IT. & Il. V. WINTS ITS CASE.
State Files No Motion for a Rehear
ing in Supreme Court.

ing In supreme court.
Austin, Texas, Dec. O. Saturday
was the last day the state or the
Railroad Commission could file a
motion for rehearing in the Trinity
and Brazos Valley case, pending in
the supreme court at Austin, and
none was filed, therefore. the decis-
ion of the courts are accepted as fl
nal and the Trinity and Brazos Val
ley can continue to operate its trains
over the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
tracks from Waxahachie to Dallas
without stopping at intermediate
points.
Under the trackage agreement it
obligated itself not to do any passen-
ger or freight business between
Waxahachie and Dallas. Towns inter
mediate complained to the Railroad
Commission and an order was issued
directing the Trinity and Brazos Val
ley 10 stop it's trains at such points
and do business as though said pla-
ces were local places on its own line.
The company paid no attention to
the order and, by direction of the
commission, the attorney general in
stituted proceedings for penalties for
violation of the commission orders.
The trial and appellate courts held
that the contract was valid and that
the lessee line could obligate itself
not to engage in business at such in
termediate points. The supreme
court refused to grant the states APP
plication for writ of error, thus fin
ally affirming the Judgment Of the
lower court, and without writing an
opinion. This finally determines the
status of trackage contracts and
sustains them as to the obligation
not to engage in local business on the
lessons line.

10000 LIVES LOST
IN MESSINA ALONE

MESSINA, Jan. 16.-An official estirnatt
of the dead in Messina as result of this
catastrophe of December Is, made by
Stuart X. Lupton. the American vice con
sui, on behalf of the American embassy
at Rome, places the number at 5000. Mr.
Lupton estimates also that there are to-
day still 10000 people in the city. The
work of getting information concerning
individuals who were in Messina at the
time of the earthquake is extremely diff
cult, as there are undoubtedly stfl tens
of thousands under the ruins and other
tens of thousands have scattered through
out Sicily and the peninsula. The people
still in Messina are camping out in the
outskirts and IL has been quite impossible
ito take any census of them.
