timony was introduced tending to con-
meet the officer directly with the AFFAIR.

more concerned about keeping the

A severe blow 70 Timothy Z. Tars-

the decision Of Judge Harry Lock
wood. OF Monroe, In the case OF Marcel
f. Hude against Mr. Tarsney, which
was handed down Tuesday afternoon.
Under the decision Mr.. Tarsney Is
required to resign as trustee OF the
estate of Mrs. Melinda Hude-Vier. and
is ordered to turn over to the Secur'
ity Trust Co. s37.2s6, with interest on
$13, 900 from August, 1908, and an en-
dowment policy paying $3.50 per year.
The terms OF the decision were at
once accepted by both parties and Mr..
Tarsney rendered his resignation and
handed over the money. In doing this
he was not obliged to call upon his
| $4,000 bond.
The case arose from dispute over
the disposition OF the estate Of Mrs.
Hude-Vier, OF which Tarsney was trus-
tee. He was charged with investing
the property of the estate In an cleo
| trio railway which he was promoting,
and 1t was claimed that the enterprise
was not such as he could properly
finance with trust funds. More than
$27 900 Of the estate money was In
vested in the road. when quarrel

ROAD TO ENFORCE
OLD FREIGHT LAW

An old law of 1877 regarding freight
charges, which has always been disre'
garded, has just been affirmed by the
supreme court. This law provides a
maximum freight rate or hauls of car
load lots for 80 miles or less. The
Pere Marquette railroad has already
given notice that II will begin soon
to operate In accordance with this
law.
While a few shippers will save
money on the enforcement of the law
these being the shippers of fragile or
perishable commodities which com
mand a high freight rate, the effect
will be disastrous on many manufac
turing industries. According to this
old law, railroads may not charge
more than 50 per carload for the firsl
10 miles. so cents per mile additional
for the next 10 miles and 25 cents pei
mile for the third 10 miles.
