Judge Barham SustainS Decis-
ion Of Commission.
DEMURRA6E ON RAILROADS
Companies May be Taxed For FAIL
ure to Furnish Cars to Shippers
Trial Of Suit Of c. q o. Against
Contractor J. w. Davis.

Jndge Barham handed down an
opinion in the Corporation Court yes
terday morning In which he holds that
the order OF the state Corporation
Commission requiring railroads
operating In the State OF virginia 10
nav demurrage tax for failure 10
furnish cars TO shippers Is constitnt-
ional. The opinion was rendered IN
The suit OF the Chesapeake 4 ONO
Railway Company against Contractor
] w. Davis, OF this city, for the col
lection of freight charges aggregat-
ing s2.246.
The trial Of the suit was taken up
by Judge Barham last week. At
tcrneys r. NJ. Lett and J. A. Massie'
counsel for Mr. Davis, admitted the
claim of the railway. but contended
that their client had demurrage
claim which would offset the claim or
the company. This demurrage claim
amounts to $1,524 and Is the out
growth of the alleged failure OF the
railway company to furnish cars TO
Mr. Davis when he was laying the
concrete steps and bottom in dry
dock No. 3, az the shipyard, more
than year age.
Two Points Raised.
Attorneys r. G. Bickford and >.
Otis Bland, representing the railway,
Immediately raised two points. The
first was that the order of the Cor
poration Commission requiring the
payment of the demurrage is uncon-
stitutional in that 1t leaves no provis-
ion whereby the railroads can escape
the penalty when they have short
age OF cars. The other point was
that the claim for the demurrage
should be brought before the Cor
noration Commission. sitting as a
court, and not In court OF law. Inc
points were argued at length last
week and Judge Barham took them
under advisement.
On taking up the trial of the court
again yesterday morning Judge Bar
ham announced that he overruled
both points brought by the railway
company and the trial then proceeded
on its merits.
Railway Gets Judgment.
Judge Barham entered an order for
Judgment of 800 In favor of the rail-
way company against Mr.. Davis. this
amount being the difference between
the claim of freight charges of the
railway and the claim of demurrage
by Mr.. Davis.
Contractor Davis was the first wit
ness called TO the stand and he was
still in the witness chair when court
adjourned for the day L. r. Timber
lake viii be called as a witness for
Mr.. Davis.
j. II. Graves. local agent for the
Chesapeake & Ohio. and r. M. Nell
sen, the chief clerk. have been sub
poenaed to appear with the tariff
schedules OF the railroad. Superin-
tendent OF Terminals r. l. Ford also
may be summoned for The railway
company. The trial OF the suit Will
be continued today.
