SBPIEKToIBT , STOPS SCULPING DAILY INDUSTBlAJi HEWS, 'TUESDAY,' DECEMBER 3, 1907 First Session of the 60th Congress Is Held (Continued From First Page.) Hlrjnsi Tribunal In trie Country PftClares Thai Practice Is Unlawful, TOsMngton. D. C., Dec. 2. The Su premo Court of the United States today decided tlie case of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company vs. Marcus K. Bitterman and others, involving the right of the defendants to engage in scalping the tickets of the railroad com pany, in favor of the company, the de cision being handed down by Justice White. The suit was originally instituted by the railroad company in the l.nited States Circuit Court for the Eastern district of Louisiana, which was asked to enjoin Bitterman and other scalpers from dealing in nonnegotiable reduced fare tickets. That court held the practice to be wrong, but decided that relief could only be granted in individual cases, thus requiring a separate action for every offense committed. both parties to the controversy found the decision unsatisfactory and both ap pealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals lor the Fifth circuit. The decision of ' that tribunal was favorable to the rail road company, the court holding that the wrong doing' was of a continuing nature .mid granting a permanent injunction. I he scalpers brought the case to the federal Supreme Court. The opinion turned upon a decision of the court in. a former case in which it was held that "an actional wrong is com mitted by, one who maliciously inter feres in a contract between two parties and induces one of them to break that contract to the injury of the other." Proceeding Justice White said: "That this principle embraces a case like the present, that is the carrying on fi the business ot purchasing and selling nontransferable reduced rates, railroad tickets for profit to the injury of the railroad company issuing such tickets is, we think, clear. It is not necessary that the ingredients of actual malice in the sense of personal ill will should ex ist to bring this controversy within this doctrine. The wanton disregard of the rights of the carrier causing injury to it. which the business of purchasing and selling such tickets involves, constituted legal knowledge within the doctrines of the Angle case." The court also upheld the right to sell nontransferable tickets. HAYMOUNT PROTEST TO BE HEARD IN CHAMBERS Fayetteville, -N.

Cannon, 207; John Sharp Williams, 154. A committee wat appointed to bring the speaker into the House. Amid thun derous applause Speaker Cannon was es corted to his chair. In a brief speech, Heprentative Williams said the speak ership was the second highest) ofliae in the United States, lie had, the honor, he said, for the third time" 6f "not' in troducing, but presenting to the Con gress ot the United States the Hon. Jo seph 0. Cannon, of Illinois, as its speaker." When the applause had subsided, Speaker Cannon delivered his acceptance speech. The oath was then administered by Representative Bingham, of Pennsylva nia, "the father of the House," and in turn the speaker administered.., t,he oath to the members, who lined ;W ia front of his desk in groups of twifcy-'nv.- The taking of the oaths proceeded without any special occurrence until Oklahoma was called. The Democrats could rot restrain themselves and freely applauded the representatives from the new state, who bowed their acknowl edgment. The usual resolutions appoint ing co.nmittees to nctify the Senate and President that the House was in session were passed and the speaker named Messrs. Payne (New York), Tawney (Minnesota), and Williams (Mississippi) as the committee to advise the President. The first fight of the session was in- rugurated by Representative Williams, who protested against the adoption of a tesolution making the rules of the last i . i i i House tne governing taws or uie present House. Mr. Williams declared that he thought there was entirely too much power concentrated in the hands of the speaker. Representative Cooser (Republican, of Wisconsin.) expressed his approval of what Mr. llliams had said. Mr. DeArmond (Missouri), in a loud tone of voice, demanded to know if a majority of the membership of the House requested the speaker to permit action upon a particular matter whether he would or would rot do it. The speaker replied that the will of the majority always had been law to the speaker. The previous question was ordered, 199 to 163, whereupon Mr. Williams again forced the yeas and nays on the passage of the resolution. By a vote of 197 to 160. the resolu tion was adopted and the rules in the Inst Congress were adopted as the rules for -tho present Congress. Until otherwise decided, the House pgreed to meet each day at noon. The drawing of scats then began. The selection of seats being completed, Mr. Underwood announced the deaths of Senators Morgan and Pettus, and reso lutions of respect to their memory were adopted. ' Mr. Jones (Virginia) announced the death of Representative Slemp (Virginia) and Mr. Rodenberg (Illinois) . that of George W&Smith, of Illinois. The House then, on motion of Mr. Ro denberg (Illinois), in respect to the mem ory of senators and representatives who had died during the recess of Congress, adjourned until noon- tomorrow. There was practically no rivalry among the representatives of the Six tieth Congress for the usually coveted honor of introducing the first bill. . The figure "one" at the bill clerk's desk was placed on a reintroduced bill by Mr. Bur leson, of Texas, pensioning the surviv ing officers and enlisted men of the Texas volunteers employed in the de fense of the Texas frontier against Mex ican and Indian marauders in 185.V1S60. Several hundred bills today were intro duced by Democrats. Currency reform, the tariff, abolishment of liquor licenses, Don't Fail to See Our South Window We are showing some of the prettiest brown shoes and oxfords you ever saw, prices ranging from $2.50 to $4.00.

We await the pleasure of a call from you. MM t tJT A postal savings banks and foreign marine penalty were among the chief measure comprised. A resolution calling on the speaker to appoint a committee to investigate the financial disturbance was presented by Representative John Wesley Raines, of Tennessee. Two bills for the protec tion of creditors of failed national banks were introduced, one by Mr. Chandler, of Mississippi, the other by Mr. Mor ris, of Nebraska. The former provides for the creation of a $10,000,000 reim bursement fund by the payment to the United States terasury by each national bank of one-fourth of ono per cent, of its average deposits for the last six months of each year; this tund to be drawn on the comptroller of the cur rency to repay the depositors and cred itors the amounts they have lost by the failure. The bill does not exempt stockholders from their state bank liabilities. Mr, Morris' bill is framed along similar tines, but goes larther. Tariff bills were introduced as follows: By Mr. Clark, of Missfmri, removing the import duty on white paper and pulp; by Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, establishing free trade between the Phil ippines and the rest of the United States; by Mr. Richardson, of Alabama, a resolution instructing the committee on ways and means to "so revise the tar iff as to make it a tariff for the revenue and not for protecting one class of cit izens at the expense of another;" by Mr. Thomas, of North Carolina, placing wmie paper on tne tree list; by Mr. Payne, of New York, a reintroduction of the Philippines tariff bill as finally amended in the House of the Fiftv-ninth Congress; by Mr. Williams, to establish a minimum tariff. Among the bills introduced in further ance of prohibition were the following: By Representative Bartlett, of Georgia, abolishing federal liquor licenses in pro hibition states, counties or municipali ties; by Representative Wallace, of Ar kansas, prohibiting common -carriers from taking intoxicants into prohibition states, and nullifying the "original package" clause. A bill was introduced by Mr, Williams, deterring campaign contributions. THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE The Senate convened promptly at twelve, noon. After Vice-President Fair banks sounded the gavel the, proceed ings were opened with prayer by the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the Senate.

Resolutions providing for a commit tee to inform the President that Con gress had assembled and is ready to re ceive any communication he may be pleased to make were adopted and Sen ators Allison and Teller were designated to wait upon the President. Senator Teller offered resolutions in respect to the memory of Senators Mor gan and Pettus, of Alabama, and they were adopted and the Senate adjourned at 12.27 p. m. until twelve o'clock to morrow. ' - . Promptly at twelve o'clock Clerk Mc Dowell entered the House chamber, ac companied by the veteran assistant ser-geant-at-arms, Cole S.
