Greensboro, SpecUL Hardin Ger many, a discharged employe of the White Oak Cotton Mills, was arrest ed and committed to jail charged with -t tiding through the mail aa infernal machine addressed to Mr. Ceasar ( one, president of the Proximity and White Oak Mills. The evidence against the prisoner is very strong, made o by the fact that he did his work in a bungling manner. Tie package was delivered to Mr. Cone Saturday morning, but the matter was kept quiet until sufficient evi dence to warrant an arrest bad been secured. Within 35 minutes af ter being notified by telephone that the guilty man was located, Unit ed States Marshal Millikan had caus ed a warrant to be sworn out and had committed Germany to jail. The suspected criminal was detained in he office of the Proximity Mills un til he could be placed under arrest byMarshall Millikan, who was carried to Proximity, a distance of two miles, by Mr. E. Colwell, Jr., in his auto mobile so uickly as to violate the speed law several times over. But for the fact that he had re ceived a warning, doubtless Mr. Cone v ould 1 Me opened the package and received serious injuries. Mr. Cone was engaged in conversation with three of his brothers, Messrs. Sol, Ju lius and Bernard Cone, at his home Thursday night about 10 o'clock when the doorbell rang. The ring was answered by Mr. Sol Cone, to whom was handed the note of warn ing. The messenger appeared to be ii'oxicated, and immediately after '( iivering the note walked rapidly r.ay from the Cone residence. The note, which was written in a legible ';and, on wrapping paper that had been :iker. from the company store nt White Oak, read as follows: The Note. "Mr. Ceasar Cone, "Dear Sir: I pray that you will not treat this as you usually do anonymous letters, for believe me, it :s to your interest. Your life is at -lake. I learned to-night that there ..! been something mailed to you fhat will explode when you open it. If you. receive a package, that you are not expecting, for God's sake don't open it. I have very good reasons for not giving my name. Pleast don't treat this with contempt, but be very careful. Do you want the man who sent it arrested f "Very respectfully' yours, "WHITE OAK EMPLOYE." Across the face of the envelope in written: "Important. This letter or its contents must reach Mr. Cone be fore he receives his mail. Mr. Cc.asar Cone, home. His life depends upon it." The. machine consisted of a narrow box, loaded with powder, shot, etc., with matches fixed to fire the powder. Tt was a clumsy affair but would 'oubtless explode with terrific force 'pon being opened. Death of A. & M. Student. Winston-Salem, Special. Mr. Er-H'-,t Hines, a student of the A. & M.

