TESTIMONY HEARD
 IN RAILROAD CASE
LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE OF FlCIAL TESTIFIES THAT EN- FORCEMENT OF LAW WOULD RUIN SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

New York, August 16-Testimony that may aid in settling the controversy be- tween the state courts of North Carolina and the Southern railway over the consti- nationality of the North Carolina 2A-csnt rate law was heard today by former Judge Montgomery. appointed by, Judge Pritchard of the federal court in North Carolina to take dispositions in the case.
 George D. Evans, fourth vice president of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, was a witness today, called by General Counsel Thom of the Southern railway. MT. Evans testified that the enforcement of the 2A-cent rate on a road constructed so peculiarly as the Southern railway in North Carolina, would practically force the railroad to discontinue operation. The witness further stated that it costs more flor the handling of local traffic than for through traffic.
 MT. Evans answer was objected to by James Shepherd former chief justice of the state of North Carolina, who ap- peared at the hearing In the interest of Governor Glenn and the state authori- ties. The master permitted the answer to stand.
 At the hearing E. J. Justice, speaker of the North Carolina house of repre- sentatives, read a statement which made it plain that the state authorities had no intention by appearing through counsel in the present proceedings, to acknowl- edge the right of the federal court to grant the injunction.
 MT Thom ccntended that the appear ance of MT. Justice and MT. Aycock at the instance of Governor Glenn made the state a party to the suit and was prac- ticaly a waiver of the states right not i, to be sued.
 Mr Justice denied that any such right had been waived. The attorney general had been sued and it was the duty of the governor to see that he was repre- scented by counsel.
