RATE CASES ARE UP
IN MISSOURI COURT

KANSAS CITY, No, May 5.-Missouris
rate cases were again up for considera-
ton in the federal court here today when
Judge Smith Mcpherson heard arguments
Off a permanent injunction to restrain the
state courts and state officials from in
terfering i'm this litigation, which origin
ated in the United tSates courts.
All of the proceedings of the fedral
court for the western district of Mis-
souri, in these rate cases have with a
single exception been handled by Judge
Mcpherson, who is the presiding judge
of the southern district of Iowa. Judge
Phillips. who is the presiding judge in
the United States district court for the
western district of Missouri, has in the
meantime been engaged with cases in the
circuit court of appeals and his only en-
try into the present litigation has been
to issue the temporary restraining or
der against the state courts simply to
save Judge Mcpherson from coming to
Kansas iCty to perform that act
At the opening of the court here today
Judge Phillips assumed the bench only
long enough to make a brief statement
of his connection with the cases, this
as a result of Representative Murphy's
resolution demanding a congressional in
vestigation Of the acts of these two
judges. Judge Phillips then vacated the
bench and Judge Mcpherson, who had
arrived during the morning from st. Lou
is, was left to hear the arguments of
the state and the railways in the injunc-
ton suit

BIG STICK WAS USED
BY GLUCOSE TRUST

The recent decision of the supreme
ccrx4 % the United States relative to
recovery for sales made by combina-
ton in restraint of trade has been IN
voked by the ID. r. Wilder Manufacturing
company, OF Atlanta, in the defense OF
suit brought against them oy the Corh
Products Refining Co.
In the answer filed by this company
through Smith & Hastings, its attorneys,
II is alleged that the plaintiff is trust
formed to control the business OF manu-
featuring glucose; that at a time when
it controlled a complete monopoly OF the
trade the Corn Products Refining Co..
forced the defendant and other consum-
ers of glucose in the United States into
a series of contracts by which they agreed
not to trade with any one but the trust
and not to resell the glucose purchased
from the trust.
1t is alleged that the consumers were
given a rebate on their sales provided
they traded exclusively with the plain
tiff, but that each years rebate was made
dependent on this exclusive trade with
the trust for the next year, so that any
consumer who broke with the trust sac
rificed large sum on the previous
years business.
1t is claimed that these contracts were
a violation of the federal antitrust acts
and that sales made under them shared in
their illegality and cannot be the basis
for a recovery. The Corn Products Re
filming Co., is described as a combination
of the Glucose Refining Co., the Ameri-
can Glucose Co., the u. S. Sugar Refining
Co., the National Starch Co, the United
Starch Co., The Corn Products Co., the
Warner Sugar Refining Co, The st. Louis
Syrup and Preserving Co, The New York
Glucose Co., The Pope Glucose Co., the
Illinois Sugar Refining Co., and many
other firms and corporations which, 1t is
said, were combined for the purpose OF
monopolizing trade and increasing prices.
The suit for recovery brought by the
Corn Products Refining Co. was filed in
the city court The answer of the d. r.
Wilder Manufacturing Co., was made on
Monday afternoon.

SAYS PUNISHMENT
WAS INADEQUATE
GOVERNOR DISAPPROVES OF,
COURT MARTIALS-$25 FINE
FOR MUSICIAN KELLER AND
PRIVATE SIPPLE.

The verdict of the Savannah courtmar-
tial. which last fall heard the cases
against Musician Lamar Keller and Prl-
waite j. Ward Sipple, charged with hrlns
their guns from the rear of train, dur
ing which performance negro was serl-
ously injured and which provided pen
atty of a $25 fine for each Of the defend
ants, has been disapproved by Governor
Smith.
In his order on the subject Governor
Smith states that the sentence is wholly
inadequate to the maintenance of discip-
line and that to let it stand Woulu De
.'travesty on Justice"
Keller and Supple were supposed to be
the ringfeaders of a crowd of soldiers IN
troop A, First cavalry squadron, who dis
charged their rifles from the rear OF
train upon which they were returning
from the Chickamauga park encampment
to their homes at Savannah During the
firing a negro track hand was shot in
the arm and seriously injured.
The governors reviewing order follows:
Executive Office, Atlanta, Ca, May 8,
i9O9.-The proceedings in the foregoing
cases of Musician Keller and Private j..
Ward Sipple, of troop A, First squadron
of cavalry, national guard of Georgia, are
approved.
After careful consideration of the evil
dence in each case, it is the opinion of
the reviewing authority that the sentence
awarded for the offense of which the ac-
cused were found guilty. and also allow
ing for any implied sanction through
failure of officers sooner to interfere, is
considered to be so Insignificant in COM
parison with the punishment provided by
tine penal code of Georgia for similar civil
offense, as to make it mere travesty on
justice, If approved. In view of the fore
going, the reviewing authority feels con-
strained to disapprove all of the findings
except as to the first specification and the
charge which latter are approved. and to
disapprove of the sentence as wholly in
adequate to the maintenance of discipline.
Musician Keller and Private Supple
will, therefore, be at once released from
arrest and restored to duty.

Christening Of the Vast Struc-
ture, Bright With Color and
Lights, Was a Spectacle Be-
yond Description.
THOUSANDS ENTHRALED
AT ENCHANTING SCENE AS
THEY WERE BY MUSIC
All Atlanta Was Present to Partlci-
pate in the Grand Celebration-SO-
ciety Added to the Glory of the o.
caSiOn.

Never before in the history of At
lanta has such glorious tribute been
maid TO any muse as that which Eu-
terpe received Tuesday evening, on
the opening night of the great
Southern Music festival. The city
and the assembled south bowed
down and worshiDed harmony. Mag
ic fingers touched the strings of a
magic harp in the southland's soul,
walked il into being, and left IL VI
brant. living. II was an epoch in
the city's history. Hereafter through
all time Atlanta will hold place
among the worlds music shrines.
Nothing so wonderful had ever
charmed the city, hushed its discord,
enthralled il, lifted il to ecstasy,
caused its very being to culver.
A stupendous audience of 5000
people packed the big auditorium
from wall to wall and from floor to
girder. IL was long in assembling.
At T:15 o'clock, an hour before the
program was announced TO begin,
there were hundreds waiting for the
doors to be opened. From then in
steadily increasing numbers the
thousands poured in, flowing, flow
ing. flowing, till it seemed they
would never cease. They were
jammed from the street steps under
he big double entrance arches, at 8
o'clock, through the lobby clear to
the Dogs
At $40 O'Clock the pack was at
its worst. AT Sis. when the pro-
gram was due to start, there was no
perceptible lessening in the crush
Five minutes more passed, and still
they came. The auditorium was fill-
ing at the rate of 60 people TO the
second, vet none seemed to come,
for as the new arrivals emerged
into the vast interior they seemed
to be swallowed and disappear like
steam clouds fading in a summer
sky. Ten minutes more, half past
eight o'clock; and still they came.
The program was already Is min
utcs delayed.
Light Floods Auditorium
But at that moment the reserve illu-
n1ination Of the big auditorium startled
the teeming audience with even greater
