F. M. SIMMONS SPEECH
HE CLOSED AN ABLE ARGUMENT
FOR THE STATE.
Mr.. BURTON MADE A VIGOROUS ATTACK
Declared Decision in the Abbott-BeddngfeId
Case Not Good Law. Western Union Case
Against Corporation Commission
Will be Argued Today.

Charleston, S. c., Dec. 2S.-(Special)
The argument in the action of the va
rious railroad companies against the
North Carolina Corporation Commission,
commenced ON yesterday, was concluded
today. Col. Hinsdale completed his very
clear and painstaking argument, and
was followed by Mr.. Burton, who at
tackled very vigorously the decision of
the Abbott -Beddingfield case as not be-
ing good law, and therefore Judge Sim
onton should not reverse his former de-
cision and hold that the Corporation
Commission had power to assess the
property Of the various railroad cOmpa-
nies for taxation.
Mr.. Simmons concluded for the com
mission and discussed the single qucs-
ton whether Judge Simonton should
consider himself bound by the decision
in the case of Abbott VS.. BeddingfieId.
Mr.. Simmons was well prepared and
made Il most creditable argument. The
sentiment has now changed, and it is be-
lieved Judge Simonton will reverse him
self.
The action of the Western Union
Telegraph Company against the Corpo-
ration Commission will be argued to-
morrow by Mr.. Robert Strong for plain

GOES TO ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Complaint of Shippers Against New
Classification of Freight.

Washington, Dee. 2S.-Today the in
ter-State Commerce Commission III COM
pliance with the request of the freight
shippers and representatives of the COM
mercial interests. transmitted TO AttOr-
ney General Griggs transcript of the
evidence taken at the hearing last Week
respecting the new classification or
freight made by the official classitica
tion committee.
The proposed classification is to be
made effective on January 1st, by all
railroads using the Official classitica
ton. These include more than sixty
lines east of the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. 1ne
petition of the shippers was that the
commission should transmit the evidence
taken before it to the Attorney General
with a recommendation that he institute
legal proceedings, by injunction or other
wise, TO restrain the railroads from
putting the new classification into eff
feet.
TO the request of the shippers the
commission i'll part complies. The cyl
dence and arguments are transmitted
to the Attorney GeneraI but without
recommendation.
The letter says:
THE protesting shippers assert that
increases in rates, to the extent effected
by these changes in classification, are
without justification and will result in
excessive charges upon most if not all
of the articles in question They also
allege that hardship and injustice will
further result from the changes whicn
will be made in the relation of rates,
and especially from the increases in the
differences between carloads and less
than carload charges. If their conten-
ton in these respects is well founded. ~
to which we express no opinion, Il wrong
is about to be accomplished which the
commission is powerless to prevent and
for which the act to regulate commerce
affords no adequate redress"
Attorney General Griggs, who is i'll
today, has given, of course, no intimation
vet us to what action, if any, he may
take in the premises Necessarily he
will have to review the testimony before
he can reach an intelligent conclusion.
In any event, it is said, it will be several
days before the matter can be determ-
