Nine.GOre6 Skirt.

the very fact Of its simplicity makes
it possible to use trimming of many
sorts. Here is a very satisfactory
model that, as illustrated, is made OF
dotted linen with trimming of linen
braid and which is entirely satisfac'
tory. 1t could. however, be utilized
for every possible skirting material
while the trimming can be varied In
an indefinite number Of ways.
Straight bands of heavy lace inset are
much used on washable fabrics, while
for the pongees, silks, voile and the

ALABAMA WINNER
IN RAILWAY FIGHT
Southern Road Accepts the Two
New Rate Laws.
ITS STATE LICENSE IS RESTORED
Agrees to Put New Passenger and
Freight Rates Into Effect-WiM
Not Seek Federal Courts
Sweeping Victory of State.

Montgomery, Ala.-The Southern
Railway has surrendered to the State
of Alabama. This probably marks
the end of all attempts by this rail-
way corporation to use the Federal
Courts in defeating rate legislation
in the Southern States.
The threat by Governor Conner to
arrest every Southern employe in the
State and send all to jail should the
corporation operate without a license
had much to do with the settlement.
The Governor was also about to call
a special session of the Legislature
for the passage of drastic laws. This,
with the disincllnation Of any Fed
eral Judge to step In and enjoin the
State, made the surrender Of the
railroad certain.
Beginning on the first of next
month the Southern road and all its
allied lines will put into effect the
two and one-half cent passenger rate
and will reduce the freight rates on
10 commodities. In recognition Of
this the Governor has restored the IL
cense of the railway to operate in
Alabama.
The corporation further agrees
that it will recognize the State courts
and not take any suits into the Fed
eral courts until they have been
passed upon by the Judiciary Of Ala
bama. 1t was because the railroad
took a Ease from the State to the
Federal Court that its license was
revoked. The settlement means that
the corporation will not attempt to
use Federal Judges In any technical
fight against State laws.
The rate legislation, both as to pas
sengers and freight, Is accepted for
the time. The agreement declares
that their operation of the laws Is
subject to judicial determination as
to their constitutionality and reason
/ ableness. Meanwhile, the other laws
enacted by the Legislature last win
ter affecting railroads will remain
under the injunction granted by
Judge Thomas, G. Jones of the Fed
eral@ Court. =
The railroads agree that they will
ask Judge Jones 10 moully lne re-
| straining orders issued two months
| ago so as to permit of the immediate
I operation of the two passenger and
| freight acts in question. The COM
promise affects only the Southern
Railroad. The other systems OF the
| State were not parties to the confer.
ence, but it is conceded that they will
follow the Southern road.
Governor Conner says that all fric-
| ton is now at an end. The railway
company, he says, has recognized the
sovereignty of Alabama. He added:
THE State stands always ready to
protect the railroads, and also l con
| slider it my duty to protect the peo-
pie. The State is willing to meet the
railroads with a view to adjustment
on terms Of equity. This the people
of Alabama want, and this they are
entitled to and shall have"

WRIT OF ERROR FOR TRUST.
1t is Allowed by Judge Grosscup-
Supersedeas Held Up.

Chicago.-The attorneys for the
Standard Oil Company filed the COM
pany's assignment of errors in, the
United States District Court in the re-
bate conviction case. They then went
before Judge Grosscup IN the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals and
made application for an appeal, a
writ of error, and supersedeas.
The trusts attorneys contend that
the supersedeas should be granted
upon a bond no larger than sufficient
to cover the costs. It was claimed
by the Government, however, that the
bond should be fixed at $~29,240,000,
the amount Of. the fine imposed by
Judge Lands, in order to secure the
Government pending a stay Of exc
cution onrthe. judgment. The assign
ment Of error contained 116 citations
in which Judge Lands Is said to have
erred in his decisions during the trial.
Judge Grosscup allowed the writ
Of error. Supersedeas was held up.

against the Standard Oil. Company,
the Vacuum Oil Company, the.New
York Central and the Pennsylvania
railroads, of giving and receiving spe-;
cial and Illegal concessions on ship
ments OF oil from Olean, N. Y, to

work.
The indictments in substance
charge that while the legal rate from
Olean to Norwood was twenty-six
and a half cents a hundred weight on
228 cars Of oil, the oil companies
paid only 11.8 cents, giving them
the benefit of about fifteen cents a
hundred weight over: other concerns.
!. The report sexonerated the Rutland
Railroad and the Vermont Central
from participating in the alleged lille
gal practice, the evidence showing
they received the legal rate for their
part in carrying the shipments
The law provides a penalty Of $780,

ton. A conviction on each count
would render the Standard and Vac
