RAILROADS APPEAL
TO CONTINUE FIGHT ON FOREIGN
 FRANCHISE TAX.
Records of Case in Alabama Courts Be-
 ing Rapidly Prepared for su- pReme Court of United StAten.

Continuing their fight on the foreign franchise provision tax of the Alabama code, the railroads that assaiied the statute will appeal from the decision of the State Supreme Court, adverse to them, to the Supreme Court of the Uni- ted States.
 Arrangements looking to the light before the Supreme Court at Washing ton are being perfected. records of the course of the case through the State courts and through the Supreme Court are being co6apiled. Though several of the larger corporations assaiied the law, the issue will be borne to wash inRton on only one of the cases, that of the Southern Railroad against Sam uel E. Greene, Judge of the City Court of Birmingham.
 The corporations contend that the foreign franchise tax Is in contraven- ton of the provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution which demands equal protection of the law. It is on this issue that the Su- preme Court of the United States will decide the matter.
 The lower courts of the State, in Montgomery and Birmingham. decided against the cause of the corporations when the latter sued for return of the taxes paid. On appeal, the State Su- preme Court held, with one dissentisg vote. with the State courts, upholding the Alabama law

ALIGNMENT SUIT
CITY COURT LISTENS TO INTEREST.
 ING CASE.
Matter Has Been fin Courts of State f0l Several Yenrs--Wfll of Late George simgs Ia Lst-
 tmmfa0n.

A case which attracted a great deei of attention yesterday in the civil di- vision of the City Court was that of Jury Fritz vs. Mark D. Brsinard. a suit of ejectment from twenty acres of land, situated on the Wire Road, about three miles from the city limits. The matter was being argued yesterday af- tefhoon, and 1t fs probable that the jury in the case will not reach a de- cision before this morning.
 Testimony taken during the morning session of the court showed that George Singo died. leaving forty acres of land. That after hls death . will was found in which i've acres of the land was conveyed to Willie Singo. i've acres to Ellen Shepherd, and the balance Co Jury Fritz, all minors. Singo's widow was left s5 in cash.
 The widow appeared in the Probate Court of Judge J. B. Gaston. and ask ed that the whole land be set aside as a homestead for herself. Acting on the request. the Probate Court did not ad- init the will to probate. but granted the widows petition. This action on the part of the Probate Court was ap- pealed by parties in interest, but the Supreme Court in a recent case decid- ed that as the widow of Singo, she was entitled to the entire forty acres of land, for the reason that 1t did not exceed in value and amount the exemp- tions allowed her as such widow un- der the laws of the State.
 Mark D. Brainard then acquired twenty acres of the land from the wid- ow by purchase: Judge W. W. Pear son acquired ten acres. and Mrs. Mar. garet Richardson. ten acres. After the purchase the will was admitted to probate, and the minors mentioned in the will instituted suits for ejectment and possession against Rraiuard. Judge Pearson and Mrs. Richardson.
 The suit, against Brainard was the first to be called on the docket and the cases pending against Judge Pearson and Mrs. Richardson on similar pro- eeedings will be determined blythe de- cision In the Brainard case.
 With the conclusion of the Brtlnard case, the dockt for this term q the civil division of the City Court will hava ended. The motion docket oA the court will be heard at 10 o'clock Sat- urday. April 24s
