The final session of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the cases in- volving rates from New Orleans to Mobile. Pensacola, Montgomery and Selma, came to a close yesterday after noon at l o'clock when all testimony of both sides was completed. The little handful of men who were left in Montgomery to see the finish of the four days investigation conducted by Commissioners Judson Q. Clements and Edgar E. Clark. gathered together and quietly left the Federal Court room.
 All was good nature during the long sitting of the Commission.

 As soon as this case was disposed of. the Commissioners ordered John A.

 The widespread interest aroused by the announcement that the New York Symphony Orchestra. under the distin- guished leadership of Mir. Walter Dam rosch. Is to be heard here at The Grand Wednesday night, Is by no means surprising. for no orchestral organization in the country enjoys a greater reputation than that which To- cal music-lovers are soon to be given on opportunitv to hear. Few cities In this part of the country will be in- eluded in the present tour, which Is under the direction of Louden Chari- ton. and Montgomery Is therefore espe- eially fortunate to be thus favored. , A program of unusual excellence one that win appear to all classes of concert Roers---is promised for tho appearance. and 1t will show the fa- nous orchestra at It's very best.
