A few moments before his departure

Finley Haggard;
Worn by Strain
OF Great Fight

ASHEVILLE, n. c., July 27.-The
most sensational event of the day in
the railroad rate war was the arrest
of President Finley, of the Southern
railway, on n warrant issued by Po-
lice Judge Reynolds and the subse-
quent interposition of Judge Pritch-
ard, of the United States circuit
court to set Mr.. Finley free.
The charge against President Fin
ley was ''the aiding, directing, the
abetting and authorizing the sale of
tickets for more than PA cents per
mile"
Warrants against President Finley
and Ticket Seller Wilson were
sworn out upon violation o f the
common law of North Carolina,
which is a different course from that
heretofore pursued.
Strain Tells on Finley.
The strain has been telling on Presi-
dent Finley. He is haggard and worm
out. After leaving court today he has
been in his room for the greater part
OF the day.
Before the officer serving the paper
had executed the demand to take Mr..
Finley to the police court. a United
States deputy marshal served a writ
from Judge Pritchard on the police Of
fcor. and Mr. Finley, the marshal, and
patrolman found their way to the Fed
eral building. instead Of 10 Justice
Reynolds court.
When Mr.. Finley was arraigned be-
fore Judge Pritchard, counsel for the
State undertook TO show that the writ
of habeas corpus mad been procured be-
fore Policeman Williams made the ar
rest, the writ of habeas corpus was
procured before Mr.. Finley left his room
at the hotel.
Policeman Williams went to Mr.. Fin
ley's room at Battery Park Hotel and
read the warrant To him. and waited
with him until the writ was served.
Claims Arrest Only Technical.
II Mr.. Finley was under arrest at all.
State counsel argued, it was purely a
technical arrest, and insisted that it did
not amount to that much.
Judge Pritchard stated that he widely
differed with State counsel. President
Finley was discharged without argu-
mont. upon the grounds stated Dy Judge
Pritchard, upon which he discharged

week.

Pete is now doing duty as the pet

Liuest blooded bull pup that ever

of family pets at the White House.
Pete had Jared well before, but his
transition from an ordinary pedi-
