THE TELEPHONE CASES.
Justice Barnard's Decision 10 he
Handed Down TOmorrny

Justice Barnard. of the Supreme Court Of
the District, will announce his decision in
what are known as the telephone cases to-
morrow morning. He has had the matter
under consideration. for several weeks. and
his decision is anXiously awaited, not alone
by the parties directly interested, but by
the members of the bsr generally
The question in dispute is whether the
act Of Congress of June 30. 1898, regulating
the price for telephone service is consti-
tutional. In consequence OF the act nearly
los of the patrons of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company fled petitions
for injunctions asking the court TO restrain
the telephone company from removing its
instruments and appliances from their
places Of business because they refused TO
pay the long established rates charged by
the defendant. The act referred to liked
the highest rate chargeable for the use of
single instrument at $50. while the price
charged by the telephone company is pore
than twice that amount. In each instance
where the subscriber for telephone So ice
rendered quarterly payment at the rate
fixed by the act OF Congress il was re
fused and the patron notified that if the
company's rate were not paid the ius;ru-
ment would be removed from the premises
When the petitions for injunctions were
filed the court granted temporary restrain
ing orders in each case.
Since then both parties have been TAX
ing testimony in support OF their corten-
tons. The telephone subscribers conLend
that the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company is being conducted on n
very expensive plan, that exorbitant sal
aries are paid TO its officers, and that AS a
matter of fact the service could be fur
nished at great deal less price than that
charged. On the other hand, the marage-
ment OF the telephone company maintains
that the business of the company is con-
Quoted on as economical plan as possible
and that there Is no unavoidable outlay
of money. either for salaries or anything
else in connection with the business of
the company. Further than this. the de-
PENDANT claims. that the act of Congress
regulating the price OF telephone service
in the District is unconstitutional and, If
carried into effect, would virtually mean n
confscation of its property and franchises.

RIVER FRONT PROPERTY.
Its RiEhtfuI. Ownership to he Decid-
ed by the Attorney GencrnI

The Attorney for the District yesterday
recommended to the Commissioners that
the question as TO the right of the Great
Falls Ice Company to occupy the public
space on the river front at the foot of
Second Street southeast be referred TO the
Attorney General for decision The Engi-
neer Department of the District desires to
establish a storage yard for the reception
Of materials for the construction of the
new sewer pump house on adjacent prop
erty. 1t has been thought that the prop
erty in question belongs TO the Government
and that the District has the right to dis
possess the ice company. The latter have
used the property for some time past and
have numerous buildings and outhouses
erected thereon. As there was some doubt
about the matter it was referred to At
torney Duvall
In his opinion on the matter Mr. Duvall
stated that the question was one which
was difficult to decide or render Il safe
opinion upon with the Information at hand.
He states that the rights of the Comms-
sioners or the Government TO this particu-
lar property are doubtful and the question
brings forward more difficulties than the
Potomac Flats cases.
In view OF the Importance of the qucs-
tion raised, the Attorney for the District
recommends that the Commissioners refer
the matter to the Attorney General of the
United States for his opinion of the rights
o! the District in the premises.
At the direction of Commissioner Wight
a letter was forthwith addressed to Attor-
ney General Griggs, setting forth the facts
in the case and requesting an opinion on
the matter at the earliest practicable mo-
ment

asking that the Commissioners of the
District, or their agents. be restrained
from cutting off the water connection be-
tween premises 309 and 800 VI Street
southwest He states that the property
referred to is owned by HIM and is occu-
pied by his tenants. and tina: Thomas E.
Waggaman is his agent.
Mr.. Pilling states that in april last and
again last month, the Commissioners
served notice on his agent. Waggaman. in
forming him that the hydrant in use on
the premises was out of order. 1t was
also stated that the hydrant in question
could not be repaired, or that a similar
one. that is. of the same make, could not
be substituted for the defective one. This
order. the petitioner declares. is arbitrary
and unjust, and asks the court TO restrain
the Commissioners from severng the
water connection between his premises
and the public water main during the PEN
dency OF these proceedings.
