MACON, Ga, May 24.-In arguing for
the defendant in the damage suit of Ro-
land Reed against the Southern Railway
in the United States Court to-day Attorney
W. A. Henderson created a sensation by
making a bitter personal attack on the
plaintiffs, Reed, Miss Isadore Rush, his
leading woman, and Mrs. Myers, one of the
best-known old-lady impersonators on the

relations existing between Reed and Miss
Rush and characterized the suit as "a

the property in the possession Of Mrs.
Hinckley, daughter of the millionaire.
Justice Shiras rendered the opinion in the
case of Augustus F. Shapleigh VS.. The
City of San Angelo, Tex. In this case the
town of San Angelo sought to avoid the
payment of bonds by diSorganlzat1ng the
corporation and again organizing under the
same name. The court, however held tnat
the new corporation was subject to the Ia
bilties of the old. The decree OF the court
below was reversed.
In decision by Justice Brewer, in the
case of the Merchants and Manufacturers
National Bank of Pittsburg VS.. The Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, the court at
1rmed the validity of the State law of 1891
in respect to the taxation of banks.
The court, in an opinion by Justice Peck
ham, reversed the District Court of Alaska
in the case of Koo-Y el-Lu, an Indian, con-
Victed of the murder of one August Jansen.
The reversal was on the ground that ma
terial evidence had been excluded by the
trial court.
The case of the ST. Joseph & Grand Island
Railroad Company VS.. r. NJ Steele. sheriff
of Doniphan county, Kansas, was dismissed
for want of jurisdiction. The case involved
the right to COLLECT local taxes on a bridge
over the Missouri river by the State of
Kansas.
In the case of the city of New Orleans,
appellant against the Citizens Bank of
louisiana the court found that the decree
of the Circuit Court for the Eastern district
of Louisiana was partly erroneous and re-
versed it. Instructions were given that
decree be entered enforcing the nonliability
OF the bank to taxation on it's capital stock
and building and on tax on it's share
holders accompanied with legal obligation
! on the bank to pay the tax; rejecting the
claim of the bank to nonliability of it's
shareholders for taxation, without prejudice
to the rights of the shareholders to resist
an assessment for taxation unaccOmpanied
by an obligation on the bank to pay; re-
jecting the claim of the bank to nonliab1HtY
to taxation the property acquired by 1t
under foreclosure of mortgage, without
prejudice to state and municipal authori-
ties to claim and license tax This case in
volved the Louisiana law that the shares
of capital stock of bank should be as
sessed at their value as shown by the
books of the bank, the taxes to be paid by
shareholders Certain judgments in favor
of the bank were set up as res adJudlcata
(by the Supreme Court of Loulslana), and
regarding them Justice White said that the

one year was a different demand from the
suit for tax for another, therefore res adj
iudicata could not apply, whilst admitting
in form the principle of the things adJudged
in reality denies and destroys it.
The case of the State of Louisiana eX rel
in error against the city of New Orleans,
was decided in the same way, the court
holding in both cases that the property
bought in by the bank under foreclosure of
its stock mortgages was not the capital or

Supreme Court to render decision in the
Nebraska maximum freight-rate case. Off
Gals felt sure that one would be rendered,
and they We're just as confident that it

have it is increased by the fact that the
Kansas railroad commissioners are agitat-
ing for the enforcement of maximum
freight rates The Governor has threatened
to call a special session of the Legislature
to pass a bin should the roaos refuse to
adopt rates dictated to them by the COM
missioners. A decision from the federal
Supreme Court declaring that State Legis-
latures have no power TO enforce unreason-
able rates would at this time. il is believed,

from existing rates. The decision holding
that the Interstate-commmerce Commission
