L. A. Slayer, representing the Chat
tanooga compliments and the Inter
state Commerce Commission. said the
differences in the rates to the two cities
constituted a violation of sections 1.
and of the Interstate Commerce Act.
He said the freight rates made by the
defendant companies on different kinds
and classes of freight, from New
York. Boston, Philadelphia and other
seaboard points, are higher. for the
shorter distance to Chattanooga than
for the long distance over the same
line and in the same direction to
Nashville.
These rates, it was alleged, subject
ed the city of Chattanooga and its
business men to undue and unreason-
able prejudice and unlawful discrimi-
nation. -
Edward Baxter of Nashville. repre-
senting the railroads. admitted that
there was no question as to the differ
ences of rates, but alleged the roads
had the right to fix any tariff neces-
sary to enable the business on it's line
to develop.
Traffic Must Be Developed.
He argued that railroad had the
right to put into operation such q
schedule of rates for carrying freight

would enable the cities thereon s6 in.
augurate competition with cities or
other and competing lines. 1t was nc
part of the duty of a railroad conn
pany, he commended, to destroy a city
on it's own line by maintaining such
traffic as would prevent the develop
ments of it's business. He argued the
necessity of rail lines meeting water
transportation rates. He cited the
government aid in trans continenta
railroads in support of the argument
that a railroad has right to develop
traffic on it's lines.

Macon, Ga, Oct. 21.-Judge Emory
Speer to-day in the United States Dis
trict Court rendered very far-reach-
ing opinion on the application of AL
bert Jones, tax collector of Bib coun-
ty. 1t was that all funds held by
trustees in bankruptcy or other fiduc-

courts are liable to state and county
taxation.
1t has not been the practice hereto
fore to collect such taxes on funds in
the various repositories pending liqui-

the opinion is:
When a fund is held by a trustee
In bankruptcy or other fiduciary agent
OF the court. which. but for the 1iti-
cation, would have been liable for tax

we see no reason why the court should
not on proper application direct the
payment of current assessments of
valid taxes thereon, to the appropriate
tax collector"

Governments Action

Governments Action.
Paris Oct. 21.-The French miners
strike was brought up in the Chamber
of Deputies to-day in the form of a
Socialist Interpolation, criticising the
governments military measures to pro-
tect non-strikers. M. Thivrier, Social
list deputy from Montlucon, declared
that the government by placing troops
at the service of the companies was
abandoning it's neutrality and he de-
manded their recall. The debate was
adjourned until Thursday.
Advices received from the coal fields
to-day show that disorders of a minor
nature are becoming more frequent.
There have been repeated attempts at
intimidation, and so many endeavors
to derail trains carrying non-strikers
at DeCazeville, in the coal mining dis
trict of the department OF Aveyron,
have been made that the authorities
there have been compelled to have the
trains bearing non-strkers preceded
by train filled with soldiers, which is
itself preceded by a pilot engine.
