' Washington, Jan. 4 The new. policy of law, making an initial carrier of in terstate commerce, liable for loss tu shipments while in transportation not only on its lines, but' on those of son- meeting carriers, is - declared constitu tional .bv the Supreme 'court of the United States. , Tha policy was incor porated " in the so-called . "Carmack amendment'' 'to" flitJcprn raieJaw,. enacted by Congress in 1906. Justice Lurton announced the opinion of the court. Strangely enough Justice Ltmar, who yesterday took his place as a member of the court, argued the case before the court on behaif of the rail-j road.i, One objection to the law was tha it interferred with the freedom of contract Justice Lurton rplii d that there was no such ing as absolute freedom of contract. "Contracts which contravene public policy," said Justice Lurton, "cannot be lawfully made at all, and th) power to make contracts may in all cases be regulated as to form, evidence ard validity as to third pereon. The power1 of government extends to the denial of liberty of contract to the extent of for bidding or rvgulaVr.g every contract which is reasonably cilcuUtrd to iniuri- nuidv affect l Ik; public inturesis." The constitutionality of the amend ment to th? tho iloptiurn rate law was attacked by several railroads on two uroid grounds. One was that it inter- errcd wiih li e liberty of contract not only of carrier-', but of shippprs. The other was thr-.t it imposed liability upon the rni'road icmpuuy which was the nitial carri-r for 1os on connecting ires when the former had no part in the management of the latter nor any control over them.

The Journal received the census re port for New Bern from Director ' Du rand at Washington yesterday and the official count is given as 9,961, against 9,090 for 1900, and 7.843 for 1890. This enumeration will coma as a sur prise to the citizens of this city who have been confident of a large increase. It i safe ta say that it will not be ac cepted as correct by any one familiar with the changes that have taken place . as per figures on this official increase of 9$ per cent, will be interesting. The post office census as sent in a year ago indicated that over 17,000 peo ple were served by the city mail car riers, These lists are made out with great care and while some may have been outside the strict city limits,' the nnmber cannot be far wrong. , , The post office receipts for 1900 were $27,918.37 against $11,273.02 for 1910, an increase of 147 per cent The tax valuation for 1910 is $4,750, 000 against $2,169,173 in 1900, an in crease of 120 per cent. The school census or attendance for 1910 is 1,622 against 877 for 1900, an in crease of 90 per cent It is indeed difi cult to understand an increase of 90 per cent, in school children with an in crease of 9 per cent in population, . The city directory for 1908 contains over 4000 names, and at that time it was figured as showing a population of over 14,000. ' fi Same facts of the taking of the cen- ' sus here may explain some Of this dis crepency, In one district there was an enumerator for whites and an (numer ator for colored, leading' to confusion. In another district the position was re fused sad the count was taken late. It is supposable that when the count, was sent in for this district it was never in cluded. ' .
