CASES WILL WAIT MANDATE IF COURT Taking of Testimony Will Not

STATE OFFICERS PLEASED
By HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, April 3.-CSpecial Moth ing will be done in the rate litigation be- tween the state and the railroads until the action of the United States circuit cuort of appeals, reversing the lower court at Montgomery. and ordering revocation of injunction against state laws, be indicated in formal way by receipt of the mandate of that court. Within 15 days after the re- eept of the mandate Judge Thomas G. Jones, acting as judge of the Fifth cir cuit will reassemble the court here and take such action as at that time is in line with the law.
 Seeking to save time and get to work taking testimony while the case is pend ing. the railroads sought to have Judge Jones suspend such part of the order of Injunction issued some time ago as would prevent the filing Of pleadings and the answer of the state in the supplemental bills. it being desired that evidence be taken so that there would be much done by tho time the case is taken up on the appeal The state, however combatted this movement, preferring to have the whole matter adjusted for further service after the mandate comes down.
 Argument for the state was made by Attorney General A. M. Garber and As soeiate Counsel S. D. Neakley and H. c. Selheimer, Judge Weakley making the principal speech. George W. Jones, J. Manley Foster of the Louisville and Nashville and B. P. Crum for the Central of Georgia, with Hugh Nelson for the trust company holding the bonds of the Central. appeared for the rail lines. It is held that the best course for all is to wait until the appeal case is made final, which will be after consideration of the motion for a rehearing filed in New Or leans Monday.
 State house officers are very much pleased with the outcome of this, the first follow move after the loss of the cases by the rail lines. They seem to feel that they are going to be able to head off any movement that will delay matters and get at the meat Of the matter right away. It Is the well-known wish of the roads to have the rates tried only six months. On the other hand the state thinks and will go insist that there can be no adequate trial under d year. For this reason the state desires to hold up until the appeal question is settled, and it is known for fact that there is no more fighting to maintain the victory won in the court of appeals.

FINALLY ADOPTS
FILTER CONTRACT
Council by Narrow Margin Ac-
cepts Amendments of

OLD OPPOSITION WAS ALIVE
Six Aldermen Hold Out Again Pitts
burg Concern, But Are De-
feated by Colleagues.

The contract between the city and
the Pittsburg Filter company for the
new filter plant which is to be erected
on the mill was finally approved last
night at the meeting of the city coun-
Gil and the mayor was authorized to
go ahead and have the documents sign
ed up and the company was directed
to commence work whenever It is
ready
The decision on the contract and the
amendments to it which we Z offered
by the company brought about the
same old split in the council which has
characterized most of the action on
the filter proposition. After the mat
ter had been threshed out in council
meetings and finally refereed to the
committees on waterworks and finance
and reported favorably upon, ii was
generally supposed that the fiuai action
would be taken with the cornell act
ing as unit. This was not true, how
ever. as the proposition was carried
through by the small margin of one
vote, there being seven aldermen in
favor and six opposed

with the proposed amendments TO the

which it is to be built and operated.
Aldermen IKE. McNealy, LaV4away

nority report, the others voting It

The report of the majority of the
two committees was TO the effect that
the contract with the Pittsburg com
pany be amended by the addi+ onal
clauses proposed by the company and
that it be signed and properly execut-
ed and the work commenced. This re-
port was adopted with the votes of the
following aldermen: Blochlinger. Iiolz-
hammer Carse. Thompson, Frick,

going to get from Santa CLAUSE"
The teachers eyes were on the
book in front of her, but she was not
looking at the type. She was wait
ing to hear what little Sammy ex-
pscted to get. No answer followed
the question for minute, and then
the silence was broken by a sob and
the ragged little fellow said between
his sobs: q guess l won't get any
thing this year. My mama told me
that papa was the only real Santa
Claus, and my papa died last sum-
mer. Mama takes in washing and
earns money that way, but she says
our Santa Claus is dead and that I
must do without anything at Christ
mas time
Is to BE Pleasantly Disappointed.
The child was partly mistaken,
however, for although his own Santa
Claus is dead, he will be visited by
that kindly old parsonage just the
same, as the teacher has made some
plans along that line. In addition
to this she has made liberal dona-
ton to the fund being raised by The
Argus for the children and she is
heart and soul in the work The
sobs of one little boy awakened her
to the fact that there are many
others who will receive no visit from
Santa Claus unless the more FORUM
ate of the city take it upon them
selves to send him to them.
