HELD LEGAL
FEDERAL SUPREME COURT DE-
CIDES AGAINST STATES
LAW IS CONSTITUTIONAL
Government Given Control Over Lands
Claimed by States—Other New®
of Interest to the General
Publio
Washington. D. C,—The legal battle,
against the forest reserves of the west
in particular and conservation by the
federal government of natural re-
sources in general was decided Mon-
day in the supreme court of the Unit-
ed States.
That tribunal not only upheld tho
constiiutionaiity of the establishment
of the reserves, but it settled once for
all that the federal government and
not the states may say how the re-
serves shall be used.
The immediate results of the conclu-
sion of the court are that Fred lJght,
a Colorado cattleman, will remain en-
joined from allowing his (tattle to graze
on the Holy Cross forest reserve in
Colorado, and Pierre Cirimaud, K. P.
CarajouB and Antonio Inda, ^Califor-
nia sheep men, must answer to the in-
dictment, charging them with grazing
sheep upon the Sierra forest reserve
without a permit.
The subject was dealt with in two
opinions delivered by Justice Lamar.
The entire court concurred. The bas-
ic principle upon which he proceeded
was that "the nation is an owner and
has made congress the principal agent
to dispose of its property."
"The United States can prohibit ab-
solutely and fix the terms on which its
property may be used," said the jus-
tice "It is true the United States can
not and does not hold property as a
monarch may for private and personal
purposes, but that does not lead to the
conclusion that it is without the rights
Incident to ownership for the constitu-
tion declares that 'congress shall have
power to dispose of and make al'
needed niles and regulations respect-
ing the territory or property belong-
ing to tho United States.'"

Pennsylvania Railroad Shopmen Quit
Work May Day
Pittsburg.—Without further warning
than might be gathered from confer-
ences of a committee with railroad of-
ficials last week, the shop men of the
Pennsylvania railroad, on the Pitts-
burg division, extending to Altoona,
Pa., went out on strike and union of-
ficers say 10,000 men are out.
The unions affected are the Brother-
hood of Carmen, Boilermakers and
helpers, Sheet Metal Workers, the In-
ternational Association of Machinists
and Laborers, and the Federal Labor
Union, an organization of foreign la-
borers about railroads, all of which are
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor.
The cause is the allegation by the
men that in its retrenchment policy,
the railroad dismissed men who were
active in organizing and carrying on I
their unions. No semblance of disor-
der characterized the inauguration of i
the strike.
TO GAIN GATES OF HEAVEN
Natives of India Still Be'ieve Death
Under Wheels of Juggernaut In-
sures Eternal Bliss.
Orissa, India.—In the third week lu
June of this year, following a custom
established over a thousand years ago,
Hindus by tens of thousands will flock
to Pouri, in Orissa. India, for the relig-
ious festival of Juggernaut. From the
temple the famous car of Juggernaut
will be brought forth and dragged
through the streets. It will head the
annual procession of devotees of the
god Vishnu, or Juggernaut, Lord of the
tlnlverso, whose image, or statue,
without legs and with stumps of arms,
rests within the colossal car.
Hundreds of pilgrims will harness
themselves to the stout cables by
which the car Is drawn. As they pull
Car of Juggernaut.
the ponderous car in its clumsy
wheels, many will work themselves ur>
to a degree of religious fervor lit ti*
short of madness. Ami fanatics there
will be, as of old, who will attempt to
throw themselves to destruction un-
der the murderous wheels, as a volun-
tary sacrifice to their idol.. But this
year, as for many years past, British
civil officers will he on hand to pre-
vent any act of suicide.
Hindus believe that to gain the fa
vor of Juggernaut opens for them the
gates of heaven. Therefore, in the
days before the British occupation of
India, natives occasionally cast their
bodies under the car to be crushed to
a pulp, the belief being that such self-
immolation speedily would be reward-
ed by entrance into Paradise.
The car is 4.1 feet high. Its wheels
are each more than six feet high. A
wooden cag§ around the top, an addi-
tion of recent years, keeps fanatics
from jumping upon the car in the hope
of looking upon their idol within. Body
enid wheels are of wood beautifully
sculptured and Inlaid, and for the fes-
♦ival the car is draped with gold cloth.
