VICTORY FOR ROADS
DECISION AS TO FREIGHT RATES ON BANANAS
Interstate Commerce Commission Makes A Ruling Against the Fruit Men of the West and
 South

Mobile. June 2s.--(Special. )--The de- cision rendered by the Interstate Com n1ercs Commission on the petition filed by Western banana dealers for re- duction in rates on bananas from Gulf ports to Western markets and also for other concessions is complete victory for the railroads.
 In its decision the Commission ruled that present rates are not unreason- able in view of the competition that exists. The Commission also ruled that the present basis of calculating weights at points of origin instead of destina. tion is not unreasonable.
 The petition of the banana dealers to have freight rates based on rates of destination instead of points of origin was indirectly light on the banana trust in order to force the trust to adopt the same weights.
 At the present time bananas are loaded directly from vessels at New Orleans and Mobile into the cars and weights so secured are what the buy CTS have to pay on, both for freight charges and the cost of the bananas. The dealers claim that the difference In weights between those secured at the Gulf ports and at the destination is unreasonably large and 1t was in- directly to secure readjustment in this respect that the agitation was de- veloped. The dealers declare that there is frequently shrinkage of 1,500 to 1000 pounds on a car of bananas, or that there is that much difference be- tween the weights at Gulf ports and at the destination.
 Some efforts have been made to in. duce the banana trust to change it's system of weights with a view of re. ducing this shrinkage. but nothing has been accomplished in this line and in view of the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission it Is qute like ly that the railroads and the trust will continue to maintain present condi- tions.
 The Commission also overruled the minimum of 1s,o0o pounds per car in- stead of 10000 pounds. The Commits sion ruled that the present minimum Is maintained by the Western roads because of competition from Eastern roads and that inasmuch as practically every car is loaded at the Gulf ports in excess of 10000 pounds that the min mum is itself made little or no differ ence to the trade in general
 Recently Western banana dealers have secured one concession in the ba- mana business. Heretofore, during the fall and winter. season they have had to pay freight rates and In addition the price of bananas on 300 to 500 pounds of lumber and hay in each car used for packing purposes. During the summer time no hay IS used. but there are about fifty pounds of lumber in each car.
 As a result of an appeal made to the trust the weight of the lumber and hay is to be deducted from the weights heretofore charged. which will result in a saving of $6 to $7 a car during the fall and winter seasons and s1 to $2 per car during the summer season. This. in the aggregate will amount to quite a saving to the dealers.

RAILROAD PROJECT
 HAS BEEN ABANDONED


 Columbus. Miss. June 23.-(SpeciaL)- )-- All work on the Aberdeen and Tonlbigbee Valley Railroad has been abandoned, lack of funds with which to purchase right of way being given as a cause therefor.
 It seems that the railroad people expect ed the landowners along the line to donate right of way and when property holders evinced a desire to secure reasonable conn pensation for their grants, work was stop ped. It seems that the only assets of the company were donations voted for depot sites by Columbus. Aberdeen and okolona and the right of way for the road. which the promoters seemingly thought could be had for asking.
 The provisions under which the donations for terminal facilities m the different towns were voted make the cash unavaila- ble until the railroad is built and as right of way cannot be secured without cash the project is abandoned.
 The money that was expended for sur veys and grading was put up by one or two directors and probably one of the contract ors.
 Local directors state that the hitch over right of way and terminal facilities in this city did not cause the cessation of work.

For His Work For the Pythian Temple He
 is Remembered.

For his energetic and successful work in securing for Montgomery the Pythian Tenn pie, B. A. Taylor has been presented with a beautiful gold watch inscribed with the flattering statement that it went to 'eThe Temple Builder"
 The Pythians of Montgomery with prac- tically no other assistance from tho city inaugurated and carried forward a cam peign which succeeded in locating the Tenn pie in Montgomery. In this work MT. TaY- Tor was one of the leaders, He kept at 1t when some of the others became discouraE- ed. Knowing what he had done the Pyth- fans of the city determined that he should have some indication of their appreciation
 The ceremony of presentation took place at a meeting of Central Lodge Monday night A large crowd had gathered for the occasion. Leon Mccord made the pre- sentation speech and he did 1t ably and eloquently. He recounted the work Mir. Taylor had done as Chairman of the Mont gomery Pythian Committee and he voiced the appreciation of the Pythians for that work.
 MT. Taylor responded in an effective speech. in which he did what he could to voice his gratitude He spoke fselinglY of the evidence of their esteem his fellow Pythians had given him and he spoke of the pride with which he would wear theIF evidence of esteem
 The most striking feature about the hand some piece of jewelry Is the splendid en- craving of the Pythian coat of arms. with Mir. Taylors Initials in Roman letters. On
