RAILRORD RATE
 CASE DISMISSED

ashington, April Special. )- The interstate commerce commission today in an opinion rendered by Com missioner Clark, announced it's decision in the case in the Bainbridge board of trade against the Louisville, Hender- son and St. Louis Railway company and others. The complainant assailed all rates from St. Louis Mo. to Bain- bridge, Ga., as unjust and unreasonable but the evidence relied upon to sup port that allegation is largely by way of comparison with other rates espe- cially with the rates to Eufaula, Ala, and incidentally with the rates to All bany, Ga. The real question involved is the alleged unjust discrimination against Bainbridge and undue prefer ence in favor of Eufaula by reason of which complainant claims that the Eu faula rates are the only just and req sonable ones to apply to Bainbridge.
 The commission decided that the cir, cumstances and conditions ob taining at Eufaula are materially different from those surrounding Bainbridge and dis missed the complaint.

Mrs. Castro in Trinidad.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, April s. The French Line steamer Guadeloupe arrived here this morning. She was fol- lowed Into the harbor by the United States cruiser Montana, which was in attendance on her on the trip from Port de France, where ex-President Castro landed yesterday. Immediately the Guadeloupe dropped anchor a num- Der of launches and other boats con taining a strong armed guard, follow ing instructions issued by Lieut.. Col. c. D. Swain, commandant of the mili- tary department of Trinidad, proceeded to the steamer
 Only the ships agent, newspaper correspondents and relatives of the pas sengers were permitted on board. Dur ing the time the Guadeloupe remained in the harbor the guard boats were on duty, notwith standing the fact that Castro was not on board. The Guade- loupe sailed for Carupano Venezuela, this afternoon.
 During the course of an interview Mrs. Castro expressed great disap- pointment at the exclusion of her hus- band. She did not consider the ac- ton of the British government in keeping with the usual hospitality ex- tended to strangers. She spoke very highly, however. of the treatment re- ceived during their stay in France.
 Mrs. Castro said that 1t had been her husbands intention in taking up his temporary residence in Trinidad merely to rest and to look after his personal interests. Now that this priv ilege had been denied him, she did not know what his next move would be. She proposes to procede to La Guayra and if not permitted to land will con tinue the voyage as far as Colon.
 Public opinion here generally favors the exclusion of Castro. Although not in keeping with the English traditions, 1t is recognized that this action was taken for the maintenance of peace and good relations with the neighboring republics During Castro's presidency trade and commerce between Trinidad and Venezuela were practically de- stroyed and only recently have com mercial relations been re-established. The police have taken strong measures looking to the prevention of any con spiracy here. The two American war ships North Carolina and Montana, are awaiting instructions here and prob ably will leave this port late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

The suit was brought in the United States circuit court for the Southern district of New York and dispositions necessary to be taken here brought to the case to Cincinnati to- day
 The United States Tobacco company and the Larus Tobacco company of Richmond, Va, and the Weissert Broth CTS Tobacco company of St. Louis, are the plaintiffs in the action. The Me Andrews Forbesc ofpany of New York, J. S. Young Company of Baltimore, and the American Tobacco company, itself of which the other companies named are alleged to be component parts, are the defendants.
 The plaintiffs claim that by reason Of the control of the traffic in licorice during 1903 and 1904 they were un- able to get licorice at any price with out signing an agreement with the J. s. Young Company to buy at price above it's actual value, that without licorice they could not manufacture the kinds of tobacco they were en- gagged in making. and that by reason of the excessive price they were compelled to pay they suffered damages to the extent of $20.O0O, for which they de- mand compensat tion of s6o,000 under the terms of the law.
 Four witnesses were examined to- day Horace W. Bowman of Lexing- ton, Ky, Edwin F.. Shelby of Cincin- natl, Walter J. Friedlander of Gin cinnati, and Gerald Connolly of the Western Tobacco Journal. The testi-' mony of the three tobacco manufac- turers related to the experiences in getting licorice paste in 1903 and 1904 and the necessity they were under or signing contracts with the J. s. Young

America and England Unite In Their Restrictions
 Upon Venezuelan
CASTRO'S FAMILY IS NOW
 ON ISLAND OF TRINIDAD
Mrs. Castro Resents Greatly the Act of England In Keeping Her Husband Away From British
 Territory.

