OHIO LAW SUSTAINED. Snpreme Co art Decides Trains Mast Stop Wilson Tariff Derision. I Washington. February 24 In the United Supreme Court, to day. a decision waa banded down by Justlca Harlan, construing the constitutlonaUty of the State law of Ohio regulating the stoppage of through trains at stattnoa in the State.

The law requires that any raUroad company in the State shall1 have at least three trains a day. If so many are run, and stop at any: station en its lino containing not lees than 3.000 population. The action was begun against the Lake Shore company because of its refusal to obey the law by having as many as of its trains stop at the town of West Cleveland. The railroad company contended that the statute was antagonistic to the Federal constitution in that it Interfered with commerce between the States. The court held this rnntpnilnn to ba unfounded, saying that the question involved was only that of subserving the public convenience, and that the State had a right to legislate to that end.

Tha judgment of the Supreme Court of Ohio was, therefore, affirmed. Justices Brewer. Shiras. White and Peck ham duwented. and Justices Shiras and White dWivered dissenting opinions.

Justice White based his dissent upon the ground of discrimination against througn tra'ns. Justice Shiras contended that trains running from one State to another, carrying mails, were subject to tne control of Congress, and not to the control of State legislatures. The question was. be said, one of convenience of the entire Tubllc pot that of the local public alone. The Wilson Tariff.

The of Dunlap vs. the United States Was also disposed the decision being in the; interest of the United States. The case involves the validity of the provision in the Wilson tariff act, providing for a rebate of the tax on alcohol to be used In the arte and manufactures. It came to the United States court from the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second circuit. The opinion was rendered by Chief Fuller, and was against payment of rebates to the manufacturers.
