Galbraith of Calumet asked the judge
TO exclude the jury from the court

the dismissal OF the charges against
his client. Judge Streeter then asked
The defendants counsel and Prosecutor
Macdonald to go with him into his

PENDANT said, in part as follows: "Mr.

LURT0N's FIRST OPINION.
Railroad Given Partial Victory Over
State of Georgia.

Washington.-The Georgia Railroad
and Banking Company MONDAY won a
partial victory over the state Of Geor-
gia when the Supreme Court of the
United States affirmed the main points
in the opinion OF the lower Federal
Court, holding that the railroad was re-
quired TO pay only state tax of one
half OF one per cent. OF the net earnings
of its property and not property or fran
chise taxes.
The opinion was the first Justice Lur.
ton has rendered from the Supreme
Court bench. The only qualification of
this victory was a modification of the
decree as 20 the Washington branch. IS
TO that branch the state won its conten-
tion.
