DETROIT, Mich. Feb. 5.-Gov. Plngreo won
the FIRST round in his fight to secure two-cent
railroad fares In Michigan to-day. Judge Dono.
van gave his decision in the mandamus pro-
ceedings brought by tho Governor against tho
Michigan Central Railroad Company to compel
the company to comply with the state law The
Legislature Of 1891 passed q law compelling
railroads earning moro than $4,000 mile an
nually to issue mileage books good for all mem.
bors OF family to be valid for two years. the ratio
to be cents n milo with repayment for unused
mileage at the expiration OF that time. Gov
Pingree demanded one of these books. II was
refused, and Immediately he brought suit.
In the hearing tho State Attorney attacked
the charter OF the company. and the decision to-
day Affects tho interests OF every railroad In the
State. Tho company asserted that its special
troll of its own affairs. aud that ro Legislature
could legally attempt to regulate It's rates OF
fare. 1t asserted that under tho terms of its
contract with the State the Government was to
purchase the property of the company in case OF
dissn tisfaction arising.
Judge Donovan holds that the consolidation
OF the original lines covered by the charter re-
leases the State from the terms OF tho charter
and prevents the company from enjoying any
privileges under that charter. Tho company,
he says, must come under the general laws and
must obey the act OF 1891. which means the
sale OF tickets on its lines ut 2 cents mile.
