which the bill alleges were threatened and which the bills seek to enjoin.
 He argued that this action of the leg islature did not, in any sense, take away the cause of action of the complainaNts because the complainants were not seek ing to recover anything by their bill, but were only seeking to arrest action, and that the legislature did it in harmony with their purpose, arrested the doing that of which they complained in their bill And, therefore, that no action by the railroad commission or the attorney general could be taken legally and if # should be taken, such action would be contrary to law, and being against the law of the state, would not be the act of the state under the 14th amendment to the constitution of the United States
 The effect of his argument was to show that there was nothing left of the subject matter in the original litigation and hence the original bill would not be supported by the supplemental bill. He also contended that the court had no power to prevent action by the railroad commission in the matter of fixing new rates above two and one-half cents, and below three cents; that the commission exercised legislative power, and that nc court by injunction could restrain ex- ercise of such power, although 1t might in proper case, and with the proper defendants, inquire into the reasonable ness Of rates fixed by the commission.
 Therefore, the courts order enjoinine the railroad commission from reducing passenger rates below three cents, and freight rates below those in force when the original bill was filed, was without authority of law. and could not be sup ported by the decisions of the supreme court of the United States.
 Judge Weakley gave notice that he would, before closing his argument. e. cuss the character of the suits an1s un- dertake to show that they were suits A against the state, in contravention of the immunity guaranteed to the state of Ala. bama under the 11th amendment of the constitution of the United States.
 The speaker declared that he based al of his claims upon the decisions of the supreme court of the United States, and the constitution of the United States which he recognized as the paramount law of the land
