NAA-

City Cases,
ST. PAUL, July John NJ. Egan
and Charles e. Holdridge, of the Kansas
City line, have came off victorious in
the fight made against them by the
United States interstate commerce COM
mission on the ground that they had
been practicing unjust discrimination
in the interest of their line Of railway,
the Chicago, st, Paul and Kansas City.
In the United States district court
Judge Thayer, who has tried the case,
decided that there was not enough
in the case to entitle it to 20
to the jury, and ordered o verdict for
the defendants on all counts of the
Indictment. The form of verdict was
quickly made out and signed by the
foreman and the defendants were dis
charged. Before making the order
Judge Thayer read decision embody-
ing succinctly and lucidly his view of
the law in the case. The sole point at
issue was whether or not the 5000
tickets sold to Petsch were practically
unlimited tickets although they pur-
ported to be special limited tickets,
having been sold to Petsch without
reservation of any kind, and without
being punched in the dates around the
margin. The judge decided they were
sufficiently limited to comply with the
law, though In reality only limited as to
continuity OF the trip
