R. M. Johnston, general manager of the Sawyer and Austin Lumber Con- pany, rendered banquet to his de- partment heads and foremen last ev- ening at the Hotel Jefferson Dr. A. C. Thompson, as toastmaster acquit- ted himself creditably. Among oth- CTS present were some who had been with the company for twenty-five years or more. Dr. Thompson first called on MT. Johnston to make an address of welcome. He stated that he had been in the employ of corpor- ations for the last thirty years and tLat no matter how long man work ed if he proved his ability he was hound to receive his reward in the course of time. Mr. Johnston thank ed all of the employees in behalf of the directors of the Sawyer and Aus tn Lumber Company for the good spirit they have shown since he took the helm some two months ago. MT. Word, the we'll known west end bache- LOT was then called on to tell the in ermost secrets of that feminine tribe known as the widows, but his con- 1uslon was so great that when he arose to answer the toastmaster he could not find words to express his thoughts of the fair sex. Harry At wood, the we'll known railroad official or Pine Bluff, was next called upon to speak about the shipping facilities of their road in Pine Bluff. F. c. Clarke e2-manager of the Sawyer and Austin Lumber Company, expressed his ap- preclatlon of the loyalty of all en- pioyees of the Sawyer & Austin.

RAILROAD CASE IN
THE HIGHEST COURT
Question Is How Severely Did
Congress Intend to Mete
Out Punishment.
EAREIIMENT nc rnIINcEI
ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL
SUIT BROUGHT FOR VIOLATION
OF 2e-HoUR LAW.

Washington, March Allow severe a
punishment Congress has provided for
railroads guilty of violating the So
called '.twenty-eight-hou law" for
Furnishing the unlawful confinement of
livestock In transportation, was the ba-
sis for a stubborn contest today before
the supreme court of the United States.
Counsel for the government contend
that the unit for filming railroads is the
separate shipment. while the legal rep
resentatives of the Baltimore & Ohio
and Ohio Southwestern Railroad COM
pany insist that the unit Is the train, TO
matter of how many separate shipments
II is composed. Some features of the
case resemble the $4,000, 600 Standard
Oil case.
The outcome OF the controversy Will
have a far-reaching effect. Many sep
. arate consignments of stock are carried
frequently IN one train. so the sum of
the penalty imposed by che law viii
vary from 800 TO many time 500, ac-
cording to the outcome of the litigation.
The Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
railroad alone appears in this case, but
practically every common carrier en-
gagged IN interstate commerce in the
United States will feel the effect of the
decision.
Originated In Ohio.
This controversy was begun when the
United States district attorney for the
southern district of Ohio filed eleven
cases against the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern Railroad company, claim
ing that II had carried as many ship
ments of livestock from shippers IN va
rious points in Illinois to Cincinnati
without unloading the stock for rest, all
In violation of the twenty-eight-ho
law.
The railroad admitted the shipment
and its detention beyond the statutory
time, but it averred guilt of only one
oifense. because all the shipments were

has appeared as attorney for the pris-
oners and has worked the bond
through. When the cases get into the
district court 1t often happens that the
prisoner does not appear, the bond is
declared forfeited and then neither the
prisoner nor the bondsmen can be
found In many cases the names of
bondsmen are fictitious.

District Attorney Fred G. Loofbourow.
Many cases have come to the attention
of the district attorney during the last
few weeks, and suits Will be Instituted
against bondsmen of men who have
been arrested for various crimes and
have failed to appear for trial
In all OF the cases noted thus far
where worthless bonds have been put
up to insure the appearance of the pris-

FICTITIOUS BONDS ARE
GIVEN FOR PRISONERS

That straw bonds will be no longer
tolerated and that immediate steps will
be taken for protection in the future,
when bonds are declared forfeited,

carried in one train, and expressed a
willingness to pay fine for one viola
ton.
The district court consolidated the
cases and assessed a single penalty. The
circuit court of appeals for the Sixth
district reversed that decision. The
case then was brought to the supreme
court by the railroad. Briefs on both
sides of the controversy have been filed
with the court. Counsel fer the rail-
road is headed by Judson Harmon. now
governor of Ohio; Solicitor General
Bowers of the department of justice
has directed the fight on behalf of the

Brief of Company.

In the brief of the railroad counsel 1t
is contended that the train Is the factor
Of offenses. because livestock is moved
in trains.
eff there be confinement in cars be-
yond twenty-eight hours during transit
under circumstances which constitute a
violation of the statute, it must be the
fault OF the train,' says the brief.
Congress has not said whether the af-
lenses shall be per head of stock, per
shipment, per carload or per trainload
If Congress had intended there should
be fine of $500 (the maximum penalty
for one offense) for each head of stock
delayed, or for each shipment delayed
or for each carload delayed, 1t was easy
to say so. Bearing in mind the rule of
strict Interpretation of penal statues,
the only reasonable construction of the
statute is that the deention of all stock
on the same train constitutes but one
offense.
Congress did not deem 1t necessary
to be so severe as to permit a fine of
$500 for each shipment in trainload
containing possibly fifty shipments,
when a single fine of $500 would answer
as we'll"

Governments Conclusions.

Several routes lead to the conclusion
that the separate shipment was meant
as the basis, the government contends.
suppose cattle are loaded into cars
by the carrier and kept there more than
twenty-eight hours without unloading
before the cars are put into any train,''
says Solicitor General Bowers in his
brief. rs the train the unit of offense,
though there has been no train? ?"
He asked the same question where
cattle had been sidetracked In cars and
the train proceeded. In the case of cat
tie not being fed after they were un-
loaded, he claimed the train plainly was
not meant to be the unit.
Indeed, the word train does not
once occur in the act" he says.
He further contends that his point is
proved by means of the provisions re-
garding owners consent to the extern
sion of time from twenty-eight to tTir-
ty-six hours.
THE owners consent affects his ship
ment. and only his shipment, whether it
is in a train with other shipments of
livestock or not; and the result is that
the rule of conduct for the carrier varies
as to different shipments. The ship
ment being the unit as to which the car
rier's conduct is prescribed by statute,
IL must equally be the unit of the car
rier's misconduct through violation of
the prescribed rule of conduct concern
ing the shipment"
The court may take some time before
handing down a decision in the case.
