"A law which Indirectly accomplishes a like result by Imposing such" conditions upon the right to appeal or Judicial re lief as works an abandonment of the right rather than face the conditions upon which It Is obtained or may be obtained is also unconstitutional. It may therefore be aald thnt the penalties for disobedience are for fines so heavy and Imprisonment so severe as to Intimidate the company and Its of ficers from resorting to the courts to test the validity of the 'legislation, the result Is the same as If the lew in terms pro hibited the company from seeking judicial construction ' of laws which deeply affect Its rights." History of: Case. Tha proceeding In Young's case grew out of an effort by the Minnesota fed eral court on May 31, last, to restrain Mr. Young and other state officials from executing or attempting to execute the rate law. Certain stockholders of the Northern Pa cific company fjlcd.a suit at the same time asking for an Injunction to prohibit-the state officials from carrying the law Into effect on tha ground that the rate fixed wss so low as to make Impossible returns to the company on Its investment. Tho question was granted on September 23 on the ground that the law was confis catory, and Its promulgation was Imme diately followed by the commencement of nn action by Attorney Oeneral Young In the Ramsey county district court, In which that court was asked to direct the Issu ance of writ of mandamus commanding the Northern Pacific company to comply with the rate law. The state court Im mediately Issued the writ. In compliance with Mr. Young's petition, and this pro ceeding precipitated'. a' sharp conflict be tween the federal and the state courts. . Mr. Young was Summoned before the former to gIVe an. account of his defiance of the court's Injunction, and, falling to make va satisfactory .explanation, he was subjected to a fine of $100 for rontempt of court, and at the same time ordered to dis miss the case In the state court." ' " Refusing either,, to pay the fine or to dismiss the case, Mr. Young Immediately brought the case to the supreme court of the United States on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. He baaed his petition upon the grounds that the United States circuit court was without jurisdiction In the original proceedings, because there was no diverse citizenship, and that the suit instituted against him aa attorney general was In effect a suit against the state, and not against him. Jadg Harlaa Dissents. Justice Harlan deemed the cases of suf ficient Imnartance to luatlfv a 12.000 word dissension, taking the ground In support of the theory that the proceedings in the Young case wss a suit against the state and therefore not permissible under the constitution. He closed his statement. In the following words, "neither the words nor the policy, of the eleventh amendment will, under our former decisions, Justify any order of a federal court, the necessary effect of which will be to exclude a state from Its own courts. Buch an order at tended by such results cannot, I submit. be sustained consistently with the powers which the states, according to the uniform declarations of this court possesses under Ihe constitution. I am Justified by what this court has heretofore- declared, la now saying thai'' the wis. men -who framed the constitution- apd" mfha 'caused the adoption of the eleventh amendment .would .have been startled by ' the suggestion that state of the union can he prevented by an order of a subordinate federal court, from being represented by Its attorney general In a suit brought by the state In one of Its own courts and that auch an order would be Inconsistent with the dignity of the states aa Involved In their constitu tional immunity Jor the Judicial process of '.he federal courts (except In the limited esses in which they may constitutionally be made parties In thla court) and would be attended by most pernicious results. Attorney General Talks. ST. PAUL Minn.. March 23. Attorney general Young, on learning of the supreme .ourt's decision, said that ao far aa his rase was concerned, he would simply pay hts fine of $1. Until he had read the rea son of the court for declaring the law un- constitutional he could give no Intelligent opinion of its effect in this state. The tctlon of v the United States district court f Minnesota, which resulted In Attorney Oeneral Young being cited for contempt. was the result of the railroad corporations In Minnesota bringing Injunction suits against the Minnesota Railroad commission and certain shippers to prevent them from tutting Into effect tha commodity rate law passed by the last legislature.

