GARFIELD OPPOSES
BALLINGER' PLAN

Washington, January 26.-Former Secre
tary of the Interior Garfield today con-
tinued his statement before the Senate
committee on public lands in reference to
the several bills introduced at the request
of present Secretary Ballinger. Again he
failed to approve of the recommendations
Of Mr.. Ballinger on several important
features of the proposed legislation.
Mr.. Garfield thought the BaIlinger bill
relating to the control of water power
sites would interfere with the improve
ment of lands for development of power.
He declared, however, there should be leg
islation for the control of any lands val
liable for the development of water power
so as to prevent monopolies. The same
principle would apply, he said, to coal
lands.
Most of the members of the committee
declare that they are opposed to any bills
which are designed merely to enable the
government to get every cent possible out
of water power sites or mineral lands. 1t
is asserted that the committee desires to
make it as easy as possible for individuals
to settle up those public lands, and that
no legislation would be favored for any
purpose other than to prevent monopolies
gaining a foothold
Mr.. Garfield has succeeded in avoiding
the appearance of attacking the policies
OF his successor by approving in part
many of the propositions he suggests.

Railroad Men In Session.

Louisville, January 26.-Nearly
hundred of the highest railroad officials
met in Louisville today to thresh out
alleged violations of traffic and trans
portation rules laid at the door of
Birmingham line. Maj. ]. B. Hanson,
president of the Central of Georgia,
acted as chairman. Most Of the Of
ficials were reticent as to the purpose
of the call, declaring that general
railroad conditions" were being dis
cussed and that certain interstate COM
merce commissioner rulings and regu-
lations were being gone over in de-
tail.
The session was executive, and the
office was closed for more than seven
hours A number left sh ortly after
the meeting adjourned.
Horace Smith, vice president of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
railroad, and a brother of Milton Smith,
said: 1.-The meeting of the officials here
in executive session is not Of and sig
nificance to the public. 1t was called
for the purpose of discussing general
conditions and reviewing the physical
situation at present" Mr.. Smith ad-
mitted that the rates had come up but
declared he was not anticipating any
thing radical in the way of recon-
mendations to the interstate commerce
commission.
Among the more prominent officials
present were:
Maj. J. F. Hanson, president of the
Central of Georgia railroad; J. T. Hara-
han, president of the Illinois Central
Milton H. Smith, president of the Louis
Vile and Nashville; T. c. Powell, vice
president of the Queen and Crescent;

RAILROAD FAILS
ON INJUNCTION
Federal Judge Refuses to Take
Action In Matter
DISAGREEMENT ON RATES
Louisville and Nashville Railroad At
tempts to Get an Injunction But
Judge Evans Declines to
Issue One.
DISAGREEMENT ON RATES

Louisville, January 26-An attempt was
made in the United States court today by
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company to obtain an injunction against
the interstate commerce commission to
prevent the commission from enforcing
certain rates on transportation which are
to go into effect February 1.
Judge Evans declined to have anything
to do with the case. what you gentle
men should do" he said, '1s to go up
to Cincinnati before the United States
court of appeals and fight out your diff
ferences there"
The suit grows out of an action taken
some time ago by the board of trade Of
New Orleans in which the board COM
planned to the interstate commerce COM
mission that the Louisville and Nashville
road was charging unreasonably high
rates between Louisville and different
places in the SOUTH
The new rules will limit the new charge
made by railroads on certain goods which
are shipped to the south. The railroad
company declares it's charges are not
unreasonable.
The bill of complaint as filed by the
Louisville and Nashville road is a docu-
ment of nearly 100 pages and consists of
severe arraignment of the interstate
commerce commission and in particular
of the action of that body in undertaking
to exercise rate making powers with
complete investigation. In fact, the
Louisville and Nashville's bill is consid-
cred one of the most direct attacks upon
the powers of the interstate commerce
commission in recent years and is prob
ably the forerunner of a lengthy legal
test both for the powers of the inter-
state commerce commission and of the
reasonableness with which that body ex-
ercises its powers.
The specific matter in complaint relates
to rates recently established by the
Louisville and Nashville for freight pc
tween New Orleans and Mobile and New
Orleans and Pensacola. The road claims
that these rates were established entire
ly because of water competition and in
equity the road ought not to be forced
to make rates between inland points con-
form to rates between seaport towns.
Apparently the interstate commerce
commission took different view of the
matter, for In an order signed some
weeks ago the road is directed to equal
ize rates so that inland towns may have
an equal chance in freight rates with
towns that enjoy water competition.
The petition also establishes the fact
that the Louisville and Nashville pro-
posed to raise some of the rates between
New Orleans and Mobile and New Or
leans and Pensacola, because of the fact
that water competition is not so formid-
able as 1t once was. 1t is admitted that
rates in many parts of the south are low
er than freight rates out of Louisville
and Memphis.

