JACKSON KICKING.
Claims Railroads Are Too Liberal
With Vicksburg.


Special to the Daily Progress.
JACKSON, June ls.-The wholesale
merchants Of Jackson have raised 8
storm Of protest over the action Of
the railroad commission In granting
radical freight rate concessions to
the wholesale merchants of Vicks-
burg. The commission has ordered
the Alabama & Vicksburg road to
pat in a rate Of 3 cents per hundred
from Vicksburg to Jackson and So
cents per hundred from Vicksburg to
Meridian on grain and grain prod
ucts in carload lots. The Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley road is also order
ed to put in a rate of three cents per
hundred on grain and grain products
from Vicksburg to Natehez and
Greenyille, n rate of five cents on
meat, and four cents on ties and
bagging.
According to the Jackson whole
salers, these rates practically place
Vicksburg in supreme contol of the
wholesale trade Of a goed-sized see
ton Of the state, and will be greatly
detrimental to local business inter-
ests. 1t is assured that Meridian
will also enter lusty protest, and it
is not improbable that the matter
may be carried into the courts. The
railroad companies object to the
granting of such rates, and will CO.
operate with tbs Jackson and Me-
ridian wholesalers.

The Measure Amended and Favor
: ably Reported.
Baton Rouge, La, June 1.-THE
senate committee on judiciary today
amended the Wilson separate car
law and reported it to the senate.
The amendments were presented by
Chairman Murphy, with the consent
and approval of the author of the
street car bill and the indors ement
of the traction officials of Shreveport
and Baton Rouge. The street rail-
road interests of New Orleans are ex-
pected to approve the amendments,
which constitute modification of
the Virginia plan.
Mr.. Murphy prepared the amend
ments along practical lines, with a
view to solving the separate car
question in a feasible way. They
provide that wire screens or parti-
tions may be used to separate the
races in street cars and that the law
shall not become operative until
Jan. /, 1908. The delay is intended
to give the streetc car companies time
to get ready for the change. The
amended bill will come up for con-
sideration in the senate tomorrow
and, should ne fight occur on the
amendments. 1t will probablybe en-
crossed and placed on the calendar
for final passage Thursday.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, June lS.-Mississippi's
drouth continues undated, and each

widespread damage to growing crops.
All reports are of the same tenor and
contain the discourageme that the
prospects which were so bright two
weeks ago for an abundant yield of
both cotton and corn are being rap
idly destroyed by the intensely hot
weather and the dry blasting winds
Corn on the uplands is being yellowed
and twisted, and unless there is "A

be failure.
Complaints of the damage wrought
by cotton lice are more general than
for several years. The lice have
taken complete possession of many
fields, particularly in the delta, and
are stripping the plants of blooms
and foliage. Protective measures
are practically impossible, and a
change of weather conditions is the
only thing that can afford relief.

COURTS DECISION FAvoRs
GATES.
Judge sanborn Denied Right Of oseood
and Fellow Directors to Appeal
From Caldwell's Rulina.

st. Paul. MINI. Oct. 3i.-John w.
Gates. who, with his associates. had
been engaged in legal and financial
battle royal with John C. Osgood and
several directors foF the control of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. won
a decisive victory in the United States
Circuit Court OF Appeals to-day.
The petition for leave to appeal from
the decision of Judge Caldwell of the
Circuit Court made by George F. Bart
lett. stakeholder. ON behalf of Osgood
and his fellow directors. was denied by
Judge Sanborn after few hours ar
gument by counsel In an opinion OF
some length. The decision practically
heads on any legal measures before
the meeting of the board of directors
in December and will compel the Os-
good faction to abide by the appoint
ment of the master in chancery. ID. g.
Beaman and A. NJ. Stevenson. attor-
neys for the petitioners, to-day stated
that further legal action would prob
ably not be attempted. Judge Sanborn
delivered his opinion Immediately up
on the closing OF the argument by At
torney Beamnn. The opinion entered
at length into the legal status OF the
petition for leave TO appeal. Judge
Sanborn briefly reviewed the case from
state court and the transfer of the ac-
tion to the Circuit Court and grant
ing by Judge Caldwell of master in
chancery. He concluded for the de-
termination of the cause that the as
signment of errors was sufficient for
review of the case. but the question in
volved was not the right whether the
petitioner had sufficient cause for an
appeal. but whether an appeal could
be taken at all.
Judge Sanborn denied that the ac-
tion was appealable as IT was not a
final order. He held that the action
of Judge Caldwell In setting day for
the annual meeting and appointing n
master in chancery to preside over the
proceedings was not the continuing OF
an injunction within the meaning OF
the law He dismissed the argument
that appeal could be taken on the
ground that the order was n refusal
to dissolve an injunction. saying that
an amendment OF the law creating the
Circuit Court OF Appeals hnd deprived
that court of Jurisdiction in an appeal
from nm order refusing to dis; olive an
Injunction He further held that
Judge Caldwell, who is also Jr'ige
both OF the Circuit Court and CirSuit
court of Appeals. are coordinate In
authority and jurisdiction and II has
long been the settled policy of the
court that such judges should not re-
view or reverse the decisions OF their
equals.

Lead Trust Enlaroing Its Scope.

New York. Oct 3l.-The lead trust
which the Whitney-RyanGu Guggenheim
combination has formed intends to en-.
large its scope and embrace other and
wider fields.
The present plans point toward con
solidation OF the lead mines In the
Coeur d'Alene district and combina-
tion between the Northwest properties
and the Missouri chain already
wrought.
The Guggenheims who arc inspect
ing the plants in the West are respon-
sible for this idea. 1t is said that they
suggested the Coeur d'Alene proper
ties as a valuable addition to the
lands already obtained. The Whitney
Ryan interests approved the sugges-
tion.
The Guggenheims control the Amer
lean Smelling and Refining Company
When this trust is perfected In detail
It will bear pretty much the snme re-
lation to the smelling and mining
trade that the United States Steel cor
poration does to the steel business.

ROCK ISLAND REACHING OUT.
VIII Build 2e5-Mile Extension From
Pueblo Southwark to Santa
Rosa, New Mexico.

Colorado Springs. Nov. 2.-It is re-
ported that within thirty days the
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific rail-
road will commence the construction
of n 265-m;le extension from Pueblo
south to Trinidad. thence over the
Ration mountains to Santa Rosa, New
Mexico. where 1t will strike the Rock
Island branch hich runs from Liberal,
Kansas. and which connects with the
Southern Pacific system at Ell Paso,
Texas
Several days ago ]. F. Cary, chief
engineer of the Rock Island system
was in the Springs to begin active op-
erations toward this end, but owing to
the failure of the chief roadmaster to
meet him here, Mr. Carey left the
city without accomplishing anything.
He will return shortly with other high
officials of the road and work will be
commenced.
During his stay here Mr.. Carey said
that all the surveys had been made,
and that the distance was 265 miles.
The Rock Island is anxious to get in
to the Las Animas county coal beds.
owing to the present expense of Sc
curing coal that has been transported
over other lines. The second reason
for the new line is the enormous
profit in the tourist business between
California and Colorado, it being stat
ed that eventually the Rock Island
will build road from Santa Rosa TO
San Diego. California, the company
having already opened negotiations
for survey between the two points.
Another projected move is the
building of its own line from Colorado
Springs to Pueblo, this forty-five-mile
run at present being made over ine
Denver & Rio Grande tracks.
