that there was an ordinance. ante dating the ordinance in question, which it seems to ordinary apprehen- sion would have been efficient, If en- forced.
 However that may be. while con ceding and assenting the paramount importance of providing for such sep aration, and not doubting that the City Council may go further than II has gone prior to the passage of the ordinance requiring separate cars, l, seems reasonable to me to say that under the conditions prevailing with the defendant company and in the city of Montgomery, the ordinance of Oc- tober 15, 1906, will work unreasonable hardship and unnecessary inconven- fence and ought not to be enforced al this time"
 The Register will serve the follow ing decree:

Judge Sayre Rules for Traction Company
AGAINST JIM CROW ORDINANCE
Other Methods of Settling the
 Question.
Holds In Declining To Dissolve In- function That Law Passed Last October Fly City Fathers
 Is Unreasonable.

Judge A. D. Sayre, of the City Court, yesterday issued a decree in equity in the case of the Montgomery Traction Company against the City Council or Montgomery declining to compel the installation of jim crow street cars. The decree overrules the motion 10 dissolve the injunction against the City Council and to dismiss the case for want of equity. ..
 The case grew out of an ordinance passed by the City Council October l6, 1906, the requirements of which were that separate conveyances should De established for the races. This meant that the Traction Company would have to provide separate cars for white peo- pie and blacks.
 The Traction company was granted an injunct tion on November 23. restran- ing the City Council from enforcing this ordinance. The cause was suo- mitted on a motion on the part Of the city to dissolve the injunction, and Judge Sayre rendered a decision in the case yesterday.
 Unless the case is carried to high CT court. this decree means that single cars will continue to be occupied py both whites and blacks. seats being separated as they are now and that separate cars will not be operated.
 Commenting upon the decision yes- terday an officer of the Traction Com pany said it would work great hard- ship upon the company were separate cars to be established, and 1t would not be so satisfactory to the public as the present system. The official added that the people were not in favor Of such system, as 1t would not make for better service and would be alto- gether impracticable.
 The decree and opinion handed down by Judge Sayre follows:
 Montgomery Traction Company Vs. City Council of Montgomery, ct als.
 ''The Legislature having refrained from directing in what manner the general power of the City Counci shall be exercised in providing for the separation of the races in public con- veyances, the reasonableness of any determined by the court upon consid eration of every element of the situa ton.
 l"Accepting the allegations of th complainant as true, ~as 1 must fol this occasion, it is Evident that ar enforcement of the ordinance of Octo Der IS, 1906, requiring cars to be en tirely separate, must either entai great hardship upon the defendan company or cause great inconvenience to the pnblic-probab1y both result would follow.
 "Consulting the general fund of in formation concerning such things, i by no means appears that other los harmful controversies would not brine about the desired conditions in workable and efficient way. In fact it appears from the bill In this cause

terests Itself in Complaints That
 Railroads Are Being Defraud-
 ed by Wrong Figures
 by shipper.
 So many complaints have been made regarding underweighing and under billing that sweeping investigation will be made in all parts of the country, Alabama. as well as others states, will be interested in watching results.
 In connection with this movement to watch the billing of freight the fol- lowing from The Washington Post Is of particular interest to Alabama ship pers:
 "The interstate commerce commls- sion has started a sweeping investi- gation into charges that hundreds Of shippers throughout the United States, engaged in various lines of business have been guilty of underbilling and underweighing commodities fin viola ton of the provisions of the new rail- road rate act.
 AS a result an order has been made that in the future all railroads snail keen a record of violations of the law in this respect that shall be accessi- ble at all times to agents of the commission. It will thus be brough, home to shippers that the raiiroad rate act regulates their operations as much as 1t does those of the raii- roads. ,.
 "Underbilling or underwei2hing snip ments offered in interstate commerce Is punishable by fine and imprisoh, ment or both. In the case or the lwo oil companies doing business m North Carolina, strong evidence Was obtained that railroad companies were being defrauded of comparatively la,se sums by the underweighing or snlp ments. The evidence collected Tn tnis connection has been forwarded to the department of justice and proceeoins are about to be instituted against the two concerns involved. "Complaints is made that the eVh V, u uuderbillinc and underweighing h steadily growing. It Is said that .he railroads are timid about reporths such violation of law to the coHmis sion on account of the trouple ana III convenience that such a step causes causes . The railroads, as a rule. merely airec' inc attention of an offending snippe, to an instance of underweight anu | collect the damages. ,.,
