COMMERCE COURT RIVflJlSUPREME Except Iri Very Rare Cases Can Its Decisions Be Appealed. Washington, Kcb. 11. Invested with great power and given a place of alliiOBt llDiltlcBM authority over the industral and economic destiny of tho nation, tho now Court of Commerce formally "oiMiied for IxihIihhh" FYbruary 1. It in popularly called "the supremo court of railrouilw." It I a hlRher court than tho Intenitate Commerce cotnmllon, and ha appellant Jurisdiction over deelslona of tho contmlsalon. Kxcejit In rare cases there will lio no pxal to the L'nlted Slates auprenio court for ita dTlnloim. There are vast Intercuts at stake before this new tribunal, which was created by the present congress at Its aecond session. It marks a new and algnirieent step In advancing tho iwtr of the Federal government over the rallroml.i of the nation. It was created because President Taft saw that tho Interstate Cotumerco commission could not much longer maintain the Joint rolu of prosecutor and Judge. Tho commission Is to bo tho militant, aggressive ami eVer-watchful guardian of the peopki'a Interest; the commerce court is to be the arbiter between tho railroads and the shippers. Jurisdiction of Court. Tho new court will have Jurisdiction over question arising under the Interstate commerce law on appeal from the decisions of the Interstate Commerce commission. There are some exceptions to this rule, however. Tho law docs not give tho commerce court Jurisdiction In cases involving the collection of penalties, the infliction of criminal punishment, or the enforcement of any order of tho commission for the payment of money; all appeals In these cases go over Its head; and are to be taken directly to the United States supremo court. Vital and far-reaching questions which have hitherto been left to a the United States circuit and district courts of the country, will now bo tocussed In tho commcrco court. Lack of uniformity In the Interpretation of tho laws has confused tho minds of business men and clogged the dockets with a bewildering maze of decisions many of which aro contradictory. When these cases were appealed to the United States supremo court, years ofteu passed before they were reached on the docket, and tho result was that both tho railroads and the ahlppcrs were kept In a state of uncertainty and suspense that was demoralizing. The initial calendar of the new court will contain 23 cases, Involving validity of orders of the Inlerstato Commerce commission. All cases now pending in the various federal courts relating to railroads, over which the commerce court Is given Jurisdiction.

have been automatically transferred to Its docket. Tho crsonnal of the new court Is Interesting. President Taft selected men of tho highest typo for tho tribunnl. men of distinguished legal attainments. He drew upon the Interstate Commerce commission in his first selection, and made Its chairman, Martin A. Knapp. chief Justice of tho new. court. Mr. Knapp's confirmation was at first opposed In tho senate because ho was believed to have pre-rall-road tendencies. That he Is admirably cqulpitcd for the chief Justiceship cannot be denied. Schooling of Knapp. Martin A. Knapp received his early schooling at Homer, N. Y., but was compelled to strike out for. himself at 17 years of ago and earn his own living. After several years of country school teaching at a meager salary, young Knapp passed the bar examination and became a law clerk at Syracuse, N. Y. He specialized in business and industrial law and his advancement was rapid. President Harrison appointed him to the Interstate Commerce commission in 1891. He was elected by his associates as chairman In 1S9S, and held that position until his present apiotntment. Judge William 11. Hunt, another member of the court was born in New Orleans In 1S57. He is a Yale man, and has had varied experience in the public service, ranging from a collectorship of customs In Montana and Idaho In ISSl. to the governorship of Porto Hico in 1901. He was at first nominated as an associate justlco of the court of customs appeals, btu resigned that position to accept his present one. For three years Judgo Hunt was governor of Porto Hico, and was instrumental In formulating a national policy for the island. He resigned tho governorship to become United States district Judge for tho district of Montana in 1901. Another forceful iersonality on the court of commerce bench U Julian AV. Mack, of Chicago. He was born in San Francisco in 1S66, and graduated from tho Harvard law school in 1SS7. He was admitted to the bar In Illinois and practiced law from 1S90 to 1903, when he was aptolnted civil service commissioner for the city of Chicago. In 1901 ho wns elected Judge of the Chicago Juvenile court, and in this capacity achieved a national fame only second to that of Judge L4ndsey of IK' over. John K. Carland. Is a native of New York but his legal reputation has been nuido in South Dakota. He is an alumnus of tho University of Michigan, and was appointed United States attorney for the territory of Dakota in 1883. He was a member of the constitutional convention which framed the constitution for North Dakota and was appointed United tSates Judgo for the district of South Dakota In 1S96. and held this office when President Taft called to assume an associate justiceship of the commcrco court. The fifth member of the court is Robert W. Archbald. who was born iu Carbondale, Pa., la ISIS, and graduat-

ANDREW PREPARES TO SPEND LITTLE He Asks a Question, Its Answer Being Important to Pittsburg, Pa.

Los Angeles, Feb. 11. Andrew Carnegie, donor of library funds, has promised the city of Los Angeles $210,000 for the erection of six branch libraries to cost $35,000 each. The letter containing the offer has been received by Henry M. Newmark, president of the library board.

for what reasons? Is there any new department that would add to its usefulness? I shall be very glad to have the views of yourself and the trustees on this matter. Very truly, "Andrew Carnegie.

ed from Yale in 1871. He practiced law in Scranton, Pa., until he assumed a Judicial position in ISSfi. He has held this place continuously until the present appointment. An enlargement of the present, powers of the commerce court will be nsl;ed of congress. It is promised to give it control of the Issue of railroad stocks and bonds, and to empower It to make physical valuations of railroads. When this Is done Federal supremacy over the transjiortation interests of the nation will bo complete. No small stockholder, victimized by a cluster policy of over-capitalization, no shipper or community discriminated against in the matter of rates, will be without redress.