ROAD'S RIGHT TO Ct!T MEAT RATE Decision LIt Mock and aianahtered Prodaet Hot Interdependent. WASHINGTON, MArch 23. The case of the Interstate Commerce commission against the Chicago Great Western Rail way company, known as the meat case. and Involving the right of the company to reduce the freight rate on lives stock products without making a similar reduc tion In the rate on live stock Itself, was decided by the supreme court of the United States today In favor of the company. The suit was instituted In the Interest of the city of Chicago, It being alleged that the change had worked Incalculable hardship to Chicago by diverting shipments of live stock from that city to St. Paul and to Missouri rover points. The Interostate Commerce commission found that the change of the rate on one article without a corresponding change on the other was unlawful, but the.courts refused to up hold that view. BERG POR PUBLIC PRINTER (Continued from First Page.) procured this liquor on the outside and did quite a business. The brief of plaintiff In error states that he drank some of It himself and gave some of It to his friends and visitors to drink. Hallowell as an allottee Indian, it was contended, had a perfect right to bring liquor upon his prop erty and either drink it himself or. give It away. The lower court saw the action of Hallowell from a different point of view. Hallowell having been' arrested for 'ille gally bringing liquor upon Indian reserva tion in violation of Melkeljohn law, he was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of 1100 and costs and to be Imprisoned In the county jail for sixty days. Thomas L. Sloan, attorney for tbe. Indian, . asserted la .ills brief before the supreme court that the acts charged against his olIerA did not Constitute a crime against Vie law of the United States and that the Omaha reser vation In Thurston county Is not a place within the exclusive Jurisdiction of the United States. The supreme court avoided a decision of the question raised by Mr. Sloan as to the right of the Indian allottee by dismissing the appeal of the plaintiff In error. Draft of Another Treaty. " Major John McLaughlin, who bears the dis tinction of having executed more treaties with Indians of the United States than any' other official connected with the Depart ment of the Interior, arrived In Washington yesterday to submit his report In connection with the cession of certain lands in the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River reserva tions In North and South 'Dakota. It will probably be a week or ten days before Major McLaughlin's report Is ready to sub mit to the secretary .of the Interior. It Is In rough draft and will contain 'minutes of several councils held between the ' red- men and himself In relation to the cession of these lands to the United States, to be opened up for homestead purposes. About 2,500,000 acres are Involved in the treaty with the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Indians, the great majority of It being lo cated in South Dakota, but fifteen town ships jylng In North Dakota., .'Major. Me Laughlln says that the agreeinent reached Is wholly satisfactory o" the' Indian, and when -thla Immense body of land-is opened It will make additional home for-thousands of Intending settlers. -' Personal Mention.

' NEflf CIVIC ANTUta BILL Federation Measure Introduced by Representative Hepburn. RELIEF FOR ORGANIZED LABOR Effort Made to Obviate Suppressive Effects on Labor I'nlon of Recent nrente'Canrt Decision. WASHINGTON. March 23.-The bill pre pared by the National Civic federation after conferences with the president and representatives of capital and of labor to remove the stringency of the Sherman anti-trust law, was Introduced In tha house today by Representative Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the committee on Interstate and foreign commerce. It was referred by Speaker Cannon to that committee for con sideration and report and It Is understood that President Roosevelt will, In a message to congress, make a recommendation con cerning It. ; There la no Information on which to frame a prediction of the failure or success of ths bill In the house nor will there be until hearings have been given In committee. Party leaders today profosaed to be wholly Ignorant of the details of the bill and to have only a general understanding of Its purpose. One of the most Interesting sections of the federation! bill Is that which seeka to relieve organised labor from the suppres sive effects of the recent supreme court decision declaring laborv unions to be con spiracies In restraint of trade and therefore unlawful. The bill,, broadly speaking, alms to restore the unions their right of peace able existence, including the right to strike, but leaving thenf" still amenable to the Sherman act . In the matter of boycotts, picketing and similar coercive practlcea. The section Is aa follows: Nothing In said act approved July J, 1890, or In this act la intended, nor snail any provision thereof hereafter be enforced, so as to Interiere wun or 10 restrict nujr right of employes to strike for any cause, or to combine or to contract with each other or with employers for the purpose of peaceably obtaining rrom employers satisfactory terms for their labor, satisfac tory conditions of employment, or so aa to Interfere with or to restrict any right of employers for any cause to discharge all or any of their employes, or to combine or to contract with each other or with em ployes for the purpose of peaceamy ob taining labor on satisfactory terms. REVENUE OF THE RAILROADS (Continued from First Page.) In 1907 than, for the corresponding period of the year previous. The returns from those roads Indicate that the panic had Its center in their territory, as there Is a more notable falling off In revenues from trafflo In this group during the panic months than on any other excepting the southern roads. The single New England road, taken as n illustration the New Tork, New Haven Hartford shows an Increase of over $1,000,000 In gross revenues and a decrease of about 1250,000 in the net. The two southern roads the Louisville Nashville and the Southern Increased their total revenues from traffic, their to tal operating expenses, and also their net Income from