nv THE COURTS 10 YEARS.
Referee I'm tho Rcich-CschrAn Litigation
Finds for Mrs. Reich.

Finds for Mrs. Reich.
Another step in the Reich Cochran litiga-
ton begun in 1899 was taken yesterday
when William @. Davies, az referee, re-
ported to the Supreme Court that in his
opinion Mrs. Elizabeth Riech is entitled
to a Judgment for $500, with interest
from March II, 1893, against the estate
OF William +. Cochran, who owned the
Hotel Cambridge at Fifth avenue and
Thirty-third street. This 10 In addition
to a judgment for $3.50 that Mrs. Reich
got against the estate on July rs last.
The t5,sea judgment, with interest, will
amount to sll ,l1e. and as an appeal will
certainly be taken the interest will keep
or growing.
The action In which Referee Davies nov
recommends a judgment in Mrs. Reich's
favor was begun on July 8, 1893. II hung
fire for a long while before Charles H.,
now Justice, Truax, as referee, and later
occupied the attention OF Wilbur Mcbride.
as referee, from 1899 to 1908. The record
taken before Mr.. Mcbride covered 1924
typewriter pages, and to-day there are
several thousand pages OF testimony be-
fore tho court. MIR. Davies was appointed
referee in June. 1905, and has been taking
testimony pretty regularly ever since.
The litigation involves the furnishings
Of THO Hotel Cambridge, which Lorenz
Reich leased In February, 1883, from William
F. Cochran. Reich was evicted for o n
payment Of rent o. March IT. 1893, and
Cochran took possession OF all the con-
tents OF the hotel. including the wines,
liquors, cigars, groceries. 90. Reich claimed
the contents as his. but Cochran kept and
sold them. Then Reich assigned his rights
to his wife, who brought the present suit,
demanding the value OF the furnishings.
In February, 1899, Mrs. Reich also brought
another suit against Cochran for the value
Of the groceries, wines, DC, left 10 the
hotel by her husband. She alleged that
goods to his wi use, and she got . verdict
for their value, about $500. This verdict
and Judgment va set aside by the Su-
preme Court, but the Appellate Division
reversed that ruling and reinstated the
judgment, which stood at $3.50 when
Il was entered last July.
William F. Cochran died on December ~,
1901, and since then his executors, Eva s.,
Alexander s. and William r. Cochran, Jr.,
have been the defendants In the litigation.
Referee Davies says in bis report, which
includes i7s findings of fact, that he cannot
accept the plea Of the executors that the
Judgment obtained by Mrs. Reich in the
action for the value Of the wines and grocer
les was o bar 70 the action for the value
cf the furniture, as he is Of the opinion
that the conversion OF the liquors and food
was a distinct and separate act. There is
no question, he says, that the estate Of Mr..
Cochran is liable FOR the value OF all that
Reich left 10 the hotel when he was forcibly
evicted.
Judging from the persistent appeals
taken heretofore in all the proceedings,
IL is unlikely that q final Judgment will
be entered on MIR. Davies's report before
1910, il then.

CONVENTION OF HAMMERHEADs.
story From the steamer Finance Guar.
anteed by reetOtal skipper.

