Alliance, which he commanded. and
the British ships Atlanta and Trepassy.
At the beginning of the battle the
Alliance lay in dead calm and could
not bring her broadside to bear. The
two British ships poured CALLING fire
into her, and early in the engagement
Captain Barry was carried below
wounded in the shoulder by a grape
shot. The flag Of the Alliance was
shot away. and the crew Of the enemy
began cheering at the prospect Of a
certain victory.

News of the Railroads
Local and General.

which went into effect few days ago,
is now the bone of contention be.
tween the railroads of Indiana ani the
State Railroad commission. The com
mission is trying to require the rail
roads to place the regulation full
train crew, numbering five men. on all
freight trains running in Indiana but
the railroads state, that they will not
under any circumstances adhere To
the law when their trains do an inter-
state business, as the state commits
sion then has no power TO rule. AS
many of the trains running in Indiana
are interstate trains the contention OF
the railroad commission seems to
amount to nought.
The Pennsylvania railroad carries
full crews on its freight trains ut all
times and the actions OF the commits
sion will not in any way affect that
system. The only local road that
would be affected by the ruling would
be the C. c. & L., the majority Of
whose trains are run in Indiana. The
c. C. & L will abide by the law how
ever, SO long as it affects only state
trains, but the road probably will not
pay any attention to the law for their
trains doing an interstate business.

ARGUMENT HEARD
ON VALIDITY OF
TWO CENT LAW
CONTINUED from page II

portance 10 the railroads of the coun-
try and to the travelling public as to
whether individual states have the
right 10 enact such laws as the States
have been putting on their statute
books ever since Ohio started a year
ago TO declare what shall be the maxi
mum rate charged by carriers for
transporting passengers on their
trains.
In his argument for the temporary
injunction, Attorney Blakly set forth
that Anna NJ. Boyle is holder of forty
bonds of the Louisville. New Albany
* Corydon railroad, which extends
from Kings Cave to Corydon Junction.
q distance of twelve miles. but which
is operated only between Corydon and
Corydon Junction, distance of eight
miles. where it connects with the Lou
isville division of the Southern rail-
road. running from st. Louis to Lex
ington KY. where it connects with
the Queen & Crescent road. He stated
that the Corydon road was in such fl
nancial condition that the interest Oh
the bonds for two years remains un-
paid After nineteen years of opera
tion. the road. il was declared. has a
surplus of only SJ.95575, while out
standing claims against ii aggregate
$4,000: this. too. in spite of the fact
that the rate of fare charged its pas
sengers was 1 10 cents a mile, the fare
one way from Corydon to Corydon
Junction being 81 cents.
Alleges is Confscatory.
In conclusion the attorney for the
plaintiff declared that the 2-cent law
as passed by the legislature is confis
catory. inaSmuch as it would require
the owners of the road to abandon it.
He pointed out that the confiscatory
aspect of the act rendered it unconsti-
tutional: therefore. he prayed for a |
temporary Injunction.
Shrewd attorneys see in the filing of
the suit clever play on the part OF
the carriers traversing Indiana. They
say that it can be clearly shown that
the new law would work a hardship
upon the Louisville. New Albany X
Corydon road This ''dinky line /
was selected. it is thought. 10 bring
the suit inasmuch as it was hard hit
by the provisions of the act; and yet if
il can be shown that the law is con- t
fiscatory in this particular case. the
Supreme court would probably declare |
the act unconstitutional and therefore
annul its provisions.
That such move as the one now
being made. was contemplated long
ago. is apparent as the railroads made
no effort to defeat the 2-cent bill while |
it, was pending i'll the general assem-
bly,. There seems 10 be no doubt that
the railroads decided among them
selves to- let the law be enacted with
out fight and then to attempt TO have
it declared unconstitutional as soon as |
il should go into effect.
