GOAL GAR Case
/ IS Up IN COURT
Three Federal Judges Will Hear
the Case in Baltimore
Tomorrow.
ORNATE CAR QUESTION
And Other Features Are to Be
Passed On and Fully
Settled.
PRIVATE" CAR QUESTION:

+ d 81
BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 21-The
Interstate Commerce Commission
filed Its answer in the United States
Circuit Court in Baltimore Satur-.
day to the application made by the
preliminary Injunction restraining
the commission from enforcing an
order regarding the distribution Of
coal cars. The point on which the
case hangs Is the same as that in the
now famous Pitcairn Coal Company
case. which was decided the other day
by the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals against the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad.
The present case has been set for a
hearing tomorrow, and Judges Nor
ris, Con- and Pritchard will sit in the
court to hear 1t at the special request
OF Attorney General Charles j. Bon
aparte.
In the Pitcairn case Judge Morris
decided that the railroad must in
clude private" cars in distributing
its cas- to independent operators,
but he did not think that so-called
foreign railway fuel cars" should
be SO included. Then the Interstate
Commerce Commission passed an an
order requiring the Baltimore C
Ohio and other railroads to include
private" cars in making their distri-
buttons. To this order the Baltimore
& Ohio objected. claiming that the
point was then before the Circuit
Court Of Appeals. and that the Com
mission was infringing upon the du-
ties Of the court in passing such an
order. It demanded a preliminary
injunction restraining the commits.
sion from enforcing the order.
The next step in the case came a
few days ago, when the Circuit Court
of Appeals handed down decision in
the Pitcairn case reversing Judge
Morris's decision with regards to the
foreign cars" and sustaining him
with regard to private" cars.
Attention is called to the Inter-
State Commerce Commissions answer
just filed to this recent decision. It
is declared that the commissions or
der was entirely lawful: that 1t had
a perfect right to pass the order I'M
der the act giving 1t its powers, and
the court is asked to deny the Balti-
more & ohio's application for the
injunction.

in the position to confirm the whls-
pers. 1t is about some kilograms
which have recently been borne over
the throbbing wires. One Of them
was sent by'H. G. Ogden. of Wheel
ing, recent Democrat and still OPP
ponent of the Republica nparty. 1t
wa was sent to Republican national
The Ogden telegram stated in sub
stance and effect that several of tn >
Republican candidates OF this state
were refusing to permit the use OF
their names on the scherr boiling
ticket and requested that national
headquarters wire the recalcitrants
and tell them on authority Of the ma
tlonal committe that they must be
good and do as Mr.. Ogden desired.
The tone of the telegram is said to
have been rather naughty and 1t was
couched in the language usually en-
ployed by the newspaper trust mag
nate when speaking to the serfs who
earn a livelihood advancing the pc
culiar theories which promise ut the
time to fill the Golfers of the news
paper boss.
National headquarters replied to
the effusion to the effect that the ma
ton committee HAD been at some
pains to investigate conditions In
West Virginia. 1t said that 1t had
been discovered that Republican
party existed in the state; that this
party had single committee and
that the state committee in turn had
a chairman. His name is Samuel ".
Matthews and his residence is in
Clarksburg. These facts were brok-
en- gently to Mr.. Ogden and then It
was mildly suggested that Mr.. Og-
den or any other gentleman having
business with the Republican party
OF West Virginia might do well by
consulting with Mr.. Matthews who
was the whole works insofar as at
tending to business for the Republi-
cans of the state is concerned.
Mr.. Ogden has not yet appealed 70
Mr.. Matthews nor has he printed the
telegram which he has received al
though he has three papers at his
beck and nod not to mention Others
that take their cue from him and his
satellites.
