Affidavits Of Two Sides
Differ Widely.
FAMOUS CASES WILL
GO TO THE JUDGE TODAY
Mr. Selheimer Delivered Principal
Argument Yesterday.
--s--
cA.rxea That Railroaas Made II a
Habit to Charge An improvements
Against Operatives Expenses.
Answered by Major steiner
aaa Mr.. Cunningham.

The Federal Court and all the attor-
ueys railroad and State. were over
whelmed yesterday with mass of fig
uras, when the court went into the fur
ther consideration of the affidayits fled
ID the famous Alabama rate cases.
In all the controversy about the fig-
urea, In the conflicts, in the charge that
queer book keeping had been done on
the one hand and that the figures had
haen nisrepresented on the other. the
zasus was clearly drawn. The roads
stood on their contention that under
the old rates and under the favorable
commercial conditions which existed
before the enactment of the new rate
legislation they never received any
thing like an adequate return on their
money invested in Alabama and that
Il they were compelled to haul freight
and passengers at the price fixed by
the Alabama Railroad Commission
def3cit on all the contesting lines was
Inevitable.
The State. through its attorneys. con-
tended that the returns made by the
railroads and on which they based
their claims OF conflscatfon, was mis-
leading. because the roads were charR-
ing improvements and betterments to
the account for operating expenses. Be-
tween the two contentious there was a
pretty fight. The railroad attorneys
when court adjourned yesterday after
noon after dark. were protesting that
their clients had been misrepresented
and that CARRIED figures had Been Civ
au, perhaps unintentionally.
One OF the chief arguments of the
enkire case was delivered yesterday by
ESsnry Geiheimer. Mr.. Selheimer is
the states expert on figures and COM
wnEisonG. He was reserved to argue
and eIucidate the technical side of the
case He was presented by his asso-
csate counsel as the student lawyer
who had stepped himself in figurea and
STANDARDIZATION, which although they
might be dry, were still of vital EiA-
portance in the adjudication OF the is
cues. Mr.. Selheimer's address occu-
paed four-fifths of yesterdays proceed

nz the technical issue with great force
ana with wide store of Information
from which TO draw the points Of HIS
ksK1menk.

SCRIPT PASSES. HARD TIMES
MONEY THING OF The PAST
Nearly all Of 1t Has Been Brought to
the Banks.


The script which was in such general
circulation for two months during 1907
is now almost thing Of the past
The banks have been retiring 1t as fast
as It came through the regular chan
nels, and also when presented at the
windows OF the various banking insti-
buttons OF the city, with the result that
there Is little If any of the hard times
money now In circulation.
1t has been said that Montgomery
script is being sent back to the city
from as far distant points as New York
and Chicago, but whether this rumor
is true could not be determined. A
bank official said last evening that
perhaps there had been little Of the
script returned from one or two of the
larger cities where 1t had been sent
rather as a sample, than as currency.
No Montgomerian should, therefore,
be surprised to hear 1t rumOred on the
street within the next few days that
the Clearing House Committee has been
called together for their last meeting
and that all of the Issued script Will
be burned.
