JUDGMENT PASSED

ey SUPREME COURT A Number of Rulings Made by Highest Tribunal in the Land Yesterday. MOODY'S FIRST DECISION NEY YORK'S STOCK TRANSFER CASE DECLARED VALID OHIO BANK CASES WERE DISMISSED FROM DOCKET. Publishers' Press. Waantngton, Jan. 7. In an opinion by Justice Brewer the supreme court dismissed the so-called Canton bank wrecking cases dealing with questions Involved in the failure last spring of the Canton (Ohio) State bank. There were five of the Canton cases before the court, representing 25 indictments, and of the five two were against Corwin D. Bachtel, cashier of the bank, apd one each against William L. Da vis, a vice president and director; Charles H. Van Horn, teller, and Har vey II. Miller, a customer. These and 19 other indictments were returned by the grand jury of Stark county last May, under what is known as the Ohio free banking law of the state, which provides for imprisonment from -one to ten yearsof any officer or agent of a bank who in any way attempts to deceive or defraud. The Indicted men made an immediate effort to secure release by means of writs of habeas corpus, and failing In the state courts, urougnt tneir suits to the supreme court. As that court refused to take cognizance of the case, they met with no better success. They relied entirely on establishing the unconstitutionality of the law under which' the proceeding against them was brought. contending that as the punishment provided for was made only to banks incorporated under that statute, there was discrimination such as to prevent equal treatment before the law In that provision was intended to apply to some members of a class of persons, and not to the class as a whole. The effect of the supreme court order will be to leave the cases in the state courts, at least for the present. The supreme court of the United States announced Its decision in the stubbornly fought contest over street car privileges In Cleveland, Ohio. The opinion of the court was presented by Justice Peckham and affirmed the decision of the United States circuit court for the northern district of Ohio. The suit involved the right to operate a street car line on Central avenue, Cleveland, for which both the old company, the Cleveland Electric and the new, the Forest City, contended, the former under a franchise, it urged, was perpetual, or good until 1913, and the latter under an ordinance passed in 1904. granting to it a "renewal of the right to operate a line on Central avenue." The old company asked for injunction against the city, and the new company, which was granted by Judge Taylor, who also held that the franchise of the old company expired March 22, 1905. The city was prohibited from putting tbe Forest City company in possession of the other company's tracks under the ordinance of 1904, because of its invalidity, and the Forest City company was enjoined from asserting any right of its own to the tracks. The finding was unsatisfactory to 'all parties, and all appealed to the supreme court, but the decision of the supreme court leaves the case just where the decision of the circuit court left it. The controversy between the Ohio Valley National bank and the receiver, Hullitt, of the insolvent First National bank of Hillsboro, Ohio, as to whether the former bank was a stockholder in the latter when it went into bankruptcy, and hence, liable for "assessments made by the comptroller of the treaury, was decided by the supreme court in favor of the latter. The Valley bank had $10,000 worth of the other bank's stock, as part security for a loan. The lean was never paid, and the note was credited with as much of the debt as the stock stood for. The circuit court of appeals for the sixth district held that by this transaction the bank made itself the owner of the stock, and that opinion was sustained. The decision was Bncc""?.c-cl by Judge Day. In deciding the case cf Albert J. Hatch vs. Edr-ard Rardon. the latter a peace oScer cf New York, favorably to Reardon, the supreme ccurt of the United States passed on the validity of the New .York stock transfer tax law, in e"fct holding it to be not in contravention o the constitution and thus sustain? the decision cf the supreme corrt cf N"w York. The case of Wilson vs. the secretary of the trrasury. in which Wilson challenged the rirht of the secretary to pay r.or'v r-crssary to secure the titl? of th" Tr- r.ch citnpany to the Panarra r-.nl rr'p?rty was decided by the s'.iTcr::e o;rt against Wilson's contention. Justice Merc!- handed down his first 'cp'tticn in suptr-me- court in the cje of S'ir-p"5h!r?. Wocdlif & Co. vs. Br.sh rtiirr?. trustees of the Sonth?ro Crr urd 7cnd7 company of Tennrscco, emrnn to the court on a certificate, end held that "an assignee rf the claim for wages earned within s-ce months brfor? the commence--it o? prcce'-dings in bankruptcy - n'nst a ba-'rupt drhtr, is entitled i j-irty f r.iyrr.rr.t unir the bankri'm th? assignment oc curred p-ir- to the commencement of ich lan'.rr :rt proceedings."