Declines to Take Jurisdiction.

Washington, January 26.-Telegraphic
advices received by the interstate COM
merce commission Indicate that the
United States federal Judge at Louis
vile, KY, W. z. Evans, declined to
take jurisdiction of an application made
by the Louisville and Nashville railroad
and OTHER carriers for an injunction
against the enforcement of an order of
the commission.
The order was made in the case of
the New Orleans board of trade against
the Louisville and Nashville and others
reducing the classified rates from New
Orleans, La, to Mobile, Ala, and Pen
sacola, Fla.
The order was effective February /,
but in the peculiar circumstances of
the case the commission extended the
effective date of the order to March l.
in order to enable the railroads to
make their application for an injunc-
ton to the full bench of the United
States circuit court.

L. & NJ. MAKES SPEECH OF PRE-
sENTATION - COLONEL HOOD
PROBABLE CANDIDATE.

Gadsden. January 26-(Special.) 1.-THE
opening of the new union passenger sta
ton of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road company today was attended by
special exercises in the presence of sew
eral hundred people. Superintendent T.
e. Brooks arrived in the city in his
private car on the II 80 train and the
delegation of citizens met him at the
depot where the formal presentation of
the depot was made and the programme
carried out. Mr.. Brooks was introduced
to the audience by ex-Mayor Charles
P. Smith and after thanking the assem-
bled citizens for their kind greeting, in
Few well chosen words, made a presenta-
tion of the structure to the people of
Gadsden. In the absence of the present
mayor, Mr.. Murphree being out of the
city, the speech of acceptance was made
by Mr. Smith, who graciously acknowl-
edged the appreciation of the Gadsden
public for the generosity of the railroad
in providing the city with the magnifi-
cent, modern station and pledged the
city to reciprocity in it's treatment of
the company. The local ticket office
was today moved to the new location
and the first train to stop at the new
depot will be the afternoon train from
Admission at o'clock.
The Graves Matthews Paving company
which has the contract for the paving
of the business section of the city, has
been awarded the contract by the gov
eminent for the paving around the new
federal building.
1t is rumored on the streets today
that Col o. r. Hood Will be candi-
date for congress from this district. Mr.
Hood Is the present chairman OF the
congressional committee and for many
years was the law partner of Congress
man Burnett, with whom he would con-
tend for the place should he decide to
be a candidate. Colonel Hood is rec
ognized as one of the foremost lawyers
of the state and has a good following
in this county and throughout the dis
trict. When approached on the matter
Mr.. Hood declined to make any state
ment.
Orders have been issued by the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis rail-
road for the trains of the division of
the system entering this city to use the
new passenger station, beginning tomor-
row. This will, together with the Louis
Vile and Nashville. throw at least rs
per cent of the passenger travel to and
from the city through the new station.
Despite the fact that the state execu-
tive committee has declared for single
primary and the plurality plan of Sc
1ecting the party candidates. 1t is prob
able that in this county the committee
will decide to hold a double primary for
the selection of the county candidates.
The first will probably be held in time
so that the final contest for honors may
come off at the same time as the pri-
mary for the state candidates.
F. NJ. Boozer, the present county COM
missioner from the Second district. to-
day announced himself as a candidate
for recollection.
