REHEARTNG TO BE ASKED
IN TERMINAL CUSTER CASE
It is Stated that Attorney Gen. Crow
Has Not Abandoned Fight.

jefferson City, Mo-: Despite the ad.
verse ruling OF the Missouri Supreme
CourC in his application for writ OF
Association of st. Louis, Attorney
General Crow will file a motion for
a rehearing. and should this be denied
then an amended petition will be
filed. Though Attorney General Grow
declines to be either interviewed or
quoted in connection with the case,
il can be stated that he will not aban-
don the fight against the association
as long as he has any point from which
to proceed. IT would occasion no sur.
prise, from information which has been
obtained here, if Gen. George B. Davis,
judge advocate general of the war de.
paTtment, were to come to Missouri
so soon as the opinion of the supreme
court is received at Washington, and
break the monopoly by taking posses
sion of the Merchants bridge.
Although, in a similar case in East
St. Louis, in which similar proper
ties were involved, under the juris
diction of the state of Illinois, it was
held by the court of that state that
they were parallel and competing
roads. and a consolidation violated
the constitution of Illinois, which, be.
ing the same as that of Missouri, pro
hibits, in express terms, the CONSOLE
dation of competing and parallel lines
of railway, the Missouri Supreme
Court holds in the majority opinion
that such consolidation, although it
exists, does not violate the Missouri
constitution, which is in the same
terms as the Illinois constitution.

Presumably this desperate action, by
which the costly seaport is laid waste,
is intended to make It as nearly as
possible useless to the Japanese, who
are reported advancing in consider
able force southwark on the Lao
Tung Peninsula.
Russia had planned to make Dalny
one of the greatest commercial ports
in Asia, and, 1t is estimated, had
spent at least S15O,OO0,OOO in improve
ments.
There are reports that fighting has

well as the rumor that firing had been
heard south of Niuchwang lacks con-
firmation in official quarters.
1t is believed that the Japanese will
attempt at Port Arthur to repeat the
strategy of the American forces at
Santiago and force the fleet to go
out and fight in the open sea.
Further progress of the Japanese in
Southern Manchuria is reported in
official dispatches given out Thurs
day night.
The position of the division which
is following the direct road to Hal
Cheng has not been disclosed, and
caution is also apparent in the opera
tions on the peninsula south of Lao

graduation on the Yalu victory, sent

and good wishes, but praised God

at last accounts. they should be in
the immediate vicinity Of the railroad
by this time. It is surmised that a
simultaneous attack at two or more
points may be delivered.
1t is believed that the main body
Of Russians is assembled at Mukden
and that the force at HaiCheng will
be withdrawn as soon as the supplies
from Niuchwang are made safe or
destroyed. The entire Russian force
then probably will retire toward Har-
bin, unless in the meantime the Jap
anese deliver their attack.
The approach of the rainy season,
which will begin in about six weeks,
may hasten operations, the Japanese
especially desiring to become we'll es.
tablished before operations become
too difficult.
The Russians, as they retire, are
burning everything that would be of
value to the japanese, and much suf-
fering among the native population
has resulted
Communication between Port Arthur
and Mukden is again completely inter-
rupted both by railroad and telegraph.
1t is learned here, by way of Shang-
hal, that 10000 Japanese troops left
Chinnampo on board transports May
They were crowded as closely as
possible, and it is belived that at least
part, if not all, landed at Taku-Shan.

RUSSIAN WARSHIPS CUT
OFF FROM VLADIV0sT0K
General Kuropatlxin Preparing for
Desperate Fight at Liao-Yang.

