(3) When the owner of the car becomes a dealer in the commodity transported. the fact of ownership gives him an important advantage over his competi- tor. {4) When the owner of the car is also the owner of the commodity transported, an excessive rental for the car may amount to a preference in the freight rate, as against the shipper who does not own his car.
 Private freight cars are either owned by the shipper or a. private car line. This ownership Is not without it's ad- vantage to the carrier by enabling 1t to provide equipment for special pur- poses during limited periods. and to the public in that the equipment is likely to be more adequate than if the carrier undertook to own the cars it. self or to secure them from its con- nections.

JOHNSTON EFT AL ys. LITTLE. Bill in Equity to establish and en-
 force Constructive Trust.--Appeal
 from the City Court of Birmingham
 in Equity.
 l. Trust and trustee; when fraud re- suits in constructive trust.-In trans action looking to the purchase of lands, where the relation existing between the parties purchasing said lands is confidential, neither of said parties can make a profit for himself at the ex- pense of another of said parties by de- ceiving him as to the purchase price, and If by such deception. he acquires an interest in the property so pur- chased, he is guilty of fraud upon the other party. and subjects himself to accountability in equity as upon a trust constructive raised for the ben- eft of the injured party.
 2. Bill in equity attacking transaction as fraudulent; proper parties thereto Where a bill in equity Is filed attacking a transaction as fraudulent, 1t is per- missible to join as party defendant any person who was a party to the fraud against the complainant.
 3. Same; multifariousness. - Where in a bill filed in the Chancery Court, the complainant's equity as against all the defendants rests primarily upon an alleged fraud practised upon him in the purchase of lands, and as against some Of the defendants, the relief sought is the establishment of a con- structive trust in the land, and its en- forcement for the satisfaction of a | single demand, such bill is not multi farious.
 3. Equity Jurisdiction; when purely legal demand does not render bill null tifarious.-Where a bill is filed for an equitable purpose. and its averments show that 1t contains equity so far as it seeks to establish a constructive trust. the incorporation into such bill | of a purely legal demand, does not rem der it multifarious.
 4. Equity Jurisdiction: accounting when remedy at law sufficient.-where | a bill is filed for the purpose of estab- | fishing and enforcing a constructive
 trust by reason of fraud practised by the parties defendant upon the com plainant, in which they induced the | complainant to pay all of the pur- chase price on the land. at the same time representing to him that they were paying one-half of said purchase price, and the bill, in addition to the establishment of the trust, seeks an accounting for and a recovery of one- half the money so paid by the com- plainant, that part of the bill which seeks such an accounting and recov- cry of one-half the money is subject to demurrer upon the ground that the complainant had a complete and ade- quate remedy at law for the recovery of said money.

Years Record of Railways.

From a statement by The Railway Age 1t appears that during the year 1904 eight railways. with a total of "A miles and a capitalization of $36,- 06s,o00, represented by $14.262,o00 in bonds and $21,S07,000 in capital stock, were placed in the hands of receivers Compared with 1903 the number of roads Is one smaller but the mileage is greater by 515 miles and the capital involved Is about double. or $17,236,000 more than in that year.
 The principal road for which a re- ceiver was appointed is the Detroit Southern, with a length of 369 miles or more than one-half the total for the year, while it's bonded debt of SS,- 16O,0O0 and it's capital stock of $S,- 000,00 make a total of $25,160,000, or more than two-thirds the entire capi- talization subjected to receiverships in the year.
 The next largest road in the list is the Brunswick and Birmingham, 113 miles, bonds $2,10o.o0o. capital stock $1695.000. The receivership was a preliminary step to the absorption of this road into the Atlantic and Birm- ingham, which was completed by fore- closure sale later in the year. The only other roads for which receivers were appointed are the Queen Anne's in Maryland and Delaware eighty miles; Berkley. g. C., ten miles; Texas Southern. seventy-two miles; Cincin- nati Bluffton and Chicago. twenty nine miles: Chicago. Indiana and East
 ern. forty-three miles, and Raleigh and Western. eight miles. The receiv- CT for the latter company. appointed in March, was discharged in August and the road was thus taken out of the list of those in the hands of receivers.
 The receivershlp record for 1904 shows greater mileage and capitali- zation than either of the three pre- ceding years, but is much smaller in respect to number of roads, mileage and amount involved than that of 1900 and of any previous year since 1881. The following is a summary of the re- ceiverships for the last ten years:
