have been paid by the company In transit. The gooda In volved In this rase consisted of four boxen of rurlna purchased In Japan by Charles K. Pearse and shipped via the. Canadian raclflc Railroad, company's steamers to Vancouver and thence over the Canadian Pacific and connecting lines to St. Paul, Minn., where the railway company was re quired to and did pay the tariff charges, amounting to $264. The goods were trans ferred to the Wabash company and by It delivered at St. I,ouls. Pearse resisted the claim of the railroad to hold the goods until the money paid on account of the tariff should be refunded, and the St. Ixmla court of apnea! sustained this view. That decision was reversed by today's opinion, In which It was held "that It Is common law duty of the carrier to receive, carry and deliver goods and by virtue of these obligations It Is entitled to retain posses sion until Its charges are paid. Nor In this Hen confined to charges for transportation Affirms Pure Pood Law. The United States supreme court today rendered an opinion sustaining th validity of the New Tork statute relating to the adulteration of food products and also held that It applies to a contract covering the purchaso of coffee In Guatemala, which was afterward brought to New Tork. The rasa was that of George H. Crosnman A Bro., New York Importers, against Theodore O. Lurman, a merchant, who made a contract to purchase coffee of a prescribed grade at a certain specified price. When the coffee arrived In New Tork It was believed to be of the requisite grade, but it was declared to have been colored. Mr. Lurman made the point that the coloring process was equivalent to adulteration and the New York courts sustained the contention, re llevlng the buyer from the requirements of the contract. The opinion handed down today was by Justice White and affirmed the decision of the New York supreme court. He said the New York law was not repugnant to the commerce clause of the constitution, as had been claimed. Open Bids for Bonds. Fids for the Philippine friar lands bonds were opened at the State department to day. The highest bid for the purchase of the entire Issue of 17,(100,000 was from liar vcy Fluke & Sons, associated with Flske & Robinson and the National City bank of New York. Their figures were for all or none of the bonds, JKT7.577. and for all or any part of the .bonds 11U6.57. There were eighty bidders In all and much higher fig' ures were offered for small lots of the bonds. secretary Hay at Ilia Dealt For the first time In several weeks Sec retary Hay appeared at the State depart ment today. . The secretary Is looking well, considering his long confinement to the house, but Is still somswhat weak. One of the first callers was the Japanese mln i later, Tkahlra, and the two had a long I talk about the situation In the far east. The general tenor of advices which ware to hand were to the effect that the situa tion on the whole was slightly more pa cific. The last Russian note goes far to ward recognizing Japan's predominant In terests in Corea, though not conceding a similar interest on Japan's rights In Man churia. Schwab's Testimony Baals of Report. In view of the recent testimony of Charlet M. Schwab before the courts that the Car negie and Bethlehem steel companies had always had an understanding with the Navy department as to the price of armor before their bids were submitted, the house committee on naval affairs today author ized an additional question on. this point to be submitted to Rear Admiral O'Nell, who In his testimony before the committee last week stated that he believed there had been an understanding between these two companies regarding their bids. Admiral Q'Neil now has his testimony before him for revision and the committee requested that he Include In It a full state ment as to the Navy department's side of this matter snd to state specifically whether Mr. Schwab's statement Is true so far as It refers to the Navy department. The committee today heard Rear Ad miral Endlcott, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, regarding the estimates for appropriation for the bureau.
