ASSOCIATION DEFIED.
Lake Erie and Western Road Stands by
Its Contracts-Other Issues.

CHICAGO, June 13-The Lake Erie and
Western road today made a reply to the
request of the Western Passenger associa-
lion lines that it would withdraw its notice
of a rats of So 80 from indianapolis to
Denver and return on excursion business
nnder penalty of having all its tickets.
whenever issued, refused by all the asso-
citation lines. The Lake Erie and Western
says il has but one contract at the price
named in its notice and that it cannot
legally avoid carrying out the contract.
What is more, it has no intention of trying
TO avoid it and proposes to carry the pas
sengers at the agreed rate, no matter what
the result.
The association has taken no action on
the reply as yet, but will probably do so
before the present meeting adjourns. The
Alton road has preferred charges against
the Missouri Pacific before the local pas
senger association at st. Louis, for cutting
the rate from st. Louis to Denver. This
is the same excursion for which the Mis-
souri, Pacific claimed the Alton had cut
the rate So so. The Missouri Pacific
claimed that the Alton was a party to the
side trips from Denver, which were adver-
tised by the Union Pacific. This charge
the Alton denies, and insists that even if it
were true it afforded no justification for
the action of the Missouri Pacific, as that
road has issued circulars Offering such
tide trips on its own account. and besides,
the Union Pacific had withdrawn its side
trips before the Missouri Pacific cut rates
on account of them.

OMAHA. Neb., June 13.-The case wherein
the federal court is asked to interfere WIT n
Nebraska affairs and prevent the enforce
meut of the Nebraska maximum freight
rate bill, on the theory that the reductions
are SO radical as to threaten to cause all
railroads in Nebraska to be abandoned.
came up before Justice Brewer aud Judge
Dundv. 1t is alleged that the local rates
now in force in Nebraska, which are added
to all shipments coming into the state, are
about 10 per cent. higher than the local
rates in Kansas, Minnesota and Dakota;
hence. even in interstate shipments Ne
braska pays this higher rate than the
other 81 ateS.
The defense claims that there is q prin-
ciple of law involved in this case worthy OF
serious discussion and refers TO justice
Bradley's decision in the Minnesota case,
sn which he says: 1T is stated that ali
charges must be reasonable and that none
but reasonable charges can be enacted,
aud what is u reasonable charge is judo
ial question.
1.-The discrimination in rates exercised
bv the railways in favor of certain points
and monopoIies resulted in tue passage OF
this bill, but it has remained inactive be-
cause of an Injunction" The defense now
alleges that by reason of the Injunction
granted in the case the railroad companies
have already suspended for one year the
operation of the law, to the aggrandize-
ment of themselves and to the detriment
of the people. They now want TO call a
halt and let the law be tested by actual
experience.
Judge j. NJ. Woolworth, on behalf of the
railroads, opened his arguments this after
noon His main contention was that the
rates fixed by the bill were unremunera-
tive. He went over the case carefully,
presenting the cost of operating and main
tanning the lines in Nebraska. and con-
tended that the revenue would be so re-
duced by the operation of the new rates
that the roads could no longer pay ex-
penses. The constitutionality of the low
rate was also attacked On similar grounds.
Judge Woolworth had not yet closed when
court adjourned.