Board of Engineers Make Re port oft the Needs of the Ohio Rover OTHER WASHINGTON NEWS ANNUAL REPORT ON IMMIGRA TION SHOWS THAT OVER A MILLION ALIENS CAME TO AMERICA'S SHORES IN 1906. Publishers Pressl Washington, Jan. 7. The board ot engineers appointed to examine into the needs of the Ohio river between Pittsburg and Cairo . in . the way of navigation, completed Its report and it will come before the river and harbor board for review before being submitted to congress. It is said the original board recommended the im provement of the river by dredging a channel nine feet deep between the points named. The river and harbor reviewing board will meet in the city in the course of a day or two to con sider the report. Secretary Taft announced that Col. Edward S. Godfrey, Ninth cavalry. will be appointed brigadier general, to succeed Gen. J. Franklin Bell, pro moted to be. major general. It was announced at the war d partment that the commission having in charge the erection in this city of an equestrian statue of Gen. George B. McClellan fixed on May 2 as the date for unveiling, instead of May 15, as previously stated. George B. Cortelyou announced his retirement as chairman of the Republican national committee. Harry S. New, of Indiana, vice chairman, will become acting chairman of the com mittee. According to the annual report of the commissioner of immigration. Frank Sargent, the fiscal year ended June 30. 1906, produced a record eclipsing all former figures on imml gration. During that period, the report says, the population of the United States was increased by the admission of 1,100,735 immigrant aliens and 65,' 618 non-immigrant aliens entered at Its ports, making the total admission of 1,166,353. The increase over last year's record of 1,059.755 (1,026,499 aliens plus 33,256 transits) was 106, 598. During the fiscal year 1905, 11,480 alieas were rejected, and during the past year 12,432. Of the immigrant aliens, that is those who Intended set tling in the United States, there were 764,463 males and 336,272 females. The tendency of Immigration during the past few years to gather its steady increase from the countries of south ern Europe is referred to. "Without exception," says the report, "the countries from which we fermerly obtained the greater part of our foreign population and which are inhabited by races nearly akin to our own, have supplied us with smaller numbers during the past year than during 1905 Ireland 17,950, England 15,218, Sweden 3,281, Germany 3,010, Denmark 1,229 and Scotland 1,111 less. On the other hand, the four most considerable gains are: Italy, 51,641; Russia. 30.768; Greece, 8,974, and Turkey (in Europe and Asia), 5,165. Immigration from Austria-Hun gary amounted to 265.138; Italy, in cluding Sicily and Sardinia, 273,120; Russian empire and Finland, 215,665; China, 1,544; Japan, 13,835, and the West Indies, 13,650. The immigration from southern and eastern Europe, the commissioner says, is a result of general unrest existing among labor ing classes of those sections, which is encouraged or even fomented by the agents scouring the country ior passengers, and the commissioner says more drastic measures are required to effect a discontinuance of the steam ship practices. That the physical and mental quality of the aliens we are now receiving is much below that of those who have come in former years, he says, is evident. The north Atlantic and north central states together received 90 per cent of the entire im migration orl06, tne soutn 4 per cent. As in previous years, the bulk of the immigrants were destined avowedly to a few of the large centers of population. Dr. Lewis Kloptsch, editor of the Christian Herald, New York, trans mitted to the American National Red Cross the following cablegram from Dr. McCrea, chairman of the Chinese relief committee at Chinkiang, dated January 5: "Viceroy Tuan Fong estimates 4,000,000 destitute missionaries confirmed. Area affected nearly equal to New York state. Winter on. Crisis unprecedented. Suffering intense. Deaths beginning. Five months to harvest. Making Its Own Trouble.