Washington, April S.-The efforts of the American government to keep for mer President Castro out of Venezuela and away from the nearby mainland and islands have every indication of being crowned with success.
 Most of the powers having posses sions in that part of the world have . indicated to the state department that Castro's presence is not wanted within their boundaries and they are willing to acquiesce in the desire of the Unit ed States that he be far removed from the scene of his former prestige.
 Notwithstanding his dispossession as president he has still a great many warm adh erents in his native country and it is realized here that his return might be made the occasion of dem onstration resulting in the re-estab- lishment of unsettled conditions. This government feels that Castro ought not to be allowed to return to Ven ezuela or be permitted to make his headquarters at any of the surrounding points.

 Attorney General Cannot Act.
 'Jefferson7 City. Mo, April Ex-Governor Hadley at midnight said the injunction against the railroads filed by Circuit At torney Jones of St. Louis was filed by MT. Jones because of the question of Attorney General Major being restrained by the federal court.
 Governor Hadley drew up the petition which was filed in St. Louis.
 Attorney General Major said tonight that he had himself suggested to Cover nor Hadley some time ago the advisability of proceedings against the railroads under the Missouri antitrust law in event the 3-cent rate was put into effect He said he did not expect any action to be taken however, until the railroads made good their threat to raise the passenger rates.
 The attorney general said he had ad- vised the governor that freight as well as passenger rates might be kept down by such proceeding.
 He said he understood he was enjoined bv the federal court from enforcing the 2-cent passenger law. He refused to com ment upon the methods employed by the governor to bring the railroads to time

NEEDED A HIT TO WIN OUT
Academy Shy the Necessary Safety-Moore of
Morgan Pitches Fine MORT aft Makes Winning Rally
in Ninth-C. A. C's have Good Margin in Opening
Game-Other Sports.

Just for lack of one little safe slam
at the ball at any one of half dozen
times, the Academy lost to Morgan
school of Clinton Saturday afternoon,
to l, on the campus 1t was the best
played game shown by the Academy
this season and was a tantalizing kind
of a game to lose and luck figured to
some extent in sending the Morgan
boys home winners. Luck, and the
elongated Mr.. Moore. who occupied the
clab for Morgan school. In fact, the
Morgan battery left little for the rest
of the team to do, as Catcher Merwtn
crossed the pan with the two runs that
beat the Academy, and Pitcher Moore
counted up the star total Of fifteen
strikeout victims. In six of the nine
innings he famed two of the three
needed to retire the side. . Mckay in
the second, Captain Noyes in the third
and Lawler in the fifth each opened
their inning with a two Dagger, but
not a hit off the lanky portsider could
be gathered to bring them in.
While the Morgan pitcher was hold
ing the Academy so tight, the home
team was also developing a find IN the
pitching department in young Bert
Bailey. He pitched cool and heady
game, although striking out only one,
but he had the batters laying them
down to the infeld or sending up sky
scrapers that were taken in clever
form by Captain Noyes. Lawler and
Thompson Bailey made one bad
break with a wild pitch on which Mer-
win scored from first with Morgan's
first run, after the visiting catcher had
got on through Murray's poor throw to
first in the second inning. This even
ed up the score as the Academy had
made a good start at the opening,
Lawler going to first when pinked by
one of Moore's benders, stealing sec
ond, reaching third on the throw past
the bag, and scoring when Nerwin
dropped the third strike on Ricketts,.
Hendrick and Murphy followed with
singles, but Murray famed.
Another bad throw in the fourth
helped to produce the run that won
the game, Murphy heaving over third
base in trying TO make double play
on Burdicks sacrifice, which Bailey
fielded. Merwin. who had singled,
reached third on the throw over and
scored when Clark put one in short
center that LAWYER couldn't quite
reach. Thompson closed the inning
with double play off Closes fly ball,
catching Finer off second.
In the Academy half Of the ninth
excitement ran high in the cheering
section at a chance to win out when
Murray reached first on a scratch. sec
ond on g. steal, and third on q passed
ball. with none out. Chappie Mckay
was caught stepping out Of his box
when batting and declared out. Tracy
and Wulf were rushed in for pinch
hitters. but both famed without touch
ing the bail.
Captain Moves did great work on six
chances in left field, retiring the side
on four difficult flies in the eighth,
Shortstop Hsndrick was a stone wall
on grounders, and Murray put in a
busy day at third, where he felded
well. The whole team showed a snap
by, wideawake game that is bound to
count in their coming games.
