Captain r. E. WelIes. the superin-
tendent of the horse department Of the
great Interstate Fair which will open
in Pensacola November Z, has written
to the management Of the fair that he
has secured since he has been in Bir-
mingham and other parts Of Alabama,
about IS fast horses which will come
to the fair. In fact Captain Welles
has ascertained that all the good
horses that are at the fairs in Ala
bama will be at the Pensacola fair
and may be at the races following.
Captain Welles is at present at the
fair at Athens. Alabama. He writes
that Bill Jones. Of Columbia, Tenn. ::
Thomas and Burks. OF Winchester;
Abernathy, of Pulaski: Fitzgerald, of

ford Alabama, will all be in Pensacola
with their strings of race horses.
These horses include some very fast
ones.
Captain Wel1es also writes that the
people from all the towns that he has
visited and from the towns where
these horses are owned are coming to
the Pensacola fair in droves- He says
that they are arranging large parties
and Will try to get party rates or ex-

that has ever been held in this part
of the south.

RAILROADS TEST
THE CARMACK ACT
IT MAKES THE INITIAL CARRIER
OF INTERSTATE COMMERCE
LIABLE FOR DAMAGE OCCUR.
RING ON CONNECTING LINES AS
WELL AS ITS OWN.
By Associated Press.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Ths validity
of the so-called "Carmack amendment"
to the Hepburn rate law of 1904 was
today before the supreme court of the
United States for argument. This
amendment makes the initial carrier
Of interstate commerce liable for dam
ages occurring in transportation, not
only on its own lines. but on connect
ing lines. The contest is probably
the greatest of all of the legal ocntro-
versies which have arisen out of the
passage of the Hepburn rate law.
Attacking the constitutionality OF
the law at this time are the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company and the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Com
pany. In addition to those claiming
damages for shipments over these rail-
roads, Attorney General Wickersham,
Of the department of justice. has come
forth to defend the constitutionality
of the law Briefs have been filed in
the cases and the matter set down for
for oral argument. From two pri-
mary points of view the railroads at.
tack the law. They claim that the re.
quirement that the initial carrier shall
issue receipt of bill of ladIng for the
property TO be transported and be
liable for any loss throughout the
transportation. conpels one railroad
to be responsible for another com.
pany's errors. The other point is that

shall exempt the initial carrier from
this liability for loss On the connect.
