IN FAVOR Q RAILROADS
SUPREME COURT FILES IMPORTANT
DECISION ON INTERSTATE
COMMERCE LAW
AS TO LONG AND SHORT HAULs
Findings of Circuit Court and Cir
cult Court of Appeals Reversed
Interstate Commission
Turned Down.

WASHINGTON, April SIN the United
States supreme court today an opinion
was handed down by Justice White in
various cases inVClVing the long and
short haul clause of the interstate COM
merce law. The principal opinion was
rendered in the case of the East Ten
nessee & Georgia Railroad company, and
the charge was to the effect that lower
rate was charged on freight carried to
Nashville than was charged on freight
to Chattanooga, the distance to the first
point being greater than the latter. The
decisions of the interstate commeg ee
commission, the circuit court and the
circuit court of appeals were all antago-
nistic to the railroad company though
on different grounds. The opinion handed
down today reversed all these decisions
and vas in favor OF the railroad COM
pany though without prejudice. The de-
cisions in other similar cases were on the
same lines.
Two other cases decided were proceed
ings against the Clyde Steamship COM
pany, while the fourth was against the
Western Atlantic Railroad company. In
the latter case the charge Of discrimina-
ton was made with reference to the
rates from Cincinnati to Atlanta, as
when at other places on the line of road
between the two points, including Mari
eta, Gainesville, Kingston, Adairsville
and Calhoun. In one of the Clyde cases
rates on the Georgia railroad are in
Volved, and in the other case the rates
on the West Point & Western railroad of
Alabama.
In his opinion in the East Tennessee
case Justice White said that the decision
of the circuit court was not in accord
with the finding of facts by the COM
mission. The decision of the supreme
court was the decree of the circuit
court of appeals should be reversed with
costs and the case remanded to the cir
cult court with instructions to set aside
its decree and adjudging that the order
of the commission be enforced and to
dismiss the application made for that
Pun pose with costs, the whole to be with
out prejudice to the right of the commits
sion to proceed upon the evidence already
introduced before it upon such further
pleadingS and evidence as it may be
allowed to be made or hear and deter
mine the matter in controversy according
to law.
In the cases of the Clyde Steamship
company the decree of the circuit court
of appeals and OF the circuit court were
modified by providing that the dismissal
of the bills shall be without prejudice to
the right of the interstate commerce COM
mission, If it so elects to make an orig
inal investigation of the questions con-
tanned in the records pertinent to com
plants presented to that body.
AS so modified the DEGREES were at

GLENwooD,s FAT MAN.
Lee Trickey Has Lost Trifie OF
$50 Pounds.

$50 Pounds.
GLENWOOD, Wis, April S-Glen-
woods famous fat man, Lee Trickey, Is
losing his grip on the proud distinction
of being the heaviest man in the United
States, if not in the world. From an ex-
IRENE avoirdupois of 10 pounds, which
he reached a few years ago, he has
dropped to a mere featherweight of $50
pounds. The unacquainted might mag
inc that this loss of flesh Is source of
regret to him, but such Is not the case.
Trickey has always lamented his extra
ordinary bulk and now that 1t has been
reduced by $50 pounds, he rejoices rather
than mourns and is seeking to effect q
still greater reduction. At the time his
picture was printed In the daily papers
a few years ago, his weight was about
CSC, and at that time the claim was
made, and it met with no denial, that he
was the heaviest man In the United
States. Heavy as he is, Trickey follows
daily the occupation of a teamSter; In
deed, this is his only means of liveli-
hood, for he is a poor man with 125-
pound wife to support, and although he
has and could still make a good salary
posing as enc of the star attractions Of
q Minneapolis dime museum, he prefers
the quieter life of a country town. An
other deluSion that people labor under
with regard to Tricky is that he is a
| heavy cater. This is exactly the reverse
of the case, for he really doesn't east as
much at meal as an ordinary 13)-pound
man. He is now twenty-Seven years old
but reached the 800 mark several years
before he attained his majority.

LOWER RATES TO alaska.
Shippers of Merchandise to Receive
benefit of Cut.

At q conference of the managers of the
ste9 mShip lines engaged in the Alaskan
trade, it was decided to reduce the
freight rates to Cape Nome from Seat
tie, from $40 to $50 per net ton. This
decision was reached Saturday, and the
coast railroad lines were notified of the
reduction yesterday. On the passenger
end of the business the rates remain
unchanged, quotations to Cape Nome
varying from $125 to $50 for f3rst-claSs
passage, according to the size and &C
commodations of the steamers.
The lines affected in the freight re-
Guction are the North American Trading
& II ansportation company, the Pacific
Coast Steamship company, the British
American line. the Empire line. the
White Star line, and the Pacific Clipper
line.
For the first boat out of Seattle, which
sails about the last of this month, the
rates are considerably higher, $500 being
asked for, first-class passage, $3.50 for
second, and sc per ton for general mer-
chandise. Most OF the companies will
send up their first boats along about the
end of May, as it has been found that it
is not always safe to reach st. Michaels
before the river is free of ice.
The announcement that the freight
rates to Nome and st. Michaels have
been cut 70 per cent will be very well
come to these who annually ship hun
dTeds Of tons to the far north.