~ StN@ttNN tb8thtg D1sh-
anteed by TeetOtal skipper.
The Panama steamer Finance, which
arrived yesterday from Colon. brought in
among other things a tale Of hammerhead
sharks. The story was related by Capt.
Norman W. Mowbray who has sailed the
seas well on to thirty years without once
splicing the mainbrace. The captain
spake as follows:
Al noon Wednesday. when we were about
$50 miles south Of Scotland Light, In longi-
tude "a and latitude 80. about, my attention
was called to an immense number Of ham
merheads disporting themselves in pairs
around the ship n all bound north. In
ten n l counted lOs. The sea was
singularly smooth and CLASSY and was Of
an oily appearance.
The passengers got very much excited
and wanted me TO let them shoot at the
sharks. Irefused. not from sympathy with
the hammerheads, but because / was afraid
tina somebody might get a bullet meant for
a shark. IL isn't always wise. you know
TO allow l~andlubbers the Use OF firearms
aboard ship.
Il have never studied the habits of sharks.
hut il appeared to me that they were love
making. or perhaps holding a convention
OF some sort. Occasionally there would be
a great row among them. pairs would break
up. the greasy water would fairly boil and
then there would be a reimbursement OF males
and females. or 80 IL appeared to me.
w kept seeing hammerheads until
$50 o'clock in the afternoon. Wherever
we looked there was a big triangular dorsal
nm cutting the water. or we got q glimpse
Of a yellowish white belly and some very
over TO snap at each other. Altogether we
must have sighted more than 200 Of them
II am sorry concluded Capt. Mowbray,
that l can do no better for you to-day, but
| beg OF you 20 assure your editor that this
aneodote 10 absolutely trustworthy and may
be printed without fear OF contradiction.
Never, " he said emphatically. never would

THE RICH ARE GROWING POORER.
Says John VI. Bow ers, Tired OF Being an
Ossood Estate Trustee.

s"'e'N
John NJ. Bowers has applied to the Su-
preme Court for leave to resign as trustee
under the will Of William II. Osgood, who
died Of December ~. 1895. on the ground
that he cannot get along with the other
trustees. Marie Emelie 0sgood and William

tice Platzek signed an order yesterday
directing that the accounts Of the trustees
be referred 20 Edward Browne, who will
report to III court. II they are found salts
factory Mr.. Bowers's application will prob
ably be granted.
Mr.. Bowers shows that there are serious
differences between himself and the two
other trustees concerning the way the estate
should be administered for the benefit Of
Miss 0sgood. who has a life interest and her
brother, TO whom il reverts at her death.
The estate consists mainly now Of about
ti3, 900 in personal property and a fine place
For the last three years IL has been impos-
sible to let il.
Mr.. Bowers is Of the opinion that the
Newport property should be sold before il
depreciates further in value. He says that
the demand for fine houses to rent at New
port has fallen on steadily in the last two or
three Years and that the number Of fashion,
able people Of large means 10 not nearly as
large az IL used TO be.
There being no income from this source.
the capital OF the trust in the form of per-
sonalty has suffered. so that from about
s43 500 in 1902 the personally has been re-
duced to about t1S, 900. Mr.. Bowers believes
that the estate will suffer considerably I'M
less the Newport property is sold soon, but
Miss Osgood and her brother are unalter-
ably opposed to any such sale, he says, and
in consequence the relations between the
trustees have become unsatisfactory and
unpleasant. He il in favor of investing the

FAST FREIGHT FOR
 COTTON PRODUCTS Movement Made to Expedite
 Southern Shipments ALL CARS MUST BE RUSHED Railroads Are Uniting In Efforts to Have Prompt Delivery of Goods
 From the Manufacturers
 '. of the South.

Washington, August 7.-In report made to the bureau of manufacturers of the department of commerce and labor, Special Agent Williamm Whittam, Jr., notes an important improvement in ex- pediting the shipment from the south of cotton goods intended for the Orient. Calling attention to the fact that in the past there has been much uncertainty in the delivery of such goods, owing to delays on the railroads, he says:
 This has all been changed, following the individual activity of the western railroads in attempts to secure as large a proportion as possible of this important business. The New York buyers of cloth for China specifies the route 1t shall take. therefore each western freight agent in that city impresses upon his transporta- tion department the importance of not only expediting conslgnments of cotton products, but In so far as possible an ef- fort is made to send them through on a regular schedule.
 At least ono southern railway has adopted the plan of marking each car containing cotton cloths or yarns with a placard reading:
 Cotton factory products
 Ut instructs it's employees to rush for ward cars so designated with all possi- ble dispatch The factory representatives working with the local freight agents traces such cars assiduously, and the western roads realizing that quick and regular delivery is the principal advan- tage they can offer, rates being equalzed by all regular routes, are striving stren- uously for speed and regularity.
 These combined influences have re- suited in making 1t possible to get cot ton goods from the miil to Pacific ports within a given time, and gives the ship per reasonable assurance that the con- signment will connect with steamship sailing on a regular schedule for China and Japan"

