Rates on Lumber.

ton, therefore, Judge Speer referred
the facts to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, very much as the court
would make a reference to a master in
such a cause.
1T is clearly settled that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission has no
jurisdiction over a question of rates
until the rates are actually put into
effect; hence, in order to confer this
jurisdiction upon the commission, 1t
is necessary for the court to dissolve
the restraining order. This he did,
with the distinct statement that the
application for injunction might be re-
newed after the jurisdiction of the In
terstate Commerce Commission over the
facts should be vested.
THE lumber manufacturers are en-
tirely satisfied with the decision and
the status of the case. The advance
of rates win go into effect on May
g6. 1t is our purpose Immediately
thereafter to apply to the Interstate
Commerce. Commission to pass upon
facts involved in the question of the
reasonab leness of the rate. We will
then apply to Judge Speer for an in
junction restraining the rate pending
the investigation of the commission.
The court retains full jurisdiction over
the case and after the report of the
Interstate commerce Commission shall
have been filed will be called upon to
enter decree in the cause
Thus it will be seen that the fight
will be continued.
Strong resolutions were adopted
touching the question of car supply or
lack of supply, for the Legislative
Committee to take up first with the
traffic officials of the various railway
companies. and failing in relief there
take the matter UP then with the diff
ferent state railway commissions.
The question of car equipment was
likewise placed in the hands of proper
committee to secure action thereon
and the speediest possible relief from
burdens of the present rules. No
change was suggested or made in the
price.

CASINO VAUDEVILLE
STILL ATTRACTS

A large crowd visited he Casino
last night for the vaudeville perform
ance that is now being given twice
daily. AS usual there was dancing
after the vaudeville.
The company on the boards this week
is a particularly strong one and the
attendance, matinee and night, has
been encouraging. The derailing of a
car on Bolton and East Broad streets
last night caused some little delay
and the schedule of the suburban line
was broken into for a short while.
Besides the matinee at the Casino
this afternoon, Natator, the aquatic
wonder, known far and wide as the
man-fish, will give a special exhibition
in the Casino swimming pool. The per-
Torrance will be for the benefit of the
lady patrons of the resort, and there
will be no admission charge. The Ca
sino swimming pool is becoming as
popular as the vaudeville and restau-
rant.

Mr. William B. Stiliwen of the South
ern Pine Company and Editor White
head of the Southern Lumber Journal
returned 10 the city yesterday from
Triton. where the day before they at
tended the annual meeting of the Geor-
gia Sawmill Association.
The meeting was a success in every
way and the attendance unusually
large. Many new members were added
to the list and the meeting was spirited
and interesting throughout.
About the first business of the meet
ing was to hear the report of the Legis-
lative Committee with reference to the
injunction proceedings before Judge
Emory speer to prevent the railroads
putting into effect the proposed 2-cent
advance in freight rates. The action
of the committee was Endorsed and
commended unanimously with instruc-
lions to ''carry the war into Africa"
and fight it out to the last ditch.
Necessary funds were raised in five
minutes with which to carry the fight
to the highest courts in the land.
Wholesalers and others not eligible to
membership in the association came to
its relief with handsome contributions
and the fight, it is stated, win be
fight to the finish.
Lest reports of the injunction pro-
ceedings as reported in some quarters
might be misconstrued, Ellis, Wimbish
& Ellis, attorneys for the sawmill peo-
pie, have made the following statement
bearing on Judge Speer's decision:
In view of the fact that Judge Speer
dissolved the temporary restraining or
der, it is possible that the full mean
ing of his decision may not be general
ly understood.
The court decided in favor of the
complainants on all the legal ques-
tions involved and to this extent their
contentious have prevailed. An enor-
nous volume of evidence was intro
duced containing a mass of statistics
and being to a large extent technical
The court was naturally reluctant to
enter upon the consideration of so
great an amount of evidence of this
character in order to determine the
necessary facts; upon his own sugges-

WHY ATLANTA LAWYER
WAS ENGAGED

Mr. William B. Stillwell, who re-
turned yesterday from Triton where
he was in attendance at the annual
meeting of the Georgia Saw Mill Asso-
citation, thinks that an explanation is
necessary in regard to the statement
made that the lumbermen overlooked
Savannah when it became necessary TO
get lawyer to take up the fight of
the manufacturers against the rail-
roads to prevent the increase of rates.

was made by the Georgia Saw Mill AS

Der, Mr.. Stillwell himself is a resi-

fore any action had been taken by the
Savannah Chamber of Commerce a
conference had been held with the
railroads in Atlanta, Feb. "a, and it
was then that the need of a lawyer
was felt and it was then that firm
was engaged.

The largest audience since the begin
ming of the meetings in the Tabernacle,
in the Park Extension, heard the Rev.
T. T. Martin last night. All of the
seats were occupied and number of
listeners stood during the entire serv-
ice. The singing was especially good
last night. Mr.. Cooper announced that
he needed two additional altos, also
two bassos to make the choir as
strong as needed. l9
The services are held at 4SO o'clock

service especially for children and
young people will be held. Bible read
ing especially for the Hebrews has
been announced for, Monday evening.
Evangelist Martin, as usual. last
night took his text from both the au-
thoriZed translationoof the Bible, and
from the Catholic Bible. 1t was Isaiah
1886. In the former it read, But He
was wounded for Our transgressions;
He was bruised for our iniquities, the
chastisement of our peace was upon
Him and with His stripes we are
healed. All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to
his own way; and the Lord hath laid
on him the iniquity of us ALL In the
Catholic Bible read: But He was
wounded for our iniquities; He was
bruised for our sins, the chastisement
of our peace was Upon Him, and by
His bruises we are healed All we like
sheep have gone astray, every one hath
turned aside into his own way,
and the Lord hath laid
on him the iniquity of US ALL" The
| evangelist said, when a poor young
man steals something, he is called a
thief wnen q rich young man steals
something he is called a kleptomaniac
When poor woman gets drunk she is
called a drunkard; when a society
woman gets drunk, her friends sadly

dipsomania. But, friends, in each case
| it is an old-fashioned thief and an old

| that society makes, vainly trying to
shield its guilty members, God makes

The first excursion of the season to
Tybee Island arrived yesterday morn
ing over the Seaboard Air Line. The
excursionists, of which there were a
large number, sought the salts early
in the day, and the morning trains to
Tybee carried down great numbers Of
them intent upon getting a dip in old
ocean. The day was a warm one, and
the ocean was unusually inviting, and
many took advantage of the occasion
offered for a dip in the surf.
AT Hotel Tybee many of the excur-
sionists enjoyed themselves in dancing
on the pavilion, music being furnished
by Levin's orchestra Nearly all of
the excursionists returned to the city
