Philadelphia, July 5.--Judge Charles swayne. of the United States Court for the Northern District of Florida. died at the University of Virginia Hospital here this afternoon.
 Judge Swayne had been suffering for some time from complicated kidney troubles and was brought here to the residence of Gardner W.

Kim ball. and her husband.
 Funeral arrangements will be an- nounced later.
 Judge Swaynes name became famil- far to the reading public a year or two ago through an attempt to impeach him for high crimes and misdemean- ors." His first trial took place in the United States Senate toward the close of the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress, and was the first impeach- ment proceeding in that body since the trial of Secretary of War Belknap un- der the administration of General Grant.
 The trial lasted five or six weeks. Swayne was represented by a number of lawyers and many witnesses were called both for and against him. The specific charges were that he did not reside in his district. that he made ex- cessive charges against the Govern ment for expenses that he used his position to extort favors from rail- road companies and that he sat In a case In Florida In which his wife was personally interested. The trial result ed in his acquittal by vote which was almost strictly along party lines. The original charges against Judge Swayne were made by Representative Lamar of Florida.

GRANTS INJUNCTION
GEORGIA RAILROAD WINS IMPOR-
 TANT DECISION.
state of Georgia Is Prevented From Collecting Taxes From the Road
 Under Act of 1902.

Atlanta. Ga. July 5-Judge Newman in the United States Circuit Court late today granted a perpetual injunction restraining the State of Georgia from collecting taxes on the franchise of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Com pany. The effect of the order Is to exempt from the taxing power of the state over S4.0OO.00O, which. it is ad- mitted. exceeds the nominal value oi the capital stock of the road.
 The courts decision Is based on the original charter granted the road by the legislature in 1883. which provided a tax of one half of one per cent per annum on the net earnings. Judge Newman holds that the original char ter covers all property. appurtenances rolling stock and franchises of the road. without reference to the valua- tion of its property.
 The case grew out of the attempt of Comptoller General Wright to col lect taxes from the road under the franchise act of 1902.
