CENTRAL LOSES AN ODD SUIT.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 26-lSpe-
c1al. 1.-The state supreme court came
in this morning with a number of i'm
portant decisions.
1t dismissed the appeal of the Wis
consin Telephone company in an action
against the state and thus ended spIr-
tied fight About a year ago an acton
was brought by the state, through the
attorney general, to collect forfeiture
of 500 for a violation OF law passed
at the 1905 session of the Legislature,
prohibiting discrimination in charges TOR

No sooner had the case been started
than the independent telephone interests
in the state retained Attorney j. ".
Flanders of Milwaukee and L. q. Grant
of GAINESVILLE as counsel to assist the at
torney general.
Entrance of Independents.
The Bell interests protested claiming
that no outside interests could be assO-
ciated with the state in such an action
The matter came before the supreme
court in an appeal from an Ofder mdue
by the circuit court for Dane county last
December, denying the petition OF the
Bell company to exclude counsel prl-
vately employed to assist the attorney
general.
AS the supreme court dismissed the
appeal the finding of the lower court
stands.
Wisconsin Central Road Loses.
The constitutionality of the old law
limiting the speed of trains to six miles
an hour in cities and villages was deter
mined by the court. In April, 1908,
William +. Crane. an editor of Wey-
auwega, alleged that the passenger
trains on the Wisconsin Central road
running through that village were ex-
ceeding the speed limit. For several
days he and several other citizens held
stop watches on the trains and later tes-
titled that the highest speed was forty
five miles an hour and the lowest seven
teen miles an hour. The maximum pen
atty for violation of the law is $500 and
the minimum $50 for each offense. The
suit was brought to recover for twelve
penalties. The lower court held against
the railroad company, which appealed,
primarily on the ground that the law
was unconstitutional. Since this action
was started the Legislature has repealed
the law, and now the company claimed
that this is additional evidence that the
law is invalid. The court, however, at
firmed the lower court decision.