operation, over the corre sponding half year of 190. "Therefore, viewing the country aa a whole, from west to east and from north to south,'' the- outlook for -the railroads" bf the United States, ai shown by their own figures. Is net so disquieting as has been supposed; and these figures, It- must be remembered, Inolnde at least two months after th panld began In New York, dur ing a greater portion Of which time banks would not make loans or discounts and railroads In many parts of the country would not receive checka Mn payment of freight. i January Retarns Not Tabulated. "Although the returns to the commission for January have not yet been tabulated, Is probable that they will show that conditions have been worse ' than In De cember, but this Is also to be borne In mind that the month of January la gen erally the slackest month during the year, and February la also poor. There are, no doubt, Individual instances In which the revenues of roada have seriously declined during the last three months over corre spondlng periods for several years past, but there are also Individual instances In which, singular to say; the last three months have been as good as any corre spondlng three months in other years, and in one case the Oregon Railroad and Navi gation company the commission has been officially Informed that the last three months have been the best In the road's entire history. "There can be no question but that within the last three weeks there has been a strong upward tendency In freight rev enues, A greater volume of traffic Is moving today than haa been moved at any time during the last two, and, perhaps, three months. The figures of the Amerl can Railway association show that there is 'less surplu of ears at this time than at any period since October SO. This prom ises an early return to more normal oondl tlons, and railroad men generally are more optimistic than they have been since the Knickerbocker Trust company closed Ita doors. But the Increase from 1433,000.000 tn 190 to $r.23,000,000 In 1907. on the sys tems with which I have dealt, still leaves a larger net Income for 1907 than for 190 by nearly 114.000,000." PROCEEDINGS Or THE HOUSE Alleged Seeeb of Mr. Snlser Stricken From Record. WASH INOTON, March 23. A scene Somewhat out of the ordinary was enacted In the house of representatives today be cause of a charge made by Mr. Mann (III.) that Mr. Bulger (N. T.) had put In th Congressional Record what purported to be a speech delivered by htm last Satur day, but which Mr. Mann charged was not the one delivered. It all had to do with Mr. Bulser's claim that he and not Mr. Mann was the author of the legislation which brought the Department of Com merce and Labor Into being. A resolution offered by 'Mr. Mann to ex punge the printed speech from the. record waa adopted by a atrlct party vote, but not until after the house had been treated to a bitter denunciation of Mr. Mann by Mr. Sulser and several lively tilts b tween the latter and the spesker. Mr. Sillier characterised Mr. Mann as "pettifogging lawyer, mean and con temptible," for which he was called to order by the speaker, with the admonition that such language could not be used to ward a member. Twice afterwards, I seeking to Justify his claim of authorship, he was Interrupted by the speaker wun similar warning. Anticipating that hi speech would be ruled out, and with th view of getting it back Into the record. Mr. Sulser resorted to a piece of strategy by trying to have the speech read and later endeavoring to read It himself, but the spesker Insisted that he could only ad dress himself to the resolution to expunge. Smarting under the action of the rernbll cans. Mr. Sulser for tha rest of the da posed as an obstructionist.

Strenuous objection to, ,the speech of Mr. Bulier of New Tork, on Saturday, as ir appeared In the Congrerfslon Record of that day was made In the house' today by Mr. Mann of Illinois, who offered a resolution to ex punge it from, the record and substitute for It the speech that actually was de livered. Mr. Sulzer, In his remarks, had claimed that he and not Mr. Mann was entitled to the credit for the authorship of the law, creating a departments of commerce and labor, but Mr. Mann alleged that the facts aa tbey appeared In the record at complete variance with the speech and history. - By a strict party vote the resolution was adopted ayes, 162; nays, 91 and the speech was accordingly expunged from the record.

NEW TORK, March 23,-Acase which Is expected to develop many interesting and possibly some sensational features came up in the United States circuit court today when the trial of the suit of Emmanuel Phillips, president of the Union Refrig erator company of Milwaukee against the McClure company, publishers, for alleged libel waa 'begun. Phillips asks $100,000 damages, ' which he claims lie sustained through the publication In McClure's Mag atlne In November, December and January, 1905, and 1906, of a story charging lilm with accepting rebates ' from certain railroad?. The objectionable matter was printed In series of rtlcles(by Ray Stannard Baker. The charge came In connection with a report to the then governor of Wisconsin, now Senator LaFollette, of the State Rail way commission.'1 It Is not unlikely that Senator LaFollette may be called as a witness. ' Mr. Phillips, the plaintiff, was the flrtt witness called. He told of organizing the Union Refrigerator company of Wiscon sin. " 1 - Ray Stannard Baker called upon him In his office In January of 1906. he said. Mr. Phillips said lie "fold Mr. Baker that the Unloh compaiiy'never had received a dol- ar of commissions, and also told him that the railroad commissioners' expert exam iners had admitted that' they had made a mistake and-got the names of the Union and Northern companies mixed. Mr. Phillips said that In 1893 he was rice president Of the .' Northern Refrigerator company and owned one share of Its stock. It waa' true that the company had accepted eommtsslons, he said, but he declared none was accepted ' subsequent to January 1, 1903. Mr. Phillips said that at the con clusion of hla talk with Mr. Baker the lat ter said he was satisfied that a mistake had been made and that he would return to New Tork and write a retraction that he thought would be satisfactory.

