Rates Of January I
 Are To Be Restored.

the beneft of discussions of these questions between the trafic manager of the complainants and the secretary of the railroad commission.
 In the pressure of. other duties, the court at this time cannot do more now than to state the general conclusions which led to the decree it will make.
 The eighth paragraph of complain ants bill states that it has charged and received for the transportation of intra-state freight and passenger traf- fic, and for mall. express and other intra-state traffic over it's lines in Ala bama, rates which though just and req sonably low, were as high as they were allowed by law or by coHspetitive con ditions and other circumstances af- fecting said traffic on each of its said lines,
 The probable effect of the reduced rates are illustrated and shown by the income and disbursements for the past two years. and particularly for the tis- cal year ending June 30, 1906, which complainants allege were their best business years, and under conditions more favorable they aver. than would exist in the near future.
 The table of figures is based up- on the operation of the laws in force prior to January 1. 1907. and with the income of the past as a basis, do not leave the effect of the reductions so doubtful or uncertain as to justify ex- perimentation. But this experience Is based upon the income of complain ants under the laws in force prior to January 1. 1907.
 If it be permitted to charge the rates then allowed by law, 1t will re- ceive the moderate income, which 1t n 4U myI l..k Ia lass those laws, and competitive eondit- ions existing before the passage of the statutes complained of. Allowing compiainants to charge those rates will not subject 1t to the loss from the op- eration of the reduced rates, which will apparently follow. if those rates are now enforced. and there will be ire parable loss. If the rates complained of are not suspended and enJoined.
 No Raise after January i.
 'In the present posture of the case, and before final hearing furnishes the basis of a permanent decree, complain ants are entitled to no further relief than to be protected in the enjoyment of the rates in force on January l. 1907. and in the absence of special circumstances. 1t is not entitled to in- crease them.
 ssrhe carrier has a right, under the Constitution and laws of the United States. Independent of any State stat ute. to challenge and enjoin a system of maximum rates if. on the whole. their effect is confIscatory. or will de- prive the carrier of an adequate re- turn upon the value of his property. It is the aggregate income Of all the rates. which determines their valid ity.
 'Tf, however, they are not unjust as a whole. the carrier cannot com- plain of particular rate, because in itself ft is not compensatory. The State. for many reasons, may lawful iy exact a particular rate. which in itself Is not compensatory. so long as under the operation cf fAs yvhc1e syste1f of rates the carrier receives "a fair return upon the value of it's property.

 Of the Federal Court.

a young man who refused to work. The witness objected to the outdoor work required of healthy patients. The pa- tients he said. were worked too hard and the food given the patients was insufficient.
 A young man from the Blacks Belt, who has been In the hospital for fifteen years. was next on the stand. He was sent to the hospital when a mere boy. having become a cigarette fiend.
 He was friend and admirer of Hor- ton. the brfnger of the charges against the Hospital. In his opinion. Horton had been sent by God to help the inmates in the Hospital. Ha fre- ouently talked with Horton snd they agreed that they would act together and help the inmates to better treat ment. The nurses, he said. were afraid of Horton. He asked about the knife Horton carried concealed with which he said he was going to kill Nurse Winters. the next time Winters attacked him.
 Denounced Nurses.
 Like the first witness. he denounced the nurses as low. ill-bred people. He had seen patients beaten and he saw one patient struck with a gas stick as he was climbing the stairs. He swears the patient had his ankle brok- en by the blow
 A Blob county patient who was next on the stand, appeared to have po- iltical grievance against Dr. Seareey. The witness declared he was a Dem ocrat from Cape Cod to Hickory Bend,' Dr. Searcey, he declared, had gone oft with the Populist Party and now he would not listen at the witness com. plaints. sE
 The witness Is an epileptic. He gave evidence as to the death of Wal ter Messenger. in. one of the cross halls. The witness was of tho opinion that Messenger had been killed The witness is Confederate veteran.
 Do you get any pension while you are in the asylum7" he was asked \
 Only kick now and then" was his reply.
 DO you draw that here7" asked Chairman King.
 'Yes. draw them. but return sv- cry one of them"
 The witness still recognizes the code of honor. It was his wish he said to meet with pistols at ten paces oIse of the three nurses, who had banged him around and had thrown him into cross hall
 A man from one of the hill coun- ties testified that he had never seen any of the patients beaten! He had. however. seen a Dallas county pa-. tient choked white. The nurses were trying to restrain him. The patient was a quarrelsome. noisy fellow, who was interfering always with other pHo- ples business. The witness thought that choking was the oniy way in which the patient could be handled in his violent moods. W
 The witness flatly denied the state ment that the food was had.
 "The men who make tho complaint are men who fare peter than they ever did at home,1 said ths witness. Ills name was given as one who waa witness of the alleged murder of Hfness but the witness said there was no truth in the statement.
 At l2 o'clock the Commission went into the asylum dining hall to see the patients at,dinner.

