Judge Holt Reviews Evidence.

Judge Holt In his charge reviewed the evidence and the history of passage of the I1lkins act and said it was for the jury to determine with what intent the $26,000 check had been paid. whether it had been for rebates or for a legitlrlate overcharge In his charge to the jury Judge Holt reviewed the evidence as ed- duced as well as the history of passage of the Elliins act. Judge Holt fixed November 20 as the date for argument on a motion to arrest Judgment

In denying the motion Judge Holt said he thought the Elkins act sufficiently binding upon the accused and that there was sufficient evidence to send to the jury. The words shall be- in the law, Judge Holt said, did not relate to futurs transportation alone, but to dscrinina- tions that might be or had been attempt ed to bring about shipments at less than the tariff or published schedule. United States District Attorney Stimson, who made the concluding argument for the government, said that the Ell1ins act had been passed when unjust discriminations had made the situation between carrier and the unrecognized and unfavored shipper intolerable.
 Mir. Stimson said the illegal contract had been made by MT. Pomeroy and MT. Clifford to get the trusts business. He then argued that the violation of the law had not been fully completed until the $26,Go0 check had been paid over to the sugar company. It was a brazen evasion of a well known law, Mir. Stim- son declared, and of the known will of congress. He asked if there was noth- ing wrong or illegal about the trans action why .he secrecy and the necessity y to have 1t completed in an irregular man ner.

Choate, either as lawyers or judges what a law really means until the supreme court of the United States has spoken" He maintained that contracts made by the defendant under the old interstate com merce law granting lower rates than the regular schedule and carried out subsequent to tho passage of the EIllins act, did not constitute a violation of that act; that the practice of rebating or granting lower rates was not looked upon a criminal offense At that time he argued, there were many powerful cor poration more skillful in evading the existing interstate law than the carriers themselves

Will Disinter Body.


 Mayor Atkins has received a communi- cation from the superintendent of the national cemetery at Mobile, asking for authentic information about the finding of the supposed body of a Union soldier while digging grave in Elmwood ceme- tery about month ago. The Mobile superintendent states that he has been directed by the quartermaster of the de- partment of the gulf to have the body disnterred and buried in the '>asnetery in Mobile and steps will be taken to identify the remains as a Union soldier. The Selma Journal and the Mobile Register have united in an effort to have the re- interrment made one in which the Ma tional Guard and Confederate veterans will take part, and 1t is probable that they will be successful.

SELMA TO PAVE STREETS

Selma, November 15.-(Special) )-Meagre reports of the brave act of a woman at Maplesvile Tuesday night have reached Selma. Tho heroine was Mrs. Henson. wife of the station agent at that place, about thity-fve miles north of Selma on the Southern railway. Tuesday night MT. Henson had to go away and left his wife in charge of the station. She is an expert telegraph operator and while at the key in the office looked over her shoulder to find a burly negro advancing upon her and about to lay hands upon her. As quick as flash she seized a pistol lying near on the table and fired point blank at the advancing form. The negro turned and ran. The next morning blood stains were found along the sta- tion platform, showing that the aim of the young woman had been true.

GERMANY CLINICS TO RAGS
Endeavors to Keep Paper Making
Material from Being Shipped
to America.

German manufacturers OF paper are
urging the reichstag to impose an ex-
port duty on rags other than wColen.
with the object OF preventing their ex-
portation to the United STATES The
bill provides for an export duty Of SO
cents per 100 pounds. or sl2 per ton.
which, says the New York Herald. Will
practically prohibit the expectation.
The New York Paper Dealers asso-
citation has taken the matter up with
the view Of asking for retaliatory leg
islation by congress. The enactment
OF such a law would close up many
houses IN New York that confine their
business entirely to the importation OF
French and German rags, and It is as
serted that as a result the prices of
all kinds OF paper will be advanced.
II is understood that France will take
the same action. Peretz Rosenberg, a
member Of one of the New York
houses. says:
This matter is much more serious
than many suppose in its relation to
the paper industry OF this country.
The proposed duty is practically pro-
hibitive, and the matter will not end
there, for France is sure to take some
action along the same line. There has
been talk here OF placing a duty on
rags for nearly two years.
IN the calendar year 1905 there were
s2,3ss,52S worth OF rags other than
woolen imported into the United
States, about one-half coming from
Germany. There were imported from
Germany sS,7S0.554 worth Of paper and
the German manufacturers think that
II an export duty were placed on rags
more paper would be exported to this
country. Before rags were imported
10 any considerable extent from Ger
many paper manufacturers there could
obtain rags for almost any price they
wanted 70 pay; but the demand from
the United States has increased so
In the last few years that they have
had 70 pay much higher prices"
