DELAY IN WORK ON
 TIE RATE CASES Attorneys Expect to Begin 1ak- ing testimony In Becember RATES ARE NOW ON TRIAL Louisville and Nashville Railroad Is Leader in the Fight Against the
 Lower Freight and Pas
 senger Tariff.
RATES ARE NOW ON TRIAL

Montgomery, Ala. November 14-(Spe- cial )-As a result of many unlocked for calls upon the time of experts there has been more and more delay in the opening of work by the referees appointed to take testimony in the rate cases pend- ing between the state and portion of the rail lines. Reversing a decision of the United States district court at Mont gomery the circuit court of appeals ordered that the statutory rates be given a trial and this is being done.
 Judge W. s. Thorington and Maj. w. A Gunter. appointed by the court to take testimony as to whether or not the rates are remuneratfve, opened offices in the Bell building, this city, some weeks ago and it was thought that evidence might be in shape to be taken up by the mid ale of October, but not so. The experts of the Louisville and Nashville the lead ing railroad in the fight were called to Florida where the state commission got in behind the company for something. and have not been able to get the Ala bama cases along.
 However we hope to begin by the first of December" said Gregory l.. Smith, chief counsel for the Louisville and Nashville, this week. TT am trying to work Judge S. D. Weakley up to the point now" Judge Weakley Is the asso- ciate of Attorney General Garber, in charge of this side of the litigation, and is making speeches over the state for the amendment, also in the interest of his candidacy for governor. Mir Smith anticipated no trouble in getting the judge down to tacks, though, and 1t ap- pears now that the work of taking testi- mony may begin before the holidays.
 This Is a story long drawn out. Early in the year 1907 the legislature, fresh from the people and the excitement of the campaign which landed B. B. Conner in the gubernatorial chair, passed laws for 21k cent passenger fares and estab- ushed a schedule of state made rates on no commodities of freight of such gen. eral use as to greatly cut into the rev enue of the rail lines. On March 30. that year. they were enjoined by the federal court, on application of the rail lines.
 An extra session tried to tighten them up, and the injunctions were get up again on December 2, 19G7 The circuit court of appeals said they ought to be given a trial. This is being done. Almost three years have passed since it began. It looks like several more will go along be- fore it is settled However. the state has enjoyed the lower rates much of the time, which is an item to the credit side at any rate.
