THE RAILWAY LOST
Greensboro Ice and Coal
Co. Won Case VS..
Southern.

In its case against the Southern Rail
way for failure to place four cars loaded
with coal on tracks built by the South
ern Railway and it, the Greensboro Ice
and Coal Company has just been given a
decision in its favor by the Corporation
Commission, which over rules the excep-
lions of the Southern Railway to its rul-
ing, and says that the Southern Railway
Company should not have demanded de-
murrage.
This order issued yesterday is the final
decision of the Corporation Commission
in the case of the Greensboro Ice and
Coal Company, against the Southern Rail
way. 1t Will be remembered that some
weeks ago the Greensboro Ice and Coal
Company complained to the Corporation
Commission tina the Southern Railway
had refused to deliver cars shipped to
the company on a siding built jointly by
the company and the Southern Railway,
and had moreover laid an embargo upon
freight belonging to the company for de-
murrage alleged to be due. The Corpora
ton Commission. upon the complaint Of
the Greensboro Company issued an order
to compel the Southern Railway to de-
liver the freight upon the siding.
This order the Southern Railway refused
to obey for some six or eight days. Then
some temporary agreement was reached
and the commission went to Greensboro
and heard the matter argued exhaustiveiy
by both sides, and took the case under
a~dvisenent. This order yesterday IS the
result. It over-rules the various eXcep-
lions filed to the original order by the
Southern Railway.
The penalty for refusing to obey an
order of the Corporation Commission is
fixed by law at $500 a day. So the South
ern Railway IS due several thousand dol
lars to the State. This money the peo-
pie of the State will expect to see paid,
IS nothing could be clearer than the law
on this point, to he found IN the act es-
tablishing the Corporation Commission.
It is understood that the Southern Rail
way viii now appeal from this final order
of the Corporation Commission and fight
the matter in the courts. 1t is stated
that the Southern viii seek to get the
ease before The United States Supreme
Court on the matter of Interstate Com
merce, but as parties out Of the State
are not concerned IN the case as IT stands,
it IS hard to see how this can be done.
Mr.. Henry W. Miller, assistant to First
Vice-President A. B. Andrews, of the
Southern Railway, was asked last night
by a News and Observer reporter, whether
or not the Southern Railway would APP
real. He replied that he did not know;
that the whole matter was entirely in the
hands of the second vice-presldent and
general manager. w. ". FINLEY, Of Wash
ington, D.. c. First Vice President A. 3.
Andrews was not in the city.
If this appeal is taken, it will, of course,
operate to delay the paying of the pen
atty incurred until the decision Of the
court.

4 WOBbLY WEEK
Cotton Market Stood in
Its Tracks Yesterday
Prices Still Above Twelve Cents But
the Varying Figures of Past
Week are Expected
This Week.

Cotton did considerable webbing last
week and the performance will probably
be repeated this week.
The bulls had put the market at a h gh
notch, and in Raleigh a local demand had
caused the Raleigh market to lead the
world. The bears went at the figures, eX
pecting a break, but despite the thousands
of bales thrown on the market in blocks
there was but a slight break, and this,
too, a gradual one.
AS compared with Friday cotton stood
N its tracks here yesterday, and this is
surprising in view of the fact that many
room traders on the New York market
let loose their holdings, for as a rule, they
do not like to carry these over to Mon
day. There was no practical change IN
the market, it he'd its own easily, but
closed barely steady.
The receipts here yesterday amounted
to 49, bales, the prices ranging from u
to 1925 cents a pound, the ruling prices
being from Ia is to 1914. A year ago
there was sold here 1O5 bales of cotton at
from s to S Is cents a pound. The re
ceipts this year to this date are 9,751
LAX ~ 1O,Vc III l JIG SdilI1
date, a decrease in receipts on this mar
ket Of 1854 bales.
Little change in the prevailing prices
are expected between this and the Christ
mas holidays, but the prices are expected
to wobble, but the wobble one way or the
other is not expected to be a very great
one The tone of the market is 5000.
New York spots and Liverpool spots were
I 9TH L;-Jo --o-+~-1o- +L>, Tv.I,--
and the statistical conditions Of the mar
ket continue strong, indicating a higher
price for cotton later on.
These views of the cotton market are
based upon conditions as they existed
Yesterday, but as has been said, 'cottor
is a fool and you don't know what it is
going to do. Anything unusual that takes
place will make a change, but If anything
unusual does happen, this IS expected
from TIE bull side Of the market, and it
would then be in the nature Of an adj
vanced price.
Said a prominent cotton mill man yes
terday In talking of the meeting in Char
lotte: "There is a wrong idea held by
many as to the purpose of the mill men.
We do not want to drive down the price

was too much cotton made the farmers
were urged to decrease their acreage, or IN
other words, to curtail their crop. We
simply want to decrease our output, to
curtail it, in order that with {, less sup
ply of cotton goods produced the market
may advance. We do not wish to hurt
either farmer or mill operatives, but we
do want to preserve the properties in
our keeping, and We do want to sell goods
1T a profit. If We don't why in the very
nature of things we would have to so

CBy the Associated Prcss.D

Washington. D. c., Dec. 12.-The state
Department has been informed that final
steps have been taken for the formation
OF a permanent republican form OF gov
ernmcn in Panama. The news came ii
a dispatch from Consul General Gudger,
dated Panama, today. as follows:
Election for constitutional convention
called for January 4. The convention
meets January 20th.'
This action is taken. it IS believed, to
meet suggestions from PanamaIans here
that criticisms of the new republic would
be largely disarmcd and the status 81
the new treaty improved if the ina rati-
f~cations could be exchanged By the Uni
ted States with a permanent and regular
form OF government On the isthmus. The
territory of Panama is SO small that, ac-
cordIng to the belief here, the elections
can be completed within a week after the
date named-January 4th. The convention
IS expected TO follow generally the our
lines of the Cuban constitution. winch
is regarded as the most modern ara Tx
complete model of such documents.
