Wilson, the ticket agent of the same road who were recently sentenced to thirty days on the chain gang for violation of the law. Were discharged on habeas corpus proceedings.
 In his decision Judge Pritchard aaid that the penalties inflicted by the judicial hearing and would amount 70 two and one-half million dollars day if the penalty was enforced on the sale of each ticket. which is eight times more than the amount involved in the original suit. Also that 1t would do violence to the comity which exists be- tween the state and federal courts lives to official or state courts. Judge Pritchard remarked that if such course of conduct was permitted 10 te pursued 1t would have the effect of defeating the Jurisdiction of the United States courts.
 After Judge Pritchard had signed the Judgment. Judge J. Fl. Merrlmon, special counsel for the state. gave mo- tice of appeal and waived bonds. but under the law the court fixed bond of $200 each for Wood and Wilson.
 Both sides Go-operatee, ase,,s to ,n mahe al1sr the present the point at issue to the su- preme court.

Overton Anti Trust BiN Not to Be
 Pressed Ln Present Form

The antitrust bill; which is a copy of the Texas law, and which was in- troduced by Senator Overton. will not be insisted upon in it's present form by its author or by any considerable portion of the Senate membership. A substitute will be offered in a milder form.
 Senator Overton said in reference to his bill:
 "I am not disposed to insist upon a measure which may. as many claim. in- terfere with legitimate business organ zations. It is possible that the bill in its present form may do that. At any rate such claims are being made:
 But I do think that there should be some restrictions on the combina- tion of capital We can arrange a subs stitute which can contain such regula-
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-07-23

tion without working a hardship upon legitimate business interests. I do not see why there should be objection to a trust regulating act, based upon the Federal acts on the same question:"
 The present bll was drawn up with the Texas law as a model. But the Texas act proved to be so far reach- ing that the law makers who passed 1t have realized that they made a mis- take. It is known as the Davidson act in Texas and such a storm of criti- cism has been aroused against its en- forcement that an agitation is now go- icg on in Texas to have special ses- sion of the Legislature called for it's repeal. Several of the Texas papers appear to be of the opinion that a spe- cial session will be held for that sole purpose.

Lieutenant Governor Gray
 Opposes Feature Of City Code

It was stated last evening that that section of the municipal code bill which authorizes the segregation of the so- cial evil will not be allowed to be made a part of the law.
 It Is this question that Colonel John. of Jefferson. has already served notice that he will contest. Last evening 1t was announced by Lieutenant Governor Gray. that in the event the House takes no action on this section. he will ask that the bill be reconsidered by the Senate in order that this section may be changed.
 Several of the Senators agree with
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-07-23

the Lieutenant Governor that the Sen ate was too nasty in allowing the bill to go through with this section in 1t, and since its passage in the Senate there has been considerable discussion regarding it.
 Tn the minds of several of the Sen ators there appears to be a sentiment that they may be severely criticized for allowing this to go through and there- House with interest. and with the idea that if this section is not corrected by the lower body they may immedi ately recall the bill and rectify the error.