ton in the house, by which he wanted the legislature to put itself squarely be- hind Governor Conner in the fight against railroads, drew out some rather sensa- tional features.
 The resolution was as follows:
 Be it resolved by the house of repre- sentatives, the senate concurring, that 1t Is the sense Of the legislature of Alabama, when an intelligent electorate of sov- ereign state by an overwhelming vote at the ballot box. the correctness of which has never been challenged, placed the entire people of the state of Alabama on record as pledging themselves and their representatives in both the legislative and executive departments to reforms which would secure equal rights to all. the posi- tion of such electorate should be made a matter of permanent record
 That this legislature has diligently and industrially endeavored to enact laws con forming to the policies outlined in the democratic platform to correct abuses in this state which had become so apparent and obnoxious that the whole state arose against them Among the laws enacted are many to protect the lives of our citi- zens and punish the criminal who dlsobeys or violates such laws. Otherwise to pro- tect the property rights of the citizens and still others to regulate public serv- ice corporations in the state. All of these laws have ben enacted by the solemn authority of the people of Alabama and should be obeyed, To secure obeyance Is not within the province of the legislature of Alabama, but this great responsibility rests upon the executive officer of the state
 Absolute disregard of law is the teach Ing of anarchy, and precludes the exis- tence of society In a civilized state. When a great corporation wilfully and knowing ly violates the law for the purpose Of showing its contempt for the statutes of a sovereign state, or for the purpose of placing poor plaintiff to the disadvantage of different procedure, 1t amounts to the same wilful violation of law for which the criminal often forfeits his life. In one case you have to deal with a human being; in the other a great corporation. No one can deny the responsibility rest ing upon the executive of a state in such case, and to him alone can the people look for the enforcement of laws
 Tt Is, therefore further resolved, that the legislature of Alabama in this man. ner approves and applauds the courageous determination of the Hon. BraXton Bragg Conner to carry into, effect the enact ments of this legislature and we now peldge him our hearty support and CO., operation in all matters effecting these great issues, to the end that the will of the people and not of the corporation, shall govern. Should he find himself en- compassed with difficulties necessitatlnS further legislation, the legislature pledges itself to carefully do al ltha. iS necessary to carry out the platform of tine dem OCratic party"

SPECIAL SERVICE
 MUST BE PROMPT
INTERSTATE COMMERCE CoMMlS- SION MAKES RULING THAT ALL ROADS MUST GIVE SERVICE ACCORDING TO RATE.

Washington. August 7.-1n a decision by the interstate commerce commission an nounced today, it was held that where carriers exacted from shippers a higher rates than ordinarily charged, in consid- eration of an expedited service, the high CT rate could not be charged unless the service contemplated actually was rem dered.
 The opinion was written by Commits sioner Clark, and was in the case of the American Fruit Union of Cincinnati G., against the Cincinnati New Orleans and Texas Pacific railroad. After hold ing that the carrier is not entitled to exact the higher rate unless the special service Is rendered, Commissioner Clark says:
 his principle is recognized in con tracts between the federal government and the railroads for fast mail service, and by the railways in connection with their excess fare limited passenger trains, etc In both instances carriers forfeit part of the compensation if they fail to make the time agreed upon." In this case defendants rate on straw berries in carloads under refrigeration from Chattanooga, Tenn, and Oal1dale, Tenn, to Cincinnati, was found unrea- sonable, and the rate of 2 cents per crate was ordered to be reduced to 22 cents per crate. Preparation was also awarded to shippers injured by the fail ure of the defendant to supply the spe- cial service.
