RIGHT TO VIOLATE INTERSTATE LAWS

Little Rock, Nov. 3. Judge E. w. Winfield has before him an interesting case submitted on an agreed statement of facts, which involves the rights of a railroad to violate the interstate laws, in filling an agreement and in which it makes it's own Iouting. The Block-Lyons Li- quor Go. purchased in Butler Junction, Penn, a car of liquor bottled in fiasks. At that time there was a rate on this class ot goods via Cairo, or Thebes, Ill. of roc per hundred pounds. The agent of the l.. X N. railroad here solicited the business of transporting the car to Little Rock. It was agreed that it would be given to him if the rate was met. The agent re- piled that his road would publish the rate and upon this agree ment he was given the ship ment. The rate was published, but made effective from Pitts burg only, through an oversight, and the car had moved forward. The car was turned over to the Rock Island at Memphis and when delivered here the railroad demanded the full rate of $l.50 per hundred pounds and the suit resulted over the additional soc per hundred charge.
