The question of facts and the trial of
the case which will consist largely OF
citations of law Will probably consume
the time of the court for the remainder
of the term which ends the first of
next week.
While the suit is brought in the name
of w r. Hogsett it is in reality tight
between the holders of the guarantee
and series stock and if the contention
of the plaintiff is sustained Will mean a
nun1b Der of similar suits unless the
ruling Of the court is held to afTect all
holders of guarantee stock At the
time the company was formed Two
grades of stock were issued the guar
antee stock having a speculative value
which under the laws of the state made
the possibilities of its earning value
greatly in excess of that of the series
stock.
The moneys received for lapses and
from other sources being turned into
the guarantee fund which was used 10
secure the series stock, the excess 10
go to the holders of the guarantee
stock. Under this system the holders
of guarantee stock might have received
returns On their investment which
nude the stock much more valuable as
an investment than that of the series.
When the company was formed four
issues of stock of 81 600. 900 each were
made 100000 of each issue being
termed series stock and 500, 600 was
known as guarantee stock, giving the
company series stock valued at $5,6OOt-
600 and guarantee valued at 100000
The plan of the association is much the

the rebutting argument for that state

tended to. support the Colorado law OF
water appropriation but he also con-
tended that under the common law pre-
vailing, that state is sustained. he
claimed that even under the general
law the state has right to use the
waters within its borders for beneficial
purposes under the rule of priority OF
appropriation. He declared that there
was practically no testimony to show
that Kansas had suffered any damage,
the only question involved. Even the
Kansas witnesses were not agreed on
that point. He ridiculed the idea that
there could ever have been any naviga-
ton on the Arkansas in Kansas.

Colorado was made by Attorney Joel

merce commission today continued the
investigation into the shortage of cars
on railways which was begun in Mime
apoiis two weeks ago The first wit
ness was w b. Biddle, vice president
q the Chicago, Rock Island q Pacific.
he declared that conditions in the
south at the present time are worse
than those in the north. This was
caused. he said, by the inadequate
terminal facilities in the south. AT
Galveston, he said. traffic on ali OF the
roads is congested throughout the year.
II believe" said Mr. Biddle, that
the railroads are doing everything in
their power to relieve existing condi-
tons. The fault lies mainly with ship
pers who having inadequate storage
facilities at tn cir places of business use
cars for that purpose. In some cases
the cars stand for weeks at a time at
the terminals because of the failure of
shippers to handle them quickly. My
opinion is that As hours is the limit of
time which should be allowed for the
unloading Of cars.

it is a difficult problem as many ship