London: The Daily Telegraph's Sc
oul correspondent says: ut is firmly
believed here that a portion of the
Russian Vladivostok fleet has been sue
cessfully shut out and is now in the
Sea of Japan to evade the Japanese
st. Petersburg: That the Russians
are preparing for a desperate fight al
Liao-Yang or Haicheng seems certain
from the meager dispatches received
here since the announcement that the
Japanese have occupied Fung-Wang.
Cheng.
The abandonment Of Niuchwaug Is
practically complete, though it is
stated that a sufficient Russian force
will be left there to prevent any raid
ing by bandits, as feared by the in
habitants. The mines in the harbor
there are still connected with the
dynamo by which they can be explo-
jed and no effort has been made to re-
move them.
General Kuropatkin is busy with
the concentration of his troops, still
making headquarters at Liao-Yang,
while Viceroy Alexieff has transferred
his headquarters to Hardin. Military
experts here believe that unless the
Japanese deliver their attack with I'M
expected strength and quiclSness Kuro-
patkin may soon be able to take the
offensive.
In spite of official assurances that
Port Arthur is well provisioned, fears
are felt that this may not be correct.
A well-supported story is to the effect
that there provisions there for 5000
men for three months only.
The reserves in Moscow and Khar-
koff Provinces. comprising 100000
men, have been called out and will
be hurried to the far East as fast as
possible to reinforce Kuropatkin's
army. The mobilization of four more
army corps along the Volga will take
place in July and August, if not ear
lier.
Among the numerous rumors in cir
culation here ms one that the cruiser
Rurik has been destroyed. The story
is discredited by officials.
The Cossacks seen in Korea and
Eastern Manchuria, it is stated, are
simply scouts trying to keep General
Kuropatkin informed of the enemy's
movements.

COURT REFUSES TO
GUST TERMINAL RAILWAY
Judge CAN'T Dissents and Is Upheld
by Two Justices.

Jefferson City, Mo-: A majority OF
the members of the Supreme Court
in banc Wednesday decided, in an
opinion written by Judge Leroy B
Valiant. and concurred in by Judges
Brace, Burgess and Fox, that the so.
called bridge arbitrary of St. Louis
does not exist contrary to the laws
Of the State, If such arbitrary exists
at all.
The court sustained the demurrer
of the st. Louis Terminal Association,
and denied the custer asked for by
Attorney General Grow in the pro.
ccedings instituted last year.
The Attorney General contended
that the Merchants Bridge Terminal
Company and the Terminal Railway
Association of st. Louis could not
under the laws of the State, be owned
and operated by the same persons,
because such consolidation would be
in violence to the State statute which
holds that no two parallel and Compel
ing lines of railway can be com
bined under one management. It
order to test the law as it applied to
the terminal railways of the State,
and to break up the so-called bridge
arbitrary, Attorney General Grow last
summer filed outer proceedings against
the st. Louis Terminal Railway AS.
ISOLATION and asked that a jury be
selected to hear the evidence.
The Supreme Court received a de-
murTer to the custer which was filed
last fall, and the case was set for
argument at the January term and
submitted.
The demurrer filed by the defend
ant company raised three points-that
the information did not show that the
Merchants Terminal. and Terminal
Railway Association were parallel and
competing lines; that the information
does not show that they are railroads
within tAe meaning of the Constitu-
ton; that the information does not
show that the defendant companies
acquired their properties and provi-
sions after they were authorized to
so do
The majority opinion holds that the
terminal railroads are in a class to
themselves. and differ from lines
which traverse a State and compete
for business and cannot be parallel
and competing because the purpose is
to cause a uniform freight rate to pre-
vail between all railroads having their
terminals in any one city. The Con-
stitution permitted the various rail-
ways entering st. Louis to converge
their termini into one terminus by
serving them with a terminal line.
in reference to the contention that the
Merchants Bridge Company and Ter
minal Railway Association were com
peting lines when they were merged,
the court says:
The facts stated in the information
do not justify the conclusion therein
drawn that the Merchants Terminal
was at the time of the consolidation
complained of a competing line with
tine lines of the respondents"
The court also holds in sustaining
the demurrer that the combination of
the two terminal lines could not be
against public policy, since the Gen
erai Assembly expressly authorized
such combination in 1908.
Judge CAN'T filed a dissenting opin-
ion, which was concurred in by Judge
Robinson and Judge Marshall, which
holds that the demurrer should not
have been sustained.
