NEW ORLEANS. LA, March %
Judges Pardce. Mccormick and Swayne.

Appeals to-day. decided the famous
"Lcne star" case. The latter sought 20
prevent the Texas roads from giving the
Mallory Line rates which they would not
grant plaintiff virtually institutins a boy
cOtt.
The court refused TO maintain the in
junction granted. IL held that the con-
tract OF the railroads and the Mallory
Line was legal: that the Texas Commis-
sion could not interfere with interstate
commerce, that Congress had not grant
ed the interstate commerce commission
the right 10 interfere with such contracts.
and that the Circuit Courts could not
grant such iniunctions in advance Of the
necessary legislation. Hence the decision
OF the Texas Circuit Court granting the
injunction was reversed and the case re-
manded.
