INTERSTATE COMMERCE. DECISION.
State Carriers May Select the Route over
Which They VIII Forward.


WASHINGTON CITY, April ~ The inter
state commerce decision has decided the
case of Bennett d. Mattingly, distiller of
Louisville, Ky, against the Pennsylvania
company, in favor OF the defendant. The
Pennsylvania company operates the Jeffer-
sopvilIe, Madison and indianapolis railway,
and branch of this road, lying wholly
within the state of Indiana, forms the only
connection at New Albany, Ind. between
the Louisville, Evansville and st. Louis con-
solidated railway, and the louisville, New
Albany and Chicago railway.
Preferred It's Own r Dad.
At New Albany the Pennsylvania com
pany received complainant's grain from the
former company, but refused to deliver it
to the latter for transporta ion to Louis
vile, preferring to take the freight to that
point over the Jacksonville, Madison and
Indianapolis, its own road. The pith of the
decision is that while it is the duty of
state carrier which engages in interstate
commerce to forward traffic offered from
connecting line there is no authority under
the present act to compel the carrier to for
ward the traffic over a route not operated
or selected by itself
