the worst snow storms that has ever
occurred in the west is now at the
height of its fury, and has complete

The snow was blown into railroad

ordered snow plows to the scene,
and they are hard at work clearing
the track, but little progress can be
made until the snow ceases to fall.

MoNTGoMERy, ALA, March 2s.-rr
sweeping decision, making pern,a.
rent the preliminary injunction graft
ed last August, Judge Thomas G. Zones
| OF the Federal Court Of Alabama. Mid.
ole District, declared that acts which
sought to prevent the railroads of thu
state from going into the Federal
courts werey unconstitutional and that
the antirailroad acts OF the Alabama
Legislature should be suspended pend.
ing an investigation of the complaints
OF the railroads. that the acts were
Confiscatory
Judge Jones declared that the sub
jcct of States rights is not in
vclved in the issue now in the Fed
eral court. The opinion says:
Life would be intolerable In
any government claiming to be at
all free, wherein the citizens had
no redress against wrongs done by
officials in the name Of the state"
The Constitution itself 1t is held,
gives the Federal court the right to
pass upon such questions and the real
objections to It's exercise Is therefore
an objection to the principles of the
Union.
The effect Of the decision is to de-
clare UNCONSTITUTIONAL q great many OF
the parts of the railroad code adopted
by the Alabama Legislature. and to
suspend all rate acts until the Justice
OF the rates can be determined. The
opinion had been published and was in
the hands of the printer for delivery
when the United States Supreme Court
rendered It's opinion iii the Minnesota
cases. which were similar to those In
which the State of Alabama was a
party. In all essential details the opin-
lon was similar to that rendered by Mr..
Justice Peckham.