Russian Orchestra. It Is more than likely that one, and possibly two novelties that have never been heard in this city will be offered to the audience which is fortunate enough In being present at the coming concert of the Russian Symphony Orchestra. At the New York concerts given by this society this winter thcro wero more "first time" compositions played than by any other symphony orchestra appearing in New York. Stately, noble compositions, broad, emotional orchestral works and dainty, small bits of aipcallng charm wero all represented in the novelties offered by Mr. Altschuler to his large New York audiences. It will bo a treat to the music patrons of this city to hear so fine an orchestra directed by so capable a conductor. The date is set for March 17, at the Gennett theater.

instead of February 4 as previously announced. "The Spendthrift" is a play that should bo seen by every extravagant woman, by every mother of an extravagant daughter. It is a play with a lesson and a reproach for the hundreds of thousands of weak, yielding American husbands. The theme deals largely with the present day domestic extravagance, and apart from the great lesson that it teaches, it is a true, startling and

; exciting picture of real life such as I rarely has been put on the stage. The

husband and wife marry, deeply in love, and they are still in love. But she Is more in love with herself and

dresses and her society than with ; him and all else put together. He has 'slaved for twenty years and has not

saved a penny and has no provision for the future. Her extravagance drags him down at last. Bankruptcy has forced him to tho wall as the play opens. Many a man will go to see "The Spendthrift" with his wife, feeling in his heart that the lesson is tor her, although she won't know it. And many a woman, careful and conscientious, devoted to her husband's interests, when she sces this play will realize, as her husband realizes, how much the husband's real success depends upon her co-operation and help and unselfishness of a wife. Frederic Thompson has provided an exceptionally fine cast for this play headed by Doris Mitchell and includes Lionel Adams, Gwendolyn Piers, Albert Sackett, LIzzio McCall, Forrest Orr, Alice Kelly and William II. Sul-

the time of the Thanksgiving holidays was marked by one of the largest bouses in the history of the theater when The Blue Mouse was presented to an audience which packed every corner of the playhouse. Miss Grace Bryan and Mr. Edward Russell were unusually great favorites here during their previous stay for they each have a magnetic personality which goes far towards making their performances perfect ones. The list of plays that will be presented during the week

contain several new ones and all are bound to warrant serious consideration from the theater going public.

"The Spendthrift." . Frederic Thompson's production of Porter Emercon Browne's great domestic drama, "The Spendthrift," which was the dramtic sensation of New York last season will be the attraction at the Gennett on March 4,

Russell Players. The Russell Plavers will onen thpir

week's engagement at the Gennett theater tomorrow evening in a new i play Tho Beau Urummel Burglar, a

play which will appeal to all lovers of the popular priced attractions. The return of the players to Richmond after an absence of several . months will be a welcome one in as much as their previous stay in Richmond at

At the Murray. It is a strictly high class bill that

! opens at the Murray next week. No

novelty act in a long while will prove any more entertaining than that offered by Miss Elma Meier. A large tank of water is placed upon the stage and in this through the reflection of a large mirror Miss Meier shows the various dives and swimming strokes and evolutions known to the aquatic art. In connection with this fine feature are the Millar Brothers In their new spectacular novelty, Famous Diorama, wonderful transformations and visions of art. This spectacle presents a series of hand pointings, the work of the Millar Bros., and then by a system of wonderful mechanical contrivances these views are animated. Nina Griffin and Co. in her comedy sketch entitled Her Husband's Friend and Bill Fall's the Assassin of Sorrow, furnish plenty of good clean comedy and will no doubt appeal strongly to the fun loving public. Try to get in.

EDITOR JOW EXILED For Repeating Scandal About King George. (Anfoiican News Service) Pari?, Feb. 11. -The story that King George of England was morganatically married at Gibralter while Prince of Wales, was renewed again today in the Liberator notwithstanding the fact that Edward Mylius, the writer of the first article was recently sentenced to a yea rin prison for libel. The Liberator today published an anonymous letter from a catholic priest who declared he performed the ceremony. " By this action Editor Edward H. aJmes, of the Liberator, has exiled himself from England. In addition to the letter today he printed an eight column criticism of the Mylius trial.

ANDREW INQUISITIVE. Tittsburg, Feb. 11. Andrew Carnegie has asked a question and wants the board of trustees of the Carnegie institute to answer. Upon that answer depends another gift to Pittsburg, varying from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 as an endowment for enlarging the work of that organization. The board of trustees has appointed ft committee to consider the question and report to Mr. Carnegie at an early date how this additional income could

be used to advantage. Mr. Carnegie's letter follows: "NewYork. Jan. 19, 1911. W. N. Frew, President Board of Trustees, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburg. "Dear Sir: I should like to have the views of the trustees as to what features of the institute could be wisely still further developed; which is suffering most for lack of more means? I had better put it in this form If the

institute had fifty or a hundred thous-

jand dollars yearly more income what would it do with it and in what i amount would it be distributed and

SCIENCE PREVENTS BALDNESS. The Fatal Germ and Its Remedy Now Facts of Science. It Is the rarest thing in the world for a man to be necessarily bald. No man whose hair is not dead at the roots, need be bald if he will use Newbro's Herpiclde, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpiclde destroys the germ that cuts the hair off at the root; and cleans the scalp of dandruff and leaves it In a perfectly healthy condition. Mr. Mannett, in tho Maryland Block, Butte, Mont., was entirely bald. In less than a month Herpicido had removed the enemies of hair growth, and nature did its work by covering his head with thick hair an inch long, and in six weeks he had a normal suit of hair.
