MORE SUITS FILED
OTHER ROADS ATTACK THE FRAN
 CHIsE TAX.
Central, Atlantic Coast Line ard sea- board Air Line Bring suits to Recover Alleged Uncon.
 sfffutional Tax.

With allegations similar to those contained In the suit of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company filed last week. the Central of Georgia Rail- way. the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line Railroad yesterday instituted suit in the Montgomery City Court for the recovery of several thou sand dollars of franchise taxes which they recently paid under protest to Probate Judge J. B. Gaston of Mont gonery County.
 The plaintiffs ailese that the taxes were collected under an unconstitu- tional act of the Legislature of Msrch T. 1907. This is the noted franchise tax act which imposes on foreign cor poratlons tax graduated according to the amount of capital employed in the State of Alabama. In the case of the Louisville and Nashville, the amount claimed Is upwards of $2s.000 while the amounts sought to be recovered by the roads which filed suits yesterday are as follows: Central of Georgia, S11.371.4f, Atlantic Coast Line. $2.64s; and the seaboard Air Line (receivers). sf.7o3.ss.
 The suits are brought against the Judge of Probate Of Montgomery County. who. when the taxes were paid under protest entered into an agree ment with the railroads that he should withhold tho money from the State Treasurer until the suits were finally settled.
 There Is a common resistance to this franchise tax among the railroads of the State. The Southern Railway and the Nashville. Chattanooga and St Louis Rllway. 1t Is understood. have paid their taxes under protset in Bir- mingham and similar suits have been begun In the City Court of Birming- ham to recover.
 The roads are attacking the law or several grounds. The contentious oi the plaintiffs which filed suits yester. day are practically the same as those put forward by counsel of the Louis. ville and Nashville. The attack is on the constitutionaiity of the law ons of the allegations Is that the title tc the act of the Legislature imposing the tax Is not clearly expressed and there. fore in violation of the State Consts. tuition. Among the other grounds |, that the Legislature has not the right to provide for taxation for county use
 Under the franchise tax law one, third of the amount is retained by tht County collecting the same.

 CITY COURT.
Status of Messenger Boy May Pe De termined by Decision in the City Court of Mont-
 gomery.

I u = Eighteen cases were yesterday dis- posed of at the first days session of the civil division of the City Court. Judge A D. Sayre presiding.
 Many of these eighteen cases were settled in short order. none of them. with the exception of the case of the Alabama Chemical Company vs. the Western Union Telegraph cor1pany, occupied over ten minutes of the courts time.
 The case of the Alabama Chemical Company vs. the Western Union Tele- graph Company. presents nice ques- ton. and after the conclusion or the arguments advanced by attorneys Tor both sides, Judge Sayre took the case under advisement.
 The facts in the case follow. The Alabama Chemical Company rang for n Western Union messenger and de- livered to him a message to brokers in Chicago. written on a day message blank. On his return to the ofiice, the messenger boy handed in the mes sage, which was sent as night mes sage and charged against the Chemi- cal Company accordingly.
 The Chemical Company claims that the delay caused by sending the mes sage at night damaged them to the ex- tent of SIS. and a claim for this amount was accordingly filed
 The point raised yesterday by the attorneys was as to whether the mes. senger boy rang for. was the agent of the Telegraph Company Sor of the Ala bama Chemical Company. Attorneys for the Western Union Company claim that as the messenger was rung Tor on a box placed in the office of the Chem. fcal Company under contract, and that on his return he announced he nad 2 night message. the messenger boy was .
