POSTPONE
SLEEPING
CAR CASES
St. Paul Case Is Identical
With Case at Chicago
Injunction Asked to Prevent
Lower Berth Rates
Ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission

st. Paul, May 2s.-Judges sanborn,
Adams and Hook of the United States
circuit court, to day postponed the
hearing of the application of the Great
Northern Railway Co.. for an iniunc-
ton to restrain the interstate com
merce commission from putting into
effect a reduction in sleeping car rates
until June s.
The hearing was postponed at the
suggestion of Judge Sanborn, the other
judges consenting, in order to permit
the Great Northern Railway to go to
Chicago to ask to be allowed to in
tervene in a similar case before the
court there. and get a hearing, to
obviate the necessity of two sets of
records, If the court at Chicago al
lows the Intervention, the case here
will be dismissed.
Judge Sanborn said the Chicago
case was indentical with the case be-
fore the court here and If the Great
Northern railway was allowed to come
in as an intervenor there, it could pre-
sent its arguments and then if an ap-
peal was to be taken one set of rec
ords would do for both cases.
If the court at Chicago refused to
allow the road to intervene, then the
case will be taken UP here at the time
stated.

ever, that the present survey will not

be run some three or four miles fur
Ither south, as the present survey, while
perhaps an easier grade, takes the line
too far north into territory properly
tributary to the present main line of

Small 'possunn up a very big tree"
Vertrees asserted that every official
act of BalIinger had been "above

been guilty of improper conduct in
preparing the Cunningham affi-

Washington, D. c., May 2s.-"Mr.
Ballinger will bear to his grave the
scars placed upon him by reason Of
the disappointment and revenge Of
men. incapable of generous impulses
and sentiments exclaimed his de-
fender, Attorney John ]. Vertrees dur
ing the continuance of his summing
UP argument before the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigating committee to-
day.
For more than two hours of the
forenoon session of the final public
hearing of the committee, Vertrees ad-
dressed himself to the subject of the
Cunningham Alaskan coal claims in
support of the contention that there
was nothing in Ballingers connection
with them either as commissioner of
the land office, as secretary Of interior
or as a private citizen that justified
criticism
Vertrees insisted that it had been
shown that Ballinger had originally
clear listed" the Cunningham claims
on recommendation of Chief of the
Field Service Schwartz and that when
later, after his retirement from the
land office, he had drawn up the Cum
ningham affidavit, his conduct was not
improper inasmuch as he possessed
no information by reason OF his form
er position that by any possibility
could be used to the prejudice of the
government. He also denied that
there was any ruling in the depart
ment that made it improper for him
to represent the claimant under the
circumstances.
