tion was ordered came from p. NJ Brown
and others Of Charlotte and the order
was made on February 27, after hearing
the petitioners and railways III Charlotte
and personel examination OF the
grounds by the Commission.
The Southern Railway asks the Com
mission to decline to take jurisdiction
or modify the findings and rescind the or
der and affirms that the Corporation
Commission is not a legally qualified
body that it's rulings are in violation
of the United States and State Consti-
tutions, that the order deprives the
Southern of its property without just
compensation, that the place selected for
the Union depot is not suitable that their
read deems it unnecessary and inconven-
lent for the travelling public, that the
Commissions finding was upon INSULT
cient evidence. and the order is unrca-
sonable. unjust and is confscating oil
property.
The grounds of the exceptions in full
ar4 as follows:
j. The North Carolina Corporation
Commission is not a body, or court, by
whatever designation termed legally
constituted under the Constitution of the
United States, and under the Constitution
and laws Of the State of North Carolina
and has NOT the jurisdiction and author
ity to entertain the said petition and pro-
ceeding and to make the said rulings and
order. That the act purporting to estab
lish the said Commission is violative OF
the eighth section of Article OF the
Constitution of North Carolina
,. That the said rulings and orders
are in violation of the Constitution OF the
United States in its fifth amendment III
that the same, if carried into effect. will
deprive this respondent Of its property
without Just compensation therefor
3. That the said rulings and orders are
in violation OF the Constitution Of the
United States in its fourteenth amend
n;cnt in that the same, if carried into
effect, will deprive this respond eEt of its
property without due process of law, and
will deny to this respondent the equal
protection Of the law.
T. That the said rulings and order are
in violation OF the Constitution OF North
Carolina in that the effect of the same

would be to deprive this respondent OF
It's property without just compensation.
). That the Corporation Commission
finds as fact that the Southern Rail-
way and the Seaboard Air Line Railway
own land at their junction sufficient for
the construction of a Union Passenger
Station at such junction. when in truth
the lands referred to are neither suitable
or adequate for such a purpose, end
whereas the construction of a station
at such junction would not be convenient
to the citizens of Charlotte and the trav-
cling public, and would be inconvenient
and oppressive to the respondents, and
the maintenance of such station would
constitute great and unnecessary bur
den upon this respondent.
G. That the Corporation Commission
find as a fact that it is practicable for
the respondents to construct and main
tain a station at such junction, and that
the necessities of the case require its
erection, whereas in truth the erection
Of such Union Station at such junction
is not practicable and necessary, and
it's operation would be inconvenient to
the travelling public.
Z. That the Corporation Commission
VfS GIL not authorize ana approve the
course proposed by this respondent to
enlarge and improve the station now
maintained by this respondent on Trade
street in the city of Charlotte, which
would be greatly to the advantage of the
citizens of Charlotte and all other per-
sons.
s. For that the order and findings of
the Commission are based upon unsuffi-
ciert evidence, and the order is unrea-
sonable, unjust, and amounts to con-
hscation IN part of the property of this
respondent.
, Wherefore this respondent asks that
the Corporation Commission decline to
take jurisdiction of the petition, or that
the findings be modified in accordance
with these exceptions, and the order be
|rcscinded

Have They Shut 0uf the Muscovite Fleet
CRv the Associated Press. J

London, March 7.-Up to late hour
this afternoon the Japanese Legation
here had received no official information
the bombardment of Vladivo-
stock 1t is believed at the legation, how
ever, that the Japanese are now between
the Russian cruiser squadron and Vladiv-
ostock, and there is reason to believe that
the Russian squadron is in the vicinity
of Possiet Bay
Russian official dispatches do not men,
ton this squadron, and thi sfact lends
color to the belief that the Japanese war
ships have shut it out of Vladivostock.
1t is pointed out at the legation that if
this is true the Russian vessels are, in a
critical position since they must run the
gauntlet of the Japanese squadron off
Vladivcstock or the Japanese squadron
off Port Arthur before reaching Russian
port.

His horse was i'll the habit OF baking

The theory is advanced by some that
