JUDGE JONES OF UNITED STATES
COURT OVERRULES DEMUR-
RERS OF ATTORNEYS FOR RAIL
ROAD COMMISSION IN RATE
CASES.
Rv Associated Press.

Montgomery, Ala, July Judge
Jones, of the United States court, to-
day rendered an opinion overruling
the demurrers of Attorney General
CARRIER and other attorneys for the
railroad commission of Alabama in
the Alabama rate cases.
The demurrer of the railroad COM
mission was sustained in one respect,
in that the commission is permitted
to reduce the rates if it found a neces-
sity for so doing He holds to his
original ruling that action to prevent
an agent of the state from doing an
unlawful act while performing the
duty of an agent of the state is not a
suit against the state.

RIVERS CAUSE
GREAT DAMAGE
PORTIONS OF MISSOURI AND
KANSAS ARE INUNDATED AND
THOUSANDS OF LIVES IMPER-
ILED-kANSAS CITY STOCK
YARDS IN DANGER.
By Associated Press.

Kansas City, July 7.-Swollen by
unprecedented rains the Missouri and
Kansas rivers are overlooking, caus-
ing immense damage to many parts
of Missouri and Kansas, and tonight
thousands of lives in the flooded dis
trict are imperiled. The inundated
section is largely cut off on account
of wires being down, but it is known
that at least eight lost their lives.
A train on the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad, which left here
this morning for Denver, met with a
serious wreck at Pomona, Kans. OF
the ten coaches four, a baggage cal
and three day coaches, left the track
and rolled into eighteen feet of wa
ter. The roadbed was covered with
water and the train was moving slow
~ when the tracks spread and over
turned the coaches. The passengers,
three hundred in numbers, were res
cued by means of boats. Two women
were injured, but it is believed none
were killed in the wreck.
Pomona is almost completely mum
dated, and the river at that point is
three miles wide. A relief train was
sent from Ottowa tonight.
In Kansas City the situation is
threatening. In the bottoms in the
western section, where are located
the stock yards and wholesale ware
houses, the waters of the Missouri
and Kansas rivers are tonight tapping
the danger line. At Chillicothe, Mo,
six men were swept down the river

: livered before the state bar asSOcia-
ton by George w. Wickersham. at
torney general of the United States,
tonight. The address was notable
chiefly for the recommendation that
congress should enact a law proyid-
Ing for nationally created corpora

merce.
Wickersham sketched ways by
which the states may regulate bust
ness and foreign corporations within
their boundaries. He quoted decis-
ions to show that corporations are
not citizens within the meaning Ot
Rhe federal constitutional require
ments. As to the status OF corpora
tiOns, Wickersham said they are per-
sons, who could not be deprived OF
life, liberty or property only by due
process Of law.
He said: 1T seems 20 me the eff
Iective method of legislating on this
subject would be to enact that no
Foreign corporation shall be licensed

ATLANTA, Ca, July 7.-G. Grosvenor
Dave, managing director of the Sou
thern Commercial congress, made an
address today on the potential great
ness of the Southern states, before
TIE meeting of the Southern CONNER
cial Secretaries association. Mr..
Dave said in part:
Viewed from the point OF coast
line, 1t is well to understand that the
Southern states possess an enormous
advantage over the other two-thIrds
of the United States, for the coastline
of the southern states is 3,007 miles.
while the coast line Of the North At
lantic states is SSS miles; of the Pa
cific Coast 1867 miles
The natural advantages of coast
line are already asserting their influ-
ence, for we are able to say that a
southern port still holds the second
position COR exports among all tho
ports of the United States-New Or
leans in 1900, and now a southern
port that nine years ago was wreck
ed and rent by Storm-the port OF
Galveston.
GULF PORTS AHEAD.
1--WE are able to show you that the
exports along the Gulf now exceed
the exports of Philadelphia and Bos-
ton by 81 per cent, and they equal
more than so per cent of the total
which belongs to the cvershadowfng
port of New York. The tables of ex-
ports for 1900 and 1908 show that 81
per cent growth in exports has taken
place in New York, Philadelphia and