ONLY A DEPOSITOR AT SNYDER Hebraskan Says, If Indicted, It Can Only Be In Connection With Bank In Which He Kent Ills Money. John A. Wlshard, one of the best known land and live stock men of Stanton county and well known In Omaha, was arrested Monday afternoon by United States Mar shal V. P. Warner upon Information from the marshal of the northern Texas district of the United States court. Mr. Wlshard was visiting Omaha on business and was stopping at the Arcade hotel, where Mar shal WArner arrested him. Mr. Wlshard waa taken before United States Commissioner Anderson and there learned that he was arrested under an In dictment found against him by the federal grand Jury of the northern Texas district charging him with an alleged violation of the United States national, banking laws under section B209 of the revised statutes of the United States. Mr. Wlshard promptly arranged for giving bond for his appear ance before the United States district court for the northern Texas district at aMrshall. He was arranging to leave for Texas In a day or two to look after some live stock and land Interests when arrested and only returned from Texas two weeks sgo. Might Be as Depositor. Mr. Wlshard said: "I have hot the slight est Idea why I have been Indicted, other than that It says 'for tho violation of sec tion 6209.' I am neither an officer nor a stockholder tn sny bank In Texas. I pre sume that the Indictment has something to do with the First National bank of Snyder, Tex., of which I have been a depositor and customer In a number of land and cattle deals covering a period of several years. The bank Is perfectly solvent, but I think that an Indictment has been found against a former cashier of that bank for some technical violation of the banking laws, and It Is possible that my Indictment may have some connection with that. I am ab solutely Ignorant of the nature of the charges against me, as I am wholly dis connected with any banking Institution In Texas. I shall' certainly go to Texas at the very earliest opportunity to answer the charges against me. NATURE IN FINE DECORATION Real Sprlna; Scene Depleted In Bran dels' Store by the Artist's Hand. The decorators at the Brandeis store have gone back to nature for their central theme of arrangement at the spring open ing this year and the thousands of Omaha women who viewed the finished achieve ment yesterday, approve the wisdom of It. The decoration has an appearance of simplicity that makes its beauty all the more attractive. The great rotunda of Brandeis store from Its dome down to the first floor Is one mass of spring blossoms. Either side of the light court forms an avenue of blossoming apple trees. The color laden branches reach out toward each other and the tips of twigs meet near the top of the court. Higher In the court is one mass of peach blossoms. The effect of the sun light through the dome of the light court shining through the millions Of orchard blossoms Is .beautiful. .Thq decoration Is on a massive scale charac teristic of the size of the Brandeis store. The . avenue of blossoming trees extends on the first floor even beyond the confines of the rotunda. . The chief charm of the scene lies in Its natural appearance. Brass urns of apple blossoms are shown at dif ferent points on the main floor. The rotunda scene Is particularly fine from the bridge on the second floor. On this floor, where the spring millinery opening and the formal display of women's ready to wear apparel are" In progress, there are many features of special beauty. The millinery department la decorated with primroses and Jar dinieres of apple blossoms. All tho lamps are coveredwlth beautiful and artistic shades. A Japanese garden, dainty enough for Madame Butterfly herself. Is shown in one corner of the women's suit section next to the south elevators. Imported costumes and hats are effectively shown In the charming nook. The Brandeis windows on Sixteenth street have been admired both for the beauty of their decoration and the ex quisite character of the merchandise. The window farthest south is in the coral shades and It reveals silks, gowns and hats In perfect harmony. Tha next widow is In turquoise colorings and the central figure is a Worth gown of auch magni ficence as to leave no doubt as to Its style origin. A Copenhagen, blue window shows two costumes with hats to match. Another window of blacks and whites re veals apparel that is exact in point of style and a window of tana and browns is another that Is very generally admired. It Is In this window that a properly clad maid Is shown, opening an exquisite im ported hat box. As a style display the showing this spring outranks any similar event In Brandela history. The showing of hats and coatumes ia on a more elaborate scale and there are more creation of famous designers than this store ever before as sembled. The opening continues through out the week. 1 TORNADO SWEEPS LOUISIANA East Feliciana Pariah Scene of Fatal StormMany Persons Are Injnrcd. BATON ROUGE, La., March 23.