TidinEs Are Recelvel.

Washington, Aug. 27.--At the State Department today, the dispatch an- nouncing that peace is now assured in Central America was received with dis tinct pleasure but Acting Secretary Adee pointed out that the influence of the governments of the United States and Mexico was confined to friendly mediation.
 Minister Godoy, the charge of the Mexican embassy, called at the State Department today and conferred with MT. Adee concerning the good news. In discussing the better conditions in Gen. tral America these representative es Of the mediating governments thought 1t probable that the proposition for peace conference of the Central Amer ican republics to be held in Washing ton or in the City of Mexico would be revived.
 The only basis of agreement, 1t is be- lieved, here would be for the United States and Mexico jointly to act as sponsors for the peace pacts with the understanding that any violations would be forcibly quelled and the per- petrators punished This would mean the arbitration of all disputes between the countries.
 Largely through the offices of the Bureau of American Republics the Central American States have been brought to see that continual warfare not only has been costly to the coun- tries but has prevented commercial ad- vancement.

Examination Renewed.

Tuscaloosa, Aug. 27-(Special Cor respondence.)-T Commission this morning renewed its examination of the inmates at the hospital The mem bers drove out in carriages early in the morning and the days session was held in the hospital building. The members sat about a table and the trustees room. to which the patients were brought.
 Two members of the Board of Trus- tees and all members of the Commission sat about the table. The statements Of the patients. including their discussion of their peculiar delusion was record ed with the other evidence by Pat Mo- Gauley, the official stenographer, trav- cling with and recording for the Com mission. The hospital management was represented by its attorneys, Judge J. M Chiffon of Montgomery and Judge J. Mayheld of Tuscaloosa
 There were two newspaper men pres ent with the Commission, behind the closed doors. They agreed to in pro- priety to a mild censorship, in that no names of patients were to be published in the accounts of the hearing. The request was made and granted, in a sympathetic consideration of the peo- ple back at home. To avoid any hu- initiation to the family, which has some unfortunate member within the hos pital walls.
 The Commission had before it first patient from South Alabama. He was a paroniac, and his delusion was hyp- notism. "A scoundrel sent me here by criminal hypnotism." said the patient firmly and positively
 He was quite convinced that the doc tors at the hospital were using hyp- notism on the patients. He argued with the Commission that hypnotism was the only means by which the nurses and doctors could control the patients.
 Only Mere RumOrs.
 This patient had heard that q man from Mobile was killed, but like other witnesses who talked of hospital trag- edies, he did not see the crime, but heard 1t talked of by the other patients. The man had dropped dead in his room after working in the field in the morn ing. He had heard other patients say this man had been beaten in the morn ing.
 He had been mistreated, he said, but had not been beaten fin recent years. He had seen last May In oat harvesting time. young man showed and kicked

New York. August 27-Prospects of a mutually satisfactory settlement of the telegraphers strike appears to be no more promising today than they were a week ago. Oflcials of the West ern Union reiterated the statement that they will not treat with the labor or- ganizations under any circumstances. At the same time. the strike leaders declared that none of their hopes are based upon arbitration. They have ac- cepted as final the expressions of the company officials, they say, and are prepared to prolong the strike until the next session of Congress if neces- sary. Then, they declare. an effort will be made to have the whole question taken before the countrys legislative bodies.
 We are going to keep up the strug- gle until the business interests of the country force congress to act" said President Small of the telegraphers un- ion today. We win be able to hold on until the next session of congress I do not believe the telegraph compa- nies can hold out much longer"