PRITGHARD UPHELD Supreme Court Renders far Reaching Opinion ENDS QUESTION OF JURISDICTION Supreme Court of the United States Adds Another to the Series of Not able Decisions During Present Term of Court by Refusing to Grant to Attorney General Young, of Minnesota, a Writ of Habeas Corpus Releasinf Him From Pen alty Imposed by United States Cir cuit Court and Affirming the De cision of Judge Pritchard Dis charging Ticket Agent Wood. Washington, Special. Am refus ing to grant to Attorney General Young, of Minnesota, a writ of habeas corpus releasing him from the penalty in.txmed by the Cnited States Circuit Court for the district of Minnesota on the charge of contempt of court in instituting a proceeding in a State court for the enforcement rf the railroad rate law after the Federal court had prohibited such a course, and in affirming the decision of Judge Pritchard, of the United States Circuit Court for the western district of North Carolina, discharg ing from imprisonment James II. Wood, a ticket agent of the Southern Railway at Asheville. after he had been sentenced by the Asheville po lice court to serve a term on the rock pile on the charure of collecting for a ticket on that road a greater price than wai permitted by the State railroad law. the Supreme Court of the United States added an other to the seiies of decisions which have rendered notable the present term of that court. In hoJn ;:srs the rieht of the 'ae to fir rafs for railnnd trans portation was the issu and both involved conflicts between the Feder al and the Stae courts. The decis ions in each case was opposed both to the States and to their courts. The opinion of tie court in boh cases.' was annotinced by Justb-e Packham. nud vrith the exception of Justice Hailrn all the other m?nb?rs of the court s(od behind him i:i the announcement of, the court's finding. Justice Harlan "read a dissenting opinion in the Young case in which he took the view that the suit was practically a proceeding against the State and therefore not p?r.nissib!e under the eleventh amendment to the constitution. He therefore charac terized the opinion as era-making in the history of the court, . and said it had the effect of closing the courts of a State against the State itself, and pi-edicts that the result would be disastrous. Justice Peckham's Opinion. Justice Peckham's opinion as out lined is in pail as follows: "The court has decided: That by reason of the enormous penalties provided in the rate laws, by way of fines against the companies, and im prisonment of their atrents and em- J E ployes. the companies were in effect prevented from ever questioning the validity of those laws, as the ri:d of confiscation of property and impris onment of agents in case the com panies failed in their defense was too much to undertake in order to obtain a judicial decision of the question of such validity. "Such laws are therefore held un constitutional as they prevented the companies from resorting to the courts, and therefore deprived them of the equal protection of the laws. "The question of the sufficiency of the rates to enable the company to obtain some return to its stockhold ers for their investment, has for many years been held to be one for the courts to decide, as it would be a violation of the constitution of the United States to fix rates so low as to be confiscatory if enforced. "The laws providing rates for transportation of passengers and freight in the two eases under con sideration have been held by the eourts below to be so low as to be substantially confiscatory, and should therefore not be enforced until after further trials. The courts had juris diction to make such an order." Justice Harland's Opinion. "Neither the words nor the policy of the eleventh amendment will un der our former decisions, justify any order of a Federal court, the neces rarv effect of which will be to ex clude a State from its own courts. Such an order attended by such re sults cannot I submit, be sustained consistently with the powers which tho States, according to the uniform declarations of this court, posses? under the constitution. I am justified bv what this court has therefore de clared, in now saying that the wise men who framed the constitution and who caused the adoption of the eleventh amendment would have been startled by the suggestion-that a State of the Union can be prevented by an order of a subordinate Fed eral court from being represented bv is Attorney General in a suit brought by the State in one of it? own courts, and that such an order would be inconsistent with the dig nity of the States involved in theii constitutional immunity from the ju dicial process of the Federal courts (except in the limited cases in which they may constitutionally be made parties in this court) and would be attended by most pernicious re- - suits." DEAD Florida's Junior Senator Dies After Short Illness YOUNGEST MEMBER OP SENRTE Elected Lets Than Three Months Ago to Succeed the Late Senator Mai lory as Florida's Representative U the Upper House of Congress. Washington, Sril. Uaitl States Senator William Jmes Bras of Florida, died at Providence Hos pital at 8:30 o'clock Sunday morn ing of typhoid fever. It was only 73 days since he took his seat aa the sue cesser of the late Senator Stephen R, Mallory, who died December 23d, and 3 days of that time was spent ir his fight against disease. Several times during Mr. Brayn's illness his friends despaired of his recovery, but as late as Saturday night the report was given out that his condition had taken a turn for the better. His death, therefore, came as a surprise and a distinct shock. In physique Mr. Bryan was unfit ted to withstand a protracted fever. He was slight of build and of ner vous temperament. He came to Wash ington early in January from the warm climate of Florida ami from the day of his arrival was far from well. Finally he was compelled to give up and was taken to Provi dence Hospital.

They were the two late Senators from Alabama, Mr. Morgan and Mr. 1 Vi tus; Mr. Mallory, of Florida; Mr. Latimer of South Carolina; Mr. Proc tor of Vermont ; Mr. Whyte, of Mary land, and Mr. Bryan. Curiously enough the last two were the idlest and the youngest members of the body. Mr. Whyte was SI years old and Mr. Bryn less than 32." hough Mr. Bryan was in the Senate too short a time to impress his individuality on legislation, r to take a prominent part in the consid eration of matters in committee, it is conceded that he would have be come a forceful part of the minority. Mr. Bryan was born in Orange eo'.mfy, Florida. 0,-tober 10th. 1S70. ne attended the public schools of his S'-afe and--Emory College,- Georgia, graduating from the latter institu tion in 1S96.

The resignation came as a great surprise to Governor Cobb, and to the surprise of the Con gressman's friends in this district and was received with much regret.
