Railroads denied power to compel union depots in cities
Des Moines July 21 The state railroad commission refused to direct railroads entering Council Bluffs to unite for a city union depot or passenger station. The decision says the law applies only to country crossings, where platforms and shelters may be required, not to urban union stations. The ruling traces legislative history from 1862 through 1884, noting no authority for commissions to order city union stations. Miss Reine Davies makes her film debut with George W. Lederer Corp in Sunday alongside Ethel Barrymore.
