The physicians also found that the heavy wrapping cord which was about the neck, had been drawn into the flesh about half an inch all around the neck and a portion of her hair was caught under the cord at the back of the neck. From these facts the officers have drawn the conclusion that the murderer was hiding in the closet when Mrs. Krause entered the house and as she came into the front room upstairs, which she was papering, he struck her with a piece of scantling which was found in the room.

RAIL COMMISSION ACT HELD VALID BY HIGH COURT I FAMOUS CASE DECIDED IN FAVOR OF STATE BY SUPREME COURT. THE LAW IS NOT VIOLATED.

Roads Are Compelled to Stop Trains at Dwight, Small Station in Polk County. ACTION HAD SMALL BEGINNING. MADISON, June act creating the state railroad rate commission was held valid by the state supreme court today. The decision was made in what is known as the famous case which was first argued about three mouths ago. In the decision the court holds that the powers of the commission were not exceeded in ordering the Minneapolis, St.

Paul Sault Ste. Marie Railway company to stop its trains at Dwight, Polk county. Railroad Took Appeal. The case was taken to the supeme court on an appeal by the railroad company from the judgment of the circuit court of Dane county affirming the reasonableness of the order of the commission in tho Dwight controversy. Dwight has a milk skimming station and the farmers were compelled to haul their cream to Deronda, three and one-half miles distant.

The commission ordered one of the four trains daily to stop at Dwight, tho railroad resisted in the circuit court and appealed from the affirmative verdict, upon the following grounds: (1) That the order made by the defendant was unreasonable and confiscatory; (2) that the defendant commission had no power to make such order; and (3) that the making of the order was prohibited by the old statute enacted in 1874, providing that trains must stop at every town or village of 200 or more inhabitants and a postoffice. The commission disputed all of these points, holding, through the attorney general, that the needs of the town justified an improvement of service; that its power to demand such improvement was unquestioned and that the old 1874 statute, so far as it applied to this case, had been abrogated by the new law of 1905. The commission declared that the stoppage at Dwight would entail an additional expense to the railroad of 25 cents per train. Sermonette to Roads. Interesting in connection with the case is the on the duty of railroads contained in the brief of the attorney general.

is but elementary to say that railroads are not private corporations, nor are they organized and operated solely for their purpose of profit to the stockholders thereof, though a contrary opinion may obtain in some quarters. They are public institutions, controlling the great highways of the state, which owe a duty to the state and to the public, as well as their stockholders, and within constitutional limitations, they must be operated for the convenience and accommodation of the people. inhabitants of small communities who require service by railroad corporation are as certainly entitled thereto as those living in larger communities, though perhaps not entitled to so great or extensive a service. Reasonable service should be furnished smaller communities if it may be done without seriously interfering with the business of the tho corporation in its service at other points and where the service required is reasonable and not confiscatory of the property of such TO FLEET, Australia Is Busily Engaged in Preparing Programme for the Americans.
