RATE LAWS INVALID.
All Rates Acts Suspended Until
Justice is Determined.

Montgomery, Ala, March 28.-
In sweeping decision making
permanent the preliminary injunc-
ton decided last August, Judge
Thomas G. Jones, of the Federal
Court of Alabama, middle district,
declared that acts which sought to
prevent the railroads of the State
from going into the Federal court
were unconstitutional and that the
railroad acts of the Alabama
Legislature should be suspended
pending an investigation of the
complaints of the railroads that the
acts were confscatory.
Judge Jones declares in the
opinion that the issue of States
rights is not involved in the issue
in the Federal Court. The opinion
says:
LIFE INTOLERABLE
'sLife would be intolerable in
any government claiming to be at
all free wherein the citizen had no
redress against wrongs done by
officials in the name of the State.
"The constitution itself, it is
held, gives the Federal Court the
right to pass upon such questions,
and the real objection to its exer-
else is, therefore, an objection to
the principles Of the union" +"
The effect of the decision is to
delare unconstitutional q great
many of the parts of railroad code
adopted by the Alabama Legisla-
ture and to suspend all rate acts
antil the justice of the rates can be
determined.
The opinion had been published
and was in the hands of the prin-
ter fol. delivery when the United
States Supreme Court rendered its
opinion in the Minnesota cases,
which were similar to those in
which the State of Alabama was
party. In all essential details the
opinion was similar to that rem
dered by Justice Parham.

The Van Ness place was purchased in
1874? by Mr. Thomas Greene, who was
southern sympathizer during the civil war
and was imprisoned In the old Capitol
for forty-six days because he was sus-
pected Of a plot to kidnap President Lin
coin and secrete him In the cellar Of his
residence until he could be taken across

had a checkered experience until it was
torn down to make way for the founda-
tions of the new building.
