Como June 1S.-The theory Of double

soaked and the stains had spread.
Chemical Analysis To show.
In view of these statements. the magis!

when the body was found.
The police still believe that Porter
Charlton is alive. They think he has

JUDO WA.DO.I[L
is SU.SITA. ||.NED|.
Court Of Appeals Will Not IN
terfere in Freight Rate
Controversy.
Controversy.

The United States Circuit Court OF
yesterday sustained Judge Ed
mund Waddill in his refusal to issue
an Injunction restraining the Southern
Company from putting into
effect higher schedule OF freight
rates in Its relation to the Tennessee
Central Railway. The argument be-
fore the appellate court was held be-
fore Circuit Judges Pritchard and Cot
and District Judge Boyd.
| The ruling Is virtually that held
| py the court in q recent opinion. which
I Is that the Circuit Court was without
jurisdiction to entertain the bill Of the
!. tennessee Central Railroad for the
reason that the Interstate Commerce
i commission has exclusive cognizance
of the controversy. The Court Of Ap-
: peals, however. holds that the South
| ern Railway has taken the necessary
steps to revoke the through route and
FONT tariff established and nut in
force. - -
Nevertheless. as required by tho IN
terstate Commerce Commission, all
proceedings connected with the revoca-
ton OF freight rates and the promul-
sat!on OF new routes and tariffs must
be had before and by the commission.
Inc temporary restraining order issued
by Judge Waddill Is dissolved. The
case was argued by Samuel w. For
dyce, Jr., and A. G.. Brnxton, for the
tennessee Central. and by "A. P. Thorn
and Henry w. Anderson, for the South
ern Railway. 10
